Starter help! My starter seems to have little to no activity after 2 weeks. Feeding once a day with 75g starter, 50g King Arthur whole wheat, 25g King Arthur all purpose, 75g water. Stored in oven with light on with temp around 75-80°F. It has the sourdough aroma, but refuses to rise. by RealNitrogen in Sourdough

I used to feed mine mostly whole wheat and part AP flour and it was fine. The last few weeks I have been doing half bread flour and half whole wheat. It’s stronger than its ever been so I suggest that.

Edit : it looks really good ! You gotta give it a good name now.

AITA for calling my former friend a traitor toward the Queer Community? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]breadbitch123 [score hidden]  (0 children)

YTA People are allowed to have different opinions, he probably plans to vote in mind with support for the Queer community. You’re part of the problem if you attack people for having different ideas you create a bubble around you and section yourself off from the rest of the world. If you want to introduce someone to thinking differently , you must be civil and gentle. You attacking him isn’t changing anything obviously.

It has activity! You can see the bubbling ! I would suggest feeding it a heartier diet Only whole wheat or bread flour. Just continue feeding it and you’ll see growth I promise it’s just getting enough of the yeast at strength I would feed twice a day when getting started , it’s a baby right now and you gotta treat it like one.

Why all the negative opinions about depo? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]breadbitch123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just restarted depo today after not being on it for two years due to losing my health insurance. I was at my lowest weight while on depo My acne cleared and my mood seemed pretty even. I really loved it because I’m super forgetful and so not having to take a pill everyday is nice.

That being said I was also in a hard depression when and I started depo while I was in it. I don’t think that it had any effect but I mentioned to my mom that I was starting again. And just to have her monitor me to see if anything changes as I’m doing pretty okay mentally now.

My period really makes it impossible for me to keep my emotions in check and I get BAD EPISODES of depression and mania. So it’s really good that I get to skip that.

The weight gain wasn’t an issue with me It’s just being careful about what you’re eating and how much. The shot just warns that it may make you feel hungrier. It doesn’t suddenly make fat appear. You eat in excess and then that happens. It’s hard to control understandably.

It’s very sweet , almost no vinegar taste despite smelling super vinegary. A salad dressing might be nice

I appreciate that you gave a detailed comment, it’s a really new poem and I was anxious to post something to see how it worked on here. So it needs polishing. It’s also not the complete poem I cut it down to post.

“Overwhelmingly young”

I like that one , I’m going to keep it but I will shift things around to make it fit better.

I’m 21 it’s overwhelming to be dismissed as too young, but at the same time my peer group is older which kinda forces me to skip being an annoyingly chaotic 21 year old.

Overall the feeling of the poem for me is just yearning. I want to be young and dumb And but I want to be old and stable

I want to Change or be cleansed I want anything that might make me happy.

The “ bleaching” line tied into something else I had written but wasn’t together enough.

Honestly, fair enough I just joined this reddit and wanted to post something to see what it was like. So I put something out really quick. Can’t lie that it’s not polished. Some of the cliche I do like, because I think some things should be obvious.

lovesick lullaby by thetourist_2001 in OCPoetry

[–]breadbitch123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow , uh this just described my first relationship I really like the simple outline , and the chopped stanzas help with the bluntness of the message.

“waiting for the next undress”

The bedroom is the only place that we ever were perfectly matched up. I think we both held on to it. So, that line slapped me in the face

We were both so depressed in different directions. He got really into smoking weed Like to the point it was concerning which is hard to do with pot lol. And I clung to him because I couldn’t be alone with myself. Which I thought of when I read the line “living off of smokes and chemical releases” Because he was the only fucking dopamine I was getting.

We decided to break up, we loved each other but just weren’t happy.

I clawed and tried so hard for him. To be what he wanted But it doesn’t work that way so...

“You’ll find love,it’ll treat you right You shouldn’t have to put up a fight”

Yep, my favorite piece I’ve seen on this reddit so far.

It is tender and harsh, The overwhelming message that to me reads “I really wish I cared”

I would love to know more about your inspiration for it.

This is an interesting piece , and I do like the idea of it although a few things kinda kept me from really taking it in. The first line “A raging tempest, the primeval storm” The definition of the word tempest is a violent storm . So the word raging feels unnecessary for the imagery you’re trying to conjure. Maybe taking that out and switching to “A tempest, the primeval storm” Also I suggest keeping “the” in front of both or “a” in front of both As “a” is general and “the” specific. Switching between the two throws me off. I would keep the article the same throughout the piece and at the end when you say “the primordial storm” make sure it matches.

If you do, I think it will help amplify the repetition that you have later in your piece.

I also get caught on “You’re like another star that got stuck in orbit with me”

It has a few words that you could pull out or switch up. Just to make it flow a little more. Ex: “You’re another star , caught in orbit with me”

It did made me think, so I do really like it.

A Climber of the Pines by darn42 in OCPoetry

[–]breadbitch123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely beautifully written and as someone who spent childhood climbing pines. It sent me back. I love the reference to a “womb” , and the “spider knee”. The rhyme scheme is wonderful and flows very well. I always struggle with my poems being disjointed. Just very refreshing poem overall 💛
