Oh goth yes. I was on the phone with the "outside office hours" phone number and I felt she took my symptoms seriously and everything.

If it does happen again, I have diclofenac left over! So that's good.

Breathing was fine, but it took effort, because the pain itself made me want to hold my breath, it's that makes sense?

But yeah, it was very fucking painful. Especially because it was constant for multiple hours?

Vroeger kookte en bakte ik heel graag, maar ik kan niet meer zolang staan en mijn energie niveau is te onvoorspelbaar. (haakwerkje kan je op elk moment wegleggen, maar bij een cake is dat lastiger)

Ik ben wel erg van de yarn-hobbies: haken, vroeger ook breien en macrame, en nu dus weven. Borduren trekt me minder, maar dat doet mijn moeder heel veel en heel goed.

Natuurlijk!

Weef jij ook?

Thank you! If I have this again, I might try magnesium. Coconut oil I avoid anyway, since it makes me nauseous. They put it in so many cakes and tarts with cream these days, it's quite annoying.

Ja! In november een workshop gedaan samen met m'n moeder, en we zijn er allebei door gegrepen. Ik had een klein weefraam (mijn moeder een grote) maar ik hield marktplaats goed in de gaten. En toen kwam dit langs voor 200!

Oh please!

I already knew I had gallstones (confirmed with an ultrasound and everything), and had a stab of pain about once a week a few years ago, but this basically stopped. This was my first attack, and I'm not a fan.

It's 7am here. I woke up from the pain about 5 hrs ago. Let's see if I can sleep a bit! (my brain was too busy, so I needed to do some posting to get it out of my system, apparently)

Hurray painkillers! Pain is almost gone which is GREAT, since it started about 5hrs ago (it's now 7am here)

I discovered something for you all: a gallstone attack hurts a fucking shit ton. So I'd avoid those, if at all possible! This was my public service announcement, brought to you by painkillers that are finally fully kicking in.

That's Very Much Different, of course. Sorry about my confusion here. πŸ˜‹

i’m not saying β€œlook away”, but radical antifascist action doesn’t look like watching a screen & shouting how angry you are.

you gotta do tangible acts.

the media landscape being controlled by fucked up interests means that part of what it’s doing is keep you paralyzed & distracted.

We Lived Happily during the War

And when they bombed other people's houses, we

protested but not enough, we opposed them but not

enough. I was in my bed, around my bed America

was falling: invisible house by invisible house by invisible house-

I took a chair outside and watched the sun.

In the sixth month of a disastrous reign in the house of money

in the street of money in the city of money in the country of money, our great country of money, we (forgive us)

lived happily during the war.

I wish I was shocked by Elizabeth Bear acting this way but I remember her role in racefail + her attacking someone accusing her husband Scott Lynch of inappropriate behavior and I see she hasn’t changed in the years since

I saw another skeet which said the only good thing to come from his writing was that miniseries but mostly the amazingly wholesome fandom this produced 🀍 I'm inclined to agree.

Dan Simmons, noted racist, has died. He wrote Hyperion, which contained a good short story and then a lot of other words, which many of us read anyway because it was the Nineties and Waldenbooks had a limited science fiction section.
