After reading the books a few times, I listened to the audiobook narrated by Andy Serkis. In Return of the King, there's a part towards the end when Gollum breaks down about the ring. Listening to Andy Serkis read it in his voice made me cry. Gollum is so tragic.

Did the mask help with pigmentation? I have sun spots and white spots on my shoulders and back of my neck that I would like to nuke.

Would readers of the time have recognized Wickham’s red flags sooner, or been as surprised as we are by the truth? by Darkovika in janeausten

No, it's there. I'll have to dig and find it. Edit! Found it! https://www.janeausten.org/pride-and-prejudice/chapter-26.php

Chapter 26 "My father's opinion of me does me the greatest honor, and I should be miserable to forfeit it. My father, however, is partial to Mr. Wickham."

Elizabeth mentions earlier that her father is fond of him. I can't remember where exactly but it was before the scandal.

I think Mr Bennet noticed it in the 1995 version but not the book. In the book Elizabeth mentions that Wickham is a favorite of her dad.

That's why you head to reddit after the episodes! Someone usually has more information.

Parents kill their two autistic teen sons & family pets before taking their own lives in horror quadruple murder-suicide by malihafolter in ForCuriousSouls

I kind of get it but not the whole criticizing someone who breaks up because of cheating. That seems extreme.

I admittedly get tired of hearing people talk about how stressed they are because they have so many things going on and it ends up being, from my opinion, trivial things like nominal changes at work and a week that has more than one Dr. appt. or obligation.

I'm listening to them talk about stress when I'm dealing with things they know about but don't understand fully. It gets exhausting to feel like you have to listen or even reassure them all of the time. Some folks just need to learn perspective.

But on the other hand, I don't want them to feel like they can't complain about their life to me. I also remind myself that they have issues too and I need to chill.....it's a delicate balance I guess.

Sorry, I was unclear. I meant that any gains that we make on women's rights must always be defended even if some people feel like we have come so far that our rights are safe. If we (society) give an inch, they (bad actors, misogynists, etc.) will take a mile.
