youtube shorts is just tiktok without being on the app the amount of "i'm a [qualification] and [misinformation]" could make one turn their skin inside-out in protest. "i'm a board-certified OB-GYN & it's only been about the last hundred years that women have actually experienced menopause. We didn't live long enough to experience it" how can you be so incredibly wrong about something so integral to your practice. King of the Hittites Hattusilis III was told in 1250 BCE that his sister was too old to reproduce at age 50+. Aristotle wrote in the 4th century BCE that women stopped menstruating between ages 40 to 50, common menopause ages today still. i cannot begin to tell you how 4th century & 1250 BCE don't really count as "the last hundred years" unless that -s is doing a lot of heavy lifting. waiter waiter more misinformation laws.

Hayles explains that final look, and it wasn't to punish Lestat. It was "for help," Hayles says. "She trusts him the most out of everyone in the room even though she hates him. They're familiar with each other, so she's turning to her parent to help her." (x)

"And I was concentrating so hard on his face, and it was so sad." She understood Claudia's last look to Lestat as how any child would look to a parent in a moment of distress. "The way that she looks is like all hope is lost, like, 'Dad, I need you.'" (x)

i feel like we kinda miss the whole. catalyst for fiona and lips relationship exploding.

here's your older sister, and here's the only person you've ever been able to trust. she tells you to get out again and again and again, even though you're so afraid that the moment you turn around everything is going to fall apart. getting out, and then getting the rest of them out, is your job. that's what your supposed to do.

neither of you have been able to trust your parents and all you have is each other, and she's telling you to get out. and it's either doom everyone around you by staying, or trust her and leave.

and then, right as you're finally starting to find the rhythm of a world you've beed denied access to your whole life, it's because of her, the only person you've ever been able to trust in you entire existence, because of you leaving and trusting, that your five year old brother almost dies. he's comatose. he's covered in tubes. he might never be the same again. the only person you've ever trusted has done the exact same thing your parents did. Put drugs and alcohol and letting loose above the kids their supposed to take care of.

Is it any wonder Lip stops trusting her. That Lip takes the longest to forgive her. "it wasn't her coke she didn't leave it out" she got high around a toddler and left him near the cocaine. left the cocaine where he could get it. the two other adults picked him up and danced with him with coke on the table. Lip walks in on this after spending an entire day trying to rescue their other brother. His little sister is the one who finds their baby brother.

even discounting that in response to this he has to suddenly start stealing food or else all the kids in the house will starve, or that Fiona suddenly jackrabbits into another person he has to care for instead of someone he can trust, or that he now has to care for a 4 year old, while working a job, and being a full time college student on work study, discounting all of that of course Lip looses faith in his sister. Of course he does.

Yadda yadda yadda jinx is generally seen as a loose canon, does whatever she wants type of character, totally unpredictable. When in actuality, up until the last few episodes all of her choices and actions r motivated by wanting to please someone else. Hell. Even in the last couple episodes, the very Last thing we see her doing is ENTIRELY MOTIVATED by devotion and love and grief for silco, she’s taking out her frustration at herself and the world, and also honoring his wishes and dreams. By shooting a fucking bomb at piltover, she’s ensuring his life wasn’t in vain, she’s honoring him. In that moment

Her entire, self!!! is centered around love and loyalty. Is centered around other people, She’s motivated by an insatiable urge to prove herself, to be useful to those she loves, to show that she can help them and be there for them and be WORTHY of there love. That they haven’t made a mistake in loving her. To prove that she can be as pivotal to them as they r for her. She goes to the ends of the fucking earth to do this. And it ends. Terribly.

