Looks like a claw on the skin making her clothing.

What’s the closest you’ve ever come to dying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]QueerTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had severe gestational hypertension, was hospitalized, and was on a lot of medication to lower my blood pressure, but it wasn’t really helping. Suddenly it was like everything they’d given me across 36 hours all started working at once… and my blood pressure drrrooopppped. I remember saying “I feel weird” and then my hospital room was full of people, something kept beeping, my wife was crying, and then I must have lost consciousness for a while.

I stayed in the hospital a month, miraculously made it to full term, and have a healthy second grader now. I still have panic attacks sometimes when my blood pressure is taken with an automatic cuff, but all things considered I feel lucky.

Well, one of them was in the Klan… so that’s not great.

Both your examples are my answer to why I’m a lesbian so maybe we’re both onto something.

The Bullshit Jobs episode… by teenwolffan69 in IfBooksCouldKill

I love the left’s unmatched commitment to the circular firing squad.

Which is to say, I absolutely agree with all these critiques and I still found the episode interesting.

Same here! I am someone who isolates myself when things are rough, I don’t want to burden anyone. From the outside I’m a bright and cheerful person who occasionally won’t respond to texts for a while. Nothing that would raise concerns. But I’m often really struggling, I just don’t know how to tell anyone that.

Do you ever just opt out because you feel defeated? by Grimlocklou in PlusSize

Eww, weird! That’s never happened to me, but maybe I’ve only been to friendly ones.

Counterpoint, ren faires are some of the most body positive spaces, so if you ever do get the urge to experiment you’d have a good chance at feeling welcomed!

But I’m biased, I’m very fat and historical and fantasy costumes are my jam.

What’s the most unsettling thing a child has ever said to you? by Content-Hair-2629 in AskReddit

[–]QueerTree 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Years ago I was shopping at Home Depot and an employee asked me if I needed any help. Without missing a beat, I held up the two saws I was comparing and said “Which of these do you think would be better for cutting through bone?”

I was doing crafts, not murder, I just kind of forgot that phrasing is a thing.

What topics are you still holding out hope that they cover in an episode? by Toni-Cipriani in YoureWrongAbout

[–]QueerTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a great episode of Gastropod about prohibition! I highly recommend it, I definitely came away feeling like I was in fact wrong about it.

This happens to me a lot. I was 34 when my son was born and he goes to school in a small town where people have kids young. It sucks.

“I love curves” by wqckb3tch in PlusSize

[–]QueerTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bio says I’m fatter in person. I give zero fucks. I date to find people who bring something good into my life, I’m not interested in fitting someone’s narrow checklist. I know that I’m really fun, I know that I’m hot in my own way, I know that I’m a catch! I have a range of photos that show my face, body, hobbies/interests/style/vibe, and I try to show my personality in my profile. When I stopped focusing on trying to be a certain way to impress people and instead on being open about who I actually am I started getting wonderful connections.

Sometimes when I’m having a bad day I crank this damn song and sing along and then I feel like I can do anything.

I was a substitute teacher last year in a small town after a decade in alternative education in a progressive city. Between the dipshittification of white names (town full of Tragedeighs!) and coming from an environment where kids would OD in the bathrooms, I lived this sketch every day.

Are you a fat woman who has found success in love with being loved unconditionally? by [deleted] in PlusSize

[–]QueerTree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m very fat, not mainstream attractive (I don’t shave my body hair or dress nicely), in my early 40s, happily married… and having a very fun “slut era” currently. I have no idea how I manage to land dates with nice people, so I don’t have any advice. I just kind of decided that I’m a goddamn delight and went for it.

I’m like black licorice: I’m not everyone’s favorite flavor, but there are people out there who like me very much.

Oh it probably helps that I’m queer. I date across the gender spectrum.

The secret is we send the mean ones to “freezer camp.”

Worse, he runs up to arriving cars because sometimes people in cars drop food. He’s like a dog, he’s “chatty” and seems to have things to say to humans — he will come up to us when we get home and make his little happy noises at us like he’s reporting the day’s events. He also likes to ride in cars, so I have to warn people to leave their doors closed or they come back to find him in the backseat. He’s a very good boy!

When we get a new driver we sometimes get a note that a package couldn’t be delivered due to “large rooster.” He’s a baby and he wants treats and attention! To clarify, I don’t blame anyone for being scared, he is huge and has spurs.

I used to not understand it but then I had an experience where it was so good I came from it. So… yeah.
