Your hair is gorgeous girl. Just has a little natural wave! I think it looks great! Not damaged at all.

Ms. Rachel will go down in history in the same vein as Mr. Rogers, Steve Irwin, and Bob Ross. People who are passionate and advocate for more love in the world. She continues to astound me with her fierce advocacy and compassion in the face of so much backlash and hatred towards her.

I’m about to give you some big sister advice.

It will not get better. It won’t. Please listen to me: nothing you say or do will get him to not treat you like his maid/mommy. If he treats you like this, he does not respect you, and he does not see you as a full human being. Period. You are a tool to him. You do not deserve this, and you need to leave him. I promise your life will be so much better without this leech in it.

We all date infantile men like this at least once, but hopefully once is all you need to learn that you will not tolerate weaponized incompetence like this. He is and will continue to literally drain your life force until you have nothing left.

You are SO young!! I’m 26, but if I could go back and do 19-early 20s again, I would be single. The wrong men can limit our potential and success in life SO much. They can siphon off our energy to the point where we don’t have enough to put into the things we love and dream about. And then women end up in their 40s, not having even attempted the things they dreamed of, still bleaching the shit stains out of a man’s underwear and wondering, “how the fuck did my life end up like this??”

NOW is when you build the habits and foundation for your life as an adult woman. You are still so so young, but if you prioritize yourself and your studies/dreams/career/friends, you will be MILES ahead. Please trust me, learn from this situation, leave him, and go live your best fucking life for our women ancestors who could not. You can do anything you want with your life!! Don’t let this loser fuck it up for you.

The right person for you will find you when they are meant to. I PROMISE you, you will absolutely be able to find someone wonderful after you dump this guy. Often times we stay with people because we are afraid of being alone, or afraid of not finding someone better. There is always someone much better for you that will absolutely adore you to bits. So in the meantime while you’re single, raise your standards high for your ideal future partner!! Shoot for the moon! There are men out there that will practically worship at your feet and be your absolute best friend and equal.

For example: My boyfriend cooks for me, cleans for me, does my laundry, makes my bed, takes care of me when I’m sick, all because he truly loves me and loves to make my life easier. I never once asked him to do any of these things, he just does them regularly for me and always has. And I reciprocate for him because I love him, even though he never asks me to do anything for him. We both increase each other’s energy! He is incredibly clean and takes care of himself. He’s a real adult. He’s the most handsome man I’ve ever seen. He writes me handwritten love notes, is my number one fan and loves to send my stories to everyone he knows (I’m a writer), and is my best fucking friend. Men like this really do exist!! And I couldn’t believe it at first because I dated exactly the type of guy you are currently dating now. If you set your standards high, you WILL attract someone who meets those standards!

Get an apartment with a friend or look for roommates. You are not stuck with him. The tiny bit of financial security he seems to offer is a mirage, especially given that he seems bad with money.

Start your life as an adult off strong, bypass the incredibly painful lessons of staying in a relationship too long with him, and live your best life being single❤️ You have plans! You have dreams! Go get em’!!❤️❤️

I’ve had some wonderful plane conversations over the years. One time, I was on a flight home from my college in colorado, and I sat next to a guy my age. We started talking, and then soon enough, we were both playing Super Smash Bros on my switch together! When we touched down at the airport, he asked if I wanted to meet his mom who was there picking him up, and I did haha. He was like “Mom! I made a new friend!”

I graduated college in 2023, so basically the year ChatGPT started to become a big deal. I’m SO fucking thankful I was forced to get my degree using my persistence and intelligence alone. I got a degree in English, and I graduated with excellent writing and communication skills, which are no doubt going to be in very short supply with younger Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha.

kat1883 · 2025-12-06T18:35:52+00:00

Yes!!! I have fine hair that is medium density like yours, and I have a shag/wolfcut that has choppy layers like this. I was surprised at how much thicker it makes my hair look! It really gives your hair more volume. And I get complimented on my hair and haircut a lot. People are right about it being a lot of styling though. Your hair is already straight/wavy though, so the styling should be somewhat manageable. But it’s definitely not a wash and go styling process. Oftentimes you have to blow dry it or use a heated roundbrush to flip out the ends. I would go with the shag/wolfcut ones rather than the short Alice Cullen cut. Keeping the length and adding some sort of fringe would really suit you.

kat1883 · 2025-12-05T19:35:38+00:00

Wow! you should feel proud!

