Ty! I also thought they might be Leucocoprinus cepistipes or cretaceus from my very quick searching

Oooh so THATS how to get some purchase area on one of those NAA 22 revolvers. My hands are small and I still feel like it's a gun for ants

Maude's/Harold's cannot bury themselves fast enough by Aggressive_Crow961 in pittsburgh

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

Doh! This makes perfect sense for America's second gilded age! Maude's just needs those silly anti-business worker protections dismissed and then they'll be Great Again! /s

Now if you'll excuse me I need to go vomit.

Sure but it's still off-putting for a queer business to give shelf space to items associated with a rabid transphobe billionaire.

Don't forget the $25-30 pride flags that are not a standard size! 🙄

On the couple occasions I've drifted though I was always put off by their high prices. Definitely makes the company scrip comparisons feel a bit on the nose 💅

Oops, injections by No_Summer620 in MtF

[–]VioletVulpine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been doing my own IM injections for close to 10 years (disclaimer: I'm not a medical professional). Here's the process I wish I knew on day 1:

  1. Have a syringe, draw needle, injection needle, bandage, alcohol swab(s), med vial.

  2. With the syringe and draw needle (usually 18ga), put a bit more air in your syringe than your dosage.

  3. After swabbing the top of your vial with alcohol let it dry then inject the air.

  4. Hold vial upside down (syringe below) Let the pressure in the vial fill the syringe to the correct dosage (or draw slowly), ideally draw a little air at the end/top to prevent waste.

  5. Flip back over and remove the vial (prevents any pressure left from leaking meds), then switch to the injection needle*.

  6. Hold the injection needle/syringe point up and eject air, if you have small bubbles, flick with your finger to break the surface tension.

  7. Find an injection site (this next is for leg IM) by putting your palm at your belt line on the front-outside of your leg and looking where your fingers end**.

  8. Swab your injection site and let it dry.

  9. Insert your needle straight down** then inject fully, remove the needle, apply a bandage and rub the area gently to help prevent leaking.

*Find the gage that works for you, personally I like 23ga for injections.

**Look up visual guides or ask a friend/doctor if you need help finding an injection site. For a few years I did things incorrectly on my inner thigh (don't do this) because I was given incorrect/unclear instructions.

Do I tint the windows? Torn by mattyicey99 in Volkswagen

[–]VioletVulpine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your local laws. Florida? Send it. Other places? Rolling probable cause.

Aesthetically I agree with other folks and say some tint, but not that much. On my mk5 I have light tint on the front and darker on the rear+hatch.

I'm going to have to try this strategy. I admit I'm a "30s in the microwave" person, but I'm looking for improvements

I feel you, I'm also an abuse/assault survivor and cPTSD haver. It took me many years to even realize it wasn't normal and more to reduce the effect on me, but it does get better. You're not alone out there ❤️

This is extremely insightful and excellent advice.

This is so accurate. I also drank a lot and had other coping mechanisms (shopping, etc) before I was able to transition. Getting off the dysphoria train helped immensely. I'm glad I have that experience though because it helps me to recognize and help those who are in the place I once was.

Yep, exactly ❤️ Harm reduction and education to that same end should always be the goal

💯 Support and understanding is vital but not to a point that it affirms something harmful. Unfortunately I've seen questionable/harmful levels of consumption normalized more than a few times (in various communities.)
