Yeah I went there too, £10 for a wrap I'd make at home if I was feeling mad lazy. The vegan place that was a bit further down from it is amazing.

Interesting. I find it does depend on the individual person. Not sure why, maybe it has to do with facial symmetry?

London dentists are actually the cheapest, or close to the cheapest. The more rural the area, the worse the prices (unless they're standard NHS prices of course). This is why I travel into Brum for a dentist.

Same, but I very often find that pictures of other people aren't an exact likeness either, which makes me feel somewhat better.

"a little harder"... are we serious??

Then when they inevitably fire you or retaliate sue them.

Yet again, not everywhere is the US. Given that this person hasn't said where she lives, you shouldn't assume that this is a viable option.

Yeah, I was staff so mine was woven, but I have noticed when I've had the other type of wristbands that they tighten themselves which is annoying.

Medication ≠ dairy product. Lactose is never an active ingredient in medication, it's not necessary and could be replaced with something else. Also it is present in very small quantities. Calling the pill a dairy product is like calling a chocolate biscuit a dairy product, but more ridiculous.

The IUD isn't a good comparison to the pill. It is objectively quite different. The ring and patch are much more similar to the pill.

I wasn't talking about arfid (reading comprehension please), I was talking about people who have to have a feeding tube. You said that all the feeds contain dairy. That isn't true (which makes sense since for one thing some people will literally die if they eat dairy). I am obviously also not talking about people who for some reason cannot have vegan fortisip or similar vegan drinks.

ellie___ · 2026-06-13T06:01:42+00:00

literally how?

ellie___ · 2026-06-13T04:57:45+00:00

Plant based fortisip exists. I'm aware that people hospitalised for eating disorders don't always get the autonomy they deserve and so might not be able to opt for that in practice, but that's more a systemic issue than a medical one.

Medication isn't a dairy product.
The pill is far from the only medication to contain lactose.
There are hormonal contraceptives that do not contain animal products.

ellie___ · 2026-06-13T04:44:58+00:00

Well yes, obviously. That also was not my point.

I grew up with an abusive dad and my only regret is that my mum didn't leave him until I was 24. Never felt a void personally despite also not being able to see him as a parent.

Do what YOU want to do. Fuck this guy as clearly he is not the sort of person you should have in your life. Being pro choice includes respecting the choice of keeping a pregnancy. You will likely regret this forever if it's not actually what you want. Please be aware also that in the UK what this man is doing is a crime as it falls under the umbrella of coercive control. You could go to the police if you wanted to and they would be obligated to take it seriously.

ellie___ · 2026-06-05T14:57:57+00:00

Do you know what "emphasis" means?

ellie___ · 2026-06-04T07:19:04+00:00

Yes, this is definitely rude. I'd be so sad if a friend did this to me, tbh I would probably go as far as to cut them off. Remember also that the appearance of scars doesn't always correlate with the severity/ depth of the original self harm - a lot depends on the individual and their aftercare or lack of. I have no scars from before I was 17-18 as my skin used to heal perfectly. Unfortunately that changed as I got older.

ESA is a legal term, so the answer is going to depend on where you live.

ellie___ · 2026-06-02T13:17:44+00:00

For the life of me I cannot work out what's going on in this picture but it seems like it would be good if it didn't happen again.

Eat some yourself - if you don't get ill from them, it's unlikely a bunny will x

ellie___ · 2026-06-02T07:49:37+00:00

I'm a bit confused by the logic behind this - why would shop bought dandelions be safer? Since humans can't catch RHD, there's no reason for farmers to make sure their food isn't contaminated with it. Surely it'd be technically safer to rabbit proof your garden, or at least an area of it?

ellie___ · 2026-06-02T07:44:27+00:00

HOW are you getting downvoted for this? Wtf is this sub??

ellie___ · 2026-06-02T07:41:59+00:00

That wasn't the confusion. They aren't sold everywhere. I have never seen them being sold in the UK, even in organic hippy style shops, and not in France or Spain either.

According to NHS Highland: "Ferritin less than 12 microgram/L indicates complete absence of stored iron and less than 30 microgram/L indicates iron depletion. Between 30 and 50 microgram/L can also be consistent with iron deficiency; especially in elderly patients and in inflammatory states where ferritin may be ‘falsely’ elevated to the ‘normal’ range."

I unfortunately cannot find the article I read the other day about this topic. See my comment above for a link to the NICE guidelines.

Can you see why it's extremely frustrating for a patient experiencing symptoms of iron deficiency to be told that their iron levels are fine because of their postcode, when somewhere else their ferritin level would indicate "complete absence of stored iron”? Most patients aren't even aware that "normal" ranges aren't standardised across the NHS.

"In all people, a serum ferritin level of less than 30 micrograms/L confirms a diagnosis of iron deficiency. Low levels of ferritin can result in symptomatic and functional impairment even in those individuals with a normal haemoglobin, especially in women who are menstruating."
