I like these priorities. Now to make my dining room look even MORE like a preschool, and to be PROUD of that instead of embarrassed we don’t have a basement or bigger bedrooms to hide all the toys in

The background of the care doctors took pre-1950 and the effect of thaliomide on the management on it was really interesting. Even across my 3 pregnancies I saw much more acceptance of the use of ondansetron/ zofran, which is still AFAIK an off-label use technically. The author did an excellent job of showing just how brutal HG is, that is so close to my own experience, and the social benefits of forums like this one likely saved Pumpkin and I. So many articles don’t quite hit how utterly mentally devastating and physically disabling it is.

I agree. Reading about those various “treatments” from the past made me so glad I am alive now. And I hope things keep getting better

Do not interview; notice.
The questionnaire kills warm-blooded animals. Come on! Instead: observe how they treat the waiter, how they talk about people who are absent, whether they slide their chair back when a toddler wobbles past. You are selecting a co-witness for the apocalypse. Choose for gentleness.
Friendship was never supposed to be a bilateral treaty anyway. It’s a cultic rite conducted in the ruins of the self where, briefly, the candles catch. If you insist on keeping score - “I texted last,” “I bought rounds,” “I provided crucial banter in Q4” -the bookkeepers of Hell will love you; they worship exactitude. But the rest of us are trying, in grubby, hopeless ways, to kneel before something larger that sometimes borrows a human shape.

<3 now if only I could manage to read a book!!
oh one more wonderful quote from this one, bc we deserve a treat
So here is the stupid heresy: each particular friend is an emissary. A courier for the Infinite Friend. You’ve met them. You keep meeting them. They arrive disguised as a barista who treats you like a Victorian convalescent. As the flatmate who wordlessly slides a plate of eggs under your door when your brain has become a wasp factory. As the stranger in the smoking area who tells you, in a voice like a kettle unplugging itself, the one sentence you needed to remain alive for another week. That’s not them . That’s the Infinite Friend poking a paw through the membrane of history.

That’s disturbing and also not surprising. I think I may make 2026 my year to return to 1998. I need to have a think about how I can participate less in all of this data mining and still maintain my sanity. Thank you for sharing this.
