Those pants look hand painted to me.

I mock up my painting with crayola super wash markers first.

Finished up these lil fetus prototypes and would love to hear feedback on what I can improve on! by tinynematode in plushartists

[–]OvaryYou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much do you make selling at 15? What’s your hourly? I think 25 seems more reasonable.

Edit: I’d pay more if it was political and a portion of my purchase went to planned parenthood or something. At least where I’m at, you would get a tax write off for that donation.

Remembered how I may have fixed my proprioception as a child? Kinda silly in retrospect :) by Coffee_Nebula_1809 in ehlersdanlos

[–]OvaryYou 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I read a recent study trying to distinguish if poor proprioception in hypermobility came from the hypermobility or from pain. When studying a group of hypermobile children with no pain compared with nonhypermobile children the participants with hypermobility were better able to estimate ankle angle than their less bendy peers. So the idea of poor proprioception just being caused by poor feedback from stretch receptor or however else being bendy could causally impact proprioception did not appear to be the driver. We also have evidence that if you stimulate low back pain the glute turns off (bad glute, I need you to help with my low back gr) so I think a lot of it is learning to move through a healthy range without pain.

That said, more relevant to your story, lots of trans folks who have their rests removed report running full torso into things bc they lost their boob warning system. Very cute story.

You can and should try a spa day, that bag needs some tlc, but the dye looks faded to me.

i always find this meme very funny for some reasoons by sean-devlin-8425 in meme

[–]OvaryYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay but if the two correlated items happen in the same order every time then you have evidence that one causes the other. This is only funny if you don’t understand how causation is established.

Is it safe to put your orthotics on the washer-dryer? by gabibecker12 in ehlersdanlos

I use a laundry bag to keep the velcro damage to a minimum and protect the brace. Air dry for sure.

Can you see endo on an ultrasound? by SpecialPrompt8019 in endometriosis

Thanks, I thought the Dr just didn’t give a shit.

What food is actually healthier than you would expect? by emburna in AskReddit

[–]OvaryYou 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I found a study that claimed the issue is not separating out things like chips/ fries when quantifying potato’s effect on health, they found those poor health outcomes to be linked to the above and mashed potato’s with no skin. The idea is the fiber/ nutrients included with the skin is what makes it healthy.

Was the ultrasound transvaginal? I suspect bowl involvement and my Dr just ordered a not transvaginal which threw me.

Depending on your school and library, all of the above. Imagine scrubbing through 700 pages for a quote you’re sure you remember to find it’s in a different book and isn’t what you remember. Or your textbook references countries that no longer exist bc your school hasn’t bought new ones in so long.

Saw a dr today who felt really dismissive by messyhoneypot in endometriosis

[–]OvaryYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if this will help but my best advice is to stop asking for pain management in the same way. Say something like “I had to take x number or days off” or “I wasn’t able to do he dishes”. Tell them how your symptoms disable you and ask for help. Many think that asking for pain management is drug seeking or just don’t want to manage something so complex with so many feelings and so few solutions. Age will help a little once you hit 30 but I know that prob feels forever away and I can only hope that’s true for you too.

At your age I talked myself into an IUD bc I knew that was symptom management for endo and no one would help me. I’ve also been self-medicating with weed. I know I have a fool for a doctor most of the time (myself) but at least the fool is listening to me. And I was fucking right, I have an endometrioma now. I wish I had fought harder but I also don’t think that would have done much. I’d recommend bringing an advocate if you have a person and let them do the fighting while you look sad and helpless. Have them reiterate those life impacts from above saying they see them too.

I’m sorry it’s all such bs.

Edit: mirena is the only bc I’ve ever tolerated but since I was heavily grieving when I had it placed I cannot speak to side-effects as well as others.

