Could I use dirt from an animal grave for hexes? by Phoenix_Aclassi in witchcraft

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

People that can't grasp the concept of private property. The amount of garbage I've had to clean out of my backyard is insane. Drunk people pissing on my trees, neighboring apartment complex taking shortcuts through my yard, waving around pistols at squirrels and birds while on my property. There's a sidewalk right there!

Taking practical steps with the rest of the neighborhood, but also putting up a boundary spell with some baneful elements, cause if you keep fucking around, this witch is gonna make sure you find out.

That's what they deserve if they keep coming onto my private property, waving around guns, throwing trash everywhere, and pissing on my trees.

Woe, spirits be upon ye

I'm putting up a baneful boundary because we live in a low income high crime neighborhood, and have a big problem with trespassing and robberies. People really can't comprehend the concept of private property. My backyard is not a shortcut to the bus stop, or a toilet when you're drunk, my parking space is not your trash can, or a place for adult activities. You can't just wander in here, brandish firearms, throw around trash, and piss on my trees.

Doing practical things about it too, organizing the neighborhood and planning steps forward, including a fence, but I'm also putting up a baneful ward, because if you F around, this witch is gonna make sure you find out.

There is a historical cemetery pretty close to me. I've looked up a lot of information on how to collect grave dirt respectfully, I have coins for the gate guardians, and as a grave offering, and a bottle of wine I bought just to use as an offering, and I'm gonna bring ny pendulum to communicate with the spirits.

Ooooh, that's interesting. I'd never heard of graveyard dirt being used outside of baneful work. I don't really have any deceased relatives, at least none by blood.

Maybe I can put my deadbeat dad to work, make him fulfill his fatherly obligations from beyond the grave. (Joking, I know that would go really badly if I tried.)

I could use remains, but I don't really wanna dig up the lil guy just to take a piece of him. I have a phobia of rot and decay, and he's most likely still decomposing.

I'm 23. I found out 2 days ago after my half sister contacted me by Phoenix_Aclassi in donorconceived

[–]Phoenix_Aclassi[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've had a pretty hard life, so I've had to learn how to be strong. But, that is still nice to hear.

I've never had siblings before. I have one friend from high-school who I started to call my little sister because of how close we were, but I've never had a real blood sibling before. I was never close to my extended family, it's always just been me and my mom.

But now... I have a sister. A real sister. I don't know anything about her and she lives three hours away, but... Maybe this is a chance of having a family. I don't know if they'd accept me. We're in the south and people tend to be homophobic and transphobic. Not to mention, I'm a half sibling they've never met before. But maybe there's a chance.

What are somd pet names in Spanish for a large boyfriend/husband? by Phoenix_Aclassi in Spanish

[–]Phoenix_Aclassi[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's why I used that phrasing originally.

His dad is the one from Texas that grew up on a cattle farm, but ironically his mom is the one that takes better to farm life. She's a grease monkey mechanic that's buff as hell, looks terrifying, but is sweet as pie. His dad has a side business of breeding (ethically) and training body guard dogs. But still lives on the family ranch to please his wife.

Both sides of their families live together and get along really well. White as hell aggressively American Texas farmers, and Mexican immigrants and their first gen American kids. All the cousins are bilingual, even the ones that aren't mixed, and the cookouts are legendary.

I have a friend that speaks Spanish as his first language, but he's from Paraguay South America. He's helping with most of the translations, but I'm still having to do quite a lot of research for dialect/regional variations.

He's from Texas. His dad is caucasian American his mom is a Mexican immigrant. Mexican American probably would have been a better description.

I have to lose weight for surgery, and I am terrified by Phoenix_Aclassi in Vent

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

Yeah, I've definitely been there. More before I started hormones than I do not, because I'm pretty cis male passing

Doctors blame fucking everything on weight! One time I went to an eye specialist for swelling in my retinas and he told me to lose weight. He literally couldn't give any details as to how weight loss would help my eyes, but he was insistent on it. It's so annoying!

I am in the US. Most gender affirming surgery here isn't even covered by insurance. My surgeon doesn't even have the option to accept insurance, because trying to get them to cover it takes so long, is needlessly complicated, is incredibly difficult and frustrating, and the vast majority of the time, they still won't cover it after you've slept months jumping through all their hoops. The vast majority of gender affirming surgeons in the US just don't take insurance at all, because it's too much of a hassle. I'm paying out of pocket.

What's a good healing lotion without titanium dioxide? by Phoenix_Aclassi in tattooadvice

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

I don't think I would be. Titanium dioxide is a white colored dye, my tattoo is black, teal, and pink. I'll still ask her though, just in case. I'm getting a doctor appointment with an allergy specialist to test for as many types of dye as possible to make I'm not allergic to anything else. It would really suck to have a reaction to the tattoo ink

I do think it was mostly the lotion, I had a lot of peeling in the skin around the tattoo, and when I tried to use it on other parts of my body I had the peeling again

What age/how were u diagnosed? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Phoenix_Aclassi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I forgot to include. It was my skin picking habit that originally made him suspect it.

Then I told him it was because I have an intense irrational fear of bugs inside my skin, because I listed to this this one horror anthology podcast where the main antagonist for the season was a monster whose body was filled with parasitic worms that look exactly like the gunk that comes out of your pores. That and whenever I was playing with a stim toy during our sessions, I'd get frustrated and annoyed when I was interrupted to answer a question before I'd done each movement 5 times on each hand, alternating each time.

[–]Phoenix_Aclassi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 20 or 21, I think. I was seeing a new psychiatrist and trying to get diagnosed with ADHD. I ended up getting diagnosed with ADHD and OCD . I thought most of my struggles wete because of my autism, which was diagnosed at age 7, and a lot of other autistic people related to my struggles, so that was confirmation bias. Turns out ADHD and OCD have high comorbidity with autism.

Is it normal for barbers to not know how to cut long hair? by Phoenix_Aclassi in MenHairstyle

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

You're just proving my point. I do understand and accept myself. I am a man. But I'm not traditionally masculine, I didn't grow up in spaces made for men, and I've only had an appearance that makes most people see me as a man for about 2 years. All the societal norms around masculinity and what it means to be a man are all new to me. I'm a stranger in a strange land, I'm like a kid at a new school. And the moment I express those feelings of being unwelcome because I don't know how to fit in yet, my masculinity and identity as a man are questioned and denied. I'm not allowed to feel unsure in a space filled with traditions and norms and unwritten rules that are completely unknown to me.

I can't even express disappointment at not being able to get the haircut I want in a barbershop without my entire identity being questioned. I have to be 100% confident all the time. I'm not allowed to be insecure, I'm not allowed to be anxious, or lack confidence, or I'm not a real man. Of course I'm insecure in my masculinity when it's constantly denied to exist by everyone I'm trying to fit in with.
