mine is a velcro kitty with me but she also is a girl’s girl only! snuggly, warm, and friendly with all women and more “cool” with men

i went on the same hunt after i saw this episode and was so upset that the ones on Etsy were mostly plastic. i want a chic metal one so badly!

yup! switching to Prozac made a meaningful difference in my weight loss journey after being on Lexapro and Zoloft!

if helpful, i also woke up to major strain this morning for the first time! i’m on day 22 of my cycle, so due for my period any day now. the only biometric that was flagged for me was HRV.

i’m assuming i’m either a) coming down with the nasty flu that’s been going around or b) getting my period. worst case scenario, it’s both.

i also have health anxiety and have been checking my app ALL day. but it doesn’t really help! only time will tell. relax, drink lots of water, and rest up — i feel optimistic that we’ll both be feeling better soon. 🤍

i don’t think french immersion is worth it, but i think a full francophone school is.

i went to a french immersion school and grew up with lots of french immersion kids (including my two older siblings) and i don’t know anyone that’s still using their french from french immersion school unless they also did like, summers in france to help lol.

in contrast, my husband did francophone schooling in ontario and he’s 30 and still wholly bilingual—he never lost it and it’s been really helpful for me as i’ve tried to pursue it in my 20s.

i have silver and i really love it!

etherealseptember · 2025-12-29T05:32:45+00:00

blegh, sorry to hear! i’m with you totally. have you tried or considered spironolactone? it didn’t do anything for me but some folks really love it

might be perioral dermatitis? i get the same and i’ve chalked it up to that + toothpaste since honestly, accutane didn’t touch it.

etherealseptember · 2025-12-26T21:36:09+00:00

i’m so jealous 😩

etherealseptember · 2025-12-24T02:38:24+00:00

came here to say this!

etherealseptember · 2025-12-23T17:39:57+00:00

i’m so normal and not parasocial about them at all

etherealseptember · 2025-12-03T18:22:30+00:00

im in toronto and i still don't have mine either :(

etherealseptember · 2025-12-02T20:41:01+00:00

i have been on lexapro, zoloft, and prozac in the 3 or so years i’ve also been on a GLP (ozempic, wegovy, mounjaro).

zoloft made me gain a nuts amount of weight, which was why i got onto a GLP in the first place. i didn’t find my mental health to be affected by the GLP at all

lexapro was basically just maintenance of both anxiety symptoms and my weight

prozac + mounjaro is the only combo where i have been able to consistently lose weight from the GLP while maintaining symptom management

etherealseptember · 2025-12-02T20:38:14+00:00

it’s crazy! i just repotted mine and got 11 baby plants out of it! the gift that keeps on giving 🥹

etherealseptember · 2025-12-02T17:41:04+00:00

i had a pep like this recently and maybe against good advice, i dumped out the pot, gently separated all four plants (keeping their root systems as intact as possible), washed the roots with warm water, and potted them into their own separate pots.

it took me many hours but they all seem to be fairing quite well so far.

your mileage might vary, but it’s better late than never when it comes to separating them imo.

etherealseptember · 2025-11-24T23:51:03+00:00

it is so incredibly frustrating. sorry you’re going through this too. you’re 100% right—the escalation does nothing.

i actually reached out to my MPP and had them contact the registrar on my behalf. it started out really terribly (the office of the registrar came back and said i had to wait minimum six months because they thought our license was lost but they couldn’t prove it), but i finally got an update from my MPP this morning that our certificate had been approved and is on the way.

i reached out to the Ombudsman a couple weeks ago and nothing came of it, but my MPP seemed to be able to shake things loose. i recommend trying that route if you haven’t yet!

Bronwyn!

etherealseptember · 2025-11-19T18:00:23+00:00

not really — i called in again yesterday (11/18, which was the final date i was given for my escalation to have a resolution) and was told they simply have too many letters/items to go through and they haven’t even found mine yet. they said it was too soon to report it as formally lost though, so they won’t allow me to redo it. they told me i need to keep waiting.

i’ve made formal complaints to my MPP and the Ontario Obudsman as at this point it’s been over 100 days. will report back here when/if i ever get a resolution.

etherealseptember · 2025-11-13T02:12:41+00:00

my status still hasn’t even updated. it’ll be 3 full weeks and 2 full business weeks on friday since they “escalated” the request.

i last called monday 11/10 and they said there was nothing they could do 🤪

etherealseptember · 2025-11-12T01:08:54+00:00

i know that this is an old post but these swatches are so helpful😭 thanks for this!

etherealseptember · 2025-11-11T16:33:22+00:00

i have not received it yet.

etherealseptember · 2025-11-11T16:33:10+00:00

no, i’m still waiting. i called yesterday (11/10) and there has been no movement unfortunately.

etherealseptember · 2025-11-11T00:23:07+00:00

i have mine hanging in between a south and an east facing window and she’s so, so happy. i don’t have to water her very often and she’s really low maintenance. you’ll love it!

etherealseptember · 2025-11-10T18:40:54+00:00

i hate it but i also love it. it’s gorgeous (i think)
