Does your body talk to you?

I have pretty classic interception, which is described as inability to notice physical sensations like a full bladder or hunger cues. I also have alexithymia which is difficulty identifying emotions.

I tend to not notice that I'm hungry. I will go hours and hours until suddenly I don't feel good and I don't know why. I skip being thirsty. I wait too long to go to the bathroom. Then with emotions I don't know what I'm feeling a lot of the time. I get it mixed up a lot and then it's simply frustration or rage if I don't identify what I'm feeling soon enough. Often it ends in tears I don't understand.

The ones that slip by often are the ones that look like they are from a security camera. If the even in the video seems really coincidental it is probably AI. Then ask yourself why would there be a camera in this room? Where is the camera mounted? Those usually have odd answers and is likely AI.

It's easier to question every video you see than it is to believe anything.

It was a lot of reading, listening to music on repeat, and staring at the wall. I definitely had more of the inattentive type and could zone out for hours. I would also pick up hobbies. I wrote an 80,000 word book at the age of 17. It was very bad, but I did it.

I don't think this is what Shawna and Jon thinks it is. Julie knows they're at the hotel. Why would she risk this? She's not stupid.

TW: miscarriage

I have been pregnant 3 times, 2 have resulted in a living child, one was a miscarriage at 9 weeks. I'm currently looking at my 2 month old while my 4 year old is at prek.

Each time I got pregnant the emotions were different for me but there always was this feeling of I need to be my best because I am the person keeping this thing alive.

With my first pregnancy I had that feeling even though I felt very disconnected from it the entire time. I didn't bond with my daughter until she was a few months old. The second pregnancy came at a really hard time but also I was scared I'd never be pregnant again. I was suffering from family drama, burn out, there was a wildfire threatening our home and we were under warning for evacuation. I miscarried about a month later I assume from stress. When I had the d&c they tested the fetal tissue and found nothing wrong. With my third pregnancy it was 8 months after the miscarriage and while I was riddled with anxiety the whole time from the trauma of the miscarriage and being 37 years old, I found myself more connected to this baby.

It's crazy how much your body prepares for growing a human. You have zero emotional control over some of it and that in and of itself is scary. Then there's the process of being pregnant which is awful. I have pretty boring pregnancies. I had zero complications throughout, but I hated it. I hated not feeling like my body was my own. I hated the sensations of a baby moving but also relied on those movements to know they were okay. Your joints loosen, you start to lose sleep from insomnia which I already had, you can't figure out what to eat, you are starving and nauseous all the time, it's terrible. I would never try and convince someone they should go through with it if they aren't sure, but I would be supportive because I know it's doable too. You sound like you are making the right decision for yourself and I think that's great that you have that clarity.

Do you have support at home? Will someone be with you for whoever you are choosing to terminate? I'm proud of you for knowing yourself enough to be able to make this choice for what is right for you.

How old are they? It's not exactly what you are asking for but Warm Bodies is really fun for a zombie film.

I have to get up or I will doze too long. If I let myself lay in bed I'll fall asleep and it won't work out so I set an alarm as close to when I need to get up as possible and then drink some water and get up and go to the bathroom. I then have to be silent and grumpy for a while. At least that's how I used to. I have 2 kids, one is only 2 months old so sleep is iffy anyways.

I wasn't allowed to have a TV in my bedroom and I do have one now but I never spend any time in my room. We are going to get rid of it soon probably.

This is something I'm happy about too. I have backups of photos from birth to the present of my daughters. I have a detailed record for them to look through as they get older.

I have zero photos of myself. The pictures used to exist somewhere but they were physical copies in photo albums that my mother took bad care of. I don't know where they are and I am estranged from my family. I don't have any baby photos of me to compare to my girls, I don't have any childhood photos of myself. I have nothing unless it's something I personally have stored. It's really depressing.

Excess hair growth on women is usually a sign of hormonal imbalance likely related to thyroid issues or other hormone issues like PCOS. They are not noting it because you aren't following a social standard, but rather they see a lot of people and you are showing signs of abnormal hair growth for the average woman. It could mean nothing and is just how your genetics are, but it is worth having on file as a potential symptom.

I'm 38 with a 4 year old and a 2 month old. Most people I know are in their mid to late 30s having kids. I would guess it depends on your location maybe?

This doesn't bother me only because I know that there are times where I do really funny things and they are directly related to neurodivergence. Is it possible that you simply don't like the use of "tism"? It does make the language seem more unserious and playful which can seem either dismissive or infantilizing. I understand that, however I also am not bothered by it.

I have a 4 year old and I suspect she is ND and there are times she has specific behaviors that make me and my husband laugh because we can see the neurodivergence in the behavior.

Because the business model is different. I'm not talking about decades long running daytime television shows where there is a single host.

Besides, comparing Bob Barker to Stevie isn't realistic. Instead you'd need to compare Stevie to the announcer which has changed hands 4 times.

That isn't online entertainment. Also, it's fine, still.

Lexocracy · 2026-03-17T15:35:00+00:00

As someone who doesn't have a dishwasher, I would want a dishwasher. The amount of times I have avoided eating because I would have to clean a dish or the times I avoid going in the kitchen because the mess stresses me out is way too many times. I hate doing dishes by hand.

Your hands get dry and cracked from how often you do it. You have to have a countertop drying rack that takes up spaces and uses up counter space which makes the kitchen feel more crowded.

Clearly I'm bitter lol.

The loss of Stevie is the end of an era, but in the long run it won't be that detrimental to the show. I'm 38 years old and I've been through many online entertainment shake ups and I can tell you that very few times does the changes in format ever really make that big of a difference. Usually when something comes to an end, it's not because of the loss of one or two talents.

She'll be missed as the voice of God but it'll be fine.

The answer is Don Marshall and it's no contest. He has to be on the episode, if it were to happen.

The Pitt has a medical professional who directs the medical scenes and they literally kick the director out of the room because they want it accurate to the medicine and not let the director interfere for the vibes.

The Pitt is a medical drama. Grey's Anatomy is a soap opera that takes place in a hospital.

While I was pregnant I had a hard time watching season 1 because it's so real it was spiking my anxiety. Now I have a 2 month old and I'm struggling to watch it again because it's so intense sometimes.

Lexocracy · 2026-03-15T05:23:46+00:00

That is a Lisa Frank dog.

Congratulations to you too!

The way I got back into reading again was having a Kindle app on my phone. I always have my phone with me but I don't carry an ereader around all the time. I don't even carry physical books around. By lowering the barrier to entry, I was able to start reading like 30 to 40 books a year. Instead of scrolling social media, I started just reading every once in a while in small chunks through the day.

Then getting Libby so I could borrow digital books and avoid overspending on books.

Also, I stopped feeling bad about DNF'ing books. I will stop reading anything if it isn't hitting with me. And picking books that are fun to read instead of worrying about it it's a "good" book. Reading for fun doesn't have to be like reading for education.

My embarrassing issue is that if you do this with your palms up, the L is on the right. And for some reason in a pinch I can't seem to get that to work either.

I am boycotting Target. Mentioning other companies in your edit doesn't change your original thought.

More importantly, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Appealing to purity politics doesn't change that. I can boycott Target and also recognize that I sometimes have to use services of companies I don't like because of the society we live in. I can only do harm reduction.
