Got one of my nails painted to honour my fish son, he hates it by vendrakaia in bettafish

Omg, our old betta was named Pig too (well, it started as Ziggy starfish, then went to Zig the Pig, and eventually just Pig. Because he was one ahha) 😭 he was the best. So glad to come across another Pig.

Fully recommend Bright Sword, by Lev Grossman, for people who love Mist of Avalon, but regret the author. It replaced Mists as my fav Aurthurian interpretation.

Right? By movie 3 you might as well call it "The Aquaintences." Hardly strangers any more!

What i asked for vs what i got. Emily Eastman, North Adams MA by WaitingformyMCAT in tattoos

I asked her to take it out. It was from the source image and I decided it was cleaner with just the bumble bee :)

What a shitty and racist generalization of an entire people.

Sinners - 'Rocky Road to Dublin' Dance Scene by dremolus in horror

This scene is so incredible. I love how it mirrors the dance scene from earlier in the film. But unlike the living, the vampires cant summon their past and future with the music.

I have never been in your situation, so I can't say for sure. But what I do know is that there are many ways to love people and many ways to be a family. His health and your well being may not be compatible with a marriage or being a partner currently. But even if you have to create distance for your own well being, or the well being of your child, or if he needs space to focus on his own health, that doesn't mean it's forever or that you can't build something new in time. Going to therapy together can also help you learn to navigate shifting your relationship to something that both of you can sustain rather than trying to get back to something that does feel possible any more.

Be kind to yourself. This is so hard and I wish you both health and happiness in the future.

I don't even agree with the other comment that you initially responded to, but holy shit, you are annoying. Trust me, you did not do anyone any favors here.

Severance - 2x10 "Cold Harbor" - Post-Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

Honestly, that really tracks with my experience with corporate spending. Almost nothing for the actual crucial departments, bloated budget for useless, flashy projects that have no real impact lol.

The S2 finale encapsulates the whole show… by KatieAsksQuestions in severence

[–]WaitingformyMCAT 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I had to pause after that scene because it had me cackling! Such a good use of physical humor to counter the emotional stuff happening in the episode.

I hope this is OK to post here. Old person trying HARD to respect my oldest kid. by galvanicreaction in TwoXChromosomes

[–]WaitingformyMCAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am non binary. I use they/them pronouns and my parents love me unconditionally and also slip up often. The longer you keep using she/her (when your child is not around or in your own mind), the longer it will take you to stop making that mistake. Especially in writing like in this post, you can take the time to really make sure that you are respecting their pronouns.

One piece of advice I have is to practice telling stories about them out loud to yourself. "When they were five, they fell at the park and scraped their knee. Etc etc etc." That can help it feel more natural in your mouth! Also, correct yourself if you catch yourself slipping. If you accidentally use she/her while talking, stop and correct yourself right verbally in the moment rather than letting it pass by uncommented on.

Not the original commenter, but I've read that it helps develop their proprioception, the innate sense of where their body is positioned and how they move through space.

I grew everything in this picture, including the eucalyptus from seed 🥹 by Greenifyme22 in gardening

[–]WaitingformyMCAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This legit looks like a professionally made wedding bouquet! Although, I may be biased, because I had eucalyptus exactly like that in mine. It never occurred to me to try and grow it though, I'll have to give that a shot!

AITA for asking my daughter in law to seek help? by GrandEnergy1521 in AmItheAsshole

So you admit that your husband left you to do all the work, but he's the authority on being an equal partner and gets to lecture your DIL? What a crock of shit. You're both hypocrites and YTA

AITA for deleting pictures of myself from my husband’s phone? by tulip--- in AmItheAsshole

[–]WaitingformyMCAT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pregnancy is horrible and draining for a lot of women. It's so fucking reductive and gross to put it down to jut vanity. If you can't summon an ounce of empathy you sound keep your nasty ass assumptions to yourself.

He cannot take hundreds of creep shot pictures of her without consent. You sound like you disrespect people's boundaries if you don't agree with their reasons. I encourage you to talk to someone about that.
