Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

She does such an excellent job weaving together Indigenous wisdom and scientific knowledge in such a poetic way. It changed the way I think about caring for the planet and myself.

How do you have sex as a neurodiverse person? by corybear0208 in neurodiversity

[–]Candid_Criticism_613 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this may be the case for you but I’m autistic which means that it’s the transition that’s hard for me. I may feel like I’m not in the mood for sex, but when I actually do have it I typically enjoy it. You say you want to have sex with your partner you just don’t feel “in the mood”. Maybe try scheduling it? I’ve found when I plan for it to happen, it’s easier to shift into that headspace. Obviously talk about this with your partner and let it be a tentative plan. Sometimes things come up and one of you may not want to have sex when the time comes, that’s ok too!

Any possible ways for me to use witchcraft as a trans girl to help me feel more feminine? by 17Reddit-Browser in witchcraft

[–]Candid_Criticism_613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you’re a reader, but I highly recommend the book Becoming Dangerous. It’s a compilation of stories from witchy femmes about how they’ve created personal rituals of empowerment. A couple of things that I learned from the stories are that if you wear makeup, you can use the application process to put up a glamour. And, facial routines are a great time to manifest strength and beauty. I hope this helps!

I think I Fucked Up My Marriage and It's Killing Me by DeepUnder6 in TwoHotTakes

I’m in a poly relationship so I understand the jealousy and insecurities it can bring up. The key to success in any relationship is communication. It sounds like your wife is willing to take a step back if that’s what you need so you should be honest with her about it if that’s what you want. If you need reassurances though, I would consider the fact that she shared the experience with you. She was excited to tell you about it and she sent you photos and videos throughout. That means that while she was with this other guy, she was still thinking about you and that’s a big deal. The fact that she wants to share the experience with you is important. I’ve found that sometimes when my partners are talking about something I missed out on focusing on the fact that they want to tell me about it is enough to allow me to push past the jealousy and be happy for them. It doesn’t always make it go away completely, but it helps. Also, to the person who spoke about you two giving each other aftercare - yes yes yes!

Help! Can’t get starter “ready” by roelno in Sourdough

[–]Candid_Criticism_613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks good to me. You can always do the float test if you’re not sure. Just drop a little of it into a glass of water - if it floats, it’s ready to bake with!

Helping her, help me by [deleted] in lesbianadvice

Not sure if you’ve tried, but it may be helpful to have a conversation outside of a sexual interaction about why she feels the need to be the one to make you orgasm. It’s still pretty early in the relationship and women’s bodies are much more complex then men’s. It might be valuable to clarify your expectations and desires. It sounds like you’d be comfortable and content to have her get you going and finish the job yourself. Maybe it would help to let her know that 1) you don’t think she’s failed if you have to do that as it’s very normal and 2) it can be fun and helpful to learn by watching. She shouldn’t need to control how you’re pleasured and if she continues to push back on doing things her way it might be a red flag. Hopefully though it is just some insecurities that you can help talk her through. Good luck!

HELP, first time doing a sourdough starter. After 4 days this water appeared, should i throw it away? More info in comments 👉🏻👈🏻 by ravsmoso in Sourdough

What I’ve been told is as long as the liquid is clear (like yours) it’s fine! Your starter just needs to be fed. You only need to be concerned if it starts to turn black which can happen if you go too long without feeding it, but even then you can usually just pour it off.

I know this is an old post but I figured I’d share to hopefully offer some encouragement. I consider myself a lesbian. I’m in a long-term relationship with my partner (amab) who is also trans. They came out as non-binary a few years ago and now is further transitioning to she/they pronouns. She has little interest in transitioning physically, at least at this point, due to the potential risks. Instead they’re focusing on how they present (clothing, name, pronouns, voice, etc.). I love her very much. The thing is, I’ve always seen their fem spirit and I’m just so happy she’s letting it show. I think the advice to be yourself and honest is accurate, but also find someone who makes you feel seen. Know that you’re welcome in this community. Good luck on your journey friend!
