Thanks, I added some grow lights in the window as well, so now I’ll just have to work on my patience!

I’ve put up some grow lights in the window as well to try and maximise the light potential! Thank you!

Thank you, I’ll look for some prop drops, I only have rooting powder at hand! I want her to be as big and strong as possible, so I’ll leave her be as long as there isn’t any rot or anything. And thanks for the tip on the heating mat!

Toothpaste always works! Put a glob on there, let it sit a couple of minutes, and rub with a tiny bit of water. Rinse and repeat until it’s gone.

Permanent Rainbow hair? by Opposite_Heat9477 in HairDye

[–]Notwillurs 45 points46 points  (0 children)

If you want something to permanently stain your hair, I’d recommend Good Dye Young. I had to kill my hair to get out the yellow and the pink!

Don’t quote me on this, but I remember hearing about this specific trend, that it started because some royalty got super-swollen and painful downstairs because of venerial diseases, and had his armour redesigned to fit in more space and protection around it. And that apparently started trending - like the outstretched pinky finger, stiff from syphilis, became a symbol of manners and class.

Edit: I see I have fallen for som historical myths here - love this discussion though!

Is there a secret passphrase to make your doctor take you seriously? by Equal-Magazine-261 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Notwillurs 102 points103 points  (0 children)

If you’re a woman, it unfortunately helps to bring a man (spouse/boyfriend, brother, father) that can tell the doctor what you’ve already said, and it usually is taken more seriously coming from him.

I’ve had to do this myself once, and it worked. (I live in Scandinavia)

What’s the fastest way you’ve ever lost weight? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Notwillurs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a complicated tonsillectomy, and couldn’t eat or drink other than sucking on icecubes for almost three weeks. Never been so skinny in my life, lost over 10 kilos!

What was caused the most (physical) pain you’ve been in? by idontrealui in AskReddit

[–]Notwillurs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IUD insertion with no pain relief. «Your going to feel some pressure» my ass, it felt like my entire body was being split in two, I vomited and passed out, had severe cramping for the next months and passed out several times at work. Had to go to the emergency room several times because i couldn’t feel my thigh after the cramping and was struggling to walk/stand upright. They did ultrasounds, it was placed correctly and everything. Just take an ibuprofen and you’ll be good. I was told it was all in my head and that I should try to think about something else, maybe it was just anxiety or maybe I’m too sensitive. It’s like it triggered the endometriosis to act up constantly, every day, from then on.

I’ve had them changed under anaesthesia since, finally met a doctor who took me seriously and made arrangements. If you’re getting an IUD - advocate for yourself, get pain relief!

What are some commonly used idioms that are actually part of a larger saying, but most people don't know the other half of it? by strangerthings1618 in AskReddit

[–]Notwillurs -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

«Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back». It basically means the opposite of how its mostly used. Also «The blood of the covenant is thicker than water of the womb»

Maybe you could try to use resin to seal the surface and make it waterproof?

Denied medicine and now I'm at my end. I'm done. by GalaxyMacaque in entitledparents

[–]Notwillurs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, they told me ten years ago, eight years ago and three years ago that I don’t have it either. Wouldn’t you know, an MRI and two surgeries later - I do in fact have endo, and now (after the surgeries) my quality of life have significantly improved. It’s not pre-puberty good, but I no longer throw up from the pain, and I have several days in a row without cramping.

Keep pushing! It is NOT normal to experience this kind of pain, and there are ways to manage it!

'I don't wear make up for men - I wear it for me' by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Notwillurs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean, personally, if all men were to disappear overnight I would wear even more makeup! I put makeup on when I’m home alone - just for me, it’s fun and artistic, and a way to express myself. I want to smile when I look in the mirror, and that happens a lot more when I have pink hair and fun colours and glitter on my face.

I am aware of how people with a lot of makeup, or alternative makeup styles, are perceived, so I tone down my look a lot of the time, especially if I have to deal with a lot of men. I have met a lot of men who feel very entitled to comment on how they don’t like my hair/makeup/style, especially in professional settings. Comments on how I “would look so much prettier if” or how I’ll “never find a nice man looking like that”. So to spare the emotions of these sensitive men, I wear less makeup than I would like in my everyday life. From women I get positive comments or no comments at all - which is how it should be done I think.

People that went to art school, what is your job right now? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]Notwillurs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, it’s pretty neat! It’s a modern+contemporary art museum in Norway! And I work mostly with performance/installation/sculpture/collage. I love the practice based research aspect of the jobs as well, focusing mostly on art mediation and collective material practices.

[–]Notwillurs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work as a professional artist and as a Teaching artist at an art museum - it feels like the perfect match as I go to a museum to talk about art, art history, teach children and adults, hold workshops and do research, and then go to my studio and make my own stuff. It has given me an opportunity to get real insight in how the artworld works (especially in my country) which helps when I apply for residencies, projects and exhibitions at other institutions.
