We've had to use this crapware for several years now. I can't for the hell of me figure out what's going on with anything. A research visitor is "a vendor." Overdue alerts b/c I have not attended to a notification for a whole 24 hours, on a Saturday. Fuck whoever designed the whole fucking thing.

Dunno, maybe they could actually just show the movie and not start with a half-hour of ads?

I've committed to the same. And I did have invitations that, in other circumstances, I would have been very happy to accept. But yeah, no.

I loved your book! The mother-daughter stuff is outstanding, but I also loved the descriptions of Jamie's research. Too many books/movies boil it down to One Big Revelation And Done. In your book, the Big Revelation is (correctly) just the beginning.

This mathematician would like to thank you for saying that!

And part of a larger plan to keep women at home, because the same men also like to complain about Nursing In Public being "indecent".

Everything we had gained was shaky at best.

Here we are, less than 2 generations later, the “trad wife” is on the rise, GOP think women don’t need a vote, abortion is illegal in many states next to us.

Here in Canada, women just lost their government ministry.

Women should be enraged EVERY DAY.

HEA is a matter of preference. Might be a romantic happy ending. Might be something else altogether. But figuring out what you want, and working towards that, and getting your partners and friends on board? Pretty much a universal experience.

Romance books written by women and based on what women actually want. And quite realistic about how, or if, we could actually get there. Books that spoke to my experience as a professional woman in a world that does not always value that.

And a confession, too: I used to participate in the general deriding of romance as a genre. Looking back, this was based more on rom-com movies (high-riding professional woman abandons career and finds true happiness with a loser guy) made mostly by men, and less on actual romance books...

How many other things like that are there that we do not know? Attributed to "anxiety" or whatever?

And I wish more doctors were willing to say "we don't know" when they, in fact, do not know. Instead of trying to be authoritative and getting us nowhere.

So it was only then that medical specialists started looking for actual physical injuries from noise. And they found them! And then they also found ways to help!

But until then? Anxiety management, CBT, other suchlike - when the actual problem was physical and could respond to PT.

But the audiologists only figured this out just a few years ago. There was some incident in Australia - a call center or something - where a large number of workers became sensitive to noise after a "sonic event".

Was not likely that they all remembered their childhood traumas at the same time.
