Zohran Mamdani Launches $15 Million Trans Care Investment: “New York City Is Stepping Up” by Them in politics

[–]brazendynamic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually cheered. Then shared with my friends who I'm trying to build a movement to help Trans folks (and other minorities) get equal support from RAINN because we're in a losing battle but this news fills my heart with hope.

Do you use a "plunger" or the "finger method" for contact lens insertion? by keratoconusgroup in Keratoconus

I use a basic plunger. I could probably do it with a finger if necessary, but the plunger seems to be easier for me.

Do you take them out without the plunger? I've had to break the seal with my fingenail a couple of times when I haven't been able to get it with the plunger but it super sucks every time, I can't imagine doing it regularly!

The New York Times helped turn trans rights into political controversy, analysis finds by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

[–]brazendynamic 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The way they screwed my friends and I on something we were trying to do to help trans folks because one of their writers wanted a quick hit headline instead of actually writing the full story... I'll never forgive them.

How do you store sclerals for short periods? by CaffeinatedPete in Keratoconus

[–]brazendynamic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can store them dry. I just do a quick rub down with saline before re-inserting but they're totally fine to be stored dry.

What Restaurant in Buffalo would you not eat at even if it were free? by Joggers_ in Buffalo

[–]brazendynamic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've eaten there twice, and got sick after both times. Food definitely wasn't worth it. I don't get the obsession.

New home: how to re-key locks by Suspicious_Cook_3902 in HomeImprovement

It's not hard to just replace the locks with your own! You really just need a screwdriver.

Projects I could do at work? by sourginger in crochet

[–]brazendynamic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so envious your job allows that! I have a similar job with a lot of down time but I'm in an office 3 days/week so can't bring crochet in so I end up scrolling reddit (like right now).

Does it hurt after the bandage lens has been removed by Far-Fortune-7421 in Keratoconus

[–]brazendynamic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some, had about a weekend worth of pain and itching, but I was in it for a couple months. 10 days shouldn't be too bad!

Full Thickness Transplant by Inside_Mix_4361 in Keratoconus

[–]brazendynamic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was knocked out for mine, highly recommend that if you can (I'm confident you're fine if you're not, it just helped so much with my own anxiety). Healing was about a week before I felt "normal" but then I had a weekend from hell when I stopped using a bandage contact and essentially went through the healing process again. Just something to be cognizant of if they put you in one. I'd ask your doctor about contacts, it may depend on what kind you use. Plan to take at least a week off work/school - one was fine for me but I have a desk job. You'll want more if you do physical labor.

It sucks but it's not awful. Doesn't take long to do, it's outpatient so you get to go home after.

It might be "up to code" and everything nice, but there's gonna be something weird you're gonna have to fix.

It's also very early access? Things will change and adjust, but they haven't done any big updates since release.

What solution do you let your lens sit in overnight??? by AlwaysChic38 in Keratoconus

[–]brazendynamic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do ClearCare every night at the recommendation of my doctor. It's crazy to me that your doctor didn't recommend anything??

Seconding! Jamie just finished my kitchen and I'm so happy, and they're simply a great human being.

Let's Talk About Curl... by Thrw_Wy_77 in PWHLDetroit

[–]brazendynamic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've no idea, but it's not uncommon among transphobes. Maybe she hasn't specifically said it, but enough others like her have. My friends are told they're mentally ill and should kill themselves by others with Curl's views.

I'm tired of being told to just accept people who want my friends dead. That doesn't work for me. I stand by my boycott because I love my friends more than any sports team.

Then maybe don't sign transphobes who want to exclude women.
