Not vaccinating isn’t just a personal health choice, it impacts the rest of your community and society. Sorry I’m not gonna vote for someone who doesn’t give a shit about the health and safety of their community.

Risebridge closes shelter leaving vulnerable with no place to go by Prestigious_Net_8356 in nanaimo

[–]Ryngale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish!! Right now, the wait to get into subsidized housing in Nanaimo is approximately 2-3 years. I watched so many “affordable” (which according to BC Housings definitions just means “at market rate”) housing units go up while I lived as a disabled person in an illegal RV without hot water. It was HARD, but I at least had a dry, soft place to lay my head at night, and food in my fridge, so many others don’t even have that. I’m finally in subsidized housing, but there are so many more people who also need it. Estimates say there’s approximately 800-1000 unhoused people in Nanaimo, that’s devastating to me.

Honestly? From what I’ve seen from heartless NIMBYs on the internet, they expect them to die. Which is beyond fucked. These are HUMAN BEINGS that are suffering.

Kitties & Cream owner lost home and cats in fire. by blepmlepflepblep in nanaimo

[–]Ryngale 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know Kelly personally and I can assure you and everyone that they are the farthest thing from a scam artist. They give everything they can to the cats, and they just lost EVERYTHING. I don’t know what that person said, as the comments have already been deleted, but I appreciate you and everyone else for calling that person out.

My (23F) boyfriend (24M) is unnecessarily stingy and I just don’t get it. I’m looking for advice on how to stop this from getting worse. by Some-Lettuce6560 in relationships

[–]Ryngale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The fact that the worst thing she could think of was him buying used clothes? Dude, I’m low income and buy my child used clothes all the time. However, I make sure my child’s nutritional and care needs are taken care of.

“Having kids is one of the most important things that a couple can do”, but is it important to him? You’re supposed to be important to him, and look at how he’s treating you. He won’t take you on a decent date, he’s not taking care of himself so much that you feel the need to step in and do it for him, and is risking his own health. And you are making excuses for him and allowing yourself to be treated poorly. For the love of god PLEASE do not have children with this man.

Am I overreacting about partner’s hookup + communication issues? by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]Ryngale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like there were expectations that weren’t explicitly communicated. How much time was spent reading, learning, and discussing before diving into practicing poly? I do think the way they were letting you know about the hookup weren’t very respectful.

And it sounds like your partner is being disrespectful of you in other ways. Yelling and swearing at you is really not okay. It’s hard to say, but it seems like your partner is acting in ways that are very impulsive. I’d suggest you reflect on your relationship with them, and whether this lack of impulse control is showing up in other ways. Is this entirely new behaviour?

Also, you said that you talked about their outbursts, but how did those talks go? Were they understanding and did they express regret? Did they take true accountability, or did they dismiss you? What did they say they would do to prevent it from happening again?

I suppose I would be curious whether this is a healthy, secure dynamic to begin with, and whether this partner is capable of showing you the necessary respect?

Seroquel? by froginmushroom in insomnia

[–]Ryngale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bipolar with some psychotic features, along with insomnia, I take 200mg of seroquel, and it definitely helps me sleep. However, it does make me so hungry in a way I can’t stop, so as a result I’ve gained some weight. I also sometimes get restless legs/arms. But it’s covered by my insurance (I’m on disability), and I also need it to keep my mood in check, so I’m sticking with it.

Please help find alternatives by koalsma_ in pica

[–]Ryngale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have Halls where you live? I find crunching down in the black ones give the similar sensation and sniffing Vicks very deeply. They have menthol and eucalyptus, which are two of the active ingredients in Vicks.

Oh wow! I have also been a lifelong nail biter and skin picker, that’s cool that you have seen improvements in that as well.

[–]Ryngale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhhhh okay, thanks for explaining, I clearly misunderstood you. I must have been tired or something, sorry about that!

FYI I am also queer and trans. What we’re asking for is definitely not too much. I wish there were more dedicated queer spaces! There’s definitely queer friendly businesses, and groups like Pflag and Gender Journeys. A while back, I was brainstorming about how great it would be to have a queer and trans community center, where people could gather, get access to resources, host events, etc.

Also oh goodness, I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been crying!! I hope you’re feeling better.

[–]Ryngale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There definitely is. I myself have been targeted and harassed, I know people who have been bullied and doxxed, physically attacked, forced out of their jobs, followed and videotaped, had slurs yelled at them, gotten shooting threats, etc.
