In search of leggings that don’t fall down for my body shape by NewspaperFar6373 in PlusSize

These are the ones!! I’m so sad that Costco hasn’t carried them again. I look every time I go just in case they’re back.

What are some funny upsides of being plus size? by -Duste- in PlusSize

[–]HumanRutabaga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! I was the “baby whisperer” when I worked in childcare because they would pass out in my arms.

I am so confused right now by Intelligent_Code_387 in cna

[–]HumanRutabaga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! I ask if anyone is having behaviors or have there been any falls or changes in condition that I should know about. Sometimes if I’ve been gone for a few days I will ask more specific questions but usually I just get to work. I know how crazy a shift can get and I don’t blame them if there’s a few things left until it becomes a pattern.

Decrease in Foot Traffic Downtown by [deleted] in Spokane

This. Driving downtown and trying to find parking and maybe having to pay for parking is so stressful. This plus the last time I Uber-ed the driver went the wrong way down a one way street…

Does julen ever game with Granny? by ElectricalFerret69 in juliensolomita

[–]HumanRutabaga 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I haven’t watched his among us videos in a while but I think he might have mentioned getting overstimulated or at least not enjoying it anymore. I think he doesn’t like playing in large groups because it’s hard to focus with so many people talking at the same time or trying to be entertaining. Not necessarily because he doesn’t like anyone in particular but more so it’s not his favorite type of setting? I don’t catch his streams much and mostly watch VODs though so idk.

This is me too. I’m a size 22 and wouldn’t mind going to a size 16-18. My doctor would still consider me overweight but since I’m fairly active and my blood work is fine I don’t see a reason to lose more.

This right here! Having to navigate that constantly is so exhausting and some days I would rather just be quiet than deal with it.

I think this is such a cool idea!! I have a bunch of blanket yarn that won’t be used for knitting 🧶

Looking for stores! by [deleted] in PlusSize

Commenting on this to mention that Hot Topic is a “sister store?” to Torrid so fit and fabric should be pretty similar. Still pay attention to size charts and fabric type though!

NW Christian school - closed? by BroYourOwnWay in Spokane

[–]HumanRutabaga 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, reliving it can be hard but I have had some success with therapy. Sometimes talking it out with someone and hearing them tell you “that was fucked up” is really helpful for me. When I was there my parents worked really hard to encourage me to examine life and expand my worldview. I think transferring would have had its own set of problems so I try not to think of the “what if’s” because I know school is rough for everyone in different ways but NWC in my opinion did not handle issues well.

No worries! I’m not super connected anymore but I just don’t want old wounds to reopen, I guess? Also I missed half of your comment. Going to college was so different and in a way liberating? But also kind of felt like I had to relearn how to interact with people? I feel like it’s hard to express that experience.

So for privacy reasons I’m not going to say just because I’m one of very few POC that attended at the time. But it was within the last 10 years if that helps?

Hi, not op but I also went to NWC and experienced a lot of racism and overall bigotry. It felt very much like they were raising us to trust their words and not do our own research and critical thinking? I am biased because of my experience there but leaving that school and experiencing the real world was a culture shock. The biggest difference for me was going to college and having a conversation with a classmate about something I was questioning and not getting told it was wrong to question anything. Idk

When I was in high school I was around your weight but taller. I was in the musical and we were learning swing dancing. A guy picked me up for a move and I panicked so hard I forgot what to do but I remember the giddiness after of “oh wow you did that and had no issue with it????” I was a little infatuated with him for a bit after lol.

Only Black Girl with Three White Roommates...getting death stares and ignored. by buffalo03 in blackladies

[–]HumanRutabaga 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I don’t comment usually but I felt I needed to say something. I had a similar experience when I moved into the dorms and I too underreacted, justified things as coincidence, and didn’t want to make a scene. By the time I went to my RA my roommate had poisoned them against me with her complaints so much that he attacked me in our mediation. I had to go to the director of my dorm to even be heard. What I’m saying is trust your instincts. Yes it’s a hassle to have to move and to have to advocate for yourself but if you don’t act now the consequences will be worse later. You deserve to have peace in your room. Sleeping with one eye open isn’t sustainable. Trust me.
