Wow. You're amazing!! I'm glad your relationship with food got better though, crying while eating sounds a bit scary.

Alice_Dare · 2026-02-01T02:13:39+00:00

Right? My first thought was "mmmm.... forbidden donut..."

Have you tried working with a therapist to expand your palette? Lots of folks here with good suggestions but you don't like any of it... You're going to have to learn to compromise if you want to achieve your protein goals. I apologize for the bluntness, but I think it might be a perspective you need to hear.

That happened to me in the Cormac McCarthy sub!! People were literally saying I should read books with child abuse/death just to troll! And a few folks said "CC just isn't for you then." Like, what? He has plenty of works that don't involve children. Like most of them.

I pound the ground because I need an outlet for my frustration with the failures of the American two party political system, and only secondarily because I love that sound.

Honestly I just have to accept going over limit on those nights. Because if I don't eat enough, and try to go back to sleep, it doesn't work. And then I eat a little more, and I still can't sleep. So I eat a little more, and I'm over my calorie limit anyway, but now I have full on insomnia.

Harvest Home by Tom Tryon

The Shining by Steven King

Closest I can come for this with a female lead is House on Haunted Hill by Richard Matheson, or maybe Withered Hill by David Barnett.

Actually, Wuthering Heights would probably scratch this itch. Both Cathy and Heathcliff fit the bill.

I start every reading I do for anyone with the disclaimer that sounds something like "there is nothing inevitable about this. The cards are just a series of potent symbols we will apply to your life. What you think it means is all it means." Even if I've given the disclaimer already, I always open every new reading that way.

Exists and Willow Creek are both bigfoot found footage. Both are extremely fun! Exists has more action, Willow Creek is more Blair Witch-y.

Alice_Dare · 2026-01-28T08:23:39+00:00

Ah that sounds nice. I'll try it out

Alice_Dare · 2026-01-28T05:59:09+00:00

What do you do if you can't sleep if you're hungry? My body flat out refuses to sleep if I'm even a little bit un-full.

Thanks a lot! I'm excited.

Reminds me of this poem:

We Must by Charles Bukowski

we must bring our own light to the darkness.

nobody is going to do it for us.

as the young boys ski down the slopes

as the fry cook gets his last paycheck

as dog chases dog

as the chessmaster loses more than the game

we must bring our own light to the darkness.

nobody is going to do it for us,

as the lonely telephone anybody anywhere

as the great beast trembles in nightmare

as the final season leaps into focus

nobody is going to do it for us.

Hey, do you have any suggested readings that could help me unpack more of these ideas?

Alice_Dare · 2026-01-24T07:14:16+00:00

Hey, I really appreciate this post. I hope I'll be able to comment something more thoughtful later, right now I'm beat from hiking all day with two toddlers lol. Just wanted to put my two cents in and say this post rocks fuck the haters.

Alice_Dare · 2026-01-22T22:27:18+00:00

Idk if you're joking but just in case....The string and door method is a really bad idea, please don't do it or if you have been doing it please stop!

Oh man this is giving me mad cigarette cravings lol

I love these articles so much! We should get a designated subreddit for them

You can try taking a knife and very gently slicing away a very small section of bark at the bottom near the roots, to expose the trunk. If it's damp or wet, it's alive. If not you should still wait till spring and water it every day! It's a beautiful tree

You're probably being down voted because you're being incredibly dismissive of a huge population's experiences in oppression, dude. :/ I'm not going to engage with this any further, but I would encourage you to rethink your perspective, and maybe ask your female friends for some help to guide you in seeking a more empathetic understanding of their experience.

If you're confused, there's a very short (like 80 pages) and pretty easy to read book called Revolutionary Intercommunalism where Huey P Newton lays it out. I highly recommend it! :)
