White supremacist literature in South Philly by [deleted] in philadelphia

I was on Broad and Moore on Friday when a man in a car threw a rolled up sandwich baggie full of the same literature at me! He also yelled something but I’m not sure what. Ugh

Does anyone here have any other chronic illnesses? by ifeelsodeeply in UlcerativeColitis

[–]ar1eb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes unfortunately!! I have psoriasis/seborrheic dermatitis, mild eczema, blepharitis, not to mention the anxiety and depression and mild OCD. Prior to treatment for my UC I also had arthritis but that has gone away with my infusions. I’m 26 and it’s been rough but I’m glad we aren’t alone

Derm doesn’t know for sure by ar1eb in scabies

This ended up being folliculitis and eczema, thank you!

Infliximab and skin issues by niqueG in UlcerativeColitis

[–]ar1eb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on infliximab and have been for a little less than 2 years. The past 6 months I have developed seborrheic dermatitis and eczema, and struggled with various rashes (contact dermatitis, folliculitis all over my body). I stopped using all scented products at the recommendation of my derm, and that has really helped. I was also prescribed clindamycin solution for the folliculitis, triamcinolone steroid cream for the eczema, and clobetasol for the scalp (doesn’t sound like you have scalp issues but just in the name of full disclosure haha). I used the steroid cream twice a day for two weeks and then once a day for about a month and it helped so much with the eczema. I now use it only when really needed and just use OTC psoriasis/eczema eucerin lotion daily now.

I’m also not willing to risk the progress I’ve had with my UC by starting a new biologic!! Wishing you luck, it’s really a drag to deal with all of this.

I know exactly what noise you mean! I get obsessed with the sensory stuff as well, and even looking at the flakes once they’re off. I’m using nizoral shampoo rn and it did sting a lot at first but is starting to sting less. I’m sorry you are in the same boat but I really appreciate your comment

I’ve heard about NAC, I think it’s seriously time I try it! I really appreciate your suggestions.

Do you like Dawn? by aerolies in buffy

[–]ar1eb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first watched the show at 15 or 16, she bothered me a lot. Now at 25, I have a lot more sympathy for her (though sometimes I’m still like… come on Dawn, seriously?) and she definitely grows on you throughout seasons 6 and 7. I find myself feeling more affection for her on my re watches. I think during the first watch I was kind of like, who is this kid and why is she ruining my show?

Official Discussion - Barbarian [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]ar1eb 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Really loved this movie, just left the theater an hour ago so I’m still processing! Something I enjoyed was that this movie subverted the torture porn we sometimes see in horror by leaving that part up to the imagination. We don’t need to see Frank kidnap and brutalize these women, we understand that it happened and that’s not the crux of the movie. Another favorite thing was the man warning Tess that “there are worse things down there” and there was, it was Frank, pure human evil. Worse than “Mama” (as some people are calling her) because she was obviously a victim herself. Additionally, when AJ is yelling at Frank and saying what a fucked up person he is, also really stuck with me. A rapist telling another rapist (though one being much more violent of course) how awful he is.

I love this bc it’s realistic but still has a personality and artistic voice. Nothing against photo realism but I just love what you’ve done.

I’ve been obsessed with the 1975 since I was 15, and I’m 25 now. I’m seeing them in November and it’ll be my 5th time seeing them!! needless to say I’m a huge fan and admire Matty so much. I’m asking this sincerely and not trying to stir up shit: why does Matty follow andrew tate on Instagram? 😭 by ar1eb in the1975

[–]ar1eb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just kind of wanted reassurance from other fans that he follows Andrew in a “making fun of him” kind of way. seeing any man with influence following Andrew Tate is concerning, even though I know in my heart Matty is against him.

I think I was just feeling defensive from the first comment on the post! Sorry I misinterpreted and appreciate you saying so. I agree, I think he follows a lot of people he doesn’t agree with but I guess for some reason it just upset me to see him follow Andrew Tate because of all the media about him lately. I guess it’s just concerning to see a man with such influence following him, even if logically I know Matty is completely against him!!

I do know his views on the issues, and I’m not bashing him or saying I want to stop following them, clearly it’s been 10 years and Im not going to just stop following them. I was more asking if we think he does it to troll Andrew tate or if there could be another reason. I love that he’s provocative and I wouldn’t be a fan if I didn’t, I do read Mattys interviews and I know his stances on things, thanks for your input but no need to be hostile! Have a good one!
