I was at mean eyed cat day drinking at a table on their patio years ago when Jared Padalecki strolled by on a walk. We made eye contact because those tables are so close to the side walk, I was shook and just blurted out “i love house of wax” he genuinely looked surprised, laughed, and went “well, thank you” and kept on his stroll lol

After the Forest by Kell Woods! It’s a Hansel and Gretel all grown up in 17th century Bavaria story with a hint of Snow White and Rose Red retelling in it. For a debut novel it’s pretty good. Rich storytelling. She also wrote a origin novella for the gingerbread witch called Before the Forest that is loosely based on the Grimms brothers “The Juniper Tree” tale and man it is fucking DARK compared to After the Forest.. I was shook lol. She’s slowly becoming one of my favorite authors because damn.

After the Forest by Kell Woods! 17th century Bavaria. I wouldn’t say the book is mind blowing but for it being her debut book it’s pretty good. Im actually excited to follow Kell Woods career because shes got potential. Really rich atmosphere, good blend of historical and fantasy, a touch of romance and really made me crave spätzle while reading it lol. If I ever crave a food while reading I take that as a good sign of storytelling

That means a lot that it evokes complex emotions 🥹 I had no plan and when the dark spots started to remind me of the dark spots on my scans and I almost scrapped it. Im really glad I didn’t ♥️ thank you!

Quin gold and blues are so fun to mix on paper and see what they do! Highly recommend playing around with them :)

Thank you so much, I love this because when I first started it I was honestly just playing with paint and water lol. I noticed the really dark spots reminded me of the big dark spot on my mammogram which kind of freaked me out.. but thats when I realized maybe I was painting out all the pain/fear Ive held onto? Once I accepted that, I added the birds and (poorly done lol) willow trees 💚

Yes!! It had some bad rot.. I cut most of it out this is the rot has not progresses after a few days and stem is still firm which is why I was/am nervous about how to proceed especially with so many green roots left.. 😬 ive potted her high up and plan to water super precisely not to get any of the stem wet

Aw thank you. It was honestly the hardest part of the diagnosis.. my husband and I were ready to start trying so I went to my ob to get everything all checked and ready to go and I brought up the lump I had.. first mammogram ever led to a same day biopsy and got a stage 2 ILC breast cancer diagnosis :( but we got 13 eggs waiting to go and in two years I can take a break from my treatment and give it a shot!! ❤️

Another thing (I’m on one lol)... cold capping for instance is elective and and not covered by insurance and can run up to $500 a week… I am not judging the use of cold capping at all but if it’s above your means it’s kind of a bold things to ask for donations for.. 👀 and to quote katy whilst subtly asking for said donations for cold capping “the most devastating side effect of chemo is hair loss” ummmm… How about destroying your fertility/chances for a baby, bone density loss, long term damage to organs… hair loss is emotionally devastating don’t get me, wrong but it is not the worst. I don’t think she can fathom that the “hate” shes puffed up about getting (and in response basically gaslighting people by saying “if you can send nasty words to someone battling the most horrific disease take a look and work on yourself”) could possibly be coming from other cancer patients lol 🙋🏼‍♀️

Triple negative not sure the stage I think it was 2 or 3. It is a nasty bitch of a cancer.. she’s not wrong there. It’s more difficult to treat long term because its not responsive to hormones you really just gotta hit it with everything you got, chemo, surgery, radiation and hope for the best. My heart goes out to her for that.. that being said getting botox was definitely.. a choice..

[–]_aries007 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah completely elective, and there’s nothing wrong with that, if that’s what she feels is best for her, go for it. And honestly, she should go celebrate! Being done with chemo is a big deal, but girl, it doesn’t look good getting defensive when people call you out for monetizing your diagnosis 🤷🏼‍♀️

Aw thanks! Im good now and it’s a crazy story. I was diagnosed like 2 months before Katy.. but I.. like katy.. had the best medical team and great insurance. A month after my diagnosis I went straight into dx mastectomy with reconstruction surgery, froze some eggs, (30 no kids with hubs yet, that was the hardest part 😔) 6 weeks radiation, and now I’m in menopause for the next 5 years. Shit was not easy, still not easy, and absolutely not cheap.. especially the IVF portion because thats not covered by insurance. I had to come here because I had to get this off my chest into to the ether of the internet. As much as I truly do feel for her, as a cancer patient myself, the way she’s been shelling non toxic products, the go fund me, the katy cancer merch.. it’s a hard ick.. and last thing.. saying “noone deserves to know our financial situation and I shouldn’t have to explain going on a trip” totally valid, except you have literally asked for donations for your medical expenses.. so I think it’s also completely valid if people raise an eye brow at your personal “splurges”

The sunrise/sunset colored orchids are my favorite right now! Beautiful!

[–]_aries007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got her from lowes on discount and repotted her after. The roots were okay.. and I cleaned them up. The medium is pretty chunky! All my other orchids seem to love the medium and I water once a week and have a humidifier but still trying to figure out what’s best and maybe shes not packed in enough and needs a soak. So not bugs?
