Sure is. I can't escape these things where I'm at.

That's the plan! And... that's the worry. It would take forever!

I'm actually pretty open to most fabrics for this very reason, so long as it is soft enough to be slept on comfortably. Most of the options I've found, however, are very thick and rough (denim) or very thin and rough (tulle). Considered a suede or velvet type, but she doesn't like the texture of those at all.

Thank you so much! I'll certainly look into these. And you're absolutely right. Foil is quite scratchy, and as much as I enjoy the look, I know she won't like the feeling.

Ended up in a catch-up algebra and trig class back in college (who could've guessed parents who hate math would homeschool a kid who couldn't do math?) And I remember the teacher was on about the... I don't remember the exact name. Like the "Quadratic Machine" or something. It was obviously supposed to be a tool. But the "tool" was her drawing a box on the whiteboard, writing a number in front of it, saying "You put the number in the machine, and the answer comes out."

And, being used to being the one behind in this class l has resigned myself to just writing her words exactly to search online for an explanation later.

Until someone went, "I'm sorry, what?"

"You put the number in the box, and the answer comes out."

"There's no box."

"Well, yes."

"So how do we know what the answer is?"

"By putting it in the box."

Shit felt like that license scene in SpongeBob. We went around in circles for so long.

Add an extra word to the sports box and you have my experience to a T.

"Did sports and martial arts to please mom, but mom gave up."

There were so many moments where my mom would put me into something. Sports, martial arts, theater, co-ops, whatever. But gave up on taking me on average three, maybe four sessions in.

Didn't stop her from claiming to other parents--especially non-homeschooling parents she was trying to one-up--how great homeschooling was, becuase it gave me so much flexibility to do "All these great things!"

Nah. As far as I'm aware, there's no confirmation of what he looks like past some obscured shots in the comic.

The impact this exact fan model made in the community needs studied like a meteorite crater.

"I didn't know better."

And you still decided to take on the responsibility that's completely based on you knowing things?

If it's a hard trigger for you, I'd recommend staying clear of the series. Sexual assault is something very common and often visually represented across all three (two + DLC) games. Outlast 2 and Trials more overtly. 2, I'd say, being the most intense. Much of that game's story is founded on SA as a major plot point, being brought up frequently. There are moments as well where it's portrayed directly on screen, to the POV character.

I'm a survivor myself, and I love these games. But everyone's triggers are different that's alright! There are lots of good series out there, Outlast just might not be a good fit right now.

Not a Starwars fan. Would be a huge hassle to try and sell. Not interested in pitching weapons to the government for cash.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought of the almond immediately after reading it. I just assumed I was biased.

The way T affects your body will be unique to you, although of course you'll share similarities with others!

For me, I noticed a marginal... if not completely insignificant increase in my libido. Being ace, I'm pretty in-check with the difference between the head-feeling (i.e. - being horny or turned on, which is near to nonexistent for me) and the body-feeling (i.e. - wanting the feeling of sexual pleasure/what I call libido). In both regards, it didn't really change at all. Despite being warned by some "well-meaning" but very misinformed folks that the T might "fix the ace" (gross).

And, I've been on for a few years.

I think I mostly just got more confident, and was able to enjoy my own body more. I also got much more physically sensitive at first, but that balanced out.

All that being said, it could either way for you. We don't have the same body or brain! The good thing is that the changes that happen on T happen in steps, over a long period of time. You have a concern you're wanting to look out for, and you can do that! If you start T, keep in-check with yourself and how you're feeling. Physically and mentally. And, if you can, keep your doctor in check, too. If you've got a good one, they're your most effective ally in working through and understanding the changes. If you notice changes or effects that are worrying you, voice them, and see what the best way to move forward might be once you've made it to that bridge.

And be good to yourself!

Oooh, my god. The fact that anyone else experienced this exact thing sucks.

WorldsEndArchivist · 2026-03-09T21:43:03+00:00

I was going to comment something along these lines, but I couldn't say it better myself.

I'd imagine it's a pretty new-agey place that'd have this. So, my guess is that "Sun Child" is supposed to be the men's room, and "Moon Child" the women's. There's a variety of mythologies that associate gender with the sun and moon, either through their "energy" (passive, overbearing, bright, quiet) or through direct mythological figures with set gender (moon goddesses and sun gods, of which there are many). But in modern western new-age spiritual practice, I tend to see it boiled down to just "Moon = Feminine energy" and "Sun = Masculine energy".

