He's from a world where main characters allowed to have flaws that aren't handwaved or celebrated by plot, and female characters don't exist just to make the hero look good.

I can't bring myself to ire. There's something that switches on in Hobb's writing when she's writing about Fitz and the Fool, something that hasn't existed in her other work aside from The Liveship Traders.

This book can't come too soon.

Or Seattle, don't forget us Seattleites.

I have a close friend with a fistula bc of a chronic illness. I get that this is funny on the surface and I hate to be that downer but it's an awful thing to live with and I am sure this would help her a lot versus what she currently does to keep dry and clean.

GDs make good apartment dogs because they are enormous couch potatoes & they are truly gentle giants. They also drink out of the bathroom sink.

The videos are AMAZING. Flawless & Haunted are probably my favourites but there are SO MANY that it's hard to choose.

I get the same thing every time. I don't know what to tell you.

I'm a physician who has worked in the ER. When a patient is not in any danger, it is not competely inappropriate or unethical for a staff member to privately and anonymously find some small humor in them having munchies or other typical minor adverse reactions to drugs.

Legality aside, it's not at all cool to give people pot without their knowledge or consent. A friend of mine was given a pot brownie without being told that it had pot in it.

It seriously is. I hope nobody who ate the marijuanas was about to get their ninety day chip or something.

Yeah, being drugged without consent is really hilarious. Especially when it involves children.

Drugging people without their consent is wrong.

The original picture Lindy posted, made me think "wait, this is Jezebel, we shouldn't be judging people by the first photo we see of them." But then I saw Exhibit B...

FRIENDOMETRIUM

I think that too. Just like ... "what if I jumped off?" No reasoning behind it, which weirds me out even more.

I have a similar fear with edges of buildings, train tracks... the Grand Canyon was the worst. I could not even get close to the edge because somewhere deep in my brain I kept thinking "oh shit... this is the day that weird thing inside me will get control and I won't be able to stop myself from jumping/falling off..."

How about walking across a river on a bridge and then fearing you'll jump in the water and drown?

My mind never ceases to horrify me.

Some days I'm afraid that I am the only one in the universe and everything/everybody is just part of my imagination.

So really, he should be an old hand at this sort of thing.
