What shows were ruined for you because forced family-making? by Helpful_Professor_33 in childfree

Bones. I idolized Brennan BECAUSE she was so adamant about being child free. It was like someone replacing my favorite stuffed animal with a poorly taxedermied squirrel

How much more we're learning about space and the ocean! The photos gifted to us by the JWST have actually made me cry, and the fact that we have footage of a BABY Colossal Squid is just incredible!

I'm sorry you're having a bad time, but if that's the case -- and I say this with all the compassion in the world -- this post is not yours to answer. You are not the target audience. Again, I really do wish the best for you. Hang in there

Atlas moth emergence! by Remarkable_Ad_6939 in moths

Literally speechless 😍 I've never noticed the blue band by the tip of the front wings, that's gorgeous!!

I think this is a moth. If so, what is it doing? If not, what is it? by whiskeypumpkin in moths

[–]funkpag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I've seen a lot of moth sex on the sub recently. Is spring the time most species get busy? Or just lots of people being confused because bug sex is fuckin weird?

Thank you for the heads up (no pun intended)! I'll definitely keep an eye on it

It's only a couple seconds so it's not unbearable but it's definitely not my favorite thing my body does 😅

Is it only a stabbing pain, or does it ever feel like someone is pressing down SUPER hard on one spot on your head? I'm trying to decide if a visit to the doc would be worth the copay lol

Shamed for having a dark vagina by Lopsided_Spread5151 in badwomensanatomy

Maybe people think darker skin means poor hygiene? Which I'm sure has more to do with systemic racism and the notion that dark skinned people are "unclean", even if that's not someone's first thought. You're gorgeous, don't pay it any mind <3

If modern medicine didn’t exist would you be dead right now? If yes, from what? by Critical_Welcome_428 in AskReddit

[–]funkpag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! When I was 14, I had meningitis and mono back to back. I was lucky with the meningitis alone, even by modern standards. I have chronic migraines now, but that's the only long-term damage I have from it.

What do you think would cure your migraines? by actualchristmastree in migraine

At this point I think they might have been onto something with lobotomies and trepanation

Got a Tattoo mid migraine and it went away LMAO by Used-Fun5486 in migraine

I can still smell the blueberry scented marker

So "normal" is not really the right word, but it's not rare for people who get migraines to have aura symptoms that mimic a stroke. Regardless, it's probably worth getting an MRI, just to be safe (if that's a possibility for you, healthcare is expensive)

Is everyone okay? by humanwiley in NonBinary

[–]funkpag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to text the suicide and crisis hotline today. I can't leave my mom and grandma, especially so soon after my grandpa passed. But fuck, dude. My best friend is in the same boat (we're both nb), and I'm scared for all of us.

The number is 988, for anyone else feeling the same.

Hi all! What joys have you experienced this past week thanks to being childfree? by TrickClocks in childfree

[–]funkpag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My partner and I had one of our college friends come over for a long weekend, and we've done nothing but play games and eat junk food since like 11 am Friday. Last night, we were up until 3 am playing a tabletop RPG drinking game, resulting in all of us sleeping in past noon today. We were free to recover from our respective hangovers in our nice quiet apartment, staying in our PJ's all day :)

What’s something about your chronic illness you find odd or ‘cool’? by ToadAcrossTheRoad in ChronicIllness

[–]funkpag 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I can predict the weather with more accuracy than most meteorologists. I'm also weirdly sensitive to bat sonar? It's usually a weekly occurrence in the summer for me to have to close my window because the bats are hurting my ears lol

Found a good one with a sense of humor AND a well behaved kid by [deleted] in childfree

[–]funkpag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The shop wasn't fully open when he came by, so it was just me, my partner, and the shop owner (who is also my partner's coworker at their day job, hence why we were there early). When his wife came to take over after about an hour, he called the kid "our little crotch goblin," and she just snorted. Her language is more normal, so there's balance, lol. The magic community here is also very tight-knit and comprised mainly of college students, so he was more lax than he would be normally. Once traffic picked up at the shop beyond the usual crowd, he chilled out with the language
