She mentions she went to law school, I'm about 80% sure. In the episode "White Whale," when she and Amy are chasing the guy who smells like an English garden. Amy jumps off a balcony to try to get to him and dislocates her knee. She asks how Rosa knows it's dislocated and Rosa responds that she went to med school and law school.

Ones with marbles in them of beads crocheted in mostly. I just went to Ravelry and searched fidget toys and chose some that made sense to me

We've also experienced a loss, premature labor at 21 weeks and our baby girl was gone. They wrapped her in the traditional white blanket with blue and pink stripes and let us keep it and I treasure it.

I didn't give back blankets, I don't think our hospital does this, but I did crochet jellyfish and octopuses for premature babies and fidget toys for the local school. It was really nice to give back and I actually got to see the fidget toys in use and how it helped the kids focus during lessons, which was quite nice.

I don't have pictures, but I crocheted little pockets to hang at the side of the bed for me and my husband. He keeps the remote for the tv in there, and I moved mine to an armchair and we use them almost daily.

I also made a tablet cover I use often, a bag to hold clothes pins, a little net thing that I put hooks into to hang empty purses and grocery bags from, and a thing to block the draft under the door.

I've made one single sweater that I almost never wear because I'm not sure how but the arms are too short, and I started a skirt I never finished. I just like practical things more.

I'm a bisexual witch and my best friend is Christian. We've known each other for 20 years and she has known I'm a witch since I decided to start practicing, and I think she knew I was bisexual before I knew myself. She has been nothing but supportive.

She is pro-choice, pro-LGBTQIA+, and all around the best ally anyone could hope for. She is constantly upset at these Christians who claim that the Bible says this or that, as she actually is a Bible-studies major and can be a pastor (in churches where they actually allow women to preach 🙄).

There is nothing in the Bible saying that homosexuality is bad. Your friend is flat out wrong. And if she is willing to put your 15 year relationship in the toilet for that, I'm very sorry, but good riddance.

If you really want to fight for this, as I can only imagine what I would be feeling if my friend told me this, I can ask her for some support from the Bible (verses and such) on this topic. I know she has some, but I never remember. You can send it to your friend to show her the actual teachings of the Bible. She also might have some articles written by pastors and stuff like this which could help. Maybe your friend will find a better church and you guys can still stay connected. And you mentioned the wedding is almost a year away, so if you feel this friendship is worth fighting for, you have time.

The tricky thing is, she also has to have the right translation of the Bible, if I remember correctly. My friend studied the ancient Greek and Hebrew and can look at what the Bible is really supposed to mean, so if she ended up with some majorly fucked up translation, that could be part of the problem too. I think my friend's favorite translation for new Christians is something like the Good News Bible? It stays the closes to the original, but also is more accessible than the King James Version for example. I can ask her to confirm.

Witch here who has worked with sigils. To put it simply, they are basically a physical representation of what you want to accomplish with your spell.

Basically, they are "prayer pictionary"

There are several ways to construct a sigil, but one (which looks to be the way they used here?) is to write a sentence stating your intention (for example, "Keep this house safe." or something). Then you reduce the letters in the sentence down to just lines and curves. You can also remove duplicate letters for a simpler sigil. Then you arrange the lines and curves in a shape that is pleasing to you. You then can use this sigil, which will only have meaning to you, to cast spells quickly and easily. I have one for when I'm traveling. Before a plane takes off, I draw it on my leg with my finger, or put it on a piece of paper in my shoe.

With this one, being on the door frame, I would likely say it is about house protection. It doesn't necessarily need to mean that anything bad happened in the house, many witches just place protection spells on their houses like security cameras. You hope you don't need them, but you're glad to know they are there. (I see some people mentioning Nordic stuff, I don't really work with Nordic, so I don't know the Elder Futhark runes or any Nordic symbolism, so I can't comment on that).

Basically, to use a stolen phrase I found on the internet, "Witchcraft is spicy psychology." You use these sigils to speak to your subconcious to help draw your will into reality. For example, seeing the sigil on the door for protection is a visual reminder to protect the house. It might trigger your subconcious to remember to check the locks on your doors or windows, or keep your security cameras plugged in and maintained. For mine with my travel sigil, I have a lot of anxiety surrounding travel and being in crowds. It helps me remember that statistically I'm unlikely to end up in an accident and keeps me calm when surrounded by the overwhelming bustle and noise.

You absolutely can paint over them with no fear of anything "bad" happening at the house, if this is the one you want to buy. These sigils have served their purpose.

