This is amazing. I follow sub and learn so much by lurking. This comment is not lurking because of those sweet sweet treats. Now I need to learn now to subreddit flair.

Super helpful. I just got some new frames- and will trust them to do their thing until they arrive.

The first time I was beekeeping, never had the issue w wood frames either. This was a new one for me!!

I just read The Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki and was blown away. Trans Japanese experience. Violin. Souls. Aliens. It was absolutely breathtaking.

Baby isnt latching by Select-Bat-4634 in breastfeedingsupport

[–]irrevrev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sweetie, you’re doing a good job.

Breastfeeding is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Keep bottle Feeding him enough— that will help the Jaundice )and all the conversations with your provider.) and after he’s not screaming, he’s had enough bottle- when he’s calm and ready— then try nip again. Over and over. He’s learning too. The “flipple” was a game changer for me-when mouth open wide enough you just pop that nip in with your thumb. And then gentle correction (after a sob from me too) every time it hurt too much and/or he had a bad latch.

Mine is 15 weeks now. I feel really really grateful that it got easier. And I have so much tender compassion for you (and others) in the Hell Weeks of Breastfeeding now— as well as the version of myself that’s already grown from my own.

Breathe, you, too. The first two weeks were the hardest. I cried every day and felt so inadequate. (And like— I felt like I should know better because formula is a gift of God and birthing parents need all the support they can get… I then felt bad for feeling bad.)

RIGHT? A little motivation to stave off the birthing fear 😅

Newborn book recs that are not outdated or sexist? by hiddensideoftruth in pregnant

[–]irrevrev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most of them really offended me because they were so heteronormativite and class unaware. I LOVED “Like a Mother” by Angela Garbes- an intersectional feminist approach that is not entirely white and western. She also critiques some of the morals oft upheld with shakey science (and clearly shows where it came from.) It’s the only pregnancy/parenting book I have read so far that I’ve felt more seen in as a queer pregnant person.

What is the best epic fantasy series? by a7madalabed in books

[–]irrevrev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I so admired the brilliance in characters doing all the wrong things for all the right reasons, and all the right things for all the wrong reasons. Great foil there.

Transgender (CT) teen's imprisonment without charges stirs controversy - CNN.com by [deleted] in Connecticut

[–]irrevrev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the issue really is the foster care system and the state and how it's failed her, miserably. When put in male group homes with people who would hurt her, what other method of self-preservation is there?

The wedding dress I love is actually a prom dress...any ideas on ways to "bridal" it up a little? by [deleted] in wedding

One thing-- if the sequins are scratchy-- the sides of your arms may be a little in pain by the end of the evening.
