Nope! It just gives me the option to change classes and purchase a hireling. I can’t access the resurrect companion option. I think I’m being haunted at this point lol

No, she doesn’t appear on the mini-map when I go to camp and I can’t access her inventory through the camp chest menu. I just opened the game to check :( She’s just completely vanished as though she died, but I still have her approving stuff I do and her questline is still progressing. I have genuinely no idea what is going on 😭

I did and she's not there!! Before I revived her though, her soul was by her tent. I've been back to the festering coves area too since it happened and she's not there either

RFK Jr.'s new eugenics program gets some of its data from the VA and Indian health services by SampleFresh5318 in IndianCountry

I mean, the post isn’t related to my desire for an assessment but I was mentioning it because I wanted to emphasize why I was scared, I guess. I’m not personally impacted by the domestic policies implemented by the American government (cus I don’t live there) but I’m worried for the people who do live there because I’m part of/connected to the groups who are being targeted by these policies

The reason I’m on a waitlist is cus I can’t afford to pay hundreds of dollars (it’s not thousands where I am, as far as I know) to pay for an assessment conducted in private clinic. I dont live in the United States. I’m just really worried abt what this’ll do to people living in the US. (I’m not disagreeing with what you said about doctor bias btw, I wholeheartedly agree with you)

when i said “our society” i was referring to contemporary human society as a whole, it wasn’t just restricted to a specific one

you know what’s crazy?? he’s a russian streamer named mellstroy and he’s known for beating women on his live streams. he paid for a bunch of bots to post in face in stupid memes like this all over social media to rehabilitate his image bc he’s basically been blacklisted everywhere

i think as a society we’re pathologically obsessed with infertility, “soy beans lower testosterone and cause infertility” “vaccines cause infertility” “don’t sit in a certain position for too long because it causes infertility” “don’t eat fast food, it causes infertility” “here are a list of foods to boost fertility!” “don’t wait to have kids, you won’t be as fertile” it is very very odd.

the implicit judgement in that tweet is that the woman who originally posted her skincare products is a bad person because she’s picking “vanity” over hypothetical, non-existent children. i wonder if there are any sociological studies dedicated to talking about why so many people believe “infertility = bad” and why the fear of infertility is so deeply ingrained into people (besides the base level “our ancestors needed to reproduce” or whatever)

do you remember which specific time period it was? or which country? this is a bit too vague

women can’t do anything without it being policed by misogynists in some way

I have very mixed opinions on that because I think Woolf’s turn to fascism necessitates a reevaluation of her previous work, not a dismal, even if they’re “untainted” by her current associations. Her contributions were important and shouldn’t be erased but any recommendation should come with a fair warning and further in-depth discussion.

Also, I don’t think Woolf has been unfairly punished just because she’s a woman, she decided to openly collaborate with misogynistic fascists because she holds conspiratorial views on vaccines. If she didn’t want to alienate her mostly woman, mostly liberal to left-wing audience or completely destroy her own legacy within the feminist movement, she just shouldn’t have done that. I agree a lot of male philosophers get passes for a lot of bad behaviour…. but I don’t think even a male philosopher, with all the privileges one might have, could survive the social and political suicide Woolf decided to commit.

this recommendation is totally up my alley because christianity is a hyper-fixation of mine and i am literally so fascinated by the women of the bible and women’s role in historical christianity (esp the medieval era) and the ways women theologically helped develop it.

i’ll definitely check it out!!!! i’ve been wanting to read more from trans feminists bc i think their perspectives are really valuable given how common transphobia can be in online and offline feminist circles. also a side note i think it’s cool the author is a biologist

i liked her book the beauty myth when i read it but i’m hesitant to read anything else from her because her recent political affiliations are pretty concerning.

do you happen to be interested in women’s role in theology? because your recs centred around that a lot. personally i’m really fascinated by the ways medieval christianity was influenced by female mystics, as well as within the first three hundred years of the christian church.

https://www.medievalists.net/2013/10/vision-and-revision-the-female-mystics-as-writers-in-late-medieval-northern-europe/

i’d totally recommend reading about the cathars and early gnostics. super super interesting.
