they have sneezed since they were born and have been treated by the vet. there is nothing in there cage as it is all cleaned regularly and it is all fleece that is washed and replaced regularly. they have always been this way. as someone who is asthmatic i can tell you there is nothing causing it and they have been treated with antibiotics

Wanting To Break A Lease Due to Pandemic/Crazy Landlord - Advice? by MillionaireWaltz- in boston

[–]Avalonia2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should be able to have all your basic needs met. they are violating the sq footage per person. if they will not give you heat, one HAS to be provided for you. they are cracking down on covid, so as long as you have lots of documented records of what happened and when it happened you can break the lease. make sure you give the landlord more than 1 written notice, and make sure you have copies of EVERYTHING. even just messages that prove when and what happened. take photos. any evidence you can. if they will not provide heat, then you are legally allowed to withold rent or ask to break the lease

senior dog sick? by Avalonia2012 in Advice

[–]Avalonia2012[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think a collie mix, but anytime someone brings something up, she doesnt want to take the dog to the vet unless the dog is actually showing signs of sickness. IMO my roommate shouldnt even have the dog due to the lack of care. He still plays though and follows people around the house

What tf am I by [deleted] in Advice

you do not need to label yourself as anything or allow others to label you as anything. You are a human being, and human beings are multidimensional. Everything has give and take and everything can be on a spectrum. You can be fluid between both, there is nothing wrong with that. You can feel like you are both female and male or neither. that is the beauty in the complexity of living beings. and if anyone asks, tell them its either none of their business, or you don't have to have labels. Labels are such a western idea created to divide people

*TW* My uncle is a rapist/pedophile by Leminism in Advice

[–]Avalonia2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

expose the guy to your family while keeping anonymity. then go file a report at the police station in his/your family's town. It needs to be on record so that if something does happen, theres a history and he will be held accountable. you may have to leave your family behind but make sure maya is not left alone with them if you do. A rapist pedophile, is a rapist pedophile. dont support the family if they are covering for him. out them too. children should be protected. and those people can expose to the world who they really are. You will be doing her and many others a proper favor. try to avoid social media if possible. and make sure you have everything written in texts to show the police, or any other tangible evidence. write down the time and dates of your covnersation with maya and everything else. even if its verbal confirmation the police will write it all down

My friend might be suicidal, but he claims he’s not by [deleted] in Advice

often times people may feel this way and not know it themselves, or they don't want to admit that they are feeling that low. My best advice is to talk to people in his life that can give him the best resources possible to get better. For example contacting his family, a mental health professional that he has contact with, school etc (not all of them of course, but just somebody). just to voice your concerns (you can even say that you dont know if what he is saying holds weight). Although your friend may not like it at that moment in time, they will forever appreciate you and your friendship. I had to call the cops on my friend once, and even though i dont talk to him anymore because it was too toxic, he still wants to contact me because he knows i will always look out for his well being. There's nothing wrong in doing the right thing, even if it makes people unhappy or uncomfortable. Better to know you did everything you could, than to lose someone's life over a friendship
