There's a post going around Tumblr about how if you're post-menopausal and have bleeding, you should get it checked by your doctor. I brought some minor bleeding I'd had up in a doctor visit earlier this year, prompted by that post, and this week, after a biopsy, I found out I have cancer. It's early stage and the survival odds at 5 years are 99%. I have an oncologist appointment and we may have caught it early enough that surgery alone will be sufficient treatment (no radiation/chemo).

So that post may have saved my life and it may have made my treatment a lot easier too.

If you get into menopause and then start bleeding again, really, get your reproductive innards checked out. The life you save may be your own.

extremely awkward event when the tornado warning came through and i had to take my whole family down into the gimp basement for safety. not an easy conversation even at a normal volume

do people think this is real. do people think that their 4th-favorite tgirl blogger just blew things up with her wife and kids because she IRL turned the tornado shelter beneath the midwestern home she owns (outright) into a dungeon where she keeps a dehumanized sex slave, without accounting for redundancy in upcoming disaster scenarios. do people think this really happened

i may have wildly misinterpreted what gimp basement means. i knew someone who did actually have to shelter their parents in their basement, which they were using for elaborate BDSM, during an emergency, and i thought this was a second time i was learning about someone doing that

POST CANCELED CONDOLENCES TO YOUR FRIEND WHOSE REAL EXPERIENCE THIS WAS

my dearest friends, in this year of 2026 I wish you health, stability, good meds, and most of all..

money.

“So this fic has been abandoned but you should read it anyways because…” hold up. Have you not been reading all promising fics regardless of completion this entire time

Today I learned that an alarming number of yall are filtering fic by “completed works only” which is WILD to me because some of the best shit I ever read was incomplete. Just like how some of the best friendships fade, the best experiences end, the best partners pass away before you’re ready. Nobody wants good things to end but they do and that doesn’t make them less meaningful. And sometimes a tree must be nurtured before it can grow

Speaking as an author of epics, I've abandonned some due to a total lack of community interest and involvement (I write partially because a ship makes me a feral monster, but also because I enjoy the conversations you then have with readers about the story, about the characters, and about the interpretation of the characters). So not reading and participating in epics as they are being written is a surefire way to ensure they are never finished.

Can you watch this freaking thing for me
