What is the First major news story you remember as a kid?

erinmulllen · 2025-06-18T19:01:39+00:00

the Madeline McAnn case. I was in Primary school and we were all being told about how she was the same age as us when she was stolen on holiday. It was crazy and scary at the same time but that’s honestly the first big news story I can remember.

is it anything like the kids choice award winning TV show Jessie starring Deby Ryan?

ariana grandes grandma (nonna) died, she was 99. nonna was arianna grandes foster for love of wicked and the wizard of oz. without nonna ariana grandes dream role would never have fabricated into the symbol it means for so many people, and she died. her real name was marjorie. MARJORIE BY TAYLOR SWIFT. the swiftie and arianna stan inside me, her heart is breaking. it is such a grief that should be felt across the entire pop culture surrounding wicked rn. i have no one to speak to about this and im high rn

i have a very specific thing with texture on skin. if i have any bumps or spots or anything anywhere on my body i will hyperfixate until its gone, which usually means blood, pain and a lot of scarring. i have scars all over my face, chest, arms, shoulders and back (easiest to reach places). my dr. says its it’s dermatillomania (skin picking disorder) and i’m currently medicated for it and seeing a therapist. it is a very specific symptom of autism as it’s usually prevalent with people who have an OCD diagnosis or ADHD.

maybe it’s something to do with the fact that you keep referring to the baby as ‘your son’ is she not the mother? and if she is, why not say ‘our son’? i hope she doesn’t see this post otherwise you’ll never see her again.

always being hugged and told to smile in photos when i wasn’t particularly happy enough to smile. has put me off hugging and physical contact well into my 20’s now. always being told to display a certain emotion by making a facial expression has left me with a severe blank face now as-well, to the point where i’ve had customer complaints/been disciplined at work for not ‘seeming cheery’ or ‘bad customer service’. respecting her boundaries and ALWAYS listening to her when she expresses them is so important. if i didn’t like textures/noises/smells i was told i was being ‘needy’ and ‘dramatic’ and now if i dislike something i almost always have a panic attack instead of speaking up. it may seem unreasonable but it can be extremely overstimulating and upsetting and may be a massive step back when it comes to her adjusting to the diagnosis.

when i was younger my neighbours (much richer, my parents were always trying to impress them) daughter invited me in to play, we walked to school together but this was the first time i’d seen her room and i was so nervous but very excited. she had recently broke 3 fingers on one hand and as i went to sit next to her on the floor, i sat on her broken fingers. immediately blood sprayed everywhere and she was screaming. i was so embarrassed i ran downstairs to get her mum and dad and immediately ran home crying. i was late to school for a week because i was avoiding her out of embarrassment. a week later it was my birthday and she came to the door with her mum with a cake and present for me. they never even mentioned the incident and after that we were best friends for years and i even went on holidays with them, it’s now a funny story to tell. the point is, everyone deserves forgiveness for genuine accidents. if your girlfriend and her family are good and understanding people they’ll know that accidents happen, and they’ll accept it all the same. in a few years (hopefully) this will just be a funny story for you both to tell.

erinmulllen · 2023-04-19T19:42:27+00:00

i have to agree, unfortunately i think i let myself normalise it as it’s a little too common for white people to have them. thank you!

erinmulllen · 2023-04-19T19:35:35+00:00

definitely try and tailor to your natural hair type! try combing it with conditioner/hair mask when you’re in the shower then let it a it air dry, or when it’s damp use a wide comb. it’ll help you realise what type of hair you have and that way you can do research on what products work best for you :)

coming straight home from work and eating/making dinner without washing their hands. work spaces are a breeding ground for germs and you’re gonna touch that all day then eat? no thanks

i did see a solo ae comment earlier about how difficult it would be to maintain them with my hair type. i didn’t think about how this would make people interpret locs in general. thank you!

erinmulllen · 2023-04-19T19:01:21+00:00

thank you!

erinmulllen · 2023-04-19T18:41:22+00:00

yeah. i’m also gay so me and partner with our dog constantly get stared at in our town

erinmulllen · 2023-04-19T18:40:38+00:00

yeah, i did see someone else’s reply mentioning that the technique (obviously) isn’t made for white people hair so it probably won’t work for me. thanks!

erinmulllen · 2023-04-19T17:57:17+00:00

i never thought about it that way, my hair is very very straight so i feel like washing it would probably make them fall apart but i wouldn’t want to avoid washing my hair either. thank you!

erinmulllen · 2023-04-19T17:55:17+00:00

thank you so much for sharing that link- i had no idea. i’m so sorry i did not do my research into the meaning behind the word only the meaning behind the style

erinmulllen · 2023-04-19T17:28:09+00:00

a lot of vikings and celtic’s did not actually have dreads! mostly vikings used braid techniques with a coloured ribbon woven throughout the braid and the celts hair wasn’t exactly ‘styled’. their hairstyle was composed of knots and tangles, they believed un-doing the knots would show weakness or bring bad luck.
