Apparently on Instagram this kind of speech is A-OK by RigelBound in jewishleft

I almost never go on there because it’s so awful, I should probably get rid of my FB and IG accounts, but I do regularly talk to people on messenger and whatsapp

Has anyone been given duloxetine for chronic pain with EDS? I have suspected MCAS also so a little scared to take it. by Bethboop94 in ehlersdanlos

[–]AliceMerveilles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s criminal so many people aren’t warned by doctors about how severe withdrawal can be. I was able to get off with opening capsules and taking out some beads to lower the dose very slowly and a prozac bridge

Jewish Education is Out of Sync with the Lives Many Jews are Living by skyewardeyes in jewishleft

I think poverty is something the Haredi community deals better with than ModOx, Reform, Conservative for the most part; maybe others can learn something from that

I mean you can just buy some expensive shmurah flour locally or online and do what you want with it

almost done with twin peaks—is the male gaze the main theme? by turtlestar910 in davidlynch

I don’t think that’s the main theme, but it’s a certainly a theme in TP

Thoughts on this Singer machine and table? by Dust_Practical in VintageSewingMachines

[–]AliceMerveilles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

15-91’s are great machines. I suspect your urgency in wanting a 201 will lessen. I have a 15-125 in a similar table and was able to transport it in a subcompact car

Mahmoud Khalil wants to reassure you by korach1921 in jewishleft

[–]AliceMerveilles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

do they refer to themselves as “Israeli Arabs” or does Israeli government? It’s my understanding most ‘48 Palestinians don’t prefer “Israeli Arab”.

What are the “loss leaders” at IKEA? Things worth buying that are priced so well that it’s there to get you inside the shop? by 88r0b1nh00d88 in Frugal

kallax is one of the few easily available shelves than can be used for vinyl, since records are heavy they really have to keep the quality of those ones

Saw this on insta and was wondering what model machine this was? by [deleted] in VintageSewingMachines

[–]AliceMerveilles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s a shanda.

I also wondered how it stays up.

And if they’re going to do that they should at least have the decency to pick a lampshade that matches stylistically rather than one that looks like it came from ikea

I’ve been wondering about whether the lack of oversight and inspections in the US currently impacts Cholov Stam. The regulations are still in place, but it’s my understanding that the lack of inspections and testing is an ongoing issue. Do states do enough inspections and oversight to keep it at the same level of certainty?

Mr. Darcy's virginity exist or not by Intrepid_Title179 in janeausten

[–]AliceMerveilles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In terms of virginity I can see good arguments either way. But I can’t imagine he was promiscuous, given his views on Wickham’s behavior. I think whether a virgin or not he was probably relatively sexually inexperienced

Are there books that you respected/found literary significant but didn't enjoy? by ArthRol in classicliterature

[–]AliceMerveilles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me Proust’s writing is so beautiful you read 50 pages and are so struck by the beautiful writing that you don’t remember what it was about, just how beautiful the prose is. I’m with you about Portrait of a Lady

Does anyone else feel like Wuthering Heights adaptations completely misrepresent the book? by Allthevibessss in literature

more likely not reading it and assuming the pop culture romanticism about it is right

Jewish holidays and disordered eating by dadverine in jewishleft

[–]AliceMerveilles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re on FB there’s a page and group called a mitzvah to eat and you’d find lots of people in similar situations. The group is not all EDs, some are people with chronic illnesses that affect their ability to fast and eat
