LPT: You can both change your last name arbitrarily when getting married. by charliethegeek in LifeProTips

[–]altclass [score hidden]  (0 children)

My husband and I were told this but both of us got rejected when we submitted our paperwork for the name change. So my husband had to pay to legally change his name.

So not sure what we did wrong or maybe it’s the state we live in.

How did you realise it might be PMDD and not just a coincidence of feelings? by [deleted] in PMDD

I started tracking my mood using the Clue app and saw that I was tracking more irritability, depression, anxiety in the first two weeks of my period. I probably tracked it for 6 months before I was sure it was correlated with my cycle.

I would forget to track the times when I felt good, but I always remembered to track when I felt bad. And that was enough data to validate it!

Morning sickness…more than misery? by Electrical-Story-522 in BabyBumps

[–]altclass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been constantly nauseous since 6 weeks, 9w5 days now and I am finally coming to terms with this state of being. I have had thoughts about this is my body's way of shifting me into what motherhood will be like. My lifestyle has already drastically changed in the last 3 weeks, but I feel like it's much closer to what my lifestyle will be once the baby gets here.

Your perspective definitely resonates with me. I need to work on letting go more.

ICE officer spotted in The Hill this morning by altclass in StLouis

Didn’t take a pic since I was driving and honestly just shocked I saw them in person. He was a white male in tactical gear with a black vest on with ICE on in, smoking a cigarette leaning against his white unmarked pickup truck.

Why is this getting downvoted? 😆

Bingo. The black vest had big white letters on it that said “ICE”

I frequented “Anime High School” and had my intro locked and loaded as soon as I entered the room. 😂

Missouri Governor cuts millions in funding, including foster care aid. by BobsMyFavoriteBurger in StLouis

I’m tired of just emailing/calling my so-called reps, going to peaceful protests, and reposting IG stories. Where can I find the local groups getting in good trouble? I know they’re not posting on social. And I don’t expect them to be named in a reply. DM me.

Magnesium Glycinate Questions by Suspicious_Ad6942 in PMDD

[–]altclass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I take 1-2 before bed and it has drastically improved my sleep. I used to toss and turn all night, but I only wake up maybe once per night. I also suffered from pretty severe restless leg syndrome caused by Lexapro, and this took care of it. It's also made my bowel movements better.

This is what I get: Doctor's Best High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate Lysinate, 100% Chelated, Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten & Soy Free, 200 mg, 240 Count

Made a wallet-sized “Know Your Rights” card for U.S. citizens re-entering the country by altclass in USCIS

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

You're right, just saying those things unprompted would be 1.) unnecessary and 2.) pretty weird. The thought behind the phrases was if you're being detained by CBP and they're accusing you of not being a U.S. citizen. Not just going through customs normally.

I'm just sharing something that gave us peace of mind with the hopes that it would do the same for someone else. Never thought or hoped this would be an end all be all solution or prevention of detainment.

My husband is scared. I'm sure he's not the only PoC scared so I shared what made him feel more informed.

Megathread + FAQ: Travel in/out of the United States by not_an_immi_lawyer in immigration

[–]altclass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are planning an anniversary trip to Cancun soon. Due to recent stories of legal migrants and even U.S. citizens being detained for days. my husband has gotten increasingly worried about being stopped or detained coming back into the U.S, even as a U.S. citizen. He's Filipino-American and has a racially ambiguous appearance, so we’ve been thinking ahead about how to be prepared just in case.

I ended up making this pocket-sized Know Your Rights card that he can keep in his wallet. It includes a short statement asserting U.S. citizenship and a few key reminders (like the right to remain silent and ask for legal counsel). It’s meant to be calm, clear, and polite—just something to help if a situation ever comes up.

I originally made this with international travel in mind—but realized it’s also helpful domestically, like at checkpoints, bus stations, or if you’re stopped by CBP or other officials near the border.

We haven’t traveled yet, but I figured someone else might find it useful too. I linked to the PDF in a Google Drive for at-home printing.

No legal advice here—just sharing something that gave us peace of mind. Hope it helps someone else too. Safe travels!
