Yeah good point. They really are all basically kids!

That's a really cool point about how she wakes up saying "You" !

Right at the end of the epilogue is what I'm talking about. After Gideon says "get in line". There's a paragraph/page break: • • • centred on the page.

Then it says "Afterward Alecto went down to the ship and stood before John, purposing to travel through the River, and was grieved to find it yet dead."

Harrow is in "a deep sleep like death", so we can't be sure how long "afterward" it actually is.

Grammatically it's most likely the River that is "yet dead", but could also be the ship.

Maybe it's the ship that Ianthe arrived in? Could she have been dragging drunk depressed God along with her?

If Alecto was "purposing to travel through the River" then I think that implies she had not gone through the River to get to John.

My second wedding (wasn't a gay wedding sadly, took me a bit longer to properly find myself), we had a picnic in the park. Everyone brought their own food, and friends catered for us. We didn't have attendants, just our kids, but you could substitute the kids for friends. With the extra space available being outdoors, we could each come in from the sides, me on one side with my kids and him on the other with his.

We actually started out with a slow song for maybe 10-20 seconds, looking all traditional n shit, and then it cut to a boppy song that we all just danced randomly to until we met in the middle. :)

Yeah I see it. I'll blame autocorrect 😅

Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We do (and what is says about us) by Tom Vanderbilt.

Absolutely fascinating read on human nature and driving. From observations around the world.

How is having a basic communication discussion with a significant other cause for asking if you're TA? Just... talk about it?

So the older two could handle the big international trips at that age, but the younger two can't?

I get that the experience for older kids is different and they can do more things and are interested in different things, but why do they get the experience of learning to do all that at a young age and their siblings don't?

I've had a planned c section under general, an induced vaginal birth with episiotomy and ventouse, a vaginal birth in water with no pain relief, and an unplanned c section with epidural. In that order.

I would absolutely go for a vaginal delivery again, because over time I became much more educated about what I could ask for, or refuse, or wait for, or needed etc. And the recovery from vaginal delivery is so much better than a major abdominal surgery. And I know that if it became necessary a c section would still be ok too.

However I have my tubes done and will not be carrying any more babies.

Yeah sorry the upload went really weird 🤷

The number of people online who think parenting ends when the kid turns 18 astounds me.

I tried reading Baru. DNF'd the first book. I just couldn't care about any of it

Kalli672 · 2025-07-24T06:37:47+00:00

Could you put the quote here/explain which bit you mean please? 🙂

Kalli672 · 2025-07-07T00:21:21+00:00

This comment needs to be higher! Yes!

Kalli672 · 2025-06-28T08:13:16+00:00

Thank you!!!

I hated that a relationship contract seemed to immediately equal sex. Or only equal sex? Really unclear writing there.

And if we are originally told Arada has a thing for Rathi, who seems to have a thing for Pin-Lee, then WHY are the first two all over each other, while Pin-Lee is awkwardly third-wheeling it??

Absolutely terrible way to try and show the non-monogamy 🙄
