When you said that Vlad used his stiletto to pin things to his desk, I spent a good minute pondering logistics of stabbing a heel into a table, before determining that Vlad must have custom-made stilettos with bladed heels. It was only after that conclusion that I realized there is, in fact, another meaning of stiletto.

😂 I love that. That's such an Adora Belle Dearheart coded thing to do.

Now just imagining Vlad using his stiletto to pin half-scribbled reminders to his desk so he doesn't lose them.

Like, hmm, where did he put that note? Ah, yes. Under the big sharp pointy thing.

Swithin considers pointing out that he's ruining both the blade and the desk, but after 400 years of being a vampire thrall to the walking embodiment of undead ADHD chaos, you learn to pick your battles.

No, you know what, everyone be nice to Liam Hemsworth. He's not the step Geralt, he's the Geralt who stepped up.

The historical weapons nerds want to know--what are Nathan, Vlad and Ursula's preferred weapons should the occasion call for steel?

Oooooh, that's a good question...

If you're going to take away her magic, Ursula prefers a bow, but if you force her up close and personal, she's got a serrated dagger in her boot that she won't hesitate to slip between your ribs. She's also not above poisoning someone when necessary.

Nathan will always prefer claws and teeth, but as an officer in the Nevrondian Army, he's proficient with any number of weapons -- though they're currently in the time period of their world where the bayonet is heavily favored. He's also required to carry a sword as part of his dress uniform. He doesn't like it, but he's proficient with it. Same with guns. He carries a flintlock pistol on him. It's old, but it was a gift from his father before he left for active duty the first time, so he likes to keep it on him. It's never let him down when he's needed it.

Vlad's grandfather taught him how to use a spear as soon as he was old enough to hold one. Same with the Blutvarian saber. He hates both with a passion and hasn't picked either up since they fled for Nevrond. He's got a stiletto dagger kicking around his tower somewhere that he used to wear on his belt back in the day. Even before he was turned, he had the speed and precision to pierce through armor better than anyone else in his grandfather's court.

Joy I _also_ had my first mammogram today (I’m fine, benign findings) and I am suddenly very annoyed that my mychart doesn’t have any information about how much my breasts weigh now. All I got was a “very dense.”

Ey! I got the dense thing, too! Dense titty club! (and congrats on the benign findings)

They also mentioned I had a lot of calcifications for someone my age, but they all looked 'fine' and were not in any worrisome areas. The assumption was that the Ehlers Danlos means I'm sustaining damage to the soft tissue without realizing it, so my body is responding by calcifying around the area. So now I'm claiming the phrase "Fosilized Tits" for a band I'll never form.

And tbh I think the weight thing is really new because I'd never heard of it before until I had to make this appointment. The machine I was clamped into looked like a friendlier version of Hal 9000 😂

I'm so glad everyone's enjoying the hilarity of the titty post.

It's made what was quite frankly a rather anxious experience into a surreal and funny one. Thanks for joining me in the laughter <3

Like, I get it, writers often have day jobs -- if not multiple day jobs -- to make ends meet, and you need to grab every available moment to write where you can.

But I really don't like how a lot of these videos are presented.

It smacks of hustle culture, especially when it's phrased as this neat hack to unlock "extra hours in the day," as though you're not depriving yourself of sleep to make it happen.

Idk. Maybe it's being a crippled, burned-out bitch making me jealous of their energy, but I can't help but worry that the people making these videos are going to wake up one day and realize they've harmed themselves through exhaustion for minimal gain.

Like, sure, write when the creative flow is best for you, but don't 'One Neat Trick, Doctor's Hate This Woman' your audience by selling sleep deprivation as a productivity hack to them. We get enough of that in every aspect of our waking lives. We don't need it from fellow creatives.

I don't know what tenth circle of hell my YouTube algorithm fell into, but I really wish it would stop showing me videos of 5 a.m. morning writing routines.

"Are YOU part of the highly productive 5 a.m. writers club?"

Does it count if you didn't go to bed the night before?

I don't know what tenth circle of hell my YouTube algorithm fell into, but I really wish it would stop showing me videos of 5 a.m. morning writing routines.

Congrats on your mysterious, compliant tiddies (and good to know you're okay!)

Thank you! Wasn't too keen on being told there was a different potential problem from the one that brought me in but hey, better to know that not!

[thebibliosphere]

Honestly, same!

I was shocked in the room, but I was also like.... this person handles and scans breasts all day using a fancy dedicated breast scanning machine that is doing something very clever to tell her the numbers, so... maybe??? I guess????? What the fuck????

It didn't even occur to me that a US machine would use kilos until I saw the results in the mychart 😅

Had a 'fun' new experience today in the form of my first ever mammogram because I found a lump on my chest a few weeks ago, and when you find a lump, you get that shit checked out.

Ironically, the lump I went to get investigated turned out to be nothing, likely just a cyst that made its way to the surface, but they did find something else on the scan that requires me to do a follow-up ultrasound in six months. The doctor stressed that it is most likely a fibroid, but given my family history of breast cancer and general weird health fuckery, they're being vigilant and keeping an eye on it.

The mammogram itself was fine. The technician doing it kept complimenting me on the "pliable" nature of my breast tissue and how easy it was to smoosh me into the machine. I was like thanks, I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome; my body is basically made of only slightly more reinforced laffy taffy.

She said, "That explains that," and then proceeded to smush my tits into a pancake. Apparently, they were the most compliant tits she's worked with. I said thank you because what else can you do in that situation. And then she asked me if I wanted to know how much they weighed, and I said boy, do I?!

So she started reading off the results and was like, "17.7 lbs," and I was like, gosh, no wonder they feel so heavy, and then she kept talking and said, "And the other one weighs..."

And that's when I realized she didn't mean total.

She meant one boob was 17.7lbs.

So in case you've ever wanted to know, my right boob weighs 17.7 lbs, and my left one weighs 17.3 lbs, bringing the grand weight hanging off my chest to an even 35 lbs.

The tech was like "gosh! That's a lot for someone of your size!" and I was like "ya fucking think?!"

For a frame of reference, I weigh 136 lbs total. One-quarter of my weight is tits.

I am one-quarter titty.

And I'm telling that to the next doctor who suggests I lose weight.

Anyway. Remember to do regular breast exams, and don't be afraid of mammograms. Yes, they're checking for cancer, but they also tell you fun things like how much your chest weighs and whether or not your boobs are compliant.

My cat is about 9lbs so now that you have the real weight, you can still describe your tittie as being about one kitty

Excellent!

Also this "MY BOOBS WEIGHT HOW MUCH" is cracking me up esp since I'm get a ton of my boob weight taken off Tuesday XD

Congratulations on the literal weight off your chest!
