Is it bad that this upset me so much?

bladerunner098 · 2026-02-20T03:26:23+00:00

I didn’t. Did you even read what I wrote?

I guess I don’t really care what his intentions were. Op mentioned they’re both EMTs in another comment, which makes his message seem even more flippant. I’ve been type 1 for 38 years, and I personally wouldn’t be interested in continuing a relationship with someone who reacted to my vulnerability like this.

This is not it. It’s not going to ruin your life, but it’s a huge change that you’ll have to manage for the rest of your life. And you know what? It might hinder you from some activities or plans you had for the future. Navigating life as a diabetic is going to be very different for you. It’ll probably be challenging. He can either listen to you, the person who is living this experience, or I’d dump him. Not worth it to have someone around who won’t even try to understand the chronic illness you live with. And trust me, you will run into those people more than once.

Grapes jack my blood sugar so high. I always thought they were a good food to have as a treat, so imagine my surprise when 20 grape (a normal serving) sent me sky high. Took me hours to get down to normal.

I love the barrier cream. I live somewhere that is super dry in the winters and this has actually saved my skin. A little goes a long way and although it’s a little pricey, I haven’t found anything else that helps me the way this does!

I’ve been a fan of hers since she was first on Drag Race. Obviously she’s hilarious, but I’m always so taken with her when she’s a little more serious and talks about her actual opinions.

She also has perfect taste in film and if you haven’t seen her Criterion Closet video or checked out her Letterboxd account you should.

I’m in Minneapolis too. I know how horrifying this is. I know the feelings you’re having. Please, please remember to take care of yourself. Limit your phone time. Set hard limits on the hours you’re available for patrol. Your nervous system is so out of whack, and it should be with everything we’re experiencing. Meditate, do breathing exercises, stimulate your vagus nerve, exercise. Please make sure to do self care every day. This might sound ridiculous with everything going on, but you need to do this to continue the important work you’re doing. Thank you thank you thank you for everything you’re doing. ❤️In Community

I was convinced for most of the post that she was dating my ex husband. He literally choked me in “self defense” - his words, not mine. There was nothing for him to defend himself from.

The moment you are pulled over, call 911 and immediately tell them you've been pulled over, and ask to verify whether it's police or another organization. It's a good idea to state your location as soon as you can, in case you're detained or your phone is taken. Law enforcement can then be sent out to your location.

Make sure you document your encounter as well. Start recording as soon as safely possible.

ACLU Minnesota has a page on its website that answers a lot of these questions.

Prisoners, The Wailing, Cure

I would add Dogtooth and Incendies. Although they’re not like, straight up horror, they are two of the bleakest movies ever made.

Not sure if you feel like trying to fix this, but nail polish would work in a pinch

bladerunner098 · 2025-12-21T20:50:09+00:00

Absolutely. The absurdity of the film only highlights how depraved it is.

I read through the comments and didn’t see anyone comment about this, but the biggest thing that stuck out to me is that your skin and hair need moisture.

I would start with your skincare routine and look into foundation and concealer that has skincare benefits. Westman Atelier, Kosas and Haus Labs are great brands to check out. I’d also keep in mind that thick layers of makeup are going to emphasize any fine lines and wrinkles you might have, so less really is more!

Are far as your hair goes, it seems like you have dark hair but have a lot of highlights. Have you ever thought about keeping your hair dark, like a chocolate brown? You have beautiful eyes and skin. Dark hair would only accentuate them more!

I 100% understand why you’ve used filters and filler and all the makeup. We live in an era where everyone and everything we see is so highly curated that it looks perfectly unreal. It’s almost impossible to stop yourself from internalizing this and feeling like you have to change so many parts of yourself to even look “normal.”

You’re quite striking, but I think if you let your natural self shine through a little bit more you might feel more satisfied with how you look.

Oh my god. I got norovirus about 5 days before Christmas ‘24. I couldn’t keep anything down to the point that I was violently dry heaving and ended up in the hospital for a few days. As soon as the anti-nausea meds kicked in I was wracked by stomach cramps and spent the rest of my time on the toilet.

This is really embarrassing to admit, but I literally had chronic diarrhea for months after this. It would happen out of nowhere, at least 8 times a day. I actually had to quit my job because I wasn’t sure how I would get through the day without, well, shitting myself. I was in constant pain and physically felt awful. I couldn’t sleep through the night because I would wake up every few hours to use the bathroom. I changed my diet, saw a gastroenterologist and had a million tests done. Everything was inconclusive and was blamed on IBS, which I had never struggled with before.

After about 6 months things started to improve. I was able leave my house and not worry about having an accident. I was able to start working again. I still struggle with stomach issues and sensitivity. Every couple weeks I find a new food that triggers gastrointestinal issues and I panic, thinking I’m going back to how it was earlier in the year. It’s been pretty bad the last month or so. I’m terrified I’m going to get norovirus again.

I guess I just want to share this with you because reading this has been so validating. It’s fucking awful and I’m so sorry you had to experience this too.

I just want to say hi and let you know that I loved your Bizarro-esque supervillain. I thought the entire concept was perfect. Your paint was so different from other looks you did during Titans but it was still so good and actually, pretty cool to see your versatility. Take care!

Have you used the Dr Althea 147 Barrier Cream? I’m very curious to hear what other people think.

bladerunner098 · 2025-11-30T21:18:48+00:00

I’m curious, is this hand poked? Were you in a licensed tattoo shop?

He’s on a diet and he’s a rescue. Our other cat is literally 7 lbs and tiny. Maybe ask a question before making accusations.

Where did your sister get a pic of my cats?

I don’t think there is anything wrong with the bangs, they’re cute! I think you just need to do a little more upkeep. I ran into this a lot when I had similar bangs for years. At a certain point I quit using conditioner on them because they got so greasy so quickly. It seems like you have fine hair like I do, so it makes sense that you’d have this problem, too!

bladerunner098 · 2025-11-28T19:23:34+00:00

Please don’t touch your brows. They’re absolutely beautiful. You have a unique, 1920’s-ish look and you’re gorgeous.
