In print Iâm making my way through The Memoirs of GlĂźckel of Hameln for #readsofawe, my book in translation. Itâs been sitting on my shelves since college and Iâm glad I hung onto it; Iâm learning some really interesting things about Jewish life in the early 18th century!
Currently reading The Very Short History of the Israel - Palestine Conflictby Ilan PappĂŠ, narrated by Jonathan Todd Ross for #readsofawe, a book outside my comfort zone. I canât put a word to the emotions itâs bringing up beside âbetrayed.â (By Israeli leadership, not the author.)
And this is why Iâve never been able to use these scales. Pure numbers are so subjective! Words are closer to parity, though my 5 and Katrinaâs 5 using this table would absolutely still be different levels of pain.
I just pinned it to my profile so I can find it next time I need it! I totally went to urgent care this summer and made up a number because I just couldnât.
This was shared by @appyjumpindaze.bsky.social on Twitter not long before I stoped using Twitter, and it is the #1 thing I need to save off that site.
Oh, and your cat mom says âmeow.â Repeatedly.
Billy and Pepper, you look so much like your mom and sister! Be good cats for your humans! Love, your foster mom
That is BS.