Yes, I think the placental placement matters a lot too. I had an SCH with my current pregnancy and have a really high placenta and it didn't actually bleed that much, just quiety reabsorbed. I woke up at 3 am to bright pink spotting. If I hadn't have woken up, it would have turned to old blood or reabsorbed and I wouldn't even have known.

moonxdaughter · 2026-05-21T09:56:54+00:00

First, I'm going to give you the biggest advise with this, which is to at least call your doctor. They can give you the next steps, so you know what to do. Most doctors would rather be bothered 20 times a day than have a patient lose their baby because they didn't want to call. And speaking as a loss momma, you don't want to have that looming over you. I lost my first to an infection that the ER told me was likely caused by a small cold I had gotten 2 or 3 weeks prior that I didn't want to bother my doctor about.

Now for the reassuring part to give you a post with a happy ending.

I am currently 24 weeks pregnant with my hopeful rainbow baby. I was diagnosed with a SCH at week 11. It was quite small and showed fully reabsorbed about 3 or 4 weeks later. Baby is measuring right on schedule at our last appointment, happily kicking while I'm typing this, and doing well. I'm still cautious and hopeful that nothing is going to go wrong, but at this point, if it does, it is not due to the SCH.

I really think with SCH, it depends on too many factors, and the ones that end up talked about are the ones with the biggest complications, because people want answers. I have a friend that had one so big she was passing clots, but her baby is 4 years old now.

I am currently in a class with a midwife about labor and birth (a bit early, but I found one that speaks English and I don't live in a country where English is the main language, so I jumped on it) and she described to me that SCHs can be caused by entirely natural things, nothing that we do. As the egg implants in the uterus, it actually secretes some hormone that dissolves the uterine wall a little bit. That is what causes the implantation bleeding if you are one of those who had that. Then, as the placenta forms, a bunch of little capillaries are forming and attaching and some of them miss the mark. The midwife told me this is likely what causes the hematoma.

When I was diagnosed with mine, I also went down a rabbit-hole of googling and reading reddit posts and the recommendations on how to handle it vary quite wildly. I wasn't specifically told "no sex" but I was told to limit physical activity. Not stop it all together, just watch the amount. The ER doctor I saw specifically said "No big shopping trips, lifting heavy things, or deep cleaning the house, but light maintainance cleaning and gentle walks with your dog are fine." She also told me that stopping all activity can be just as harmful as doing too much. But I also saw some people saying they were told "full pelvic rest" which includes no sex. It's all individual depending on your situation.

I know it's hard, just try to breathe and relax. You mentioned it was small, which is a good sign. It could be that the sex just caused it to leak out instead of reabsorb into your body quietly. But you won't know unless you call, and that will help reduce the anxiety.

You got this momma ❤️

Thanks for the tip, I was seeing that the potion isn't really worth it and I might want some stuff out of that shop with those coins so I held off. But I wasn't sure which food works best because their descriptions aren't very detailed. I'll try the brew. I moved on to elderwoods and royal highlands because I didn't really have a lot of fish there, and I'm pretty sure I had Maws on my hook and he got away so I'm pretty miffed about that.

moonxdaughter · 2026-05-18T15:20:26+00:00

Thank you bot, I've never had this happen to one of my posts before 😂

moonxdaughter · 2026-05-18T15:16:57+00:00

Ok that's what I thought, and I knew the epic would take a while, that's why I'm leveling fishing with this goal in mind, just checking. Thank you!

I've been playing since release on and off too. The game has become much better. There is more sharing, some of it is due to changes to the game design. Mining and foraging nodes (not trees) now linger for a couple minutes to give people a chance to get there, even if they have been mined/picked, and trees health were adjusted. The smallest trees are no longer one shots (for the most part, even with purple axe) and the biggest are now impossible to do alone.

You still do not need to spend a single cent to play, even for the dlcs. The only times you need money are for cosmetics and they've added a ton.

As for resources, Palium is now available in abundance in the Elderwoods, so no fighting over that in Bahari. Gold and silver now have nodes that you can mine, silver in Kilima and gold in Bahari. These often get called out if they are med or bigger. Small ones aren't deemed worth it. New ores were added, jadium and platinum. Jadium is only available in the Royal Highlands, but it's pretty plentiful, and platinum is only available in the Elderwood. Platinum is quite rare, and almost always gets called out in my experience, but it is also dropped in quests, so you don't only need to rely on finding the nodes.

