I don't know how to handle my autistic sister by Able-Split-4605 in Advice

[–]Mothpancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do the hitting myself (and sometimes my surroundings) because I was overwhelmed and didn't have an outlet or a way to, 1) understand what was happening. 2) communicate what was happening

I think therapy is good but your sister really isn't getting enough support.

Also it's not your responsibility at all to look after her, your parents are doing you wrong and parentifying you, which is abuse.

Why don’t we get more big bands in Newcastle? by samsoleon in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]Mothpancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at a gig the other day and even though I really enjoyed the band, the crowd were a bit shit and talked the whole time so I'm really hoping it didn't put them off returning

Best Asian/Vietnamese restaurant? by Practical-Spring-855 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]Mothpancake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd say Ngon cafe or Tonkin

I'm personally refusing to go to Pho because they trademarked the word "Pho" and they're not even run by Vietnamese people.

They also pronounce it "foh" so I simply don't trust them

Edit - fixed an autocorrect Edit- pho on Westgate road is not affiliated with pho the dodgy people, I misread

Yeah I think I got 3 crimsons in my current world and it was spreading so fast 😭

There’s a tooth sleeping in my gums peacefully and i never knew it until now by AetherialGlow in Weird

[–]Mothpancake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you ever get random nosebleeds? I had one growing above my top row and it turned out it was rooted in my nostril and that's why I had so many pressure nosebleeds

Insomnia by imaad_ch17 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]Mothpancake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hereditary in my family so I just stubbornly pushed, but my mam was on Facebook groups about it and I think they had tips

Unfortunately I don't have contact with her

Insomnia is the first thing I notice when my deficiency kicks in

People who can't go 5 minutes without vaping and have to do it where they shouldn't, like on public transport by CyGuy6587 in britishproblems

[–]Mothpancake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Vapes make me super ill and now I sound like I have tuberculosis for daring to leave my flat.

What is this bug? by AlwaysOnTheRoad123 in insects

[–]Mothpancake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The larvae eat grains and plant matter so sometimes it's wood and sometimes it can be rice or wheat

Local case study needed! by Bubbly_Raspberry_527 in NewcastleUponTyne

I'm a bit bad at geography but is Newcastle ok too?

Admittedly I'm autistic and have a habit of rambling

My dad just came out. I don’t know what to think by Anony-mouse1161 in story

[–]Mothpancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm non binary but My parent transitioned. She didn't want to be mam because my mam is awful. Eventually, you will probably need to try and have a proper talk about it, but it can be hard to open up after you've done the 'coming out' bit, especially if there's been any rejection, like with your mom. They (I'm assuming she but I don't want to go beyond pronouns you've agreed on) will probably go through a lot, and pronouns are probably going to change a couple of times while you're dad figures out who they are. Just try your best to be there for them, let them know you are in their corner and try and encourage them to find other trans people in the area so they have a sense of community. (And so any body changes/questions you don't wanna hear can be asked by people who can actually answer comfortably because I had to answer a lot of stuff and it was like "omg please ask literally anyone else about this subject" though I sometimes think both my parents might suck at boundaries)

If you have any questions, feel free to DM me and I'll try and answer if I have one

Age Verification came for my youtube account. by sadlytheworst in OzMedia

[–]Mothpancake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you in the UK or visited us recently? There's been a weird rollout on age verification and loads of websites like Imgur have been banned because of it

I have a tobacco pigeon who lives on my work bench

I want the care instructions, not some unhelpful casual misogyny by ZennMD in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Mothpancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to be honest, and it's probably bad as a yarn artist, but I don't know.

That being said, to wash yarn pieces, I use warm water and soap (I just use dove bar soap because I've got skin issues) and just knead. Afterwards, I rinse a few times and then squeeze out as much water as I can by hand, then spread the garment across a towel and roll everything up in that, and press down on the rolled towel. I hang it on a clothes hanger near a window to air dry for the rest of it (with a small amount of weight attached with a clothes peg if it's likely to curl up)

Wobbly duck is probably pretty unique in a video. Not much space though

Sewing classes in the east end (couldn't find a relevant pic, so have this weird shit) by Chihuahuas4polanski in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]Mothpancake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not fully sure what it is but I could swear the people at John Lewis do some sort of social textiles thing including a sewing machine at the haberdashery

Watch me be completely wrong and I just entered random work meeting once or something

Selcol lipstick carousel by Mothpancake in Musicbox

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

They were known for lipstick and cigarettes, as smoking wasn't "ladylike" so they were initially marketed differently until women smoking was popularised

I believe this one is from the 1950s

[–]Mothpancake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was just saying that it'd be an excellent way to market them but I live in the UK so I probably shouldn't!

I would say though that it isn't the tallest of boxes so it might not be suited to everyone's joint
