wanting to kiss someone is just. like. what do you mean i am experiencing something akin to hunger? what do you mean i can feel this as an actual tactile ache? it is not "i want" like "i want a bike," it is "i want" like i am found wanting. you can want it so much you can force your own pupils to dilate. i'm seasick about it. this is a thing we evolved. this is something that we can physically crave.

Honestly surprised to see the disinformation and scaremongering around Pap smears. Just to be clear:

-It is a screening for cervical cancer, precancerous cells, and cell abnormalities. It involves a small cotton swab around the cervix and in the center of the cervix. There is no penetration of the cervix.

-In order to access the cervix, a speculum is used. You are within your rights to ask for: a child size speculum, lube, and warming. My doctor has a lube warmer for this purpose.

-Some OBGYNs will do some level of sedation if you are truly scared or unable to handle this.

-Cervical cancer can be caused by HPV or not caused by HPV. Virgins can get cervical cancer.

-You can get HPV from sex with men or sex with women. Lesbians are not immune.

-If cancer is caught at the precancerous level, it is treated with an outpatient LEEP procedure, which removes part of the cervix. If it is caught when symptoms arise, you may lose your entire cervix, your reproductive organs, your ability to orgasm, or your life.

-If you have never seen someone go through cancer, count your lucky stars.

Take painkillers before you go

[sickscientist]

in my country, healthcare professionals are not allowed to use lube or provide sedation. please communicate with your provider about your anxieties and they will try their best to make you feel safe to continue the exam

"Oh lol I can't write fic the AO3 curse will get me-"

Stop talking. Look at me. Look at me and listen.

Life is a never ending string of tragedies and delights. You will not be saved by making yourself less noticable.

Write your fic, post it. Enjoy the creative process. Enjoy the fandom. The bad things would have happened anyway, at least now you have the AO3 kudos emails to look forward to.

This is *extremely* true.

The curtains were blue because everything in the room was carefully colour coordinated, reinforcing the character’s stylish and controlled characterisation. The curtains were blue because everything in the room was a different colour, reinforcing the character’s eclectic and globe-trotting personality. The curtains were blue because the character is elsewhere established to hate the colour blue, subtextually implying that their deceased spouse was responsible for that decoration choice.

The curtains were blue because throughout their filmography the director consistently uses cool tones to mark moments of distance between characters. The curtains were blue to tie the events in that room into the broader oceanic motif of this particular novel. The curtains were blue because the assonance evoked a contrast with the following stanza of the poem.

Even the curtains looked expensive: floor to ceiling velvet drapes, in a flawless royal blue. She tucked the saucer up on the windowsill and tied back faded blue curtains with a loop of string. The narrow blinds were the same navy blue as the pinstripe suit of the man who served eviction notice that sent them to this office.

The curtains were blue because the author’s childhood home had blue curtains, which they discussed in their letters related to their feelings of comfort in that place. The curtains were blue because the author’s childhood home had blue curtains, which they discussed in their letters related to their feelings of grief in that place.

The curtains were blue as an allusion to the contemporary joke about literary criticism, an extension of the author’s autocritical approach that will be further discussed in section seven.

The curtains were red, as a pun on;

The curtains were read.

there's something wrong with the rabbits

i feel like a caged animal. switching between a state of overstimulation to complete apathy and dissociation. this sucks so much. im going crazy. i really need to go back to school or i'll actually go insane. can time pass faster? 7 days feel like an eternity. even though im nervous about coming back, it feels better to be anxious about people around me than rot away in my bed.

[sickscientist]

things are better now. i spend all day at school and have little to no time to worry about anything. but exams and discussions
