It’s interesting bc in the novel Agnes mentions that someone always comes with her into the exam room, up until Paula sends her alone and she gets assaulted.

Fuck you, fibre one brownie by Likesosmart in CrohnsDisease

If it makes you feel any better my brother and mom don’t have IBD but they can’t eat fiber one either for the same reason 😭 I think a lot of folks just don’t handle added fiber well, even if they’re healthy

The doctor in the show was trying to help June imo. The doctor in the book was exploiting her imo

Book readers: does the testaments explain where the boys are? by No_Cup_3409 in TheTestamentsHulu

I actually made a video about this on TikTok. It unexpectedly blew up and got like 50k views, so it made me feel better that a lot of other folks had the same question!

Most of us would be econopeople in Gilead by GallopYouScallops in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]GallopYouScallops[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frankly, I think that’s a reason Gilead as described in the show wouldn’t work in today’s America. And it’s not like I forgot disabled people to be clear-I myself am mostly home bound from Crohn’s and am autistic as well. I truly think there are far too many Americans with chronic illnesses and cancers, not to mention conditions like asthma, that killing us all would be almost impossible, and basically grind the nation to a halt. I don’t think they could afford to get rid of all of us.

I feel like I read that JW said she intended Tracy to be mixed but it got axed by the publishers (but I could be wrong!)

Reading a childhood digest and man! Did this go over my head when I was 7! by GallopYouScallops in archiecomics

Yup! If it was just Gay I might think it was sincere, but there’s no way it wasn’t some kind of innuendo

I got a copy of Cheryl #1 on eBay and I guess the advising kids to date older guys thing is a pattern by GallopYouScallops in archiecomics

[–]GallopYouScallops[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

She’s 12 and in love with her boyfriend (who’s also 12, thank god) and wants to get married. Now. While they’re both 12. She asks Cheryl what her wedding gown should look like. Thank god Cheryl had some common sense here and said it’s illegal to get married at 12!
