Need a little help to pay for some dental work.
I unexpectedly need to have some serious dental work done. Unfortunately, since I ended up having to put some of my top surgery last year on credit, I can't apply for any other credit to cover things at this time.
Like many, I do not do well at the dentist and now that has collided with my lack of selfcare in my late teens and twenties due to depression. Due to some past issues, and the fact laughing gas doesn't work on me at all, I require full sedation dentistry. I have enough money to cover the three most important things I need done, and the sedation, but since I am going under I would like to take advantage of that and get as much of the other issues taken care of as possible. The goal is a little arbitrary here, but basically, every ~$450 I raise will allow me to get one more tooth taken care of.
It is $150 for every additional 15 minutes of sedation beyond the amount required for the three most important things (an extraction and two fillings), then roughly $250-$350 per additional tooth. I would like to cover at least my four molars that have problems, since the back of my mouth being worked on makes me more uncomfortable than the front so I think I can handle the front without full sedation. But if I can raise more than needed for those four, I will get more done.
Thank you so, so much to everyone who donates!

Katy is a longtime friend and an excellent author, and this is a pretty serious medical emergency. Anything will help, and you can get some kickass books in return!
Care to rest your spoons on a horseshoe crab's underside?
Surely everyone wants to, right?
New and returning colors of these spoon rests are available here!
It's still so strange to me how apparently taboo it is to like a post on someone's Instagram from a month ago when there are posts still circulating on Tumblr from 1550 BCE
If he didn't want it circulating in 2022 he should have sold better copper
If he didn't want it circulating in 2026 he should have sold better copper

ALTMy account is still blocked from searching/tags/etc on my business blog @foundfamilyadventurecrafts so I'm posting this here. There's something very bad happening with Small Business, Tech, and Amazon. What else is new?

Hey, that's us and a bunch of our friends! This whole thing SUCKS so bad and we're pissed. We've intentionally not listed our products on Amazon for the 15 years we've been in business. We're ready to join a class action lawsuit and kick some ass.
Friday makes really good tea, both just by the flavors and as reflections of fandoms. I absolutely LOVE my Second Breakfast (hobbits) and General's Jasmine (Uncle Iroh).
Go check out the Friday Afternoon Tea website DIRECTLY if you want to support them - and if you, unlike me, are in Seattle, go visit the brick-and-mortar store!
And boycott Amazon.

Watching movies with small children is an EXPERIENCE, like tiny human, you have NO sense of story progression
Which is to say we put on the first How to Train Your Dragon
And at the dramatic "first flight" scene, two-year-old shouted "HIM FALL" and started SOBBING. She straight up thought that movie had murdered Hiccup and Toothless halfway through. Had to get double parental hugs and a constant stream of reassurances until they figured that whole flying thing out
All movies could be horror movies if your brain hasn't equipped Plot Armor to the protagonists
Anyway five-year-old is pleased to report that he "liked the part where the big dragon exploded"
#Welcome to the action adventure genre my children#Five year old was VIBRATING through the climax like straight up legs kicking fists clenched#Had to be held by Spouse until we figured out he wasn't afraid#He was experiencing baby's first blood lust#Kid wanted that dragon DEAD and it HAPPENED and he was VIOLENTLY SATISFIED
I have a somewhat related story that I've always wanted to share.
At my old high school, one of our graduation requirements was to do 10 hours of community service. I decided I would knock out one or two of those hours reading to kids at the nearby elementary school during my free period. I brought this book here:
Which is just a collection of all the classic Disney movies adapted into book form. I ended up reading Cinderella to a group of kindergarteners.
When I got to the part where Cinderella's stepsisters ripped apart her first dress, all the children were on the edge of their seats. One little girl was on the verge of tears. Another little girl shouted in horror, "She doesn't get to go to the ball?!"
I can't even begin to tell you how tempted I was to immediately close the book and go "Yup, that's life, kid" and walk off without missing a beat.