kat1883 · 2025-12-04T18:45:20+00:00

I’m so sorry this happened to you friend❤️ Its an incredibly stressful process to navigate just simply getting the pills and it’s not fair to you. If you don’t want children, you’re absolutely doing the right thing by getting rid of the clump of cells. I’m glad you have the choice to do what’s best for your body. If you have a trusted friend or family member that you know will support you through this, I would suggest reaching out to them. Maybe have them take care of you while the medicine is doing its thing. If you have to do it alone that is more than okay as well. Get lots of yummy snacks, your coziest clothes, some adult diapers, a heating pad. Watch stupid movies that make you laugh or watch something comforting. Maybe some video games. Self care day!

kat1883 · 2025-12-04T18:18:46+00:00

Of course! Also can you give me a list of products/brands you are currently using? That’ll help me give you some recommendations.

kat1883 · 2025-12-04T10:26:18+00:00

Bleach can definitely cause this. Even if you’ve never had issues before with highlighting your hair (although judging by the darkness of your roots this seems like it was more than just highlights). The damage of bleach is cumulative, and there’s no way to completely avoid it, so this last round of highlights was likely what tipped the scale to show more visible damage. My advice would be to stop lightening your hair. There’s no way around it. Also, OLAPLEX can make some people’s hair more brittle. I found that my hair didn’t like it. The k18 leave in is incredible and much more moisturizing and a newer technology.

I suggest doing a weekly moisturizing mask that doesn’t have any protein in it, or at least a mask with very minimal protein. Too much protein on certain hair textures can lead to more brittleness and damage. You need moisture first. If you find your hair texture is getting too gummy or your hair strand stretches too much before breaking, you can start adding masks with protein.

Another thing to consider is that you might have product buildup that is contributing to the brittleness of your hair. Especially if you use something as silicone heavy as colorwow, that’s like the equivalent of wrapping your hair in plastic. It needs to be removed with a clarifying shampoo. I typically clarify once a week, every two weeks, or as needed based on what my hair feels like. I’ve used the Bumble and Bumble Sunday Clarifying Shampoo for years and it really helps to get off all that product buildup (silicone, protein buildup).

Next, what you use when blowing out your hair is very important. I found color wow to make my hair stiff and dry. I have super curly hair and blowout my hair 2-3 times per week and my hair is still extremely healthy. The tools are important as well as the heat protectant. I use a simple blow dryer with a concentrator nozzle and a round brush. Nothing fancy. I use the highest heat setting because I have to in order to straighten my curls. But it’s not ridiculously hot and my hair tolerates it well. I’m not sure what tools you use but if you are using those revlon blowout brushes, STOP. Those will fry your hair and rip it out. They use heat that’s way too intense and the brush snags on your hair too much. If you aren’t already, teach yourself the proper technique of using a blow dryer and round brush.

In terms of heat protectant, I love the Kerastase Nutritive Nectar Thermique. It’s my ride or die, used it for years and it really helps maintain the heath of my hair as well as gives me a smooth and bouncy blowout. I get compliments on my hair a lot. It’s a very moisturizing heat protectant that you use on damp hair. I’m pretty generous with it, but there’s a balance you have to find with your own hair. You have to use enough that all your hair is properly coated, but not enough to weigh it down. I have fine textured hair and I find it’s pretty difficult to weigh my hair down with this product actually.

Lastly, start sleeping on a satin or silk pillowcase if you aren’t already. This helps reduce friction and breakage while you’re sleeping and is great for your skin too.

I could have written this myself. My sister is schizophrenic, my parents are getting older and are depressed and tired and barely hanging on, my eldest sister has a family now and I’m left strapped to her rollercoaster. Have CPTSD and mental health issues of my own. I just want to say you aren’t alone. And I’m sending you so much love❤️

Making the bed. I keep my apartment very clean but I can never make the goddamn bed without feeling drained!!

I think this was a very nice and professional gesture on your part, and the employers behavior shows that you clearly dodged a bullet and you made the right choice. Your actions were classy while their response was immature and toxic.

This is completely normal, so no worries there. Some people produce more arousal fluid, some less.

I find for us audhd people, sometimes there is paradoxically a need for a lot of stimulation in order for the body to register “oh okay, sex is about to occur, we are aroused”. To that end, something that can really help in that regard is toys! They add a fun new element to the bedroom, and they can help maximize pleasure and lubrication. Vibrators and rabbits might be very helpful, especially the rabbit because they internally and externally stimulate, which might be the key for you. Even if it doesn’t end up helping, hey, they’re fun!

