or is the ancient Mesopotamian goddess of love, war & fertility. In one Akkadian hymn, Ishtar transforms men into women. Priests known as gala worked in her temples, where they performed elegies and lamentations. Gala sometimes adopted female names and some Sumerian proverbs seem to suggest that gala had a reputation for engaging in anal sex with men.

Have had weird, severe stomach pain since 1pm yesterday without it dissipating (or getting worse, at least.)
It feels like I pulled every muscle on my right side and back, combined with this gnawing/burning feeling. My pain tolerance is pretty high but I'm going to the doctor in case it's gallstones or appendicitis. Yay.
Hope you have a better morning than I am.
