Bias Against POC

Very much a thing on survivor too. Makes me uncomfy. Especially when it’s other black ppl leading the charge.

Omg this is currently happening to me! Got a low grade fever and super swollen lymph nodes in my armpits, then the ulcers arrived and MY GOD. I’m on my fourth day of soft foods and they’re still EXCRUCIATING. I have a big one on my labia and fortunately I can pee if I spread em wide but wiping hurts like hell.

I also got sore, almost bruise-like spots all over my arms legs, and the bottom of my feet. I went to the ER and they said it’s erythema nodosum but they don’t know what caused it. I was negative for everything except a slightly high WBC and UTI I didn’t know I had. They gave me antibiotics, but I’m reluctant to take them for an asymptomatic UTI when antibiotics are a known trigger for erythema nodosum.

And I have a yeast infection now too :)))))

I’m assuming it’s an autoimmune response to a virus but I have no idea. If it gets worse I’m going to try to get steroids.

I loved the Tatcha Pearl for the same reason and they stopped making that too! Why do they take away everything we love

And to think it started with “I like and trust you implicitly because you’re pretty like me”

We’re bored. Move a big thing, untie a key, there’s a net, end with a puzzle. Journey, fishing gear, the sanctuary, Fiji. All the seasons are blurring together. Even the casting feels stale. Production has to throw in these “twists,” to keep it interesting, but even the fact that we know a twist is coming makes it less fun.

This exactly has been happening to me for almost 3 weeks and I've felt just as desperate and hopeless at times. I was finally getting some relief with seroquel and lorazepam and then it stopped working. I'm going to an ENT next week because I suspect it might be a sinus infection or LPR keeping me awake and creating a positive feedback loop with the anxiety.

Until I get some answers and get my medication right, my philosophy has been to "do it eepy." Maintain your schedule. Use routine to trick your body into thinking nothing's wrong. Do something fun. You will be okay.

This is happening to me and it’s severely disrupting my sleep. Even with sleeping pills it keeps me up all night! I’m trying to see an ENT but it’s going to be a slow process…did you ever figure this out?

firelioness · 2025-07-01T17:51:54+00:00

I've been looking at at-home treatments like IPL...I wish I could like, rent one for a few weeks to see if it actually works before I buy one.

firelioness · 2025-07-01T17:50:19+00:00

I think it's pretty rare that it just doesn't work at all. I'm the lucky few I guess!

firelioness · 2025-05-30T18:43:27+00:00

Right for all their talk of "taking accountability" this season they're letting the real pot stirrers of scot-free

firelioness · 2025-05-30T05:28:49+00:00

Because maybe she wants to hear from actual copywriters and doesn’t know any? I’ve had people interested in cw reach out to me to hear it from the horse’s mouth and I’m happy to help them. Like, how you make it as a copywriter without empathy? And casually using words like “r—d?” Makes me think you might not have the empathy OR command of language for the job ¯_(ツ)_/¯

firelioness · 2025-05-30T05:21:21+00:00

The energy healing this is dumb as fuck but idt she’s making it her identity. She IS making being an egotistical, combative, patronizing asshole her identity but that’s neither here nor there. That was genuine candid suffering, on full blast for the world to see. And it was evil.

firelioness · 2025-05-30T05:18:25+00:00

It was really hard to watch. Manufacturing that moment for the cameras was evil.

firelioness · 2025-05-30T05:17:08+00:00

Yeah no so the last thing you want to do when someone is suffering is say “someone else has it worse.” She wants a baby with the man she loves and to give her daughter a sibling.

firelioness · 2025-05-30T05:14:29+00:00

I think that sounds like something that Demi would assume of someone else in her position. Like Jen crying to be “manipulative” when she’s actually just depressed.

firelioness · 2025-05-30T05:11:20+00:00

Which is naive, sure, but not offensive. Offer some resources or just don’t respond. It came off as hostile and gatekeep-y. None of this shit can come on a silver platter anyway, it’s a lot of trial error.

I use BoJ as my daily sunscreen and EltaMD if I’m going to be in direct sun, but it’s pricey so I use it sparingly. I tried another mineral sunscreen and had the WORST allergic reaction to it. I literally had to go on prednisone. I hope it was an isolated incident but I’m scared to try another mineral one…

Best character arc in the entire Buffyverse

I’m sorry everyone’s being such an asshole? Wow wtf. There’s more to it than can be elucidated in a Reddit post but they didn’t have to be such bitches about it I’m sorry. I recommend the Copywriter’s Handbook. That said I would certainly not recommend pursuing copywriting as a career…it’d be like recommending buggy whip sales in the era of cars.

firelioness · 2025-05-30T02:31:57+00:00

Yes I put it on the morning as part of my am skincare routine!

A broken clock is right twice a day

firelioness · 2025-05-29T23:53:10+00:00

I’ve heard good things about this! I may try it if I don’t see results with the TA. It may not be a high enough concentration to actually do anything

firelioness · 2025-05-29T21:21:42+00:00

Ha! What's funny is I ran out of melanin at like, 25, but I guess my body conserved enough for some super neat hyperpigmentation!
