Same visit: “It’s good you moved to Germany. Here we call it Zöliakie, which makes your first name considerably less unfortunate. You’ve suffered enough without having to introduce yourself as Celia the Celiac.”🤣
SO MANY people ask if my parents NAMED ME AFTER MY DISEASE.🙈
Our youngest was tested for celiac disease yesterday. The doctor asked if autoimmune diseases run in our family.
Me: “I have lupus & Hashimoto’s. My daughter & I have celiacs. Our twins have JIA.”
German doctor, after a brief pause: “Ah. Your immune systems are very ambitious.”
Yes but I love him unequivocally. There’s something cathartic about everyone else in the universe struggling with what the right thing to do is and then James Fucking Holden annoys them into doing what’s right
@dramaticsKC@baksycthe Yup, 100%. She had made too many enemies in Jinling. The whole show started on the premise that the emperor was vengeful and careless about death. How did she then assume that the Crown prince would take the word of a commoner over nobility? She has not been very bright …
@dramaticsKC@baksycthe I’m chalking a lot of the character switch up to trauma but it feels like she thought she was completely free once they became commoners. Which commoner would dare scheme against a ducal family and think they would survive that? She is starting to frustrate me tbvh
@dramaticsKC@baksycthe Whew, you summed up my reservations. If her status was elevated, he could have gotten his mother to send a matchmaker. He would not have needed to go the emperor route, she seems to ignore that he pretty much fucked over everyone specifically because of the class difference.

It’s so difficult to have earnest conversations with people who think that if enacting change (in their own lives or on a grander scale) won’t be easy or convenient, then they should just lay down and die lol. Tweeted about how it’s useless to ruminate on your teen years-
We visited the abandoned Koforidua Regional Hospital after you pointed us to it. We will be visiting the others to bring them to national attention.
If you know about any abandoned projects, please click on the link in the comments and share them with us.

Youth and residents of Tanoso have arrested their chief, the Tanoso Ankobeahene, Nana Amoako Atta, and handed him over to the police over his alleged involvement in illegal mining activities near the Tano River.
The chief was reportedly apprehended after he was allegedly caught transporting sacks of mineral-bearing stones and sand from an illegal mining site to the palace, where he claimed ownership of the materials.
