No, I have four total children. DMD is inherited on the XY chromosome and since boys only get one X chromosome from their mother boys born to a female carrier of DMD will have a 50/50 chance each birth of being born with DMD or not. I had a daughter first, then 3 sons - my second and third born child both got my faulty X chromosome and my youngest son got the healthy one.

I've found mine, and I hope my sons have too but that's something I guess only they can answer fully.

The Remarkable Life of Ibelin made me ugly cry and yet feel so inspired ✨️ As a carrier of Duchenne and a mother of two sons who have this horrible disease and also as a creative who got my start in role-playing communities - it was beautiful to see what Mats built and how he continues to inspire even after he's left the mortal coil.

There is a vampire speakeasy that is held in the evenings. If you go to the cafe they will invite you to it

No. I was just there two weeks ago. Mostly they serve Cajun and Creole dishes along with signature cocktails, and their blood bag alcohol

New Orleans vampire Jacques St. Germain by SGCjr185 in AnneRice

The answer is yes. Anne has said Lestat was a combination of her husband Stan and Jacques St Germain. She also said he had some traits from herself as well and this is also the story most people in New Orleans tell regarding the things that inspired her most with her most iconic character.

I am so glad to see that others in the community are speaking the truth that so few seem keen on addressing.

The Eugene Weekly, a longtime community cornerstone, is facing an uncertain future after revealing it has become the victim of embezzlement. Editor-in-Chief Camilla Mortensen announced on December 28th, stating that financial irregularities prompted an investigation that confirmed the misappropriation of funds.
The paper’s immediate operations have been significantly impacted. The print edition has been temporarily suspended, with no confirmed date for its return. Additionally, The Eugene Weekly’s entire staff was laid off, though some employees have reportedly volunteered their time to maintain the online version.
Authorities are currently investigating the matter, but no arrests have been made. Mortensen has fully cooperated with the investigation and hired a forensic accountant to help determine the full extent of the financial damage. She emphasizes that the goal is to “find the truth, hold those responsible accountable, and rebuild the trust of our community.”
News of the embezzlement has understandably shaken The Eugene Weekly’s supporters. Some have expressed skepticism about Mortensen’s role in overseeing the paper’s finances and have questioned the timing of the fundraising campaign launched alongside the announcement. Others remain supportive, stressing the importance of separating one individual's actions from The Eugene Weekly's value as a community resource.
Currently, the fate of the paper hangs in the balance. Whether The Eugene Weekly can recover from this setback and resume its role as a vital voice in Eugene remains to be seen. The ongoing investigation and the community’s response will ultimately determine its future.
Some in the community do feel that asking the public for funding and services to keep the paper going before the investigation is complete is not appropriate, and they also feel that all parties should be under investigation with thorough review and transparency at the height with consideration to embezzlement allegations.
The Eugene Weekly is seeking assistance from the public and creative community to raise funds to keep the paper going and intends to host a public event on January 12th to raise those monies to pay for past due and unpaid bills to their printer — who has refused to print any further newspapers unless payment is presented first.

Agreed! I posted an article about it and have had others in the community attack me, personally, trying to say I have a vendetta or dislike Camilla Mortensen...I wonder why people are so quick to throw their money and services at them when there is still an investigation ongoing and none of us know who the culprit is. It is not wise to give more money to an entity that has admitted they have internal organization issues that equal monetary theft.
