Minor compared to a lot, but went to urgent care 2 wks before my wedding with pain on my left side + vomiting. Dr said it was IBS due to nerves from upcoming wedding. About 3 months later I passed this kidney stone 🙃

what’s a clear example of medical misogyny you’ve witnessed or experienced?

The US continues to be shitty. Distracting myself with my new hobby: embroidery. Got a kit recently to learn. The one in the pic is the one I did after the kit, all on my own! Yay lots of stabbing!

@minaviendha Apparently he has me blocked too, which like, wow, didn’t think I was active or important enough to catch a block from anyone 😅

In my mind, it made sense to draw Jesus comforting Lucifer, to slice a piece off his own cloak to stop the bleeding. Two divine beings made to roam the earth. It can’t be blasphemy to draw him kind…

@geryrrs Ahh, hope you love it! He eventually explains a lot of lore stuff if you give it time, lol. And later books expand the world even more. So worth the effort.

Social anxiety probs: waiting inside at the car dealership. There’s a coffee machine thing. I want some, but my brain is afraid it isn’t for customers despite it being in the public waiting room and seeing a couple ppl I’m pretty sure aren’t employees getting some. 🫠

@geryrrs Poor Arithon goes through SO MUCH. Hell, every character does. It’s rough. Seems to have held up pretty well too! Wasn’t sure I’d still like it as an adult. More shocked in retrospect I made it through as a kid!

@Listenerbell_ Imma start a campaign to get WoT fans reading The Wars of Light and Shadow series so I can have ppl to talk to about it, lol.

@geryrrs Though it has fairly complex prose, so definitely not the easiest thing to break a reading block 😅

@geryrrs I think a lot of WoT fans would also enjoy The Wars of Light and Shadow series. Lots of differences, but complex characters, complex world building, super tortured main character. I’m rereading it for the first time since high school right now!

Wait no, it was my science or math teacher. And I got the first few books for Christmas that year, so I was 11. In retrospect, it’s WILD I made it through that book. Talk about learning curve! Plus some dense prose.

I think this might have been my first big epic fantasy series. My 6th grade English teacher had Peril’s Gate in the classroom library, so I definitely started it before any Sanderson or Malazan. I don’t remember when I started Wheel of Time, but probably high school.

Also, though I do enjoy Kvothe overall as a character, he only wishes he could be as cool and tragic as Arithon s’Ffalenn

Curse of the Mistwraith spoilers . . . . . . . Lysaer’s sense of justice being twisted by the curse was infuriating to read in high school, but is even more so now. Reads very self-righteous conservative asshole to me now. Worst possible interpretation of everything Arithon does.
