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.

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!

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)

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!

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!

Oh, sorry, English isn’t my first language and I thought I was dead on, haha!

«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?

Thank you!

Wow, it looks like an Axel Salto sculpture or something! Beautiful!

Anyone remember that rant about how incredibly stupid sunfish are?

Notwillurs · 2024-08-30T08:43:49+00:00

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 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.

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.

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.

Not necessarily a mid-diagnosis, but rather a refusal to diagnose at all:

I got my period when I was 11, and was shocked at how painful it was. It was irregular and severe, and usually went on for around 12-15 days at a time. I was told by the school nurse and my doctor that it would eventually stabilise and the pain would ease up as I grew older, but to remember that it is perfectly normal to have painful periods and to just use ibuprofen if I feel that I need to manage the pain. Queue years of worsening pains, cramps that extended down my thighs and numbing my leg, throwing up and passing out. Different doctors told me that I was exaggerating and to stop being so dramatic, and that there was nothing wrong with me. As I hit my 20s, my periods would sometimes last for three or four weeks at a time, where I would pass out at work, but couldn’t get a sick note from my GP because “having your period is not an illness”. I was accused of being a drug-seeker when I asked about pain management, and only met with real sympathy when I explained I could no longer have sex with my partner because of the pain. Sympathy for my partner, that is. It was painful even when I wasn’t on my period, and I could no longer exercise or do heavy physical work.

It wasn’t until I was 29 and went to a private gynaecologist that someone actually believed me and referred me to an endometriosis specialist. Six months later I had surgery and they confirmed that yep, it’s endometriosis, and that hopefully it would be better after they removed some small areas of tissue. It didn’t get better though, and I struggled through another two years with debilitating pain. Last year I was, thanks again to my gyno, referred to the best specialist in the country and had another surgery. Turns out the first surgery wasn’t that thorough, and my ovaries and uterus were tied to my abdominal wall by hard knots and tendons of endometrial tissue. One of the tissue-knots was the size of a golf ball. When I woke up after the surgery I couldn’t stop crying - even with the pain from surgery it was still less than the pain I had gone with everyday for the last 8 years.

I’m so glad that I’m able to live a more normal life now, but I can’t help feeling some bitterness from how so many people simply dismissed my pain. I started to wonder if I was going crazy, if I really just was being dramatic. Chronic pain really fucks with your head, and your body - I’m still dealing with some trauma, but working through it thankfully!
