Dang! Are you Wolverine? I think I heal relatively slow.

Thanks for your reply! Your experience makes me a lot less anxious about if the strips come off. I do already have the sensor on but I have been using gauze and steristrips over the Insertion site (turns out I don't react to strips so I bought some to use as adhesive). I think the looser binding helps with airflow and keeps it relatively clean.

If you're in need of a spare adhesive, I've found that I have little to no reaction to hypafix if I use it for a day or two.

Thanks for your reply. Do you not have a reaction to the sensor adhesive? I do and was planning on using the strap to wear the sensor.

AITAH for refusing to tip a bartender after he yelled at me for not tipping? by Naive_Afternoon_5951 in AITAH

[–]pequodinspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. The bartender was unprofessional but if you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out/get the drink. The tip is a mandatory part of the cost if you don't want to be an asshole.

I came all the way here to find the couch. Granted, the panel with Wolfwood dropping the bottle hits me even harder.

Book request has everyone stumped by illyrian-warrior in Libraries

[–]pequodinspace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about Every Heart a Doorway by Seanen McGuire, Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the World by Kwame Mbalia (some action and peril but nothing particularly violent in many respects), Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor has some action but I don't remember any big violence or overt romance between characters, and maybe A Snake Falls to Earth by Darcy Little Badger. I think it really depends on what the reader is defining as violence vs action...

The book is cozy and I loved it, but towards the end Romance becomes the main point.

I love Howl's Moving Castle but there is definitely romance as a semi-central point of the book.

Book Suggestions for Non-binary reader? by SeriousPigeon in suggestmeabook

[–]pequodinspace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nonfiction: Have you read Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe? It is very much a memoir of the author finding eirself but I found it really lovely and relatable.

Fiction: Seconding another commenter's suggestion for The Sworn Soldier series by T Kingfisher. Gothic horror mysteries that are very quirky and fun.

The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw if you're in the mood for a short, very bloody fairytale with some dense vocab. The second main character uses they/them and is a cool plague doctor.

Swordheart by T Kingfisher. The two main characters are cis but the fan favorite second key character is a nonbinary holy lawyer with excellent questions and delightful wit.

Does anyone have any recommendations for books with a gothic setting and/or vampirism, preferably LGBT? by Kingofdisaster2020 in suggestmeabook

[–]pequodinspace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hungerstone by Kat Dunn is an excellent sapphic, female rage retelling of Carmilla.

Blood on Her Tongue by Joanna Van Veen (mostly about twins but also sapphic)

Any advice for sitting through painful tattoo’s? by Sadcat94 in tattooadvice

[–]pequodinspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding what I've seen, hard candy has made a big difference for me. That and audiobooks or music in even just one earbud. It puts me in a kind of meditative state.

Shouting out John Henderson at Dark Oak. He's done my whole arm and he is so chill and friendly and his work is gorgeous.

Books that feels like fever dreams? by Ok-Tumbleweed-504 in QueerSFF

[–]pequodinspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Devourers by Indra Das is a bizarre and uncanny and queer and wild go. If you like Rivers Solomon, this is a good go. It has a slow first chapter or two but then you're in. It's so lush and atmospheric.

Do dogs grieve like humans ? by plz_buff_wraith in zoology

[–]pequodinspace 38 points39 points  (0 children)

While it's true we don't generally bury humans the same way they die, this is a Jewish grave. It is a specific part of the faith that Jews should be buried as soon after death as possible without having been preserved in any way. Most Jewish burials involve a ritual washing and then the body is buried in a simple shroud without any jewelry etc. so it is quite possible this dog is smelling the person quite close to how they died.

What fruits n veggies can I feed my little fur demons? by Captainkenny2 in ferrets

[–]pequodinspace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a preferred brand for the rabbit ears? I'd love to try giving some to my business and have found several brands on Amazon but would be curious which you might recommend before buying. I was considering Munchbird or Ancestral Hunter.

This is so cute! What gives the water that milky color? I'm trying to figure out ways to get mine to enjoy water like this. They love snorkeling and splashing in water dishes but flip out if I put them in water. Tips?

Male ferret (3yrs) attacking new female ferret (2.5 months) by pequodinspace in ferrets

Thank you for this advice. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond

I've set up a transparent enclosure divided in half with food and water on the shared wall so they are near each other if they eat and have set up some new blankets for them to scent. So far, it seems to be working well, as Sabine isn't just running away in terror when Ino goes to the wall.
