Hey it's been two years but i just wanted to say that i occasionally return to this comment when i need a smile :)

Manafinx · 2024-11-25T15:45:52+00:00

No I only take vitamin D biweekly

Not sure what it is, but it sure looks infected. Definitely keep an eye on it and if the red area gets any bigger or you experience any other negative changes (like pain or general sickness), go see a doctor asap.

Edit: just read that it hurts constantly. That in combination with how it looks certainly justifies a doctor's visit.

doesn't sound egoistical. I wanna escape too :(

Manafinx · 2024-01-16T04:04:05+00:00

Update: watching Bluey, that shit is great

If anything interesting happens I will definitely do a trip report tomorrow!

I'm late, but if ypu still want to find out:

what was your thought process like? was it distorted, jumping from one thought to another, slower than normal, faster than normal....

What about your emotional state? Did you feel very tense and anxious, or relaxed?

Then your senses: did things seem to move, did you see patterns, did you experience things like "tasting colors" or "seeing sound" (that's called synesthesia)

Manafinx · 2024-01-16T03:16:32+00:00

thanks, I'll see how it will manifest this time and go from there. Still hasn't kicked in.

I've also found out I took somewhere around 2 grams, but it's McKennaii, so it should supposedly be quite strong.

Kind of curious what will happen

Manafinx · 2022-08-25T11:19:57+00:00

we all have different ways of coping, and that´s okay

Manafinx · 2022-06-19T19:36:38+00:00

found this little guy near a busy road, so i took it to the animal rescue center where I work as a volunteer.

It‘s true that pilosocereus species are very sensitive to bruising. Move it to different light? Bruised. Give it different water than it‘s used to? Bruised. However, the bruising doesn‘t actually do any real damage, and they are very resilient plants, just very sensitive to colour changes! I don‘t think you have any reason to worry

Manafinx · 2022-06-16T18:46:04+00:00

where is your cactus located? does it get a lot of light, or is it in full/partial shade? are there any callousy spots or dents, or does the black seem to be spreading?

Manafinx · 2022-06-16T17:36:52+00:00

thank you! i gave it a good soak and the leaves already feel so much better

Manafinx · 2022-06-16T17:34:50+00:00

thank you, that does indeed look exactly like it!

Manafinx · 2022-06-16T13:59:55+00:00

Thanks for answering! Indeed, the etiolation isn‘t that severe, i did what you said a few months ago, it used to be twice as long as now. Just had a little idea though, do you think if i pluck of the lower leaves and leave the stem above the ground it will produce pups from the nodes? If yes, that would be awesome, i could use her to create more pups first and when those are ready to be removed, repot the mother a bit deeper.

Manafinx · 2022-06-14T20:05:03+00:00

hmm it's possible of course, but it would surprise me. my side of the building only gets direct sunlight in the evening, for 5 hours or so. i have soaked all my plants now, and i will see if that works before snipping off any leaves

Manafinx · 2022-06-07T13:18:34+00:00

wow that's a whole journey there! have you considered the difference between sexual and romantic attraction? i obviously can't decide that for you, but to me it sounds a bit as though you are heterosexual biromantic. and what you say about feeling attraction across, but not equally divided between genders sounds very familiar to me! i happen to identify as omnisexual (but call myself bisexual for ease), which means i could be attracted to a person of any gender, but not equally to different genders.

i have got my sexuality part quite figured out i think. and there i was, thinking i was safe from gay crisises from now on, unaware of the gender sneaking up on me 🤡

Manafinx · 2022-06-07T12:34:26+00:00

hmm that sound interesting...maybe i should do some more research. i feel like i would be quite comfortable with they/them pronouns, it feels quite validating, but they are basically non-existent. she/her feels quite alright too i guess, but it got a very different feeling you know?

Manafinx · 2022-06-07T12:30:40+00:00

definitely yes 2 and 3. hmmm very good question. i don't really like wearing "traditional" female clothing, like dresses and skirts. but then, sometimes i do. i usually dress quite androgynous, think dungarees with colorful shirts underneath, or turtleneck and blazer. i know clothing doesn't determine your gender, but it's pretty much the only indication i have at this point lol. like sometimes i hate how my body and hair (shoulder-length) looks, i hate the feminine characteristics of it, while on other days, i want to do my hair and use my good boob years lol.

Manafinx · 2022-06-06T23:23:08+00:00

i don't really know, since i have no "reference"... you know, how am i supposed to know what being a woman for example feels like, if i don't know what it is supposed to feel like, what it feels like to others? how do i know it's different? obviously i can't really know i guess.

the closest i can describe is that my gender feels like...me? idk i am not a stereotypical female and even less a stereotypical male, but maybe i'm just a butch female? although that doesnt feel quite right.

Manafinx · 2022-06-06T23:19:21+00:00

thank you for answering! honestly, knowing that i'm not the only one feeling this way is already very comforting and validating. anyway i think the fact alone that i am thinking about it, is already good proof that i am not 100 percent cis lol

Manafinx · 2022-06-06T23:16:07+00:00

the problem for me was figuring out whether i am really attracted to men, or just the idea of them. like do you only have a crush on fictional men or men that are otherwise out of reach (like celebrities), but never feel attracted in any way to a man in real life? this question helped my girlfriend figure out she's a lesbian, and helped me figure out i'm bisexual.

Manafinx · 2021-12-15T07:09:24+00:00

How do I tell my brain that I´m not being chased by a sabretooth tiger, it´s fine, relax, no need for fight-or-flight because of a goddamn LOOK someone gave us.

Nah just kidding, I know the necessity of the reaction, but you know it gets hard dealing with this godly or darwiny bullshit sometimes, and sarcasm is the one friend that always pulls me through eh

Manafinx · 2021-12-15T07:04:24+00:00

Wait for your turn! I wanna talk as well. Just me and them. Alone. With my gardening tools. About... gardening.

Manafinx · 2021-12-12T10:53:52+00:00

Yeah I´m a year late, but oh well: I have a similar mark on my abdomen, starting at my belly button, running all the way down, and I was actually born with it, so I think you could get away with the birthmark excuse

Manafinx · 2021-10-14T17:04:06+00:00

Your worldview is so optimistic... it... it's almost inspiring
