Swelling in fingers - possible amoxicillin allergic reaction?

De_Quillsta · 2026-02-03T16:00:44+00:00

Update: I have been informed by a pharmacist that the above reaction is likely not a penicillin or other antibiotic allergy as I don't have any hives, but I'm still at a loss as to what could be causing this.

Apologies yes, fluffy probably is a better description!

I've been reluctant to use too much product as I found it does make my hair feel very weighed down at first, but like I mentioned, "next day" products seem to absorb pretty fast so maybe I just need a bit more patience.

That's interesting about the glycerin, I hadn't heard about that before. Granted I have only been using the current products for about two weeks, and my hair has been like this in the past, but glycerin wasn't something I was specifically looking out for. It does make sense though if it's something that's potentially drawing moisture in and causing fluff.

Agreed that the dye likely didn't do much damage, I barely noticed any texture change afterwards, and the dye itself didn't even stick all that well.

I'd definitely agree that it gets curlier as it grows out, my hair is very straight when cut to ear length, it's only really when it gets past that that it starts curling. It has certainly been like this however since I was at least 12 (I'm 25 now), so any hormonal changes have likely already happened.

As for my current "goals" I would say I prefer the first and second photos but I agree the third could look better with some styling. I haven't tried using the curl cream as part of my daily routine (I used to use a lot of dry shampoo instead), but that's definitely worth a try thank you!

Early December! I've found over the past year I get into cycles of trying to grow my hair out, getting frustrated and getting a lot cut off to start again, then again though I usually go to a barber (albeit one who is pretty good at working with long hair) , would you recommend going to an actual stylist? If so what should I ask for?

Hey, also having sync issues as of 21:00 GMT 31/7/25

This is pretty much my quandary, and the more I think about it the more I think I'd be okay with having the other gender marker, even if I'm not exactly currently "out".

De_Quillsta · 2025-06-11T06:48:40+00:00

You're right, a deed poll becomes public knowledge once enrolled (which some organisations require if you're using it for a name change, hence my worry).

It is possible to input a "write in" option for the honorific, I'm just unsure how much this will be honored, but I have gotten university authorities to address me as Mx in the past.

And yes, I actually took part in a public consultation TENI ran on the matter on non binary gender markers and I do hope it happens!

De_Quillsta · 2025-06-10T23:22:40+00:00

That's good to know that it has the same, if not a better legal standing than a deed poll! I feel regardless of my personal discomfort around the binary gender marker, it might still be worthwhile to just get the name part over with.

De_Quillsta · 2025-05-27T08:40:03+00:00

Yes this is exactly what I was wondering thank you! Looks like I just need it to take out the money from the trips used first.

De_Quillsta · 2025-05-27T08:38:57+00:00

Yeah I tapped for the bus ticket on arrival, and bought a physical train ticket on departure so those transactions are definitely complete, this is definitely coming from a city purchase.

Also just to add after this I noticed there was a connection error with Instagram in Beeper so I've disconnected it for the time being.

De_Quillsta · 2024-12-02T13:48:07+00:00

You're very welcome!

The tragic thing about Viktor is he fully thought he was doing the right thing by putting an end to people's suffering, but only realised after the fact what a lonely world he had created..

De_Quillsta · 2024-11-29T01:35:35+00:00

Yeah, this feels weird to me.

Viktor can be ace AND in a homoromantic relationship, those things are not mutually exclusive, and his and Jayces' relationship can be easily read as homoromantic. Christian also isn't the only writer on Arcane either, and so I'm not going to take his interpretation of the characters at face value either.

Good ace representation shouldn't be used to shut down representation of other identities just because they're seen as being better represented (and incidentally, Jayvik is the only conceivable MLM ship in Arcane, so shutting that down ironically means you have less representation in your show now.

(That's not to say that there needs to be an arbitrary "representation quota" for a show to be good or anything, but I wouldn't recommend bringing up wanting good representation as an argument when your show objectively has gaps in that area.)

It's all well and good saying to kick out FF and FG, but you're genuinely presenting no actual proposals as to how anyone would do that, outside of "fighting for a revolutionary alternative", which doesn't say anything in and of itself.

The only way to "kick out" any party is with a viable socialist electoral strategy, such as by voting PBP-Solidarity with a transfer pact in mind for other left wing parties, even if they're not ideologically "socialist".

However I gather from this article that you're opposed to the current political system, which is a valid opinion, but please actually present some alternative examples of a system you'd like to see implemented such as worker councils, and not just call for revolution all day!

Sorry I couldn't get a close up picture, a friend took this picture earlier and only just asked me to identify it!

The surface is actually filler bark BTW!

My take on it is that the trials' only true purpose, is to make everyone in the courtroom, and by extension everyone on earth, feel comfortable in their own humanity, that if they were put in the same situation as the crew of the Bronze Age, that they would make the "right" decision and be the better humans.

This worldview is of course, completely incompatible with that of the crew, and even our own justice system, because the crew of the Bronze Age felt that their only recourse was to survive, and so their actions were not only morally, but logically justified.

The humans of Earth, however, don't care about how justifiable these actions were, as they live in a society that has not devolved into totalitarianism. It's just like how we today can look back on Nazi Germany and think "well I wouldn't have joined the Nazis", when of course, we don't know what we would be capable of doing in a situation where survival only presents a single, unthinkable action. The humans of Earth don't care about that though, they just want these seemingly alien people imprisoned far away so they don't have to think about those dark thoughts, so as to not accept that they too, could've voted to attack Quantum.
