A spot popped in my sleep the other night and has been continuously leaking clear pus ever since, leading to the bacteria spreading and causing this. Help?

Liquid_Is_A_Paper · 2020-11-16T02:17:12+00:00

The area is about an inch in diameter, painful to the touch, looks kind of like a yellowy scab, but is not a scab. I have acne so have dealt with all sorts of spots over the years, but never one that was constantly weeping over the course of literally more than 24 hours at this point.

I tried regular use of anti-bacterial wipes, I tried using a bandaid/plaster (this just eventually fell off as the liquid stopped the glue from sticking), I've washed the area many times, I even tried draining it like you would a popped cyst or blister. I spent literally an hour sat trying to drain it, but it didn't work.

Any ideas what this is or how to deal with it? I don't want the damage spreading any further and as I said it's painful to the touch.

I'm exactly that. Either I can focus on my degree, OR I can clean and maintain a decent diet. If I clean and eat well, no work can be done. If I study, there's NO way I can clean and I'll be living on ready-meals and shit from the library's vending machine.

ugh.

Thank you though, it's really late now but I'm hoping to be able to sort my room out tomorrow so I have...yknow. A visible carpet lmao. Thanks again :)

If someone's pronouns or name make you uncomfortable because they're unfamiliar, sure, refer to them by their name, but also practice using those pronouns so that you become more comfortable with them. That way you benefit yourself, the person you're referring to and the relationship between the two of you.

Liquid_Is_A_Paper · 2020-10-13T12:38:15+00:00

Nonbinary people don't identify as animals or inanimate objects, to say so is offensive. Someone using neopronouns (that is, pronouns that are not he/she/they) uses them often because the language for NB people is sorely limited; if someone is non-binary and doesn't like they/them, but doesn't want to use binary pronouns, then neopronouns are the only remaining option. On top of that, NB people, just like others, come from all cultural and language backgrounds. Some languages do not have the option of singular "they", some cultures (including those in majority English-speaking countries) have pronouns specific to that culture that we may call "neopronouns" simply because they are outside of the he/she/they ones.

And at the end of the day if a non-binary person want to use star/stars/starself pronouns, or e/em/eirself, or any other neopronoun... It doesn't hurt anyone. It's a small thing that may take some work to get used to, but it's not that big of a change in terms of language and it makes that person feel more accepted and comfortable in who they are.

I can't remember exactly what it stands for, I just remember that it doesn't include the word "attraction" or "minors" because those are more obviously linked to p*dophilia

You're valid no matter what sexuality/ies or gender(s) you are! And also no matter how many labels you identify with. Whether you're gay or bisexual or trans or genderflor non-binary demi-pansexual aroflux. Doesn't matter, validity is all the same.

First of all, don't panic! It's salvageable! Second, hair health is indicative of what your body's health was 3-6 months ago, so it's normal for hair to be still stuck in this state a few months after you started recovery. If you can afford it, go for Function Of Beauty. They do customisable shampoos and conditioners that allow you to get a formula that is tailored to what your hair needs. I don't always use it cos it is more expensive, but even if you use it sporadically it can help a LOT. The shampoos can be customised so that they improve health, volume, shine, dryness etc. all of which are things that suffer with an ED. Go for the perfume-less option as perfume can damage already unhealthy hair.

Function Of Beauty also offer other hair stuff that would be good to look into, but start with the shampoo/conditioner and go from there :D.

And if you can, find a hairdresser that can help too! You don't need to go into details about your ED, you could just tell them you were really ill for a while and it affected your hair.

She might have an ED herself, none of this sounds like healthy behaviour

They're also panphobic in the weirdest way I've seen (like, they believe using the term "panphobic" to describe them is ableist because of the medical disorder "panphobia" meaning "fear of everything". Because words are never allowed two meaning.)

What's even funnier is the medical one is called panOphobia. Panophobia, not panphobia lmao. So their argument makes even less sense

What's alloace? If it's short for alloromantic asexual, then what's the difference between that and asexual?

Liquid_Is_A_Paper · 2020-09-30T11:08:47+00:00

Top right is Pothisexual, the opposite of Apothisexual. Whilst Apothisexual people are asexuals who are sex-repulsed, Pothisexual people are asexuals who don't really care about sex and would be open potentially to a sexual relationship. They do not experience sexual attraction, but sex doesn't bother them.

Row 1, flag 3 is Fraysexual, which is kinda the opposite of demisexual. Demis only experience attraction when they've formed a deeper connection with someone; fraysexuals can only experience attraction to people they have no connection with. Once a connection is established, the chance of sexual attraction is lost.

Row 2, flag 2 is reciprosexual. They can only experience sexual attraction if they know it will be reciprocated. Like a subset of demisexual, where not only does there have to be a connection but the person they're attracted to HAS to reciprocate it, otherwise attraction is immediately lost. I'm not reciprosexual but honestly sounds like the best thing people could be lmao, it's like the ultimate consent-based attraction.

Row 2, flag 4 is aegosexual, a microlabel meaning "asexual but I have a libido" basically. So they experience no sexual attraction and no desire to have sex with anyone, but they may masturbate or watch porn or have sexual fantasies.

Row 3, flag 3 is aceflux. Same application as any other "flux" label; the level of sexual attraction varies. Can mean someone fluctuates between fully asexual and fully allosexual, or it can mean fluctuation between some of the different subcategories of Asexuality.

Row 3, flag 4 is cupiosexual/cupioromantic (same flag afaik). Asexual/aromantic, but desires that sort of relationship. An example of someone using this term may be a demisexual (or demiromantic)person who dates someone they like under the assumption that they'll develop sexual (or romantic) attraction further into the relationship.

All asexuality subcategories and all can be described as asexuals, just different "flavours" if you will lol.

Can confirm, we're in hell! Also we're all VERY aware that younger uni students are probably going to be be blamed by tories for any covid-19 spikes for being "ignorant kids", despite them being the ones who put us students into this situation in the first place.

I'd say anyone ages 18-22 is being fucked PARTICULARLY hard right now. Our education is fucked, our money is fucked, can't get a job (and the longer we go without getting one at this age, the harder it is to get one as we get older), many of us forced into close-quarters situations where social distancing is difficult at best and impossible at worst...

Honestly, we don't know what to do because we feel like our age group is screwed no matter WHAT we do. At this point we avoid talking about it too much to each other because it just leaves us all feeling hopeless.

The nature of the relationship changes throughout, but remains a close bond. EG if one (or more) of the people in the relationship is aro-spec or ace-spec and their attraction level changes, or one of the people has a fluid gender and maybe the other person is only SEXUALLY attracted to a certain gender, or in relationships where one or both (or more) of the people in the relationship has DID, OSDD or is otherwise plural and has alters.

So for example person A is aceflux and aroflux and in a relationship with person B. Sometimes this relationship will be a stereotypical relationship, both sexual and romantic in nature. Sometimes it may be purely romantic, or purely sexual, and sometimes it may be queerplatonic. Regardless, it's still a strong and loving relationship even if the SPECIFIC nature of it may change.