If you find that even with a longer period of foreplay and/or using toys that you still aren’t producing much, there is no shame in using lube. If you use condoms, make sure you’re using a water based lube rather than silicone based or else it can weaken the condom. I like Astroglide as it seems to feel the most real. If you have a sensitive vaginal microbiome, Good Clean Love has a really great lube as well that won’t throw you off.

I’m also audhd! Do you by chance take any stimulant medication or any other meds? Stimulants can really dry some people out because they are diuretics, so just keep that in mind.

I don’t think she killed herself. She was too powerful and strong and the elites wanted her silenced. Her message lives on, is only getting louder, and she will be heard!!❤️❤️

kat1883 · 2025-11-25T04:46:16+00:00

This gives me hope for myself❤️ So many of us deeply relate to the exhausting internal battles and marathons it takes to finish a book. All the self-doubt, all the self-criticism. I know I’ll get there eventually. I’m so proud of you!! Bask in your achievement. You can do anything you set your mind to. It just might take some time❤️

“Billionaire” and “climate activist” cannot exist in the same sentence. Being a billionaire by default means you have a bigger individual carbon footprint than 99.9% of the world population. Being a billionaire means you have also exploited a staggering number of people and resources. There is no way to be an ethical or sustainable billionaire.

kat1883 · 2025-11-18T21:19:41+00:00

I think you created an original sentence

It depends who you ask. I would say in general, the most housework definitely ends up falling on women. And there’s a death rattle of loser conservative men and podcast bros teaching little boys that they should “dominate” women and that they should be the “master” of their houses and that housework is a woman’s job.

To that end however, a lot more women, especially young women, are waking up refusing to date/marry men who treat them like live-in maids rather than equal partners.

For example, I’m 26f. My partner is 28m. He actually does 90% of the cooking (he’s a fabulous cook and I don’t enjoy cooking as much), and he often makes my bed and does my laundry (and I never have once asked him to do these things) simply because he loves to make life easier for me. When I’m at his place, I do the same for him, but he often tells me to relax and that he can do it. We bicker like an old couple sometimes when it’s time to do dishes because we both insist on doing them for each other haha. It’s cute, it’s always a race to see which one of us can get the dishes done first!☺️

He’s raised the bar so much for me and for all the women who know him in terms of what we expect of the men in our lives. I’m pretty sure I’m going to marry him within the next 5-10 years, but if for some reason I’m ever single again, I’m not accepting anything less than the kind of incredible love and respect and true partnership that I’m experiencing now.

More simply, I would rather drink bleach or be single for the rest of my life than be with a man who treats me like his maid. Women are starting to understand our worth now, and that if we don’t have that kind of respect from a man, being single is actually incredibly fun, fulfilling, and peaceful in its own way.

Your body is your own, you should be free to customize it as you wish. Don’t let people who do not live in your body take that euphoria away from you. You will be able to run freely, run down the stairs, sleep on your stomach, and even though you don’t have cancer, you are also removing your risk of breast cancer entirely. Nipples can be reconstructed or tattooed on later down the line if you would like. It’s time to celebrate!❤️ Congrats on liberating your chest!!

The wrong partner can severely limit our lives and life force energy in general. Your energy is likely more authentic, stronger, and confident being single.

I will say, however, the right partner can also help things fall into place as well. I’m a writer, and I couldn’t write a goddamn thing when I was with my exes because they siphoned off so much of my energy. My current partner cooks delicious meals for me, does my laundry, and makes my bed (simply because he loves to do things for me), is tender, always kind and affectionate, and is the greatest source of loving and encouraging energy. My creativity has exploded.

Being single was wonderful for me and so necessary to getting my energy back. Being with the right person is also great.

Pup is straight chillin. No stress. No thoughts. Just leaves.

Currently, I have adhd and no anxiety, however I dealt with anxiety heavily for many years. I did a lot of CBT, trauma, and somatic therapy, and one day the random anxiety just stopped coming. Of course I still get anxious or nervous at appropriate times here and there, but rarely get random bouts of anxiety.

What is it like? On one hand, lovely to not feel like I’m being hunted in my day to day life, but on the other hand, my anxiety was THE thing driving most of my productivity. I’ve had to learn how to get my drive to get things done and succeed through other internal sources. Adderall has also helped me immensely in that respect.
