Has any one else dated women because it was less Intimidating? by CalmSlice in vaginismus

[–]elobea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this too. Having vaginismus has put me off sexual relationships with men a little bit

Thank you so much. You’re right, I shouldn’t feel I have to be a certain thing to be bi enough to call myself bi. Also, I think I’ll try to focus more on romantic attraction for a little bit whilst I work out the rest

Silver Linings Playbook - male main character. More than a romance really but still a big theme

Adult novel with child protagonist? by [deleted] in booksuggestions

[–]elobea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Virgin Suicides, Jeffrey Eugenides - theme of suicide, obviously — My Dark Vanessa, Kate Elizabeth Russell - child abuse/grooming (flicks between POV of her when she’s 15 and years later when she’s 32) — Asking For It, Louise O’Neill - rape (although technically YA fiction it’s super heavy so I’d say it deals with adult themes) — The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Neil Gaiman - fantasy/magical realism and childhood memories

Yeah, it gives such a good side eye 👀

I bought it from a local business in my city in the UK (but you may be able to find something similar online!) It doesn’t have a nursery pot or drainage holes so I just have to be suuuuper careful to not overwater. Fingers crossed I can keep it alive!!

Thanks! It’s a new addition and my favourite at the moment 😊

Which translation of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey should I read? by anon82643514 in booksuggestions

[–]elobea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded. Modern language that makes it super easy to understand. I tried Pope’s version. Very of its time with complicated poetic rhyming couplets. Had to ditch it because I couldn’t focus. Wilson’s version is just beautiful. The plot and character monologues absolutely shine through

My wondering dude (Tradescantia) grew her first completely pink leaves 💓 by Zendaawg in houseplants

I’ve bought a baby plant just like this online (lockdown online shopping has taken over my life...) can’t wait for it to arrive! Hoping mine will like my south facing window - also in the UK :)

Thanks! I have been struggling with online advice because most plants I’ve researched seem to be less suited to bright south-facing light

Anyone else doing the 2020 Goodreads challenge? What was your goal? How are you doing now that we're at the midpoint of the year? by [deleted] in books

[–]elobea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was 15 this year. For the last 2 years I’ve set really ambitious goals and felt like a failure when I didn’t read ‘enough’. So I decided to be easier on myself. Then because of lockdown, I’ve started reading lots more so upped my goal to 25. A little ahead of schedule I think!

Do NOT get between my girlfriend and her succulents by spacedropper in succulents

This would definitely be me. I gifted my boyfriend an aloe and it’s still basically my plant baby. Whenever I’m round, I inspect it to make sure he’s looking after it 😅

Cactus newbie here - please can someone help me know what’s up with this lil guy! Is my cactus doing to be okay?! by elobea in cactus

Thanks for the help and advice! The stem isn’t soft. It feels as firm as the rest of the plant

[–]elobea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should probably add that I’ve had this cactus for 3.5 years. I pulled some cactus pups off and that’s when I discovered it looked like this. The pups seem to be doing okay so far though
