to get rid of it.
if you're interested in the Colorful support post i made regarding this, its under the cut. i'm livid.
if i were a respected british actor with any principles at all i would simply not agree to a project whose earnings will have material consequences for trans people but maybe i'm built differently
Omg this looks like some sort of Fairytale Horror; like, a town with trees that have missing pets or people etched into them- coming off naturally enough to be dismissed as bark/tree discolouration

Enter directly into a light and delightful living room.
It's much bigger than it looks, b/c a piano fits with room to spare. Love the original doors and wainscoting.
Details of the stone fireplace.
You can see how large the dining room is.
It also has wainscoting and a lovely fireplace.
And, look at this wall. It has a built-in cupboard. That's different.
The kitchen is so cute. This is the other side of the cabinet in the dining room. I wonder if they painted over glass doors, I think that you can see the dining room thru it.
Such, a bright kitchen.
This room could be a family room, den, or extra bedroom.
Cute updated vintage bath.
Across the hall there's a large primary bedroom. It has a fireplace and wainscoting.
And, look at the great big sunporch.
There's a nice large parking area on the side of the house.
A little path to the back yard.
Nice large yard with a large garden shed. 0.52 acre lot.
there's one big downside to writing the stories you want to read that no one tells you about. :/
and it's that you're going to find yourself rereading until 6am bc you just can't put the story down, and you'll get only one hour of sleep before going thru the day with one eye throbbing bc of a headache.
The tide whale is so rarely documented due to how often it is mistaken for a rogue wave. They are relatively small, about the size of a dolphin. The only recounts of their songs have been from drowning survivors; described as a series of water droplets echoing off the well of a deep cavern.
Beef Lo Mein
My beef lo mein is a quick Chinese noodle dinner with tender beef, thick lo mein noodles, and crisp vegetables in a savory sauce. I sear the beef first, toss everything together in one pan, and have it ready to serve to my family in 30 minutes.
The worst-sounding piece of advice I've ever been given that does actually work is to frame your health concerns as coming from someone close to you, whom you do not believe. Tell your doctor that you've been having pain and your mom/friend/partner thinks it might be an ovarian cyst, but you don't think so because the pain is much more intense and it has to be something else. This gives your doctor an unseen third party to fight instead of you. They can't just tell this third party, who isn't present, that you pulled a muscle, they now need to prove to this third party that it is not an ovarian cyst.
At which point they will find an ovarian cyst, but they now get whatever fucked up satisfaction they derive out of proving you wrong, because you didn't believe it could a cyst at all, but guess what? They did find a cyst! It's such a good thing you didn't listen to your intuition and came to them to verify your lay diagnosis from that third party! Bonus? Doctor doesn't have to feel like they look stupid in front of a patient, which is really what all this is about. Not your health, why would you think your medical diagnosis is about your health? It's obviously about a doctor's potential ego.
And apparently this works. Apparently you just need to be able to always play 4D chess with your medical professionals in order to find an avenue of advocating for yourself and getting you medical needs met. Isn't that great?
If you have multiple specialists or move around a lot, you can also say 'one of my doctors mentioned X to me but I can't remember who and I never had it investigated'. Doctors love to one-up each other. Worst case you get dismissed and don't have to lie next time you pull this on a different doctor and best case they do investigate.
