See, it was just working for me, I could see them if I refreshed, but now I'm getting just a flash of it and then nothing. It's a really weird and inconsistent bug...

It's on and off. Right now it's working for me. Edit: And refreshing helps when it doesn't. Still a bit annoying, though.

This appears to still be a thing... And yeah, it's happening with story headers, too.

In Neil Gaiman's Sandman universe, people end up where they expect to end up. If you think you've sinned and you believe in heaven and hell, you go to hell. If you believe in reincarnation, you will be reincarnated. If you believe in ancient Egyptian gods, Anubis weighs your heart against a feather on a set of scales. And so on. So all of these things are constructs of human imagination, and that makes them real. I like that thought. Since we're all sharing, I was raised Eastern Orthodox, but by a parent who's very liberal and doesn't believe that God would judge anyone for loving other people. The church she attends has a gay deacon. It's strange and sad that some people interpret scripture through a lens of hate, while others do so through love. Still, I do think my mother struggles with me 'rejecting the way God made me' by being transmasc. Everyone has limits, I guess. I'm personally agnostic. Hehe, we're turning your comment section into a theological discussion, tim.

This reminds me of many other stories about the devil, the idea of the fallen angel Lucifer who was God's favoured son before being cast out. A devil who's not evil, but who's been manipulated by a callous father to serve a purpose in punishing the wicked. There are so many interesting theories and ideas out there on this subject. Yours is one I've never heard of or considered before.

Thank you for taking the time to read it. Yeah, love can be tricky, and not just the romantic kind either. I'm glad you enjoyed my poem. ❤️

Thank you. Hehe, my ham-fisted attempt at an oxymoron. And I've always been skeptical of forever... Feels kind of like a jinx, you know?

The heart wants what the heart wants, that's for sure. Thank you.

it means rainbows sunshine after the storm has passed it also means the storm weather it, i promise it won’t last it means starry skies and moon bright nights and also blizzards, snowstorms fairy lights it means falling endlessly but still hitting the ground it means swimming for your life when no dry land can be found it means light and dark, night and day it means boiling sleet and freezing rain it means always and it me

This was really interesting and different. You've given me a lot to think about... Thank you.

I'm lactose intolerant. I do have friends who are allergic to milk protein, but they all have severe gastro-intestinal symptoms similar to celiac disease. I don't. (The throwing up is because of phlegm and cough, often it's just dry-heaving.) Not gonna rule anything out before talking to my doctor, though. My GP is anything but dismissive. She's a wonderful human who really takes care of her patients. Which would be why she's so popular and why I still go to her even though I don't live anywhere near her practice anymore. She'll take me seriously.

Morning, DiC! Hope you all have a good day. I have to drag my ass to choir practice tonight, as we have a gig tomorrow and I've got a solo. I epically don't want to, I still feel very ill (though I'm marginally better), but them's the breaks. Take care, all!

It’s not gluten. Often, things like bread, salted biscuits and so on are the only things I can eat without feeling sick, so... I’m going next Tuesday. I talked to my mum today, and she and my aunt both have this thyroid thing. I got tested for it a few years back, but might be worth testing again. So gonna start by asking my doctor about that.

Beautiful words as ever. The last one is all too familiar... Words have been escaping me a lot lately as well. Thank you for sharing!

Hi, DiC! Hope you’re all well. Stay safe, @Fae Briona!

Bedtime for this guy. Night, DiC! Take care of yourselves and each other.

Oh, there’s no doubt about that, bro. No doubt at all. People will love it.

Well, you don’t need me to tell you how much I love this. But I’m gonna anyway, cause I’m just that good of a friend. This is such a beautiful, heart wrenching, fantastic story and I’m so glad you’re finally sharing it with the world! ❤️

Hope it doesn’t get too bad. Stay safe! 💚

Not much, tbh, but I’m muddling through. How about you?

Morning, DiC! Hope you're all well. Have a great day!

Happy Birthday, belatedly!

I don't think that's it... I just get these coughs. Takes a bit of it before anything actually comes up. But it's worth checking out. Thanks. I'm sorry you get sick, too.

Hi, Def! Good to see you! Goodnight, DiC. I’ve swallowed half a pharmacy and am gonna try to get some sleep. Take care, all! ❤️

Wow. That's crazy. I've never seen weather like that first hand.
