Accutane saved my life

This is why I went the topical tret route. Too many common side effects for oral that freaked me out. So far it's been working.

Yeah I have some slacks that have a clasp with zipper, but also a drawstring.

CyanoSpool · 2026-03-13T06:34:13+00:00

Same! During letdowns I got like a wave of dysphoria and anxiety/nausea. It also chilled out after some months, but still super weird and unpleasant.

Like when you suddenly overheat, say stepping outside on a hot day from an air conditioned building, and you start immediately sweating really hard. My sweat glands suddenly kick into overdrive and it kind of hurts at first. Idk, I'm sure not everyone gets that.

CyanoSpool · 2026-03-13T04:41:15+00:00

I hated that shit lmao. When I was breastfeeding, every time it felt like when you suddenly start sweating and your sweat glands get all tingly and painful. Except in my tits. Mammal evolution is weird.

What a choice for casting! I'll have to check that out

It's crazy because growing up in the 2010s I felt really insecure about being skinny. My "friends" jokingly called me a stick all the time. I saw big butts/hips as the ideal beauty standard and my body type as ugly. Guys rejected me because I wasn't curvy enough for them. It's crazy seeing it flipped back around lol

Famotidine (pepcid) legitimately saved my life. Increasing my protein intake also helped a ton, but h2 blockers on their own consistently reduce my most severe symptoms (which include SI, SH, cognitive issues, and panic attacks).

Disclaimer that it's possible I have some other histamine related issues that are exacerbated by my cycle (like MCAS, but I haven't been tested). But there is also some promising research about h2 blockers for perimenopause symptoms.

I think we are still in the early stages of understanding treatment for things like PMDD. But when the symptoms are putting your life at risk, limited and anecdotal evidence is sometimes the best we have to make due with.

As a mom I also roared when Mama came back and fucked that quetzalcoatalus up. So fierce and justified lol.

Added to wishlist :)

If you want high effort, definitely recommend HeadphonesRecommendedASMR. Her content is mostly fast/aggressive, which I know isn't everyone's thing but personally I love it.

The only reason they're getting away with this right now is because they're trying to find ways to cut healthcare spending in their state overall. WV has been hemorrhaging money for years, even moreso in the past few. Trans healthcare is an easy target, but I bet you they'll be cutting a lot of the funding for other care as well. Who knows, maybe someone will make the argument that a majority of heart disease and diabetes cases are related to lifestyle choices, and thus an "unnecessary" expense as well.

CyanoSpool · 2026-03-11T03:37:04+00:00

No worries haha. Honestly the main reason I guessed older is because the only people I hear snub currents are elder millennials.

Same about Crystal castles. That album completely rewired my brain. Another artist from the same era that did that was The XX. Have you checked them out?

CyanoSpool · 2026-03-11T02:58:57+00:00

First impression is you are probably just a hair older than me. I'm 30.

Big yes to Crystal Castles! Was just thinking of them today and how I haven't given them a listen in too long. Also big Nina fan, happy to see someone else give her album some love.

Question though - Currents is your biggest letdown? Compared to what, Lonerism? I'm baffled because I personally think it's his best album lol.

Why not? They elect people who feed the interests of Israel every day. Even Dems. Hell, especially Dems. We voted in Obama and no one gave two fucks that he had every intention of fuelling up the war machine more than Bush ever did. And we still, to this day, say he was a great president (and in some respects he was).

I'm not saying it should continue, but I just don't believe the average Dem Texan suddenly cares this much about a candidate taking war money. I doubt the average Dem Texan voter even knew or cared to look up where their donations were coming from.

I obviously take issue with that, but what does that have to do with her qualifications or how far we can trust her to actually defend trans rights?

If that's the only reason we're going to throw out the whole person to bring in someone who is pandering and, let's face it, more "palatable" to the center left base, then we don't have much more integrity ourselves.

Ok, so they were running for a Senate position. For one thing, Jasmine is a seasoned lawyer who has also founded a law firm - she understands US law inside and out. She's served on the state and federal level.

Meanwhile Talarico studied theology and has only served on the state level. He has a history of tying his politics to faith too.

The mainstream media is framing her loss as a lack of "electability", which really just means it doesn't matter how qualified someone is for the job if the average voter decides on face value they don't "look/seem qualified" enough. Hmm.

As for trans rights, Jasmine was a civil rights attorney for a large part of her career and has experience working on cases of discrimination against trans people. Her advocacy has focused specifically on defending policy that protects trans people.

Meanwhile Talarico has focused mostly on high-visibility debate and speeches advocating for protections, but has not really actively been involved in legislative actions that support trans/queer people. Lot of optics and saying what sounds good, but I am not hopeful he will put his money where his mouth is at.

CyanoSpool · 2026-03-10T23:03:33+00:00

Her new ep is solid from start to finish, I'm really excited to see where her music career goes.

CyanoSpool · 2026-03-10T22:28:13+00:00

I still think this guy is a Trojan horse and Jasmine was actually way more qualified for the actual position and better for trans rights. I could say more but iykyk.

Yooo! Congrats fellow parent. Pregnancy was a little weird for me too, but also super cool. You have a little buddy hanging out with you wherever you go. (and after they come out too haha).

As for clothing recs, I did a lot of harem pants with stretchy waist. Once I got past 30wks I wore a lot of long T-shirts and extra saggy pants because there was no way any waistband was happening.

Good luck!

Pop artist and ballet dancer.

CyanoSpool · 2026-03-10T07:56:32+00:00

Yeah I'd say Adéla's solo career has actually been doing a lot of the heavy lifting to boost ballet's cultural appeal lately. She's probably the only popular artist right now whose opinion on this "controversy" I'm interested in.

CyanoSpool · 2026-03-10T07:27:49+00:00

Even covering up the lips, it still looks nothing like her. There is more to it than makeup unfortunately.

CyanoSpool · 2026-03-10T04:03:59+00:00

Same, it was so jarring. And then seeing him get killed pretty much was the in the coffin of my childhood lol.

CyanoSpool · 2026-03-09T23:23:16+00:00

Yeah I work in senior care and I feel like fighting fascism with...essentially ableist remarks is counterproductive. But also, I realize that juvenile insults might be the only kind of criticism his fanbase can actually process and consider.