She puts the people she loves on pedestals and supplicates at there feet, she has no motivations most of the show outside of making the people she loves happy… she yearns for connection and love and safety. For a home that will never leave her behind, or crumble under her feet, (an indestructible home, That she can’t destroy just by being her…)

Which is why.. it’s so. Interesting and intriguing. How now, she has no one on that pedestal to worship, no one to drag sacrifices and offerings to the feet of, no one to spiral around and build herself off of. She is a person so *affected* by her relationships w others, but there is no relationship now, no one is stepping up to the plate to love her. She’s too much. For anyone. The one person who seemed to have unlimited patience for her is dead, because of her. and maybe vi could still love her.. but. She’s already soured that relationship. Already broken that one too. Broken all her favorite toys that made her so happy. That were there for her. And scared all the rest away. (There is a limit to what vi can support and forgive to reconnect w her sister. And I believe terrorism is crossing that limit ghgh)

And maybe, jinx is cutting that part of herself out on purpose. To be stronger, she’s realized she just. Isn’t made for love. That she ruins it all in the end. That it just makes everything worse. Messier. More complicated. She’s better off on her own, but for what PURPOSE! Who will she be now! What choices will she make!?! Almost all of her actions in the show were for others, what is driving her now, now that she has this gaping void at the center of her being. Where love used to be… what kind of person will she become, Without a guide to follow… a sun to orbit around. it’s sad honestly ghghg-!!! like yeah it’s not healthy that she is this way but there’s no THERAPY IN ARCANE. THIS IS THE WAY SHE IS! And now. She’s alone… it’s rough. But also intriguing…!! And I honestly have no clue how she’s gonna act in season 2,,, or what sorta shit she’s gonna get up to. but I’m excited.

if you give anyone the option between "be in severe pain every day for the rest of your life" or "have less pain but have to take these pills every single day for the rest of your life" the vast majority of people will pick the latter option. for some reason doctors are convinced it's better to suffer than to be addicted to something, but prolonged suffering just leads people to seek pain relief from unsafe sources rather than safe ones, and then be punished for it. i'd rather be on opiates i got at a safe and legal pharmacy for the rest of my life for my pain and be technically addicted to them than suffer in pain just so i can say i'm not an addict, or have to go looking for off the market pain relief and risk getting poisoned. but still so many people refuse to listen to addicts and disabled people, which are heavily overlapping categories lol

Im eyeing up a totally gorgeous pair of Victorian Bohemian garnet earrings, which are on sale, but I'm hesitating because they are screwbacks. Do you have any idea how easy it would be to convert them to regular drop earrings? Usually I would be loathe to alter a piece of history, but in this case I suspect they may have actually been designed for pierced ears initially and converted to screwbacks in the 1920s, so I think it's okay.

Depends on the design. If they have a little loop at the top of the dangling element, you can just use jewelry pliers- or sometimes your hands -to open that up, slip it off of the screwback base, and put them on French wires from a craft or jewelry-supply store.

These could be converted at home, though you'd lose the garnets on the bases

With stud-type earrings or those that have a lot of ornate decoration on the base, it might be harder to do, or just harder to justify if you'd end up losing lots of stones.

These are screwbacks and you'd need a jeweler to do a more involved conversion on them.

The other thing about Bohemian garnets is that the style remained popular for a LONG time. Like, "I'm not entirely sure they aren't still making new pieces" long. So there are earrings that exist from the Pierced Ears Are Evil era of mainstream US and UK history (mid-1920s to 1960s), and they often look very similar to earlier styles. A few tells of later pieces that I've heard of from jewelers, but never actually been able to say are 100% certain, are to look for settings with open backs, flat-topped as opposed to rose-cut stones, and an increased use of cabochons. Again, though, take that with a grain of salt, because for every tell a jeweler has imparted to me, another jeweler has expressed skepticism. The styles changed so little that without provenance, it can be very hard to tell.

That being said...they would have done it in a heartbeat. See also: the huge numbers of pierced earrings that, as you say, got converted to screwbacks

because only Dirty Immigrants and Loose Women pierce their ears, and grandmothers from the Bad Old Days, and anyway piercing HURTS so it's PAIN FOR BEAUTY and UNFEMINIST! wear screwbacks instead! just ignore your earlobes slowly going numb; this is much more progressive :)

I will never understand the anti-ear-piercing era, and I'm so glad it ended before I was born. What a load of nonsense

Anyway, hope this helps!

smth different from my usual- i was taught this when i went to PT a couple years ago and i've never seen anything about it online. obligatory disclaimer i'm not in any way a medical professional and this wont cure your headaches, but they make mine a decent chunk more tolerable and sometimes that's all you can ask for
