The foolish little girl, the witch, the mother, the goddess

Venezuela has been in a dictatorship as long as I have been alive. Since 1998. My parents are happy about a coup and hope Maduro dies or gets arrested, which yes. Fuck Maduro, fuck Chavismo. But I've read way too much about the history of US dipping their hands into South America, installing puppet states, fucking everything up and this is not a win. Even if Maduro dies or gets arrested, the US just wants the country's resources without more pretense of negotiations, they are not magically going to fix everything, there is a corrupt reason for this to be happening that is yet to unfold and I'm so tired. Fuck Trump.

As some of you know, I live in Venezuela. For the last hour or so bombs have been falling over my city, Caracas. Some people say it's a coup d'etat, others that it's the US military. We are not yet sure what is happening.

A bomb fell over La Carlota, a military air base a few blocks away from my apartment. We can still see the smoke through the window. As I understand, bombs have also fallen on "strategic places" like Fuerte Tiuna and Miraflores.

The neighbors are speaking about leaving but me and my parents haven't decided what we are going to do. We don't really have a place to go. I'll keep you updated if I can. Thank you for taking the time to read.

30 years.

My doctor informed me after a merciful hysterectomy that she had been a doctor, practicing for 20 years, and it was the worst scarring she had ever seen. Ever.

So for the 30 years before that? I was told that the pain was in my head when I begged doctors for a resolution. That if I just thought about it less, the pain would get better. Perhaps take a couple Tylenol. (Golly gee willikers, why didn't *I* think of that?!! </sarcasm> ) This concept? Is "female hysteria" at its core: the belief that we are falsely claiming distress and becoming distraught without cause. That it is "all in our heads" when we exhibit distress.

Do not fucking try to reclaim female hysteria. Do. Not.

Do not let our pain and problems be brushed off as "poor widdle schnookums must be so confused. Would poor widdle baby like a lollipop while we denounce every reasonable thought and concern in her head?" Because that's what reclaiming female hysteria will lead us.

Happy Dragon Age Day folks!

This whole franchise means the whole world to me, and previous years I've not found the time to post something for the annual celebration. But! This time I managed to finish off this old, sweet sketch of my Rook (Staas) with his beloved, Emmrich. These two are adorable and probably the only Dragon Age couple I love with no angst. Old man yaoi win.

Prompt: Quiet Sex

I hope this is sufficiently cropped for Tumblr's delicate sensibilities. This one started as a story. After slogging through about 1800 words, I realized it was an image and, holy gods, I am so so SO happy with how this turned out. Full, slightly naughtier version on my Bluesky.

TY @datvcompanionweeks for hosting #EmmrichWeek2025! 💚
