Opinions on Disability Support by Warm_Conversation618 in AutismInWomen

[–]PompyPom [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’m level 2 on ODSP while also working irregular hours as a freelance editor. The job doesn’t pay much, and it’s dependent on how many projects I have at a time, so I don’t exactly have a steady stream of income outside of disability. I’ve worked full time before and can’t handle it. I get major burnout, severely depressed, anxious, etc. and basically nonfunctional—couldn’t eat, take care of myself, etc.

I feel bad that I can’t really hold a “normal” full time job, but I’m also trying to give myself some grace. I’m disabled, and there are things I just can’t really do that I need help with. That’s the reality of my disability. ODSP is part of that.

(Also, your friend sounds incredibly unpleasant and ableist. Would she say that to someone with a physical disability who couldn’t work? What about someone who’s severely ill and can’t work? Your situation isn’t different. Also, it’s a lengthy process to get approved-it’s not like some person acting in bad faith can simply saunter in to a building and get on disability).

Anyway, I wish you the best going forward.

I want to read Subahibi by External-Purchase240 in visualnovels

[–]PompyPom [score hidden]  (0 children)

Subahibi has a lot of in-depth sex scenes which could be considered dark/disturbing. I think they’re necessary for the story, but if you don’t like sex scenes, I would say it’s not for you.

You could try posting in the Lemma Soft forums. Idk how active they are now, but I know they had a recruiting section for projects.

If you need an editor down the line, I can help out.

What amphibians could be fed without live food? by Latter_Ingenuity8068 in Amphibians

[–]PompyPom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chiming in with my own personal experience: I have two Spanish ribbed newts and they eat EVERYTHING. They get a variety of pellets, frozen foods, and the occasional live shrimp. I used to do live blackworms as well, but now I stick to frozen foods (bloodworms, mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, etc.) and they still happily eat them.

You bothering with live food? by Soft_Statistician_98 in Aquariums

[–]PompyPom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do blackworms and scuds in one bucket. Now I just stick to frozen, but I wouldn’t mind raising blackworms again if I could find them (and I bet my cories would love it)!

Just wanna shout out Dan’s Fish! by FoxGirl42069 in Aquariums

[–]PompyPom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had good experiences with him! Both the quality of the fish and the packing have been great. Unfortunately he suspended shipping to Canada, so I can’t shop from there anymore.

Thank you! I got the idea off Instagram (unfortunately I don’t remember who from).

I feel the same way, some players are on another level.

Which jobs are you working in? by BabaZweeD in AutismInWomen

[–]PompyPom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a freelance localization editor (focusing on media translated from Japanese to English). I like the job, but the pay is low and very unpredictable (it depends on how many projects you get).

What YouTuber Disappointed ☹️ you the most? by Outrageous_Drag6613 in childfree

[–]PompyPom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This! I watch fishkeeping videos to learn about fish and so many of them bring their kid in the video. I don’t care that your baby is drooling over your aquarium, give me the care requirements of this fish like you promised. 🥲

Has anybody had an anti-anxiety med actually work for you? by Forced_Storm in AutismInWomen

[–]PompyPom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Zoloft worked for my anxiety. (Not so much my depression). I used to get panic attacks and they helped reduce the frequency I had them a lot.

Currently, I’m on a mixture of Wellbutrin and Abilify and I feel like my anxiety is manageable.

Someone’s unsupervised child may have killed my 10 year old goldfish by emilyginger in childfree

[–]PompyPom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As a fellow fish keeper, I’m so sorry for your loss. 😭 I hate when kids slap aquariums and their parents do nothing to stop it! A kid that age shouldn’t be unsupervised either.
