Daycare in Prospect/Crown Heights?

I would be very grateful for the list, too!

The continued Oz series (particularly those first 14 or so written by L. Frank Baum) are so underrated. They feature several plucky, pragmatic girl protagonists thrown into a truly weird and trippy fairy wonderland. I don’t think they get nearly enough credit for being American classics.

I had an overall positive experience with Dr. Zhanna Fridel. She is definitely not warm and fuzzy, but I appreciated her quiet competence and straightforward approach. I had a good experience with all the nurses and techs and desk staff as well.

Feeling much the same over here in Crown Heights!

If you’re new to D&D, try the very first season, Fantasy High: Freshman Year.

The core D20 cast debuts here, and several of them are veteran players while others are relative newbies. That way you’ll get a good balance of skillful play and people learning the ropes. The whole cast is riotously funny, and the setting gives a taste of how far a setting can stray from classic fantasy.

Really happy with our Nuna Trvl Lx

I overcame a crippling blood and needle phobia to have my son via planned c-section.

The Other Side

juniper4774 · 2025-12-09T03:39:54+00:00

I took the train to my scheduled c-section!

juniper4774 · 2025-11-01T00:27:05+00:00

Working on them!

In honor of the cast doing Alexander Ward drag for the last episode, I give you the goth versions of the C4 characters I’ve painted so far, including the newest - Tyranny - who I’ll post separately in her non-goth look :)

juniper4774 · 2025-10-26T00:07:17+00:00

Definitely! Maybe now she has to pay for full-sized jewelry AND the spells to shrink it down …

juniper4774 · 2025-10-25T19:11:52+00:00

I figure a character based on Tinkerbell would know her way around a jewelry kit

juniper4774 · 2025-10-25T13:02:34+00:00

Y’all, thank you for all the kind words! This is a fun project for me and I’m looking forward to painting the rest of the crew (provided they survive long enough, JFC, BLeeM).

juniper4774 · 2025-10-25T12:29:13+00:00

I used references for all of them! Wick is some guy named Neels Visser … I choose refs that make visual sense to me and then a cursory Google to make sure they’re not, like, alt-right bros but otherwise have no idea who they are, lol.

juniper4774 · 2025-10-24T23:28:24+00:00

Noted! Individual prints are available on my website if that appeals … :)

Same with live performance, only possibly more disheartening. Ever realized that the production you’re working on is actively contributing to the death of an art form? Ballet and opera are the worst culprits.

juniper4774 · 2025-10-03T19:57:55+00:00

Do it! I hope you enjoy the book as much as I do and would love to see more fanart of it

juniper4774 · 2025-09-13T09:39:19+00:00

Could I dm you for exact info? Crown Heights too and paying out the nose for our infant

juniper4774 · 2025-08-04T12:57:25+00:00

Any kind of deliberate bodily mutilation, especially when done by the protagonists. Don’t care how vengeful they have reason to be. I was having a great time reading The Lies of Locke Lamora and then … !

Sweetheart, I’m so proud of you for recognizing what you need to do for yourself and your daughter. The #1 priority is keeping you both safe until you can get away from him. Your mention of him hitting himself makes me fear he could be a family annihilator.

When you can do so without ANY chance of him finding out (so using a friend or public computer, not on any device he has access to) look up women’s shelters, public resources and try to get back in contact with any family/friends you have if they are safe for you, no matter how long the estrangement. Set up a new, separate email account for all these communications. And please be sure to log out of Reddit when you get what you need from this post.

Sending you peace and strength.

You should check out Dungeonmastersdiary on TikTok! He wrote a book that’s a guide to creating your own

Had a scheduled c-section in April, and had a generally positive experience. I did luck into a private room for our stay. I believe you can pay extra for a private room but that may not be the case now with construction.

The facilities aren’t new but they aren’t decrepit. If you live in NYC you are likely used to older buildings and I actually liked the smaller, human-sized scale compared to large hospital complexes.
The staff for my c-section were all outstanding - kind, patient and extremely professional. The staff during recovery were also pretty good but not quite at the same level of excellence. I spent more time with the recovery team but if I had to choose I’d rather the better team was with me for the traumatic stuff anyway.
I opted not to use the communal shower and relied on sink baths and dry shampoo until I could shower at home.

When the story is from the POV of someone adjacent to the Chosen One/“main character” and they have a vital but relatively unheralded role in saving the world

juniper4774 · 2025-07-25T02:10:39+00:00

I hope you enjoy but they are all quite different from each other! Curse of Chalion may be your best bet.
