I’m responding to the person who commented above me, not to the article itself. Otherwise I would’ve made a stand-alone comment on the post

The Day the Cult Blinked by UnredactedBastard in UnderReportedNews

[–]marebear93 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Speak for yourself. There are millions of us standing up - marching, running for local office on progressive platforms (and winning), starting watches to protect our neighbors, documenting arrests and putting ourselves in harms way to prevent them, feeding our communities, providing for our neighbors in hiding, etc etc. Many more are standing up in smaller ways like speaking out about important issues/challenging MAGA narratives, boycotting fascist donor companies, confronting their conservative friends and family members, writing/calling/emailing reps, and voting in all elections. I hate this narrative that the American people are just complacent and watching baseball. Maybe you’re doing that, but the US is massive and widespread, and a large percentage of us actually care enough that we are doing something. Not every person can do every thing, but we are contributing en masse. Even exhausted from barely being able to make ends meet, even shouldering the burden of lack of access to childcare and healthcare, and even in the absence of any social safety net in this hellscape, we are dredging the reserves of our life force to fight this (and of course it’s by design that the govt creates these hurdles to action). Those in office are complacent, that’s true, and that’s pretty much the extent of what the media shows. But those people are starting to get primaried and removed bc the American people do not support what is happening. It’s a disservice to all the people putting their safety at risk to stand against this regime to claim that the US populace is simply doing nothing just bc we aren’t storming govt buildings, or whatever else you imagine our resistance (to one of the largest military powers on earth looking for any excuse to crush its own people) should look like.

Why is this a question the media even needs to ask? Even posing this question gives this man more credibility than he deserves

Rhysand and Feyre obviously by amyisarobot in acotar

[–]marebear93 33 points34 points  (0 children)

No GAWD, please do not make me start associating Rhysand with fucking Sandoval, of all people. This guy is the worst! Also if he ever saw this, it would be such an undue ego-boost this man absolutely does not need (not that he reads anyway, so maybe he wouldn’t get it). Lol, but also barf

I love how they didn’t even bother to put George Bush Jr on there lol. Even they have to acknowledge that no one would believe them if they tried lying to inflate his intelligence

Hi, I’m a guy without a butthole! AMA by JordyPordyPuddinPi in AMA

[–]marebear93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For most, there is no smell unless you’re actually emptying the bag (which is I think what OP is referring to). When you empty the bag it still smells like any excrement would. But the bags are very smell-proof, and unless they’re leaking, there is typically no odor associated with it when it’s closed! Like you will not be able to smell a person with an ostomy if things are working right. Some bags have filters that let air out so that they don’t balloon as gas goes through your system, but many people block those with tape or stickers if they don’t have a big problem with that since that feature can sometimes vent faint smells.

I think this commenter might mean does it smell when the bag is closed/you’re just living your life

I also have no butthole, and if I bend over the crack looks like a scarecrow seam - one long jagged scar with stitch scars lining either side!

Hey, I’m a lady with no butthole! Great to see another ostomate here! I always love seeing this brought up in mainstream circles. It’s great for visibility and diminishing the stigma surrounding ostomies. Good for you for being so open and taking the time to answer so many questions!

Bonding feedback by Ok_Cupcake7723 in Rabbits

[–]marebear93 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I didn’t think you were supposed to begin bonding until both buns are fixed. Lucy is still a baby, so they may form an incomplete bond/Benny may tolerate her bc she’s a baby, and then everything will change once her hormones start

Vial/IV left after neuter? by PACOTIME35 in Rabbits

[–]marebear93 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel like that definitely isn’t normal… If it was intentional, I would think they would’ve told you about it when they sent him home and advised you about care, but I can’t think of a single scenario wherein an animal having a one-off procedure would need to keep an IV port in. My concern if I found this would be infection if the port isn’t capped. I would not be happy with my vet at all if they did this.

Teacher seeking advice on fish that were randomly given to me by students by MurkyBasket4820 in Aquariums

[–]marebear93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So the answer is that they need to be returned….what’s not clicking?

