Reading progress update: I've read 51%.

Chapter 12 felt like my life, guys.
This was super timely and empowering right now, though I'm going to go out on a limb and guess I don't get magic powers out of dealing with this.
Sigh.
Just one more reason books are better than reality, I guess?
Not dead or anything, by the way, just nursing wounds for a bit. Should be back in full force soon, I promise (threaten?). Thank everyone so much for all the support; it really means a lot to me and I have taken your kind words and even kinder book suggestions to heart. Just been a bit too lazy to update about half of what I am reading from your lists. :x
