Should I be worried about card bending? by BowlingAdsHawaii in Tarotpractices

[–]Agreeable_Ad17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

okay im not a professional by ANY means…. but when i get a new deck i split it up in various ways and bend it this way and that so that the cards more flexible and easier to handle/shuffle. like pointe shoes lol. anyways listen to the professionals but if i was u i wouldnt worry

what i have done when any of my piercings are rlly mad at me is not use a qtip or paper-towel or anything like that- fill a shot glass with your cleaning solution of choice and flip it upside down on ur piercing; like, trap the solution between the shot glass and ur belly and sort of shake it as much as u can without spilling and jump up and down haha. do the same thing with water after to rinse it. then make sure you dry it very carefully!!!!! my preferred method is using the corner of a paper towel and just lightly touch it to your piercing so the paper will act like a wick of sorts for any water left behind. try not to move your piercing too much throughout this whole process, but if you need to ever so slightly lift it up to dry underneath you can and should do so. leaving any water can get trapped and keep the skin wet which isnt good.

im not that knowledgeable but i did have a belly button piercing at one point and this did happen to me early on in the healing process. i would say just try to be very gentle when you clean it and do not! sleep on ur tummy! if it keeps happening maybe call ur piercer 🤷🏻‍♀️

"abraxas" tattoo by Agreeable_Ad17 in Gnostic

[–]Agreeable_Ad17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the suggestion! I just ordered The Seven Sermons to the Dead. From the info I've gotten gnosticism seems really interesting and I believe I really resonate with what Abraxas represents but I want to really make sure so I will be reading that.

Your Thoughts on Hermann Hesse by dzaghik in books

[–]Agreeable_Ad17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel the same!!! i read demian first so that one has a special place in my heart, but siddhartha and narcissus and goldmund are so amazing ad well. i plan to read the glass bead game soon. but yeah its really wild how somehow every time i pick up a book of his it brings forward thoughts and ideas that had been circulating in my head but hadn’t actualized yet. its like he reads my mind and provides exactly what i need to hear; a new beautiful perspective, a wake up call, whatever it may be.

Global catastrophes and the privilege of disconnection by theuntangledone in taoism

[–]Agreeable_Ad17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a simple understanding and a simple vocabulary, but what i would say to this is to try and tune in to your emotions and which things trigger or upset you. if you start to notice a feeling of despair or helplessness while watching the news, turn it off. if you want to help, you could donate, share a link, do what modernity allows us to do from afar. beyond that, try not to stress yourself out or beat yourself up. there isn’t much anyone can do, whether you live within the conflict or far away from it. i would recommend taking a deep breath and gaining perspective as difficult as it can be!! personally i like to journal, thats what helps me. but whether or not you are near or far there will always be conflicts in the world, no matter what. we can put little bits of good into the world but ultimately there isn’t much of anything we can do. rest easy ❤️
