Ok but the lighter parts of the statues in the tactile room where blind people touch them the most often, that's where they made the art better

which is definitely not an omen

This is where Brexit Britain has gotten us. Can't even have a proper apocalypse now.

FOUR horses? In THIS economy?

@thebibliosphere I had to repost this for both of us because OOF

That is depressingly relatable. I hate how common this is.

No "other" option. If you don't like multi POV books, please keep scrolling!

Had a 'fun' new experience today in the form of my first ever mammogram because I found a lump on my chest a few weeks ago, and when you find a lump, you get that shit checked out.

Ironically, the lump I went to get investigated turned out to be nothing, likely just a cyst that made its way to the surface, but they did find something else on the scan that requires me to do a follow-up ultrasound in six months. The doctor stressed that it is most likely a fibroid, but given my family history of breast cancer and general weird health fuckery, they're being vigilant and keeping an eye on it.

The mammogram itself was fine. The technician doing it kept complimenting me on the "pliable" nature of my breast tissue and how easy it was to smoosh me into the machine. I was like thanks, I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome; my body is basically made of only slightly more reinforced laffy taffy.

She said, "That explains that," and then proceeded to smush my tits into a pancake. Apparently, they were the most compliant tits she's worked with. I said thank you because what else can you do in that situation. And then she asked me if I wanted to know how much they weighed, and I said boy, do I?!

So she started reading off the results and was like, "17.7 lbs," and I was like, gosh, no wonder they feel so heavy, and then she kept talking and said, "And the other one weighs..."

And that's when I realized she didn't mean total.

She meant one boob was 17.7lbs.

So in case you've ever wanted to know, my right boob weighs 17.7 lbs, and my left one weighs 17.3 lbs, bringing the grand weight hanging off my chest to an even 35 lbs.

The tech was like "gosh! That's a lot for someone of your size!" and I was like "ya fucking think?!"

For a frame of reference, I weigh 136 lbs total. One-quarter of my weight is tits.

I am one-quarter titty.

And I'm telling that to the next doctor who suggests I lose weight.

Anyway. Remember to do regular breast exams, and don't be afraid of mammograms. Yes, they're checking for cancer, but they also tell you fun things like how much your chest weighs and whether or not your boobs are compliant.

#one quarter titty????#that’s so much titty!#I hope you have good back support cause dear god

My back is fucking dying lmao. My shoulders dislocate constantly and this is probably a major contributing factor.

I'm actually considering getting a custom corset made now because I feel like that's something you should do when one entire quarter of your weight is in your boobs.

I'd also like to point out that the tech said my boobs had "hidden depths."

Like she thought she was done scooping breast tissue into the clamp, and then she'd find more. Like pulling an endless handkerchief out of a sleeve or like some sort of boob-based clown car.

I feel like my connective tissue is akin to the birthday cake in Sleeping Beauty, where the whole thing is undercooked and ready to slide onto the floor at any moment, and I'm just constantly putting the candles (my health) back on top.

Also, someone in the notes pointed out that the machine could be wrong because they have large boobs and were told they weighed nowhere near that, so I'm off to do unspeakable things to my kitchen scales.

Kitchen scales keep giving me an error notification (can't imagine why 😂), so I will ask the clinic to weigh them again at my six-month checkup to confirm whether or not I am, in fact, one-quarter titty.

I know you'll all be waiting with bated breath for the results.

STOP PRESS

I just got a new result in my mychart, and the weight was in KILOS, not POUNDS, and the tech missed a very important decimal point.

My tits are roughly 1.7 KILOS each, which is just under 4 lbs each.

Which I think we can all agree is a substantial difference 😂😂😂

I'm now kinda mad I wasn't going in for a reduction because I could have brought it up at my next appointment about the importance of checking your measurements twice so you only have to cut once.

Anway. Mystery solved. Alas, I am not one-quarter titty; I am a mere 6%.

A 6% with hidden and compliant depths.

I was reading this and the whole time my brain was going

Glad to hear you got the units worked out 😂

Honestly, same!

I was shocked in the room, but I was also like.... this person handles and scans breasts all day using a fancy dedicated breast scanning machine that is doing something very clever to tell her the numbers, so... maybe??? I guess????? What the fuck????

It didn't even occur to me that a US machine would use kilos until I saw the results in the mychart 😅

Either way those are NOT small titties. I wish to emphasize they are in fact large and heavy. The average C cup boob is around 1 lbs. You have four of those in ONE BOOB.

If you're less than 5'6" you are, by definition, short and stacked.

I'm 5'2 and packing EE/FF cups (depending on the brand) on a 34-inch ribcage.

I am indeed short and stacked and afflicted with moderate to severe back pain 😅

No, you know what, everyone be nice to Liam Hemsworth. He's not the step Geralt, he's the Geralt who stepped up.

using wizard magic beneath the full moon to charge my blood oxygen and make my heart rate normal………..

Sorry but blood magic is actually warlock magic, not wizard magic. We all know you have a patron giving you magic now.

smh y’all just hate to see he/him lesbians in STEM

I don't know what tenth circle of hell my YouTube algorithm fell into, but I really wish it would stop showing me videos of 5 a.m. morning writing routines.

"Are YOU part of the highly productive 5 a.m. writers club?"

Does it count if you didn't go to bed the night before?

Like, I get it, writers often have day jobs -- if not multiple day jobs -- to make ends meet, and you need to grab every available moment to write where you can.

But I really don't like how a lot of these videos are presented.

It smacks of hustle culture, especially when it's phrased as this neat hack to unlock "extra hours in the day," as though you're not depriving yourself of sleep to make it happen.

Idk. Maybe it's being a crippled, burned-out bitch making me jealous of their energy, but I can't help but worry that the people making these videos are going to wake up one day and realize they've harmed themselves through exhaustion for minimal gain.

Like, sure, write when the creative flow is best for you, but don't 'One Neat Trick, Doctor's Hate This Woman' your audience by selling sleep deprivation as a productivity hack to them. We get enough of that in every aspect of our waking lives. We don't need it from fellow creatives.
