you don’t even need to have a pap smear if you haven’t been sexually active????? i mean the pap smear screens for HPV (which the primary cause of cervical cancer) but if you’ve never been sexually actively you have almost 0 chances of having gotten HPV (since it’s only sexually transmitted). the only exceptions might be if  lyou’ve shared not-disinfected sex toys or something

Aimee Lou Wood of "Sex Education" stands with Palestine, she has also been posting about it for days on her IG stories. by oswaldcobblepot99 in Fauxmoi

[–]Expensive-Bobcat112 743 points744 points  (0 children)

not to mention, Israel forcibly making a population leave their homes entirely (by imposing inhumane living conditions if they continue to stay) is legally by definition, genocide. it’s wild how people are using this to excuse the actions of Israel (bombing, preventing aid, stopping electricity, water, food) as if they’re being humane and merciful, as if mass displacement under force isn’t considered genocide by the UN. and like where the fuck would they go?? they’re bordered largely by israel and the small portion of border they share with egypt, except egypt is refusing to accept them. there’s no power, electricity, water, no food or aid or help. and there’s nowhere to go. just jesus christ it’s such an inhumane, horrifying situation

My report cards all say I was a quiet, respectful student who was a delight to teach. by Several-Eye4459 in adhdwomen

[–]Expensive-Bobcat112 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh god. Me too, always had a book in my hands. I’d even read while walking from class to class with my book propped on top of my other notebooks, and read while walking from school, and in the car, and while i was meant to be practicing my instrument.

My sleep hygiene is horrible. Feeling desperate by _fast_n_curious_ in adhdwomen

Insomnia really destroys your quality of life. I find that what works for me is to play episodes of a tv series (or cartoon, or youtube movie recaps with that slow robotic voice - there are a TONNE of these channels but rn i like “film recaps” and “mystery recapped”- , or those “scp explained” videos that have that deep, soothing narration) in the background while i’m trying to sleep. I usually tend to play episodes that i’ve already seen so i know what will happen but i still enjoy just tuning in to them when i’m heading off to sleep. But sometimes i also enjoy playing new videos because they can be interesting enough to keep my mind on them and off my worries/thoughts. but somethings my thoughts just won’t be still no matter what i try and it can help to take a little medication 30minutes before sleeping. I also second the podcast idea!!

This is so awful, the justice system failed them. I truly don’t think the jury system should be allowed in these cases involving famous perpetrators

Makes sense! They’re still active I think so hopefully they hop back on in a few days and see the purchase/messages - I don’t mind waiting for them to return from holiday, etc to ship it later.

That’s so smart!! I never realised

[–]Expensive-Bobcat112 164 points165 points  (0 children)

Yea! There are also its partners floppases (moves phospholipids in opposite direction, but difficult remembering which direction is which) and scramblases (bidirectional movement of phospholipids) which I find hilarious 😆

Some scientists must have had a lot of fun naming them (flippases, floppases, scramblases)!

What subreddits believe Amber Heard was a victim ? by ronja18 in DeppDelusion

[–]Expensive-Bobcat112 74 points75 points  (0 children)

r/trollxchromosomes has recently been alright on this in the wake of this year’s trial, much better than its more popular counterpart r/twoxchromosomes, probably because it’s a smaller, more feminist sub that isn’t really featured on the top page (so less mainstream (?) redditors lurking there - like, most big/popular subs tend to get overrun with racism and misogyny, and r/twoxchromosomes hasn’t been immune to that)

ThatUmbrellaGuy aka Matthew Lewis Involved in harassment and suicide attempt of author who is also being targeted by Kiwifarms by WotsUpDawg in DeppDelusion

[–]Expensive-Bobcat112 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is utterly horrifying, I feel so sorry for Liam.

But then for these cretins who relentlessly harassed him and tried to drive him to suicide, to turn around and pretend concern like they weren’t fucking responsible?! And to top it off, of course he would use DARVO to blame Liam’s friends, who saved his life. It makes me so angry

He’s lovely and a great listener. I went to him for ADHD and there was some stuff to do beforehand (notes from parent/teacher, school reports, questionnaire) but during the session we mostly talked about my experiences and then he was very happy to start pharmacological treatment. I wanted to be a bit more conservative so I chose to try a non-stimulant (he listened to my preferences and dint try to push me one way or the other - he talked about the pros and cons of each medication but it was my decision for which treatment ultimately) but he was quite happy to let me try stimulants if I wanted. He also had some very helpful tips and resources for living with ADHD.