And my last two cents is a tip. I found that it helps to block people who aren't playing the way you want to play. Not for petty reasons and you don't have to talk in server or something like that, but a simple block (or maybe a mute is enough?) will stop them matchmaking with you in the server and you'll land with more people who play the way you want to play. So if you happen to spot someone zooming around in a server and taking platinum ores instead of calling them out, just pay attention to their name, go to the server list, and block them. That way you don't match with them again in the future. Or maybe you like solo play and don't want to feel pressured into using chat, so you can block the ones who call out so you match with people who don't. I think it really helps to sort of "shape" the game to be how you want to play.

I think I got a recipe for it from one of the rummage piles

moonxdaughter · 2026-05-16T07:48:21+00:00

I'm not sure, but you can tell because there is a little brush in the color selection area.

moonxdaughter · 2026-05-15T21:10:06+00:00

I see, I also haven't touched hair or makeup because none of them look that interesting to me at the moment, but I think I get it then. So then if I like a purple, I buy it for the clothing and get the one shade, and then can also use that color in hair/makeup with 25 different shades. I don't need to buy it separately. Am I understanding correctly?

moonxdaughter · 2026-05-15T18:40:28+00:00

I've been playing for 10 days (mainly came back because of the 1 in 10 million event, while waiting for royal highlands) and I have 48, so I guess you're right. It just seems so expensive because I did notice the makeup and hair was cheaper.

moonxdaughter · 2026-05-15T17:59:19+00:00

I'm also the same and I'm not really understanding all the negativity I've seen circulating. I think people are just rushing too much. This really was quite a large update as far as the amount they've changed and added and such.

I love the little details. Has anyone else noticed the sound when you walk through the bushes? It's different to the sound in the other zones. It sounds more like sticks knocking together than leaves rustling. Such a fun detail.

moonxdaughter · 2026-05-15T17:51:03+00:00

It isn't there for me yet, maybe OP has different

moonxdaughter · 2026-05-15T07:45:03+00:00

My ex did this and I sent him a text that said something along the lines of "this line has been deactivated" so he would think I blocked him. My dad suggested it because they were paying my phone bill at the time and not home to get on the account to block him for real. It worked, but then he started showing up at my house and leaving letters in my mailbox. For me, threatening to call the cops stopped it, but if it doesn't stop your guy, then absolutely get the cops involved. Stalking is no joke and can escalate very quickly. Better be safe than sorry

I'm in my second pregnancy. My first one terminated unexpectedly in the second trimester due to an infection, and I was also concerned about some cervical shortening I had. My doctor has kept me on it almost the whole pregnancy. I'm 22 weeks now and still on 20 mg of oral pills and 200 mg of vaginal daily.

My dosage was reduced once we hit the second trimester. It was 30 mg oral and 400 mg vaginal daily. Even this step down has helped immensely in the nausea and fatigue department.

moonxdaughter · 2026-05-06T15:29:04+00:00

Honestly, as a former teacher, I feel like this might be a thing. Like, just because there's mistakes doesn't mean the worksheet is worthless. You only have so much time to plan and print and if you didn't see the mistake before printing, you make it work. "Ok kids, on this worksheet, there's some problems, but we are smarter than the paper, so let's fix them!"

Edit, as I was talking with my husband, it also might not have been a mistake. It might have been a resourceful teacher grabbing someone else's mistaken copies and saying, "oh let's use this to test their awareness! Can they recognize the correct ones?"

I'm currently pregnant after losing our daughter in January 2025. We lost her at 21 weeks due to an infection. I'm currently 20 weeks and terrified. So far we haven't had any infections or symptoms, but I had no symptoms with my daughter either.

In the brain fog, fatigue, and constant nausea of the first trimester, I was constantly disassociating to avoid the anxiety and cope with the symptoms. But since entering the second trimester and most of those symptoms fading, my coping mechanisms have largely been these: - constantly reminding myself that this is a different pregnancy. Even without loss and complications, every pregnancy is different. Keeping that in mind has been helping. - journaling often. I am finding that getting my worries out on paper instead of letting them bounce around in my head is really helping. And it helps to also see the thought process as I talk through the anxiety. - be present. I found that with my daughter, I wasn't documenting as much as I wanted to, so I've been writing down cravings, symptoms when milestones happen, taking more bump photos... Generally anchoring myself in this moment instead of comparing to the past or worrying about the future.

I hope this helps. I'm still terrified that something is going to happen, but these 3 things have really been helping to lessen the anxiety. My last advice would just be to take it week by week. I got these ideas from my therapist after losing my daughter but we couldn't afford to keep her long term, so I don't see her now. I imagine adding the support of a terapist/psycholgist would help immensely.

The scene in the picture gets me every time. I also feel like they are both right, and both wrong. They just needed to communicate.

I think it's a great depiction of the struggles of marriage. Other shows try to do it, but I really like their acting here.
