Yeah, 100% the vibe was wrong at the start of that show. They started figuring it out over season 2 but... yeah, too late to save it from cancellation.

I hope they can give some resolution to that narrative in the new show, somehow.

Mind you, I enjoyed The Expanse, but I didn't like the idea of that style going onto Stargate, which should be more up-beat and optimistic.

And oh boy, annealing and cooling takes *forever*

But it's OK, it's all a learning experience. And we love him all the same.

His name is Sven, because we made him on our seventh anniversary 😅🐸

We picked really nice colors for each, mixed them up, aaaand then they both just look like a really dark green - I forgot you're supposed to mix in clear, too, if you want it transparent 🙃😅

Mind you, I will be thrilled to leave this med behind if I can because a) needlephobe, and b) it is the most painful injectable I've used.

Apparently it's some binder they used in older injectable meds that hurts like hell for a subset of people.

I *am* supposed to be looking into switching off of this injectable and onto a comparable oral med in the same class, but I imagine whatever copay card that has will get nerfed soon, too. Because profit is more important than patient health.

Like, let me be super clear.

The ADL is NOT the voice for the entire diaspora for fuck's sake. The ADL does NOT speak for all Jews. Arguably for any Jews as they've chosen the alt right that would like us to all go to Israel and die to kickstart the rapture over...Speaking up about antisemitism.

Current leadership at the ADL will ignore Palestinians dying, and create lies about the genocide, that will tend towards being racist and Islamophobic if nothing else.

The current ADL also hates any Jewish people who disagree with them on any of this. Of which there are many.

Temp tattoo of said frog... isn't he dumb and wonderful?

Really, I just want everyone to be safe and healthy, and to be able to have my partner's dumb frog doodle on my arm 🐸🫤

...and waiting has, uh, not helped my brain chill. (I'm a needle-phobe, despite all the medical shit I go through)

Maybe at least this will get the shop to go back to kn95s instead of the surgicals they switched to at some point?

(they did offer to wear any mask I brought, but still)

So... mur

On the other hand... I was trying to schedule this for the lull before Thanksgiving and the winter Covid/flu/etc surges happen. But now it's all in limbo, and I guess I'll have to wait for spring? 🙁

Also, I wanted to just get it done so I could get past the anxiety of getting my first tattoo...

Apparently they can't sit without excruciating pain, and have muscle/coordination issues. Sounds super scary, and I wish we had a government that cared about helping people with long-Covid/preventing Covid in the first place. But alas.
