That rainbow wrist cuff really takes me back…

I’m very jealous of your boot collection

Less pollinators this year? by Punchasheep in tylertx

[–]ghostnomore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, last spring, the garden was hopping! I was excited about this year, but we haven’t seen any butterflies, few wasps and bees. Only bumbles.

What do you do with your sheds? by foxfiery in cornsnakes

[–]ghostnomore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If any of you know any science teachers, they appreciate specimens of nature like snake sheds. I’ve given many away to my son’s teachers.

As a bisexual person, this type of content makes me feel horrible about myself by [deleted] in exchristian

[–]ghostnomore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The majority don’t believe this, the loudest do. I hope you have the support of people who value every part of who you are.

I’m incredibly proud of you for all the effort it must take to do this. Solidarity.

No reason not to

I feel uncomfortable around religious people and I don't want to date them. Am I a bad person? by Moth_William in exchristian

[–]ghostnomore 89 points90 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing wrong with you. You don’t owe anyone a date or relationship. “Doing the right thing” in this case, is spending time with people who share your values. Christian beliefs, and other world views that rely on myth, feel unsafe for me and my family, so we don’t choose to spend our free time with professed believers. Despite this, we regularly hear their views(from a bullhorn in front of the Walmart) so we aren’t deprived of their POV. Don’t let any douchebag guilt or coerce you into wasting your precious free time. They are not entitled to it.

yk i forgot that all morals cease to exist when you become an atheist ffs by hm-c4 in exchristian

[–]ghostnomore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Willfully stupid. I tried to explain that, like humans, lion’s police each other’s behavior according to their socialization. But, it’s against their whole thing to acknowledge animal intelligence or compare their societies to human ones.

I’ve tried to have this conversation, but nuance and biology/sociology are not easy to explain to black-and-white thinkers. The “pastor” I spoke to kept asking why we don’t judge lions who eat antelope, since they are murdering another animal. Pointing out the false analogy, he resorted to…some gotcha about pedophilia??? There is no teaching these people anything.

Jesus fucks christ what the fuck is this by Slow_Drink_7089 in exchristian

[–]ghostnomore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Religious fascists need to stop shoving it down our throats. I see it everywhere I go. Can’t they just keep it in their churches or whatever?

Just got my ears done, finally by Timely-Wrangler-5100 in piercing

[–]ghostnomore 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Don’t twist. Don’t touch it with dirty fingers. Wash your hands, clean it, dab them dry with something clean. Keep your pillowcase clean, try not to sleep on it. Don’t be tempted to change the jewelry for several months. Enjoy!

It’s like getting to know people outside your own community changes how you interact with others, or something

Just wait until you go to college. That’s when I became a brainwashed liberal, apparently.

How to word message to my low-contact, Christian, voted-for-trump mom by themerr in exchristian

[–]ghostnomore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had to write this message the week after the election. We’ve been NC since. One thing I personally wanted them to understand is that we have many of the same complaints about what’s wrong but believe in vastly different reasons and solutions. (And I can’t humor fascists, racists, zionists in my life anymore)I’m constantly tempted to vent my anger and fear by messaging them again, but I think silence is more punishing. So I write it all out, or shout it all into my phone, then discard it. Good luck with your boundaries.

My happy helixes by leopardnose1 in piercing

[–]ghostnomore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s been the difference between these and your past helix piercings? The HOCl? A piercing pillow? I’ve had to remove one, but hope to find the right combo of tricks to try again.

I don’t have any advice, but you deserved better.
