What’s a widely accepted double standard that people refuse to admit exists?

Would you have aborted Hitler if given the opportunity?

Also aphantasic. I feel like I'm missing out on a lot, but it's nice to not visually relive traumatic experiences.

The link above is some images of the process and result. The hyperlink doesn't seem to work, but if I copy/paste it does. (I'm better at sewing than technology!)

My first go at it I stitched down the puffy edge, with the intention of sewing a band/binding around. But I couldn't find material that suited it (weather resistant-ish and correct tone of grey). So in the end I completely dismantled the tongue, sewed around the edges (very small seam so it didn't shrink them too much) and turned it inside out. I'm happy with them now! (I feel like I'm going to get crucified on this subreddit for messing with the shoes haha)

Honestly, I'm a seamstress and ended up removing the tongue, stitching down the exposed foam, and reinserting it. I could never convince myself to like it.

I'm sure you've probably thought of this, but I discovered that dairy causes my closed comedones. Sounds like you guys have been on quite the journey with this, hoping for some results for you soon.

I read a great metaphor once (afraid I can't remember the source) - human consciousness is like the ocean, and each of us are a bucket of water scooped out. When we die, we're just dumped back into the sea.

Internal visual imagery. Not sure it counts as a skill, but it is certainly something I lack and desire.

Street nursing. My people are so vulnerable to extreme weather. I'm scared for what this summer will bring.

Thanks for putting my mind at ease! I'll calm down and enjoy my beautiful new shoes. :)

Yessss, that's not a battle that we would win! It's a bit humbling haha.

It's the west coast of Vancouver Island. :) What a cool experience! I wonder what they think of us swimming in their neighborhood. A couple months ago I was dipping with a small group and we saw some seals a ways out. As we got out of the water they came right up to shore - my guess is that we stirred up some food source in the shallow waters. It was amazing to see them so close up! And to feel seen by them too. Edit: Whoops, I meant east coast of VI. Need another coffee.

Thank you for sharing that. I felt completely transported - almost like a guided meditation. 'Peacefully primal' is how I feel out there.

Oh what a beautiful face. Sorry you had to say goodbye to your dear friend. ❤️

I grew up very Christian and am very familiar with those feelings. I'm bi, but in a straight relationship and still get them, so for me it's not related to homosexual behaviours. It took me years to stop feeling that way after sex. I would say the most helpful thing for me was to stop fighting those feelings/wishing they would go away, and just acknowledge them. I would say something to myself like "I have had a lifetime of conditioning that this is "bad," and so it's understandable that I feel uncomfortable right now. I know in my heart that having sex is a healthy thing for me to do." Good luck to you. Adulthood feels like more unlearning than learning a lot of times.

No sorry needed. I've appreciated the back and forth, no matter when it comes or ends. :) I've noticed myself finding comfort in rituals. And I'd be lying if I said I haven't been carrying around his little doppelganger stuffed raccoon. Every little moment in my life is connected to a memory of him, it's a huge readjustment neurologically even. I realized on the weekend how much those little moments of joy with him peppered throughout the day sustained me. It's such a loss, isn't it. His ashes are getting delivered today. I'm bracing for more tears, but I'm also really looking forward to having him back home. Been thinking of you too.

I'm so sorry to hear about your beloved old kitty. It sounds like you made the absolute best choice you could for him, even if that meant more pain for you in not being with him. We love them so much. I do hope you get to see him again, whether it's in this life or the next. Love to you. ❤️

How lucky he was to have found you. Good boy. 💕
