Good luck!!! I hope that department can help make the bill a manageable one

Assuming you're in the US, it's possible the hospital you accessed care at has an office to help with this. Check if they have a financial assistance or "charity care" policy. (If they're a non-profit, they should for sure!)

If the US were part of the ICC, absolutely. But we aren't, and we have a standing law authorizing the president to take basically any action to prevent a US official from being tried by the ICC, so ...

it's tricky! But super fun anyway, at least for me! (And sometimes being "bad" at it just leads to lovely discoveries of new puzzles)

Look how how good of a girl Cammie was for me when we got to see each other last weekend!!

that, or a scene where if you frame a statement a certain way I don't realize you're saying it (even as I'm fully awake and alert), it just gets to feel like My Thought? ;)

I was talking to @misscammiedawn.bsky.social about something I can just imagine her saying to me when we see eachother next week.

Her response was to ask if I was sure that wasn't her words making a home for themselves in my head.

Which is just entirely too hot of a concept.

I do too - but I definitely think there are allosexuals who will make the assumption, and other ace folk for it, and ace folk who will assume that's what's meant and feel like they don't belong in our community as a result. That's why I think the "not all desire is sexual" bit must be explicit.

I think we need to be very careful to address the assumption that desire = sexual desire if we go into this space, though. Because there are plenty of ways to experience desire for hypnokink that don't touch on anything sexual, and we have too many ace folk in our community to ignore that.

We're definitely trying to find more. The "is this a thing" threads on the discord are a fun place to devolve into conspiracy theories

depending on what kind of furniture, they make these slings that you slide under the furniture, and then 2 people can team lift it with the weight more on their shoulders and hips than arms. They're super useful for big/heavy items!!

Will give an update when they're both available!

I admittedly was less surprised by it being in this direct than the friends I was live-reacting with - mostly due to your theorizing with Dan Jones ages ago that Switch 2 delays were the reason for the radio silence on Silksong. Thanks for good insights!!!

it was a very, very long day. Not thinking for a bit was lovely <3

you're so very good at it, my love <3

ghshfjajfjjsbfjakdjd this is a Very Good Photo of you???!!!!!! fksbfjskfnancnsnfnakfnsncjsjs

in this house we stand for inconvenient queers, trans people who don't give a shit about passing, angry Black women, undocumented immigrants who are tired of being polite to racists; mentally ill people on public transit; and everyone else you're too proper to stand on solidarity with.

Quite specifically, we call it "Disney Deer" because the file uses the name itself as an open trigger - which, again, is sloppy AF, at best (and wildly unethical at worst). We're just trying not to trigger folk without their consent.

Nothing at all about it being some super powerful file. It isn't.

There is a physiological response to these irrational feelings, and in these cases, it's not as simple as throwing logic at them. Some survival instinct is being activated regardless of how aware you are that it shouldn't be.

It's like pointing out an injury and expecting that to stop it hurting.

hey. There are ways to get that charge reduced:
1) ask for an itemized bill. Sometimes that drops the cost all on its own.
2) most hospitals/health systems have a department that works with uninsured folk - ask if they have a "charity care" or a "financial aid policy" - if they're non-profit, esp.

Thread. I am begging you to read this.

If that's what you must do to soothe your pride, my love.

Won't you, my charming, clever, wonderful Fae? ;)

Could be fun to see Parker hypnotizing someone with coffee to get them to focus on being productive for a bit

Your people are amazing, wonderful people
