I wish I understood the youths these days. Last week people were coming for a popular podcaster over his (correct) assertion that Madonna used sex to sell records. Like... in what Universe was Madonna *not* selling sex!?!?!
She rationed energy for uncountable days to prepare for this, and anticipated that she would be incapacitated for a period of time after.
As the spouse of a chronically ill person; this performance came at a huge cost, and was a beautiful gift to all of us. Merci, chère Céline.
Doctors: sounds, extreme emotions, lighting can trigger a crisis
Sensasionalist press: Céline Dion has lost her voice
Random accounts: Celine Dion on her deathbed
Céline: hold my Eiffel Tower
She's a fighter, she's a queen and she'll always be the moment
Kyle Carrozza stole Ang Vondra’s future for nothing, because the law caught up to him anyway in the end. May the world forget him until the hour of his death, and then after that, too.
I had contact from Ang. Their health is still extremely precarious, and they've had multiple scares. They're barely clinging on right now and currently couch surfing, but they heard about this. They told me that many people in Kyle Carrozza's circle ABSOLUTELY knew about this.
i love ships where one character is very put together has a 15 step beauty routine not a hair out of place and the other character looks and acts like they just crawled out of the sewer and befriended a family of rats while living there

When I worked at a fast food franchise, I witnessed everyone who left before me getting their hours massively cut after giving two weeks' notice. When I gave four days' notice, I received a lecture on not being classy bc I didn't give enough notice. 🙄🙄🙄

Stevie Nicks heard "Little Red Corvette" for the 1st time on her wedding day & wrote "Stand Back", She called Prince, who she did not know, to offer him some of the rights. He arrived at her studio within the hour, spent 25 mins doing keyboard arrangements, and left immediately.

You are the third person I have heard the "I married the first person I met on Bumble" story from. Bumble's matching algorithm is powerful!

Where I live, “Super fancy”, “Italian” and “Brunch” don’t happen together. Super fancy restos that do Italian cuisine call themselves “Mediterranean” and Italian restos don’t do brunch.
When my son was diagnosed with autism, I cried, too. But I wasn't crying because my child wasn't "perfect". My child is exactly who he was meant to be. I cried because the world is ableist. I cried because I am so scared that my son will be put in situations where 1/3

last night, it gave me the ick when the Jedi just broke into the witches’ home without any regard for their privacy. Did anyone else stop short at that?
Here's a paradox for you: Reylos are the thirstiest most horny SW fans of all and yet our canonical porn is two fully clothed people almost but not quite holding hands
LRT I am often surprised at how unpopular this opinion is but I *fucking love it* when tv shows have a defined end; they tell their story and wrap the arc. Didn't we learn anything from watching the cringe-inducing decline of X Files, Lost, etc.? Bc that's the alternative.
I don't want to cancel any new Star Wars games; I want them to be developed by an entity that will respect diversity, include queer representation, and design strong, intelligent female characters.

Religions from ancient times have lunar calendars. Menstrual cycles vary in length up to 42 days and can disappear with famine etc. The likelihood of the calendar of a precise & regular menstrual cycle surviving is low. Those calendars were probably lunar.

An old wives’ tale is that your BO gets cranked up to 11 so your baby can find your boob in the dark if you’re a cavewoman sharing your fur pile with your neonate.
***PSA***
Things you can't pin on all Reylos:
* Review bombing behaviour
* Lesser popularity of other ships
* The existence of racism
Things which are definitely the fault of the Reylos:
Autism & neurodiversity are not tragedies like terminal illness. They are part of the variation that makes humanity ingenious and expansive. I don't want my child to be anyone other than who he is. What I want is a world that will accommodate him and appreciate his gifts. 3/3
Please don't mock & deride authors for the topics they choose.
I checked; the fics are TAGGED with "cheating" & "infidelity" and they're in a collection that has "infidelity" in the name.
People can & should write what they want, and if you don't like it, don't read it.
Non-gentle reminder that our beloved Carrie Fisher wrestled with substance use and self-medication and mental health issues; by showing up for each other with compassion and love, we honour her memory. ✨Space Mom forever ✨