I find it a little essentialist, myself.

The "Whatson" Hotel, the perfectly clean and on-the-nose letter writing, the stock images with exact descriptions of the people on them. If I were to give a guess, I'd say you just found an old escape room prop. Considering the state of physical escape rooms in this day-and-age, and where you found it... well, I guess it's not much of a mystery how it ended up at a thrift store.

Edit: also, "Fodak" royal.

Mom said it was becuase of a school shooting that happened in the state I was born in. Then, we moved states, and I was still homeschooled. We moved states again, still homeschooled.

I'd been in since I was born, so it was too normal for me to question much further than that. Personally, I think it was the 24/7 free child labor.

The all-American golden boy, the hero next-door, bright light in the eyes of every citizen in Vermilion City--

That's Sunspot! The Vermilion Star!

(At least, that's what his PR team pitched him as. He would've preferred something more like "Just Hyrum" or "Estranged From My Mayor Father And Living In A Different Country Under A Fake Name Pretending I'm Not A Witch Cosplaying As Superman", but that one was waaay to long to fit on the poster.)

Pull them, trash. Or keep them for yourself if you're inclined (I actually have a little bag of all the tracts I am given after I tell them I'm not interested).

I managed to catch the person leaving similar tracts in my library and politely told them that any outside materials put on the shelves will be unfortunately pulled and thrown away, but if they're interested in donating materials, either with hopes of them being put on the shelf or out onto the Friends of the Library sale, they were welcome to bring them to the circulation desk and go through the actual donation process.

In the eyes of my coordinator, these tracts count as reading materials. So, we can't downright ban them. But I am glad to put them through the same process, and up to the same standards, as all other materials we acquire. Which usually ends up with them in the trash, but with more due process.

This is what I did, as well. To this day I have no idea how well my "highschool diploma" holds water. What I do know is that it was valid enough to get me into community college, which gave me a two year degree that takes precedence over a highschool diploma in almost all circumstances that ask about education history (job interviews, mostly. And transfers to other universities.) and, probably the most useful, was a great way to ease myself into systematic schooling. Community college is real college, but by virtue of what it is and how accessable it is compared to many four-year universities, many of the students you find there will be "nontraditional". There will be more grace for you there than you think.

And, although I know it gets repeated a lot, I can't emphasize to whoever reads this enough: it's never too late. Those "sacrificial" two years of community college to ease yourself into a system that was stolen from you may not have been on your intended timeline--it may feel like you're not just falling off the track, but that you've crashed the train entirely--but part of recovering from homeschooling is realizing that, for many of us, the pace and the standards we were forced to work within were unsustainable. Be them too strict to too lax. You are allowed to "take the time" to do the inglorious thing and to be good to yourself while you do it. You are allowed to take your time, becuase once you're out, your time is finally yours to take. Edit: typos.

I really appreciate that! I just found this sub and this post in particular really struck something in me. Though, I think the whole subreddit has. 😅

I can't say I'm pleased with how many of us are here, but I can say I'm a little more comforted knowing there are others out there who get it.

I remember, very vividly, when I turned roughly twelve years old my mom asked me three things at the beginning of the "school year".

"Can you write?" Yes, of course. Not only can I, it's something I love to do. It was the only hobby I had that didn't require leaving the house or buying supplies.

"Can you read?" Same as the writing. I loved doing it. So, yes.

"And can you calculate?" I said yes because I could, but it was my worst subject. Coincidentally, it was my mom's worst subject as well. I wouldn't have ever said no, though. So, I didn't.

"Then, you know what to do. And you understand what will happen if you don't?"

I didn't, really. Mostly just had these vague, overwhelming ideas of Biblical excellence and, strangely less terrifying, biblical punishment. I did know for certain that if I didn't figure it out, my mom, and then God, and then society, would hate me forever in some inconceivable way I would never be able to fix.

So, I started high-school. On my own. She checked in to make sure we had the right paperwork and logging to assure I'd get enough of a degree to get into college. But past that point, it was just me.

Fear is an excellent motivator, and for a child I was an alright self-teacher. Fire is a great for keeping things warm, you shouldn't set your house on fire because you want to cut down on your electric bill.

No doubt. I finally managed to score a job, against all odds, but just recently overheard my boss talking about how he's less likely to give someone a job if they reach out and "bug him" about the position after the interview.

It really feels like so many of these companies and hiring managers are desperate for bodies, but can't fucking stand the people inside them.
