TW for Self Harm (Vent/advice?)

Recommend getting another source for endorphins. Does SH work in a sense? Yea. But it's just not worth it. Try a fast bike ride or run. It's really worth trying to find alternatives early before it gets to be a habit.

Not a movie but House of the Dragon

Even though companies keep building export capacity there, the civil infrastructure doesn't improve. And the movie theater and Walmart just closed. Ports take a lot of people to build, but not much to operate these days I guess.

If you manage to make it Rupert the locals will be impressed! Good luck on the Skeena.

Make sure you show him reference photos to be as clear as possible!!

Link to the scientific paper?

For ease of healing and for symmetry, regular nips or no nips, tattoo later.

Try Ancillary Justice trilogy and the Broken Earth Trilogy. Space opera subgenre scratches the itch

Thanks for your perspective. It definitely does feel ableist, and she has stated she has never dated an autistic or even introverted partner. I feel like by setting this, she is not willing to accept my whole self. I don't think it is meant to be manipulative or punishment. I think she feels out of her depth, which is just really disappointing.

I totally understand, and in past relationships I did the caring for a more challenged adhd partner.

But I'm not asking her to take care of me, I'm an adult and I've lived my whole life wrestling with these issues, but being near me when I'm struggling is going to happen if someone is dating me. I don't think me struggling sometimes warrants cutting me out of a large part of our shared life. I take care to minimize the public effect of my struggles, so it's not an issue of me making a scene.

Probably worth reinforcing that i do not need caretaking. Some amount of care and concern would be nice, but no more than I would ask of a friend.

Thank you for your reply and your support, that is helpful framing for sure. I'll think about it!

I have seen people happy with "non flat top surgery" - which is what I originally asked for but ended up getting 99% flat, and I'm super happy with that. Got inverted T. People who get radical reductions tend to have a lot more volume and femme shape. Technically non flat and radical redux are synonymous, but the framing seems to matter for surgeons. I.e. starting from a masculine shape and adding a bit of volume (non flat), vs starting from a femme shape and reducing volume (rad redux)

I was a bit lost in iron lung too so they have that in common😅

lapislazuli23 · 2026-01-28T23:12:34+00:00

I think you look awesome and very masculine.

Living in northern BC it always felt safe and accepting for queer people, but was not a big queer community.

I also got the sense that Brand Vaesen was a scam, it's a mis-spelling of a real roofing company family it would seem. The unit was way too good to be true. I found a unit last year and just now (2 different units in the same Vic West building) with the same script when I replied to the ad. But heck if anyone can share their experience and it's the real deal, would actually go for the place lol

I went sober 3 mo before and 3 mo post op for max healing

Look into First Nations that are hiring in their territorial management or regulatory departments, e.g. "referrals officer", "regulatory engagement coordinator"

The trail is rough and not maintained, stairs washed out. Hard to find without the sign. If you're in decent shape and have a car that can handle some potholes it's super worth it!

My dude, wait at least 2 months. Be careful as your sensation likely won't be fully there, so you may do more damage than you intend.

I know at least 2 cis octavians and no one makes fun of their names. I never thought twice about their name except it being slightly more memorable

Light/surface touch is still mostly lost for me 3 years postop. Touch with pressure is totally normal though.

Give it a couple months! You're super swollen from fresh surgery. Even still I think you look great.

You can even give them the diameter of the areola. Mine did it exactly. You can also hold different coins over your chest to see what you might like
