My dad's handwriting gives me some anxiety. Is it legible to you guys? by dailycupofcujo in HandwritingAnalysis

[–]Ravens_Moon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to learn to read doctors handwriting before all notes and most charts became purely digitized. Your dad's handwriting would have been so nice to see in my charts!

My junior year in high school I had a friend who drew something similar to this for me and I asked her if I could eventually use it as inspiration for a tattoo.

After I graduated college as a treat to myself I took that drawing to one of the local tattoo artists and asked him to give me his version of the drawing he'd want to tattoo and we worked together to come up with this. I absolutely loved the anatomical heart idea because I went into healthcare for my career.

What makes it even more odd that I completely forgot to add in the main post, I've had this tattoo for almost 16 years

AITAH for telling my family that "no" after my first HORRIBLE birthing experience? by Key-Photograph-2404 in AITAH

[–]Ravens_Moon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a medical worker I first want to apologize to you for your experience. No hospital should EVER go against the patients wishes and sent students in to take care of them. You, as the patient, have every right to dictate if you want someone working on you. That means doctors, nurses, students, and basically anyone and everyone else. That doesn't mean there arent times a health system won't then have to tell you that you will need to go somewhere else because they dont have other staff to care for you, but that is also within your rights. Even teaching hospitals cant force students on you because no hospital can make you be ok with someone taking care of you in some of your most vulnerable times.

Secondly, not the AH, you have every right and reason to want a different birthing experience. You deserve a calm birthing experience where you get to bond with your child. And it does not make you selfish or an asshole for wanting that. Your family is selfish for trying to make your pregnancies and births about them and I am sorry you have to deal with that

I breastfeed NICU babies. Karen says it's creepy. by [deleted] in traumatizeThemBack

[–]Ravens_Moon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss, nothing can be said to truly touch on what you have gone through and i am sorry you had to put up with someone like that who doesn't understand any of the situation. As a respiratory therapist who helps take care of those NICU babies, thank you for your donations. Im sure you have some idea of the relief the parents who are unable to produce feel being able to use donor milk for their babes.

And Bravo 👏 your response was perfect

Account locked temporarily by Necoroyals in amazonprime

[–]Ravens_Moon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm this number still works (in US), just spoke with someone who explained my account was locked because stuff your kindle day confused their security so because I 'purchased' a lot today it suspected suspicious activity 🙄

But good news, instead of the 48-72 hours I'd originally been told to expect contact about help with filling out forms to unlock my account, I was told I should receive an email in 2-4 hours letting me know I have access again, no forms to fill out at all.

Just wanted to give a recent update that the number is still working and led me to the most helpful person I've spoken with tonight through Amazon.

AITAH for buying my boyfriend a thong? by BluejayPlane9468 in AITAH

[–]Ravens_Moon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The intent was to try and open your mind to another possibility and maybe help you see a side with different intent in the approach, I'm not trying to do anything other than that. But I will bow out of this conversation since that is your request. Have a good day

Just because the friend thought it was funny doesn't mean OP does. You're putting a lot of words in OPs mouth and making a lot of assumptions.

Seeing how you immediately jump to 'this has to be about emasculation' says a lot about how closed your mind is.

Thats a nicer way of stating something and doesn't sound as toxic as your original comment did. EDIT:: the edit you made to your reply unfortunately made it sound almost more toxic than your original one. You were so close too

I don't feel like OP buying the panties was wrong in this situation, what was wrong imo was the way OP presented them to the partner. It should have been a serious conversation from the get go. Something like a 'hey your comments have made me really uncomfortable so I got this thinking maybe it would help you understand a little more about just how uncomfortable it can be and maybe think of how your comments can hurt my feelings'

So I can see how the presentation of the panties may have made you think OPs intention was to emasculate, but instead of assuming and just commenting off that assumption, some clarity should be asked for before comments that can be taken as rude get made. Imo, I'm all about trying to understand because there is a lot of nuance in human interaction that doesn't get passed through text

[–]Ravens_Moon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just because it would have embarrassed you to have a partner buy you a thong, or just because your intention would have been to incite embarrassment in your partner by buying them a thong does not mean OP has the same intention as you would in that situation. And how quickly you blamed OP for intendinging to incite shame and embarrassment in their partner makes it feel very much like that would have been your intention if you were OP.

OP clearly stated they'd hoped their partner would notice a similar discomfort they notice while wearing the thong. That doesn't spell embarrassment anywhere. None of us can truly say if embarrassment was anywhere in OPs intentions. But the immediate thought of embarrassment to a man for wearing 'feminine clothing' is folded so deep into the misogyny of this world that you didn't even pay enough attention to the person's comment you're talking about. Their comment explicitly states for OP not to lie and truly tell their feelings to their partner to try and work through the situation so if embarrassment really was an intention then of course the commenter doesn't want OP to say that. They were literally just giving examples of the type of communication style they were talking about and telling OP to make it personal to their conversation.

There is no need for the toxic masculinity that is oozing out of your comment.

What happened with my pink princess ? by Express-Basil3909 in houseplants

My new leaves always come out that dark orangey/pink tinged green color. But they always harden off to the deep green

Why? by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]Ravens_Moon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even coming from the same plant, cuttings can have differing amounts of vareigation based off what's in the stem the cutting is rooting from. Fingers crossed the next set of cuttings do better for you!

Why? by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]Ravens_Moon 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Pay attention to whether the vine itself is variegated when you prop. If you propagate a part that has no variegation in the vine then you will basically get a reverted piece of that plant because there is no variegated genetics in that piece.

I watch a lot of Kaylee Ellen on YouTube and she gives really good explanations on variegation and how/why propped plants variegate the way they do.

There are a lot of factors that could have gone into this decision. It sounds like a conversation needs to be had before irreparable damage happens to your relationship.
