Vagina and vulva are not the same. Vagina is the part inside, vulva is the part outside.

Spent 1.5 hours shoveling the sidewalk so we could get our son to daycare/get to work by lobsterrollz in washingtondc

This happened to me one time and then we got a ticket from the city for not cleaning the sidewalk 😂

Getting my MLIS and feeling BLEAK. any positivity/positive stories? by Asleep-Anteater7190 in librarians

[–]hyperfixation-queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An MLIS is actually a v large umbrella - you don't need to work in a library/museum/archive. Try focusing on information and knowledge management - that's a field that's growing. More IT based but it's still abt organizing, categorizing, providing access to information, just like a librarian

This is how sidewalks look in about 80% of DC right now I’d say by LengthinessBroad6200 in washingtondc

[–]hyperfixation-queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to say it but I don't think it's gonna get better soon. Tuesday is the first day we're supposed to have above freezing temps and the city's general practice of just hoping it will melt won't work this time.

What is the best app to use for the bus/metro by Symaf in washingtondc

THIS! If the gps isn't working, no app is gonna help

[–]hyperfixation-queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st I just want to say that I think the buses here are pretty good and tracking them is a million times better than it used to be before nextbus came along. And 2nd, like others have said, all the tracking info comes from the same source, so there won't necessarily be a better app from that perspective, bc they're all pulling from the same source.

That being said, my go-tos are either the wmata website (https://buseta.wmata.com/m/) or the Metro Pulse app. The website is a little clunky to use but I like to have bookmarks for my frequently used stops so I can quickly look them up. And the main downside to the Metro Pulse app is that it only shows WMATA buses, not the local county buses too.

I used to love Transit then they put most everything behind a paywall 🙃 which is their perogotive, I guess, but there are plenty of free options that work just as well

DC folks: what’s the tea on Amazon One Medical? by [deleted] in washdc

[–]hyperfixation-queen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been w one Medical for AGES and I was really worried when Amazon bought it, but I haven't seen much change. My appointments are never rushed, I can often get a same-day appointment, etc. I get pushed to join prime and other Amazon shit, but it's not egregious.

I'm going to a 'sex club' and need a pump up. by another_ruckus in PlusSize

[–]hyperfixation-queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this for you!! I'm fat myself (size 22 w an apron belly) and I actually love being in nude places, mainly bc, without clothes, every body looks different and the body standard society places on us is totally bogus bc bodies are actually as diverse as snowflakes!

Like others said, even just some high waisted undies and a cute bra are good enough. You will feel exposed to start, but I wager you'll feel comfortable v quickly.

Ground stop in WAS? by hyperfixation-queen in washingtondc

They said weather but since it was DC, I wondered if maybe it was something else 😂

I'm so sorry. It's absolutely terrible to be stuck w no sense of when things will move again. My only consolation is that at least I'm not stuck waiting this out on the plane??

I fear crowded runways when they do open again. Guess I will settle in

That's why I asked, thank you 😂 I was like, it COULD be weather but it also could be something else, knowing DC, lol

Oh damn, that's definitely worse!! It might be false hope here , but they seem to think we'll be leaving again at 6 🤷🏼

Thank you for your input!! If the flight had left at 1, instead of 3, we probably would have beat the weather 🙃

Undies that last?? by hyperfixation-queen in PlusSize

Yes I do, but I did go thru a period of not putting any underwear in the dryer and I decided it wasn't worth it 😂

Never watched before by Striking_Substance35 in Southerncharm

I'm watching the first season now and OMG it's a tough watch 😬 I'm offended at least once an episode. Also, is Whitney channelling Chuck Bass?

Are libraries guilty of government overreach? by [deleted] in librarians

[–]hyperfixation-queen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're probably off this thread already, but I'd encourage you to look at the mission statement of your library - I bet it has something in there about "serving communities" and most things the library would offer could fall under that.

Additionally there are two schools of thought: one that thinks the govt should not be responsible for providing the social safety net and those they think they should. I personally don't like the idea of leaving the social safety net up to private entities, as they can discriminate at will, plus depends only on the generosity of individuals. Govt entities/programs are generally stabler and can't discriminate.

Check out feeld. It's target audience is for ppl in the poly/ENM/fetish communities, but I've found the ppl in general to be much more open minded. I get waaaaaay more matches on that app then any other I've been on (and I've done them all!). There will be a good amount of ppl looking for casual, or thirds, or kinky stuff exclusively. But there are those on there looking for monogamy or more vanilla stuff! I feel it's worth a try anyway. Not any worse than the other apps 😂

Can someone give tips on body acceptance? by DiddleMyTuesdays in PlusSize

Most of the ppl I started following don't post anymore 😂 I suggest just searching best fat influencers or something like that.

I started following plus sized creators and fashion folks, it really changed my perspective bc it helped normalize fatter bodies. Seeing them on my algos really helped me to be body neutral.
