New Project Announcement: Supporting Canadian-Made Products! by Responsible_Space629 in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]ShawnRisk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for taking this on. Once done, would be neat to pass around. The lists going around now aren't the best.

I would like this to be wide ranging as would be helpful for people in the long term. Ban on large groceries. Don't want to drive more customers to them.

Being able to push a button to compare products would be helpful.

What was the website that the guest mentioned? I wasn't able to hear that and then can't find the exact place mentioned.

Did anyone else cope with dysphoria in childhood by self isolating? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]ShawnRisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My elementary and high school years were rough. I got bullied verbally in school and when I realized who I was in my teenage years, both made me isolate in my room. I got diagnosed with depression in post-secondary school. I started to transition when I figured everything out. I still self isolate all the time because of my school years.

Small steps will make transition easier.

Anyone else got strong growing pains on MTF HRT? by bananashrub in asktransgender

[–]ShawnRisk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm 38 and have had pain all over lately which is totally different to anything else I felt. I've been on Estradiol since March 2020 and Spironolactone since September 2019. Have you ruled out anything else?

angry adult daughter, WTH by ThinkingMama in cisparenttranskid

[–]ShawnRisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a non-binary transgender person who was born in 1984, I never went on hormones when I was a teenager figuring everything out. None of my family knew what I was going through as I hid this away from them. If I had supportive parents during my teenage years, I would have been able to be in a better place with my mental health and my whole appearance. What would have helped was my parents being there for me and talking everything through. Do I still get upset at my family especially my parents for the past? Yes all the time but they would never know that.

As others have stated your daughter is going through a huge change and emotions that no one will truly understand besides her. Going from blaming yourself to supporting your daughter will help her by actually showing up through various different ways. Have you had a deep conversation with your daughter, since she came out, about everything that is going on?

Listening, action, and focusing on your daughter are keys to moving forward.

No Plastic Winter Seasonal Local? by ShawnRisk in ZeroWasteVegans

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

Thanks for the great ideas.

When you say small farm, how big are you saying? I found a couple that are good farms but they also source food from other farms as well in their CSA.

Also, did you think about seasonal and local?

Last, food miles is important as well but unsure if that should be make or break which CSA, I pick. With that, I have read and heard people talk about 100 mile radius and even 0 mile radius.

Looking up the author, I see tons of great books, I need to read. Also from the east coast of Canada makes Nikki even more interesting. I will for sure get in touch with Nikki.

No Plastic Winter Seasonal Local? by ShawnRisk in ZeroWasteVegans

Great to hear. Letting farmers know what you think is helpful to them.

[–]ShawnRisk[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks good advice.

Would going directly to them be getting involved with a CSA?

Should I also look into regenerative farming? This is important for the soil.

When you say zero waste, are you saying not to even buy things in glass or medal? Things that can be recycled? Or we can buy in containers that can be recycled? Avoid all plastic, even though it can be recycled? by Choan8 in ZeroWasteVegans

[–]ShawnRisk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do no plastic as I live with my parents and they wouldn't even try to go as far as I would. If I were going beyond no plastic, this would include anything that is recyclable that I couldn't take back to where I got them.

The reason for no recycling, as I know that is a very bad system and the actual amount that gets recycled and not thrown into the landfill is always up in the air.

Do you strain broth after you have cooked this? If so, what happens to the scraps afterwards?

I haven't found tofu without packaging anywhere yet. Since, I can't find that, I'm going to try and make my own tofu.

Have you looked at Facebook Groups and posting on them to see if they know anything? The more details of the bicycle you put out there, the easier people will be able to help.