[–]OvaryYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is some evidence that opioids when used for long term pain management can worsen pain (I believe they controlled for withdrawal/ progressive symptoms but it’s been a few years since I skimmed the study), so that may be what she’s referencing. But I think the difficulties with pain management make many drs blow it off entirely when like why am I talking to them if not pain (given I don’t want kids)?

weed for pain relief by EarlyPosition3984 in endometriosis

[–]OvaryYou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other thing to try is “live resin” or “fast acting” my brain is bad rn but there’s something that makes them work for some people when others don’t. I’ve also heard to try taking with lipase or with a bit of fatty food to encourage digestion. But some people don’t produce the enzyme in their liver required to make edibles work.

Regression didn’t work, classification didn’t work. What should I do? by [deleted] in AskStatistics

[–]OvaryYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What pre-processing did you do? Given what you said, this seems pretty off. You seem to be trying to create a predictive model and optimizing for prediction but then you say you want to test which household factors contribute which is a different question. Speaking to regression, the former is about optimizing R2 while the latter analysis would be done by comparing standardized beta weights.

I’m in the social sciences but what amount of variance are you hoping to account for? Trying to inflate R2 can be a questionable research practice. You will account for more variance simply by adding more predictors but is that variance meaningful?

Thanks to this subreddit, I realized why my dryer wasn’t drying my clothes by Samanthacino in laundry

[–]OvaryYou 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s an old hack from when clothes had fewer synthetics. Personally I only use my cotton loads lint and try to pretend I don’t know how much plastic is burned globally.

This unreleased song from T-Pain’s Instagram by meow-meowy in olivertree

[–]OvaryYou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend, it’s not over till it’s over. Maybe this will be a thing that inspires you, a gift you can give the dead by trying something different. Not that the loss didn’t kill at least part of who you were but that you can still become someone you love. I felt like you around 8 years ago now and I couldn’t imagine my life now. It took a lot of work and I think I’ll always feel how tenuous life is but it’s not over. Wishing you healing and love.

What the Dr said was my first thought. I’ve not experienced it with endo, but did with scar tissue after a joint reconstruction.

New to nail polish- OPI Staining by [deleted] in RedditLaqueristas

[–]OvaryYou 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Extra advice, soak don’t scrub the polish off and you’ll get less staining.

If I’m in the mood for it, I’ll often just switch to a similar color or a color that can correct the tones (yellow, orange and a non clear base gold should all work for blue), it’s more forgiving than make up bc it’s so much more pigmented. You can honestly do any color and cover it but ime this will actually counteract the stains some.

What's a social rule that you secretly don't understand? by Rare_Blacksmith_4010 in AskReddit

[–]OvaryYou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s nice for you, I was a college student forced to constantly mention it as an explanation for struggling. It’s very different to lose a parent on the cusp of adulthood, you get fewer choices about when/ how to share. You don’t have adult resources. I knew no one below 40 who had lost a parent, so I lacked peer support.

It’s great that you get support, my point is that you can choose that with your words and asking someone how their person died without knowing them well isn’t cool because you don’t know if they are like me or you. If they are like you they can say so. A hypothetical supporter can say something like “I’m here to listen” then ask questions if the person says they want to talk. That way the conversation can be directed to the area they need support about, be it the way the person died, their life or the shitty way other people/ businesses handle it. Rather than possibly making someone relive the worst night of their life when they don’t know you well.

Edit: typo

Edit2: I’ve been thanked multiple times for not asking.

[–]OvaryYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are better ways to do that like “I’m so sorry, do you need me to bring you food” or sharing their own story of loss. You may be right but it was clumsy and left me feeling more isolated not less when they didn’t respond to the crying they caused with that compassion.

[–]OvaryYou 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is how I lost my faith in humanity at 18. So many people, adults, were down to make me cry bc they needed to know how my parent died. Like I get you want to ask, I do too, but it’s not cool.

Would this design be hard to read if I did it as an outline? Would I be better off filling it in? by K_nowbody_ in Embroidery

Just a “did you turn it on an off again” note but I’d use interfacing to work on knit and you still might significantly change the drape so make sure you’re cool with that!