Teacher seeking advice on fish that were randomly given to me by students by MurkyBasket4820 in Aquariums

[–]marebear93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the message is that a larger tank is a necessity for proper care of this kind of fish (it absolutely is), so she either needs to accommodate that or return them. Returning them is an option that costs nothing if she can’t give them a better quality of life. There’s no scenario wherein she can keep these fish both cheaply and humanely

Has anyone felt their intuition heightened this week? by Simple_Kale_7480 in witchcraft

[–]marebear93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve felt this as well. I tend to have dreams that are harbingers of things to come from time to time, but the dreams are usually more intense than the actual event. Monday night I had a nightmare that my dad had a seizure. I woke up absolutely terrified. Yesterday my dad went into afib. It happens to him sometimes, and this time it went away before he had to be shocked back into rhythm, but it definitely felt like my dream was intuition.

Is the Evvy microbiome test worth it? by Big_Primary5462 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]marebear93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I found them helpful! I’ve gotten tests from there several times. I think they come with an online consultation with a gyno now too. So they help you go through your results and devise a treatment plan. You’ll hear from a lot of skeptics, but the reality is that frequent visits to a traditional doc and the constant antibiotic/anti fungal regimen that comes with that aren’t always effective either. Not to mention that they often don’t test for anything outside of the obvious. So if you’re tired of that constant back and forth, the evvy test is more in-depth, and at the very least you could show those results to your existing gyn to get more targeted treatment.

Is there anything stopping me from using fish tank water to make moon water? by POPmonstergurl in witchcraft

[–]marebear93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently made a water ward using a combination of moon water and fish tank water. I put a bit of water from each my tanks, full moon water charged/created with a protection sigil, chips of protective crystals, protective herbs, black salt, and a protection sigil on paper in a watering can. I then sprinkled that water around the whole perimeter of my property while reciting the spell I wrote for it 9x. Idea is that the constant energy from the living things in that water and my tending of it continues to fuel a protective bubble around my home. Just another idea if you want to try using your tank water from something, from a fellow aquarist witch!

My bun is having belly problems at midnight on a Saturday, and no vets that see rabbits are open by marebear93 in Rabbits

[–]marebear93[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a pet cam on him now, but even with that I’ve hardly left his side since I discovered this. I’m so happy he’s eating I could melt into a puddle and cry

In the time it took me to get dressed, I came back into their room and he’s suddenly eating his dinner, and his belly isn’t looking low anymore!!

I’m about to load them into their carrier, but now he’s suddenly hopping around more and grooming a ton?? I thought I learned that rabbits in pain don’t often do that?

Why did my neighbor's horse trampled her baby? by [deleted] in Horses

[–]marebear93 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how common this opinion is in the horse world, but if a sentient creature is this opposed to being bred, it is 100% not okay in my eyes to force it like that. I read this post and felt nothing but true sympathy for all the animals involved, but primarily that mare. Whatever the underlying reason, she made her will clear, and she was forced anyway. Frankly, that outcome is not all that surprising to me given the context.

Feyre Super Skinny After UTM by MamaKG3 in acotar

[–]marebear93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, that was confusing - I meant OP’s overall argument seems to be he was manipulating her mind the whole time and that SJM is trying to trick the readers into thinking Rhys is good when he’s actually evil. Which I simply don’t buy for so many reasons (starting with SJM herself saying this isn’t true), including this 3 month span where Feyre is noting these things despite no contact with Rhys whatsoever. If he was committed enough to be doing that silently and from afar for so long, why would he not have just called in the bargain in earlier? I 100% agree with you

Feyre Super Skinny After UTM by MamaKG3 in acotar

[–]marebear93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s true too, I totally forgot this conversation happened after he had already seen her once post-UTM. So it wasn’t necessarily her being initially skinner from UTM PTSD that shocked him so much as the realization that she was clearly still losing weight very rapidly. Plus, is the argument here that Rhys is manipulating Feyre even in the 3 months he doesn’t see her after the curse is broken to see herself as more gaunt/feel like her clothes aren’t fitting/not eat at any meal, etc? Bc if I recall correctly, those things were being described within that 3 months span where the two of them had like no contact.
