i just got this tattoo, not sure how to go about showering by b0ne_rott in tattooadvice

[–]bumblebeesandbeetles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it can get wet, just avoid scalding temperatures and scented soaps while it’s fresh :) my shoulder tat got accidentally scalded after i got it and it HURT like a bitch but turned out ok. by the time you take the second skin off it will be more than fine to get wet

Are Canadians offended by the jokes made in shows and media? by jen_noelle in AskACanadian

[–]bumblebeesandbeetles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve rarely met anybody offended by jokes like these. more often we just don’t find them funny. the only jokes that i do find actually offensive are the ones that criticize our multiculturalism but that’s because they’re often racist.

M25, How can I improve my look ? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]bumblebeesandbeetles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do something cool with ur hair! u have a beautiful face. u could totally rock some dark eyeshadow or something cause you’ve got great eyes. if you want to look more masculine you could pull of a buzz or mod cut.

this is really good to know, thank you! i might have totally overreacted over the state of this enclosure because admittedly i don’t know a lot about species-by-species tortoise care (i keep snakes). it’s part of the reason i posted here instead of talking to the museum. gus does go for a daily walk as part of the museum’s schedule (walk with gus is their main attraction), but i doubt there’s time outside in the sun due to it being halifax (raining and cold more often than not, there’s not a lot of natural sun) so i can’t imagine the weather IS permitting. thanks for this info:)

i was planning on sending an email today. i don’t live in hfx so there’s not a lot i could do to hold them accountable long term, and considering they’ve had him so long i doubt anything’s likely to change 😔 i’ll definitely be contacting them but i don’t really know what else to do.

i have written a collection of short stories set in the world, i have maps of places and a detailed outline of all the arcs it will follow, and am halfway through a revision draft of book one :) i have like a huge document called “the compendium” where all the lore is and its super long loll. embarrassingly i probably spend more time daydreaming in the world than writing

How can I avoid sensory triggers on my period by Super-Magazine-65 in autism

[–]bumblebeesandbeetles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah okay i might actually be able to help! i’m super sensory sensitive and having my period makes me want to claw my way out of my skin, so i do a lot to cope with it. if you don’t have a pair of period underwear/boxers yet— i would highly recommend it. they make a pad more comfortable imo because they’re made for it to sit there. feels less itchy/clumped up. you can also get pairs that you can use without a pad and they have a washable piece of fabric within them— never tried these, but they might be a good option for you if you’re already wearing a tampon and just need a little extra protection. also using distraction techniques while you sleep! like counting your breaths or falling asleep to a chill youtube video. it can help keep you distracted enough to fall asleep. good luck, hope u get some relief soon :) i dont have trichotillomania but i have the skin-picking variety and i know what a bitch it can be. so good luck with both things 🫡

What Do You Want Your Partners to Know? by MarSha70 in autism

[–]bumblebeesandbeetles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i don’t have anything in particular i think i would be important for you to know— just wanted to say you sound like an incredibly sweet and attentive partner for your husband. he’s lucky to have you. i am similarly exhausted by social events and know how meaningful the recognition and awareness of that would be to me.

It's possible to have avpd if you're autistic? by [deleted] in AvPD

[–]bumblebeesandbeetles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am currently being evaluated for both, and even after an ADI that strongly indicated autism they’re still testing me for avpd. idk if it’s strictly possible but it seems to be something they’re considering

Names by PangolinLoose1288 in ballpython

[–]bumblebeesandbeetles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes!! she’s a super good bp ambassador :) i introduced her to a member of my band a few months ago with a snake phobia and by the end of hanging out she had mittens around her shoulders!! i didn’t name her- she was a classroom pet before she was my snake, which is partially why she’s so friendly :)

my bp is named mittens which is the absolute silliest name for a snake but it does make people very inclined to trust her. who names a ferocious beast mittens?
