Oh yay just in time for Cancer and/or Surgery: Margaerymoth Bloodwork Edition. And I’m on medicare! Whee! We live in awesome times. (I’m so ashamed of our country).

So today I found out I either have a parathyroid tumor, or some sort of mystery (probably blood) cancer. Two great options! I’m hoping for the neck surgery, not the chemo., but without now I’m pretty much worried I’ll be deader than dead. I also depend on the ACA for heart meds. and my psych. care. Truly terrifying…

Oof I was so concerned with spoilers for that show I watched the leaked eps. though. And then obviously watched them again when they aired.

C’mon Jinni. Obviously anyone who uses the super-clever made-up word “dim-o-cretin” has sufficiently higher intelligence than us with our liberal ladybrains and is therefore always right. /sarcasm

It makes sense from a strategic standpoint, for sure. And I think if NK COULD get a nuke to DC or NYC you guys would be done too, but even LA is their furthest possible range. If China or Russia decide to strike US interests...yeah, no one’s making it out. This is why I’ve gained 10lbs since the election.

Hah! I don’t think China or Russia would go as far as to nuke the east coast? They still have too much to lose. Though TBH Guam and Hawaii are more realistically fucked than either of us. :/

The east coast is preeeeeeeeeeetty safe. NK isn’t getting a bomb that far, and Russia/China aren’t going to try. Seattle/Portland/Los Angeles. So I’m fucked.

I am so sorry about your pain; that really sucks, is terrible, and I’m sure super-traumatizing. However, wow damn when you mentioned what people have told you I really assumed it was some major neurological issue...Jesus. Amputations aren’t even that uncommon, especially in the States with the high diabetes rate.

Well definitely let’s focus on the right word for all this not the fact that women are being killed because who gives a fuck, right?

“CNN reports that as this attack is the first significant and direct military action launched in the region, it could very well be interpreted by the Syrian government as an act of war.”

Jane’s house is in PASADENA! Hah!

I would love to visit Pakistan. It has some amazing mountain scenery, and as someone interested in the gem trade, the Peshwar gemstone market would be an amazing visit.

This is literally the whole point and I don’t get the people in this thread defending it. This is ITALY we’re talking about, not Norway. Ugh.

I recently recieved almost-30-yr old childhood information that indicates I have a ton of learning disabilities and may also be on the spectrum. Other than the anger of being denied this info. growing up, it’s been insanely helpful to know. I also have a therapist who specializes in that now, and it’s much better than…

Um...wow. This would both comfort and traumatize me. I bet you’re all way more likely to survive IRL now, though...

I agree. It distances the critique from actual journalism, which is what I believe these pieces need to be.

Noooooooooo! That would be such a waste of weed oil.

Absolutely power corrupting absolutely, or something like that?

Whatever people, weed oil in a pen is *fantastic.*

Oh God I desperately wish I could rock this look but I am an E cup with an hourglass shape. NOPE. (CRIES).
