Have you looked into some of the darker bits from the Epstein/Trump files? Coded language, but it appears to be in there. So if nothing else, she’s probably had conversation with someone in the know prior to the recent releases.

There’s no way they wouldn’t take the opportunity to put a woman in last position to catch the most shit.

Ever seen Death Becomes Her?

Injecting shit into your face and surgeries tend to leave people lumpy after a while.

Working in hospice, I regularly come across patients/family members who actively seem to avoid anything that could potentially challenge their beliefs.

Step one, vote orange because R. Step two, remove anyone or anything from your life that makes you uncomfortable or requires reflection. Step three, exist comfortably with your head in the sand while the rest of the world burns.

I once worked at a place that offered three vacation days per year. The only catch was, to use your paid days you had to work a separate shift for each day you took off. So ultimately if you wanted to have 3 days off, the week before and the week after you might not get a day off because of the extra shifts you had to work. Just how is that taking time for yourself again?

I would actively boycott any product advertised to me at the pump in the rain, cold, etc

Growing up Gen X in the midst of the Satanic Panic, this game potentially becomes everything we were warned the world would become if you listened to rock music lol.

That said, my boyfriend and I made our entire cult out of cats.

The way it was explained to me -

I’m walking on the roof of a building, carrying my baby. I get the intrusive thought to yeet the baby over the edge. Result - I recognize the horrible thought, causing me to hold the baby tighter and remove us from the roof, thus keeping us both safer.

I’m cooling down after exercising and started to follow these steps while I relax and catch my breath.

I read testicle.

My ovaries flinched.

They’re easy reads. Meyer had some interesting ideas and inspirations to write a story, but the depth and quality isn’t quite there. She’s even commented that looking back at the earlier books made her cringe. The other place she suffered is that when publishers got their hands on the first book, she explained she just wanted one follow up book, but they talked her into stretching the story into 4 because they felt it was going to be a hit.

It’s an easy comfort read that doesn’t ask you to look for deeper meanings in the story, it’s all right there for you.

spoiler alert

Within the Twilight world, some humans have special abilities which are highlighted and enhanced if they become vampires. He couldn’t read Bella’s thoughts, but that’s because after she becomes a vampire they figure out she has a “shield” power which makes her immune to vampires with powers to effect the mind.

She had thoughts, he was just blocked from reading them.

Trauma? Stress? Hormones? Illness? Any chance for a diagnosis? I’m sorry you’re going through this.
