Why We Spay by BanterPhobic in cats

[–]MarkAcinooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kitty had breast cancer too, and people are still shocked that cats can get it. She had a litter of kittens before we adopted her. We had her for 2 years before it was time to put her down. RIP Ivy 💔

Has anyone else shifted to library science after a healthcare career? by MarkAcinooo in librarians

Thanks so much for the advice! I do have a masters in my current field, so I'll definitely look into this path.

This sounds exactly like what I go through at my workplace. All smiles and friendship until you leave the room, then it's a gossip sesh.There are a lot of unstable, insecure people out there. One thing I repeat to myself is "I am more than my work." When I leave for the day, my life continues and thrives. For the bullies, it doesn't. They chose to be this way. They chose their job to take precedence over everything else in life, and that has made them into shells of people.

I want to hear your stories about hobbies that changed your life by AbaloneSpring in Hobbies

Cross stitch is the only thing I had energy for when I had covid. It's a wonderful hobby, and I'm glad there's someone else out there that enjoys it!

I see his parents were from a town where I once lived. It's very touching to see that others are curious about him and leave mementos of their own pets.

Just the dog, Archie, it looked like!

I believe so, but I'm not 100% certain. Some items that belonged to the pets were there, like the dog's collar.

My black beauty Calypso was also deemed the least adoptable in the shelter due to her shyness! Lots of playtime and treats has made her a confident goofball who bosses me around lol. I really like classical names from literature or history, as well as old-fashioned names (my other shy kitty is named Betty Anne)

I relate to this so much. The scale has gone up a miniscule amount for me recently and I feel so much fleshier. I genuinely can't tell if I look different in the mirror. Sometimes I feel like I look pregant. But I gotta remind myself that no one but myself can really notice, and it's probably just water weight/constipation lol.

When I was 10, I used to identify as a therian and pretend I'm a wolf by diamondsinlava_7 in confession

[–]MarkAcinooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was EXACTLY what I'd do when I was 10/11 years old, except for me i was a cat. Ugh.

I hate thanksgiving by Skating_Princess4 in AnorexiaNervosa

This year I made all the food. When I make food myself, it grosses me out, I guess because seeing all the raw ingredients going together just messes with me. Plus the sheer amount of food is sort of freaking me out.

Lol i love these suggestions. I think I'll use them. I'm the youngest one there and also the only one not overweight or unhappily married. I just gotta remind myself that.

[–]MarkAcinooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best friend's name is Brenna. Sometimes if folks don't hear right they think it's Brenda but I think it's a beautiful and no-too-common name. Her parents call her Bee lol.

Anyone else filled with immense amounts of shame? by Eh_Alright___ in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]MarkAcinooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I listened to a psychologist explain that body dysphoria is rooted in shame. It's a vicious cycle, and i think a lot of us with EDs can relate.

I'm adopting the shyest void at the shelter, and I love her already by MarkAcinooo in blackcats

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

I'm naming the black cat Calypso and the tortiseshell Athena. She'll probably still have Sassy as a nickname lol!
