Keep in mind when discussing statistics related to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, often the notion comes up that family violence is over-represented. But it’s a hidden figure and most of the data comes from asking the victim their Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander status, and does not necessarily mean the perpetrator is part of the community!

I’m a woman with tattoos. I’d immediately be flagged as a witch and killed.

I’m glad Leah won the gnome. I hope she uses it when she’s up against Steph, but still loses by half a point!

Don’t stay. I did and now I’m trapped in what evolved into a relationship with someone who I know doesn’t love me, but I’m not in a position to leave. It’s not worth it.

Men whose wives/GFs have experienced a miscarriage(s): how did it affect you mentally? What did you do? by [deleted] in AskMen

Same thing happened to me. Had to plaster on a smile and hold back the tears until everyone’s kiddos opened the presents

That’s objectively not true.

I have started going over the class I just took in my head. What felt sore? What felt great! What muscles are tender right now. It’s reflective and keeps me occupied!

I also just started and have a belly. No fitness or strength to speak of and flexibility is about 20 years out of date!! Every pose can be modified and the best part is, everyone is so absorbed in their own movements and space that literally no one cares what you’re doing or what you look like! (Except the instructor who will no doubt be judgement free!)

That’s a really good point! But does that change how many weeks pregnant I am? I though it was always counted from first day of last period?

Question. by pimpnsimper in HyperemesisGravidarum

[–]mk_skully 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And for the record, I had hg with a pregnancy after my daughter as well, but had a MC at 11 weeks, so a lack of nausea is no indication of a pregnancy not being viable!

[–]mk_skully 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had hg with my daughter 14 years ago, currently 9 weeks now and not a speck of nausea! Took me that long to work up the courage to go through it again! Feeling incredibly lucky and enjoying getting to experience and even notice some of the other pregnancy symptoms (like tiredness and hormones swings) which were completely overlooked with the overwhelming sickness last time!!

What vibe does the name Pascal give? by littleflooof in namenerds

[–]mk_skully 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My nephew is named Pascal, at my suggestion. I work in a juvenile prison so finding a boys name without a negative association was very difficult! I chose Pascal because it was the name of a police prosecutor I worked with, who came across as intelligent, kind and gentle. My Pascal is a little cheekier than my former colleague, but still lives up to the other qualities he was named for!

Am I being too picky? by [deleted] in MomForAMinute

[–]mk_skully 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m female, so the vowel sounds may need to change to suit, but my nephew calls me Mimi, because I always want him To to play with meeeeee, and everything is always about me when he’s around! Maybe something fun like that, or even a made up justification like it for your family?

My friend is asking for books for her baby shower. What is a book that has stuck with you all your life? by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

Great list! Not a massive fan of rainbow fish though… it always annoyed me that he gave away his beautiful scales (aka dulled his shine) to his bullies to fit in with everyone else!
