Today we’re featuring a local (to me) author who writes paranormal nonfiction! Fans of Ghost Hunters might recognize her from the episode, “Prescription for Fear,” which explores the Peoria State Hospital. Sylvia’s interview includes some great stories about about some of our fellow authors in the area that I know you’ll enjoy. If paranormal nonfiction is your jam, then be sure to have a pen…

It’s still completely absurd that Ford just happened to have a backup pair of glasses on his person when he fell through the portal.

I know it was obviously only included in the Journal to get around the whole dramatic glasses foreshadowing in the series and the portal scene in ATOTS, and for that reason alone it’s actually pretty funny and one of my favourite ‘random Ford character details’

But as a glasses wearer myself, who the fuck carry’s a spare pair of IDENTICAL glasses on their person at all times!??!? Is this something he’s always done? Since he was a kid maybe*? Possible something he picked up in his 20’s he never dropped? But even then, why??? When you’re going out somewhere and there’s even a small possibility you could break/lose your glasses I guess it comes in handy, but how often could that realistically happen to warrant always carrying them on you? Even in your own house!

That brings me to the actual situation of he’s literally been in his own house barely leaving it (on his own) for probably months by the time of the portal incident! There’s no reason for him to carry a spare pair of glasses around his own house! Of course there’s the possibility that he started carrying a spare pair with him some time after the Bill situation; maybe he thought that if he were to wake up somewhere dangerous without his glasses, he’d have easy access to his extra pair. But if that’s the case, he’s definitely forgetting the fact that if Bill’s plan was to break his glasses to leave him stranded somewhere without being able to see clearly, he would also know about the spare pair and break those just as well! So technically speaking that would be a worse idea than to simply keep them somewhere specific in his house! Given that he had that spare pair on him during the portal incident, that entire line of thinking didn’t cross either bill or Ford’s mind (which is the most nonsensical plot hole in an attempt to patch up a prior plot hole I’ve ever seen)

Only solid explanation here is that Ford’s just always been overly cautious for a good portion of his life. And since he never thought to take his spare glasses out of his pockets, he either never got paranoid enough about Bill’s ability to fuck him over, or knew he wouldn’t stoop to that amongst the other horrors (which, raises a whole bunch of other questions outside the scope of this rant.)

Either way, I guess his paranoia paid off. If he hadn’t been carrying that extra pair that day he’d probably be dead. So good for him I guess! Maybe I should start carrying an extra pair of glasses on my person too…

there was a blessed time where i cld listen to all the many songs abt women wanting to get dicked down and it didnt make me want to rip out all my nerves. which is such a shame u know bcs thats like 50% of songs!! and some of them have good memories attached even so i dont want to just remove them from all my playlists but god i dont want to listen to anything i want to bury myself in dirt and never look at anyone again. i think this is a sign of mental illness that i need to be on psychiatric drugs for

I wish I could tell every young person with a uterus (especially with bad cramps and/or dysphoria and/or depression, etc) that there is a decent chance they just straight up don’t need to live with that. don’t let the stigma surrounding contraceptives and the expectation that you should just ride it out and suffer win. for the love of god if there’s a chance you can lighten or even stop your period and it’s symptoms all-together, unless there’s a legit health concern, your doctor should at least make you aware of that option. I want every young person to know that “birth control” is not just for birth control and it has the potential to make your life infinitely easier to live. do not give in to anti-pill propaganda im serious

@icarianncarrionn liked this for a silly lil thing or two

"Do you wanna come with me?" He mumbled, pulling a blanket over himself as he snuggled up against a pillow in her couch. Sebastian didn't wanna go in the first place, no, Switzerland was far and cold and lonely. But he still wanted his job and he figured keeping it would involve some doing of the only thing his father had asked of him in weeks. "I know it's three days, but the client meetings won't last more than two hours a day. We can go skiing or snowboarding or something. I'm assuming Canadians come out the womb with that skillset, right?" Seb chuckled.

Alr gang, the prescription can’t just sit there anymore, I can’t contemplate any longer

There are pros and cons to both and I can’t really decide which I’d prefer so like- I need some helping deciding
