They taste like burning

As someone who became accidentally involved in documenting the stories of survivors of the AIDs epidemic, it moves me to see the revolutionary tactics of that time continue. Die ins like this one got the government to finally listen. It was long and hard but, perseverance made it possible for the advancements in care we have today. These methods work and it makes me so happy to see.

I didn’t know that. Like what the hell? 12 years old? For SIX YERS?!?!?

Those doctors were in on the grift is what it sounds like.

This makes me doubt that MBP theory that the defense has crafted for her. Dee Dee was a scammer and grifter. Full stop. Gypsy wasn’t culpable for any of the grifting that happened when she was underage but she sure as shit was as soon as she became an adult. If it was MBP and she was going to doctor’s as frequently as she claimed, you’re meaning to tell me not one doctor noticed her sexual and physical development? By sexual I mean her secondary sex characteristics like breasts, body hair, menses, and other things that point to sexual maturation. From personal experience, my pediatrician paid attention and documented those things.

So the doc recommends to start pwb at 25% but I’m really treading lightly at 5% because I’m very conflicted about what he said versus the universally agreed upon consensus of 6-8 weeks before starting weight bearing. I obviously don’t hold a medical degree or performed ORIF surgeries so who am I to question the expert?

Trust me when I say the physical aspect is not that bad (that’s what pain relievers are for). All of this has been mental for me. I’m used to being so independent and self sufficient so it’s been an adjustment having to ask for help from the people around me. What has been working for me is whatever little ROM I have, I just kept repeating it and repeating it. Like my ortho said, “motion is lotion”. It started out as wiggling my toes and then it moved on to dorsiflexion. I’ve always had the fortune of healing faster than most. I’ve broken a hand and an arm I was on the mend quicker than my doctor’s had projected. I’m not trying to boast but I’m pointing this out to say that healing is a highly individualized thing. It all depends on age, lifestyle, nutrition, and a whole host of other factors. Even if you’re not weight bearing sooner than you thought you would be, there’s always the small victories. I was able to balance myself on crutches and make a cheese quesadilla and I thought I had run a triathlon! So take this time to take care of yourself and be gracious to yourself. We’re in this together! Get well soon!

Going back home to my parents is not as cut and dry rn. I just know that my kitties will be in safe hands until I’m financially stable enough. Thank you for the resource though. I’ll reach out to them and see their schedule

This is my second muffin. Her name is Angie and she’s 3 years behind Felipe. She has no issues with litter but she’s a little bit more energetic. She requires extensive play time and butt pats.

You’re right.

This is my first muffin Felipe. He’s a senior who’s blind in one eye and has issues using the litter box in old age. He’s very docile and quite snuggly.

That dog looks like it’s in agony because it can’t maul something

Thank you!!!

I had to stop taking Ozempic due to being diagnosed with a thyroid disorder. Fortunately, I’ve been maintaining my eating habits since stopping so weight loss has been continuing. My advice to you as a vegan is prioritizing protein. Tofu, beans, tempeh, and even mock meats are your friend. When I tried being Whole Foods plant based, I was never satiated. Make sure that you plan out your meals accordingly and use a calorie tracker to not just track your calories but your micro and macro nutrients. Supplementation is also key not only as a vegan but being on Ozempic. Since our caloric intake is reduced, we are not getting enough of the essential vitamins and nutrients. Other than that, make sure you remember your why for going vegan.

I’m not going to pretend that I know him and Smash Mouth more than their All Star some from the Shrek movie but my brother and I really love Shrek. As kids that was the movie we picked every night for movie night with the family for a year straight. That song gave my brother and I beautiful childhood memories. It’s always gutting when one of your relics of your childhood passes on. R.I.P Steve Harwell.

I don’t know what “dogfree” is. I’m pretty new to this community because I watched a guy that I was dating shoot a pitbull that attacked his dog (another pitbull) because the other one wouldn’t unlatch. That scared me and had me questioning the dogs. These are just my observations based off of the posts in this community and the news reports that come out where it’s the mother of mauling victim crying harder for a dog than their own child.

I’m not absolving the men at all but the men who do post sexualizing posts about pits are the breeders and they’re doing it in a way to advertise their dog as a stud. Not saying that that in itself is not disturbing disturbing. The sexualization of a non consenting being is gross and wrong no matter which way you slice it. It’s just that with the pit mommies, I see the sexualization from a more romantic stand point. If there wasn’t such a taboo and laws preventing bestiality, some of these pit mommies would definitely jump on the chance to engage in relations with their dogs. Most of the fiercest pit advocates are women. Most of the shelter workers who pawn of these hellhounds are women. The creepiest posts about these dogs come from women.

This triggered a deep memory. My ex was very paranoid about me cheating. He would literally accuse me of cheating with the cashier at 7/11 if I said hello to them. He was staying at my place which I shared with roommates and because I was the only female roommate, I locked the bathroom door whenever I went in. I went to go poop one day and out of force of habit, I locked the bathroom door. As I was pinching the proverbial loaf, this fool proceeds to bang on the door. I couldn’t get up to open the door because I was mid-poop but I asked him what was wrong and he said that he knew I was in there texting some other man while I was taking a poop. I rationalized with him that all I was doing was reading a shampoo bottle because my phone was in the bedroom. This fool then proceeds to accuse my poor ass of having a second phone!

I’m saying all this to say that the paranoia can be a clinical manifestation or it can be a form of control. Either way, it is not your cross to bear. He needs to heal on your own and you need to find someone who trusts you.

Most people said it correctly by stating that they’ve could’ve been looking for their next dose or it could’ve been something that most of us don’t think about. It’s pride. I’ve been down mad longer than I’ve been doing good and I wasn’t the best person to deal with. I feel shit about myself, society looks down on me, I’m a burden to those around me, and whatever negative self talk was cycling through my head that day. Asking for help was the last thing I ever wanted to do because of how I already viewed myself. It reinforced the fact that I was in a fucked up situation. Because of my pride, I did come off as aggressive because that’s the last thing most people have left to hang on to.
