[linkspam] My nipples are essentially indistinguishable from an extremely disgruntled turtle

[kaberett]

That is, they are presumably in there somewhere, but they have Retreated Into Their Shell and are Not Coming Out.

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest:

• Karen Armstrong on the myth of religious violence (circa 2014)
  
• A camel through the eye of a needle, and other wild tales of translation
  
• Mount Taranaki (Aotearoa) has been granted 'living person' status
  
• Brutalist cuckoo clocks ("Cuckoo Blocks")
  
• Book and the Dragon: a tiny nine-page comic about queers and libraries and dragons (silveradept, I thought particularly of you)

Re: the title of your post / opening hook - oh thank goodness, I'm not the only one. (Though in my case, it's unilateral; exactly one nipple acts like a turtle or a retracted snail eye, and the other is Cheerfully Standard Issue nipple, and it's been like this for a few years now. I'm expecting them to start fighting crime together any day now.)

TOGETHER THEY-- ha.

Mine are currently Interesting in that they are Purely Cosmetic (no joined-up nerve endings!), and even as they shed the scabbing they're... disgruntled, but yes, definitely you are not the only one!
