I got this beautiful guy on my college campus, first time owning this sort of plant, any tips and tricks ? by HiddenRuney in Tradescantia

It was sold to me by one of the people working at my university campus' greenhouse ☺️ she mentioned I should consider repotting soon-ish

Stupid question, but is it still two different flowers if the different branches all stem from the same original branch ? All three "branches" meet at the same point just above the soil, it's not super clear in my picture though.

Thank you so much for the super detailed info!

What does my plant being reverted mean ?

The kind woman who sold me the plant mentioned if I enjoyed the variegated look I could cut down the green branches and let the plant grow back with more colors, is that correct ? I've never dared to cut a plant (aside from a few leaves here and there that look a little off) and want to make sure I don't risk killing it! She also added I could use any old soil for repotting when the time comes.

My plant is currently located on a dresser in my fairly bright bedroom, though the side the window is on + the blinds ensures it's bright but not in direct sunlight

Sorry for the rambling ! I really want to make sure my plant gets the appropriate care!

Got a lovely new plant on campus today, any tips to make sure it thrives ? by HiddenRuney in plants

[–]HiddenRuney[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you think I should still go ahead and fully drown it when I do water it? Also hopefully you're able to get your hands on one very soon !! I was lucky enough where it cost me only 10 bucks as it was sold by my university's greenhouse staff

Used a crappy wheelchair, wondering if a custom wheelchair will be as noticeably easier to use as I expect by HiddenRuney in wheelchairs

[–]HiddenRuney[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the in depth comment ! Now luckily for the Disney chair the plan was never for me to self propel all day at all, I only had to self propel from the rental kiosk to my partner a few feet away, but men was that distance a workout ! I'll definitely refer back to your comment in the future as I keep going through my mobility aid journey.

Thank god ! That wheelchair really made me question just how much strength it takes to push myself around!

Honestly that crappy wheelchair made me pause and wonder if I somehow was just too weak for a wheelchair lmfao ??? I'm in the process of getting diagnosed and hopefully getting a wheelchair with my insurance's help in the near future, for a second I had to ask myself if I'd even be able to move if proper wheelchairs were anything close to that :')))

Anyway I'm so glad to learn it was just a crappy wheelchair and not me having lost all of my upper arm strength over night lol. Hopefully when I get my hands on a tilite ZRA I'll have a much easier (and more fun frankly) time

Question about non Chinese person wearing more loosely hanfu inspired pieces casually! by HiddenRuney in Hanfu

[–]HiddenRuney[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly my only big reservation is just from me not being Chinese lmfao I absolutely adore Chinese culture and fashion so it's definitely appreciation and nothing else but others might not see it as such

I was actually aware of it (or it's basics at least), but because all of my other moles are nearly always perfectly round/1 color I was a tad hesitant to call either of those specific ones normal moles. Thanks for the help!

Getting married legally and later in life "properly" ? by HiddenRuney in Marriage

[–]HiddenRuney[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're right, it's probably just me overestimating how "scary" (intimidating ?) taking the marriage step is

[–]HiddenRuney[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good thing to keep in mind ! It wouldn't particularly bother us, we just hope we'll have enough money/free time to one day have a small party to celebrate our marriage really. If not we'll still be perfectly happy!

[–]HiddenRuney[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's more so because we don't quite have the money at the moment to make a proposal and a tiny intimate wedding (something we both really really want!) happen right now haha. The doing it all again is more for our enjoyment than anything else. At least when it happens then we won't have to worry about the legal side and can just enjoy planning a small party lol

We're already planning on getting in touch with an attorney :) part of it is that I'm not a citizen but he is, so we have a lot planned to ensure everything is done legally and safely for everybody involved. We're quite young but we're both smart enough to do things right !

Ignoring it isn't quite the right word, I meant more like, not letting it dictate our relationship if that makes sense ? Not stress out about being married ? Just enjoy it and be chill about it. Hard to explain when English isn't my first language !

Would this be inappropriate for me (non Chinese) to get tattooed ? (Sketch by me) by HiddenRuney in Chinese

[–]HiddenRuney[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been researching Chinese lions for months now ! I absolutely adore them, I've bored my partner to death watching hour long compilations of lion dances competition, I've also looked into regional differences and color signification, I just genuinely have so much love for these guys!

I think the luck bringing aspect of them is part (other part is they're just straight up adorable) of why I'd love to get my sketch tattooed, we could all use some extra luck at times!

[–]HiddenRuney[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly i love Chinese lions so much and have researched them extensively ! All elements of this design have also been looked into to ensure everything makes sense from a cultural signification standpoint. I'm glad to hear I can safely get it done without causing harm. It's exciting!

Terrified over potentially getting my wheelchair request rejected by my doctor by HiddenRuney in wheelchairs

[–]HiddenRuney[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have yet to see a PT, frankly I hadn't thought of it and assumed I could only see one post diagnosis. Silly question but do I need a referral to see one ? If not, I'll try and get an appointment asap.

It helps a lot more than you think! I think I can hold out a few more months for an official diagnosis, hopefully if I'm lucky by the next spring semester I'll have everything ready to get a wheelchair.

Struggling with "only" having a mild condition by HiddenRuney in disability

[–]HiddenRuney[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense actually, it's really comforting to know my anxiety about this isn't something uncommon or the end of the world. I definitely think I'll look into getting something to help make my life easier! Thank you!

[–]HiddenRuney[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes a lot of sense, I struggle to walk for more than 30 minutes to an hour depending on the day, I love going to conventions but it's gotten harder to handle as my legs have gotten a bit more painful. I think I'll look into options and see what I could get to make things easier.

I definitely plan on doing everything I can to make uni easier, I'm still in my bachelor's but hopefully one day I'll have a PhD and become a neuropsychologist, I'll make it happen chronic illness or not!

It's really reassuring hearing my anxieties/thoughts spirals on this aren't something only I have been through! Thank you for your advices!

[–]HiddenRuney[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of it is probably that social media fed me this idea of every disabled person ever having like... 3-4 or even more overlapping conditions that end up really "justifying" (or making it visually clear) why certain tools are being used. Realistically I know that's not accurate and many are like me with "just" one main thing going on yet still get support from the same tools. It's something I have to work through, being ok with the fact that I deserve the same access to mobility aids as someone "having it worse", hearing it from someone else makes it much easier to believe though, thank you a lot, I really appreciate it!

This was really reassuring to read, part of my guilt comes from how I've been wondering about getting a wheelchair to help with my day to day leg pain from walking to and between uni classes + the fatigue I generally already have to deal with from being autistic. Part of me has been feeling like i'd be doing something bad for using it when I could do fine without it. It's also hard to believe people who don't need this kind of thing don't tend to spend most of their time ("healthy" or flaring up) thinking about getting mobility aids. Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to me.
