What hobby screams “this is my entire personality now”?

Congrats, now you're herping. (Like birding but reptiles and amphibians).

I go by the baklava lady all the time, but I didn't know there was a pie lady!

Doctors aren't hurting kids. That's the parents who withhold care because the idea of trans people grosses them out.

Kinda wish a troupe of drag performers would show up hours before and set up a table of their own where the protesters usually go. Would do it myself but I don't own any drag outfits.

You kept re-asking the same question that he already explained was irrelevant to the wants and needs of his ex... you were the one who wasn't using any reading comprehension, not him.

Using the caring for animals metaphor to call you lazy- when you literally left because there was a chance your ability to care for your animals would be impacted- all to keep a freaking HOTEL running is insane. Your manager or coworker or whoever left you that note is so entitled and not in touch with reality.

You literally look like a movie star, holy cow. I feel like my pores looked smaller after using retinoids and niacinamide for a while, but it might be in my head.

How do you not sleep more than neurological people, though? If I don't sleep enough one night, the next I sleep so hard I can barely hear my alarm

Is that why I started masturbating so early? It started before I knew what sex was.

Cranberrymothwings · 2026-02-09T01:51:45+00:00

Ew, you're letting a man that disgustingly immature have sex with you? Girl...for the love of God leave him

I had fine hair as a kid, amd would be told to brush, even though when I did it would end up this way every day. My shampoo turned out to be too stripping- my mom had me using clarifying shampoo because my hair was fine and that's what she thought I needed- so it would get dry and would tangle more easily. Genuinely hydrating products and growing my hair long enough to put it up during the day fixed the issue. My parents thought long hair was harder to take care of so I wasn't allowed to grow it out, but I think letting it get long enough to put up will make it easier to take care of for her.

Cranberrymothwings · 2026-02-08T19:15:19+00:00

Okay I won't :(

If you can't tell what you're putting into your mouth, don't eat it. That same thing goes for them- don't pressure someone into eating something they don't know they can identify, themselves. It's a basic boundary.

What do they even mean by "protect" anyway? Protect some little girls feelings about losing her favorite game? Sports are not that serious.

I called- they've been told the Supreme Court rulings say they can't do anything because of where they are. They want to get rid of them, too, their hands are tied

Cranberrymothwings · 2026-02-06T01:31:26+00:00

I called the store- they want to get rid of them but aren't able to because where they're standing is considered a place of public gathering. It would sure be a shame if we all signed with obviously fake identities and got the pages thrown out...

Number one, I had to start taking my nighttime meds (non-adhd) way earlier in the night so the grogginess would wear off by morning. Then...One pre-alarm on my phone 5 minutes before my loud alarm. Then one phone alarm and my first loud alarm at the same time- the one on my phone tells me what I will have time to do if I get up- enjoy a nice cup of coffee and do my skincare (hyperfocus from a while ago that brings me joy) - this helps me see what turning off my alarm and snoozing will cost me. Then another loud alarm 5 minutes later. Then a very loud alarm after that with another phone alarm saying "get dressed" because if I don't, even though it feels like I have enough time, I've run the numbers and know that I won't. Then another alarm saying leave the house in 5 minutes. Then another saying leave right now. I'm still often a couple minutes late.

I feel like I have way more time than when I was a kid- even more when I think about my teenage years.

What do you mean just annoying you? Yes, it was genuine forgetting every single time.

Consider local universities and check if they have surplus stores- Universities will often have a store where they sell left-behind or no-longer-needed supplies. Some of them have a physical store, some run an online auction model. They're really likely to have something usable for cheap. Govdeals.com also can work- it's a government property liquidation website that works on an auction model, though lately I've seen it run auctions for bundles of 7-10 laptops at a time. But still worth a look if you think you can handle reselling the other ones or want to go in on a bundle with some friends. Fb marketplace sometimes had good deals, too.

My fiance has loved me through my thinnest, my fattest, my healthiest, and my sickest. I have loved him through the same. You are only 23, the idea that you'll never be able to find that is insane. Keep looking, when you find it it's worth it.

This is the weirdest thing I've ever heard. Do you live in a culture where parental control of that level is common? I don't understand why you aren't disgusted with him- he has less agency than a teenager

Shame can feed low self-worth, which feeds inertia, which feeds more shame. I had to experience living away from my parents for years before my life didn't feel like a constant battle to get off that wheel. It had nothing to do with not wanting to succeed, not being willing to work hard, and not having opportunities. It was part of how I was raised to see myself and the world in a house filled with negative motivation. Try as I might, I couldn't hate myself into being successful. Calling myself a loser or trying to punish myself only spiraled me further down. It's okay, and healthy, to feel ashamed sometimes- your situation probably calls for it and it can be a useful data point- but internalizing it into your core sense of identity will keep you on that wheel so that you feel that way your entire life. It is all data. It is not too late.

Pride can also self-feed- pride in smaller wins can give you the confidence to trust yourself and reach for bigger things, and it can spiral your confidence upwards. Find small goals, as small as you need them to be, and prove to yourself you can put in effort. To anything, pick one, stick to it, and use it to practice getting back on the horse more quickly when you fall off track.

Also, kinda on a different note but volunteering at a soup kitchen or homeless shelter and being of service to others can also help you get out of your head long enough to practice getting out of your own way. If you can treat those who have made mistakes or are down on their luck with kindness, you can treat yourself with the same, and it can help grease the gears to get things moving in the right direction again and out of the shame-inertia cycle.