Ectopic means anywhere outside of the uterus; rarely an ovum can implant somewhere other than the fallopian tube. If you did not have tubal implantation but elsewhere in your abdominal cavity there wouldn't have been rupture or pain & it's still ectopic.
he isn't seen or appreciated for the smart, capable, wonderful person he is. I cried because I know that getting him to where he can fulfil his potential and achieve his dreams is going to be a struggle for him, and for us, while we nurture him as mothers are supposed to. 2/3
@kinostl
Someone did that in my fandom yesterday ("Why is character X showing interest in Y, isn't character Q enough for them?") and it was a real day-ruiner let me tell you
@AskAManager
Upper mgmt created an SOP for how all empl should organize the drawers at our desks. Top drawer used only for x, middle drawer for y, bottom drawer for z. Only two personal items allowed per cubicle. This was not useful or warranted in our industry & was roundly mocked by all.
Not to start any drama but consider this a gentle suggestion to the Reylos that we get the book that was written by a fiercely pro-choice Irish feminist (
@DenzerWriter
) instead of the one by the person who is... not any of those things

Friends, I've spent the past four years adulting really hard to eliminate some debt we fell into because of my wife's chronic illness, and subsequent disability. As of April 18th, it'll be over, and my credit score will begin to heal. I'm gonna get myself flowers. 🌼

I'm not enough of an authority on queer history to say; but the consensus I have seen among other bis is that they do not & never have intended to be trans/nb exclusionary. I identify as bi-pan and for me, "bi" means that I can find people's gender performance alluring 1/

My wife had a severe MS attack that caused her to be unable to speak or move the entire right side of her body. Because her anxiety was mentioned during intake, everyone assumed she was malingering. When the MRI showed lesions the neuro apologised with real shame on her face.
Today is my 15th wedding anniversary. When Sair & I got married, we didn't know anything. Now, we still don't know anything, but we have fifteen years worth of clutter and one beautiful kid. None of it would exist without her; she's everything. 💕
Too many manbabies in my mentions today. Listen, if you're going to cry like Kylo Ren you had better eat pussy like him too, or else I just don't have the time honey 💅🏻
Can someone please remind me that readers will enjoy the same scenario a hundred times written in different ways because I am writing the world's most clichéd premise but I can't bring myself to do anything else

It's so wild, I don't get that mentality at all. I'm the whitest whitey to ever white and I actually don't GAF if I am among the last white people to ever exist. I just want a world of people who are compassionate and make beautiful things. The % of white ppl is unimportant.

This needs to be more widely known & taken for granted. When author Chris Cleave trained with high-performance cyclists for research, he quickly realised that they had a genetically freakish combination of muscle and lung capacity that cannot be acquired through training.

A lot of people never do pay them back. Medical debt is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the US. Also, there are lots of "tricks", some of which you can see in the thread - ask for "charity care", get an itemized bill that shows they charged you $36 for a band-aid 1/
Despite what TFM says, Reylos don't own the feminist agenda in Star Wars. There's no need to elucidate that you're "NOT a Reylo" every three minutes when you're making the case for inclusive fandom. You're not borrowing it from us, it's yours too. Sorry we got our cooties on it.
Black Krrsantan was so freaking intimidating! Like imagine having to fight that wookie and he had orders to kill you by all means necessary...😐

I explained to my wife how creepy it is for a man to use subterfuge to insinuate himself into a space from which he was disinvited by a woman, and ruined that film for her forever.
@AlterEgon2
Thank you for putting it this way, it makes so much sense. My son is autistic ( I'm ND). His special interest is public transit; the metro & buses in our city. When he's dysregulated he recites the bus stops on a certain route, in order. It helps him so much.
It is a huge honour and privilege to be invited to share space with this collection of beautiful, strong, insightful creators and the community they're building. I'm excited to see what we're going to do, and I hope you are too!
Thirty-three minutes ago, my son turned exactly eight years old. Happy birthday, my sweet, beautiful, beloved Silas. Thank you for being my child; I would never choose anyone else. ❤️
Conflict and negative attention are not "harassment".
Being part of the GOP and sympathizing with antis/puriteens reflects poorly on a person. I'm sorry if that's hurtful, but it's a natural consequence of holding those beliefs. 🤷🏻♀️
Constructive criticism, creative speculation, & positive debate are totally fine; needless nitpicking & unnecessary hate are not.
If you could change 1 or 2 details about The Force Awakens to improve it more to your personal liking, what-if anything-would you change?

At 114 lbs, she’s close to the bottom of the ideal weight chart for a 5’4” female (110 - 140 lbs). Add the fact that she ate restrictively pre-pregnancy and 114 is probably an artificially low weight for her body.
