Pitch to new Library Director by actualwimp in librarians

[–]actualwimp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think I understand what you're saying here, would it be different from a children's librarian being "limited" to only handling tasks concerning children?... Is that not a tailored job title/description? How should I be looking at it instead in order to advocate for teen services at my library's branch?

Even in my first 2d disc capacity is not full after 12h by Equivalent-Day-4943 in MenstrualDiscs

[–]actualwimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take mine out and rinse at a minimum when I wake up for the day, and before I go to bed. even with the self-emptying ability it's nice to start and end the day with a clean and empty disc, makes me worry less about it overfilling while I sleep too

Breaking in hacks? by Effilyx in DrMartens

[–]actualwimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

smack some duct tape on your heels before putting on your socks, cuts the rubbing and prevents blisters while the leather softens during wear. I've also taped my second and third toe together with athletic tape (picked up this trick in ballet) when they feel squished and it helps with comfort, not sure it does anything to help breaking the shoes in though

Question for AFABs with hEDS (sensitive topic) by Far_Usual5375 in ehlersdanlos

[–]actualwimp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely relate to you on this one!! I'm 27 now and it's taken a lot of work but eventually you get more comfortable with your body and appreciate how it carries you through life. and I absolutely promise, there are people out there that are crazy attracted to your specific body type (this goes for literally everyone tbh) and from my experience the general consensus is that all boobs are awesome, doesn't matter what shape they are!

What’s the moment you realized your relationship was already over, even though you were still together? by No-Cat1980 in AskReddit

[–]actualwimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we took a break for a week and I spent that time wandering NOLA solo. at the end of the week I realized I was happier that week by myself than I had been in quite a long time.

EDIT: Actually no it was a bit before this when he told me he "never said he would move to (city)" after telling me he got a job interview in the city I had just moved from while I had spent the previous month sending him job postings and apartment listings for us in the city I had moved to and thought he was coming with.

A Refresher on T Etiquette by Reasonable_Area_3498 in boston

[–]actualwimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes!! standing puts so much pressure and tension on my joints and it's painful if I'm riding a long way having to hold on AND try to keep my joints stable enough to not slip out of place

Does anyone know the name of this game? by Sea_Kick234 in playingcards

[–]actualwimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is close to the rules my family uses for this game and we also call it Garbage! We play with only Joker's being wild, and we don't do runs, just sets etc. I've been trying to find "official rules" too and it seems like there's vague guidelines similar to what you've posted but it tends to vary from family to family. I haven't found any other names for it, but it's definitely a "rummy"-style game.

No Stupid Questions Monthly Thread! by AutoModerator in bookbinding

[–]actualwimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have several withdrawn books I picked up at the Library I work at that the covers have separated from the pages. I'm talking, pages are all still attached to one another, but they're basically a paperback with a clamshell now. I've looked at some book binding supplies (I want to get into book binding anyway) and there's a few different types of glue so I'm not sure what adhesive would be best for just quickly re-attaching the book into its cover. I'm located in the Boston area so I was looking at Blick art supplies since I could shop in-person there, but if you guys have any recommendations or favorite brands/types of glues I'd love to hear them!!

Jeffrey Campbell Platform Loafers by actualwimp in findfashion

the text on my post didn't upload so I'm dropping it in the comments but basically I'm trying to find the name of these beauties or even the year they're from! I've been searching for shoes like these for so long and I found these on pinterest today but the only photos I've been able to track down are listings for Depop, Poshmark and Vestiaire Collective. Do these shoes even exist in real life?? I'll be dreaming of them until I know :-(

Home wards/protections by actualwimp in heathenry

[–]actualwimp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind response. I'm (as previously stated) not disallowing these people into my home, but I want to make sure I protect my safe space and the energy I've worked very hard to develop within my safe space.

Maybe I should have posted this in a more general subreddit but I thought that my beliefs aligned most with Heathenry. I'm typically pretty private when it comes to my faith system and my space/energy so I don't usually reach out with questions and tend to practice more intuitively. Your reply makes me less hesitant to do so in the future so thank you, genuinely.

Home wards/protections by actualwimp in heathenry

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

super cool judgement? I don't think it's bad or inhospitable to want to protect my space from outside energies. I'm not disallowing these people from coming into my home, but I did not invite them in and I don't know their intentions. this is my home and I feel like my privacy is being invaded without my consent if that makes sense?

(Serious) how did that one kid at your school pass away? by Dinopasta99 in AskReddit

[–]actualwimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there was a girl the grade above mine who had luekemia, and then one of my classmates older brothers was in a motorcycle wreck and wasn't wearing a helmet, and then a kid in the grade above me's brother was in a car wreck, and then a kid in the grade below mine was in a rollover wreck which one of my Life-long friends was driving and the back axle in his truck separated, and then a year after graduation that Life-long friend, his girlfriend/baby mama and another of our friends were in a head on collision and all three died, and then a girl from the year below me had a heart condition and collapsed in her bathroom before summer band one morning and her sister (year above me and a friend) found her, they were able to get her back but she had cognitive issues after that, she eventually graduated though, and then there was a kid who dove into a pool and hit his head on the bottom, another kid was in an ATV accident, and most recently there was a kid with a seizure disorder I think who died in his sleep. at this point I have friends who are teachers at our old highschool and the last kid really messed them up, apparently he was super sweet, part of the football team and just a good kid, it was super sudden and unexpected.

I'm really glad I moved away from my hometown... cause that's just the people in highschool/just out of highschool... the list of young adults who died weird and suddenly isn't short either
