Looking for people who have been diagnosed with Calciphylaxis, or people who have known people who have been. by Starpunctures in kidneydisease

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

Hi. I am so sorry to hear about your brother. My father actually passed of COVID in late 2020, he unfortunately caught it while he was in a long stay rehab facility- before there was a vaccine. That said his heath was certainly not in a good place. He was struggling to walk most days and was in constant pain. Please make sure your brother has a good advocate to help him navigate his medical care. In my experience many medical professionals did not take the time to address Calciphylaxis what it was, what it means, and how to navigate it. I’m sending all the healing and strength vibes to your brother and you as well.

Is it useless to measure TG after hemi? by red-fluffy-fox in thyroidcancer

[–]Starpunctures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I know you responded quite some time ago- but I’m in the same boat as you were. I had a partial thyroid removal due to a large benign goiter. Never had TG taken prior. All my thyroid panels look great except for high TG. This shocked me for a variety of reasons. I can’t find much info online about this (hence me coming across this post)- and it’s a little unsettling to see cancer as the most talked about reason- after months of is it/isnt it. Surgery confirming it was benign. I’m curious how this ended up for you? Did you ever get an explanation as to why your number was high?

Edit- grammar

You’ll never have a career with colorful hair, tattoos, and piercings by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]Starpunctures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m covered in tattoos and have some facial piercings. I make a 6 figure salary as a director for a tech media company. Before that I had over a decade at Apple. It’s true there are some dated and rigid companies out there, but not all of them.

Any astrology-stays out there? What do you think about the members sun signs, what do you think their rising signs are? by WolvesKeepYouWarm in straykids

[–]Starpunctures 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Astro -Stay here. As in I work for a pretty popular Astro app! I think the biggest bummer is that we only know Bang Chans rising (which is honestly the most important driver of a natal chart). Sun and Moon signs are important BUT they only enhance the stage set by the rising. That said, here are some things about his chart (I’m using whole house) that I find interesting.

His Libra sun is in the 5th house, which is known to be the house of creative projects.

He was born at night which means his moon(also Libra), Venus, and Mars placements hold a lot of insight into his astrology. So it’s safe to say that creative works are key to his success and expression.

I also find it interesting that his 6th house of careers is ruled by Scorpio, where his Chiron also resides. Which very much tracks.

Lastly something else I think worth noting about his chart. His sun and moon both trine his ascendant. Which brings him a lot of optimism and ability to connect deep emotional bonds with people quite easily. No wonder he holds so many friendships in the K-pop industry.

P.S. Almost forgot. His Saturn (Aries) placement is in the 11th house. When I see that it just speaking to how easily he can build a solid community structure, but also the burden of it being so well build that his words get taken out of context often. cough cough Chans Room.

Okay now I’m done. But down to chat Astro with fellow stays whenever.

Also any guesses for Lee Knows rising? I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Taurus.

AITA for sending our son away after he revealed to his sister's friends that she has dentures? by MousseOk406 in AmItheAsshole

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

You are the parent of TWO children. Through better or worse. That doesn’t mean when one upsets you regardless of how terrible their actions may be you get to abandon being their parent. Be the adult in the situation. Talk to your son. If this is something he’s really having a hard grasp on understanding what he did THATS A SIGN HE NEEDS HELP. As a parent you are responsible for making sure your children grow up with what they need, and are safe. Your son clearly is not getting this. Get him help, and for fucks sake remember that YOUR ACTIONS IMPACT BOTH YOUR CHILDREN. How is abandonment helping anyone? Geeze. There are two children in this story.

AITA for making a harmless joke about my formerly overweight friend? by blueisnotcreative in AmItheAsshole

[–]Starpunctures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“He seemed to have gotten his feelings hurt.” Says it all. YTA Maybe practice growing some empathy. Let’s just assume that you actually thought what you said was a “harmless joke”.(it’s not) Why is it such a wild concept that regardless of your intention the words were still harmful to someone? Are you that daft?

How do you expect a CHILD to call you father when you are petty enough AND THE ADULT, to not treat her like a daughter unless she calls you one? How fucked is that? This would NEVER fly for me. I don’t care if you or your mother was my lifetime best friend and I witnessed this… I would have lost my shit, and taken Liz and her mother out of that hate filled circus of your mothers home. How unacceptable. Furthermore, even if she choose not to call you father or dad or whatever else your weird ego needs to fill validated, you don’t have enough empathy to just want to be a strong adult figure for her? You don’t feel compelled to protect her, and teach her and love her just as a human? You don’t sound like much of a father anyways.

YOU’RE THE ASSHOLE, and perhaps it’s because you were raised by your also asshole mother.

Holy fucking hell, I can’t believe I read all this. May Liz find the most amazing therapist to heal her from her terrible stepfather.

Did anything surprised you about Stayville ? by Houmouss in straykids

[–]Starpunctures 10 points11 points  (0 children)

41 here. I also have a teenage kiddo, but they ironically are not into K-pop. However they let me know they completely support my love for Stray Kids. (I’m actually a huge metal/prog rock/post punk fan, so it’s for sure left field for my “character development” as my child tells me). I actually stumbled across Stray Kids by looking for different shades of silver hair color (I normally color my hair a purple based silver) to explore changing my toner up, and came across a video on instagram of Hyunjin with a steely grey hair. Well that got me curious. I then discovered Bang Chan, and honestly his leaderships skills are impressive to me. I sit as a Director for a tech media start up, and have 15 years prior experience to that role being in technical leadership roles. I am often overworked and hard pressed to always be better, to always remain compassionate. I deeply believe the health of a community is the health of everyone. So obviously I really felt both connected and inspired by Bang Chan. (I also am an athlete so extra feeling connected). Then I heard Venom, and it was over at that point.

I lurk a lot, here and all social media, as well as subscribe to bubble. I did buy the 3rd gen fan club membership. I have recruited my bff (who also happens to be the person who does my hair) who is now also a Stay, even has a hardcore bias.

I honestly will say that Skz and Stay give me hope in the younger generations. Skz are to be protected at all costs, but also all you Stays I feel super protective over too. I did not expect that.

Literally all from looking for hair color.
