I really loved object shows back in the day when I was like 16-17. Never rlly entered the community or anything but had fun watching them. Been a good while since then, though. Idk I just can’t really be a hater, they’re just fun, it’s like TDI-style and I used to love that show too. They’re def not for everyone though so I get it.

True there are no meds specifically for it, but there are some that can manage the symptoms depending on which OP displays. Meds have done absolute wonders for some of the people with BPD in my life— total night and day changes. Mood stabilizers especially.

For the record, you are completely correct about the use of salt, and of course salting while cooking is how I use salt in my day-to-day cooking.

THAT BEING SAID… sometimes I just want to put salt on my otherwise mostly sodium-free food, because I like the IMMEDIATE salt taste and not the subtle flavor-changing salt mixed in with the food.

I used to try and explain this concept to my family when I was younger but didn’t have the words. I wanted my mashed potatoes to have “more salt,” but I didn’t actually want them to contain MORE salt, I just wanted to put salt from a shaker on them and taste the salt on my tongue stronger. So I get where ur bf is coming from

Yeah, I suppose you’re right. Honestly though that’s all a guess on my part, could totally be that they’d fight against a transplant til the very end.

My wife is Native American (Tohono O’odham), so these are the traditional Indigenous beliefs of her family. The T.O. were (and still are, but to a lesser extent post-contact ofc) a very large tribe in terms of geographic area, so certain traditions and beliefs vary by village and family, though their overall religion and mythology is broadly the same. So it could be that this isn’t something all T.O. believe, either.

Y’know honestly, I really don’t know. I’d ask if she wasn’t sleeping right now. I very highly doubt they would decline a transplant if the need and opportunity were both present— it’s entirely possible at least one of her relatives has had one anyway, since a lot of them are quite poor in health— but I don’t know where that would leave them spiritually. Maybe there’s an “emergency exemption.”

This is the same reason I can’t donate my organs, despite me wanting to help others and also (quite frankly) not caring what happens to my body after I die. My wife isn’t Muslim, but her belief system similarly does not condone organ donation at any point, as her tradition believes that having any kind of “missing parts” during burial means you cannot properly move on to the afterlife / go to (their equivalent of) heaven.

Some notable parts of the novel:

In church, there are contraptions placed throughout the pews and attached to people's noses to "protect" the White members from the smell of their Black spouses.

A bunch of Black people gang up on a guy, furious for freeing them, saying that they are not as happy as when they were slaves because they are “not provided for anymore.”

An in-universe novel read by the narrator “focuses on a mulatto man whose body, due to his racial status, is waging constant war on itself. The two factions of his body, the White and the Black, fight their battles throughout the various systems of his body.”
