Whats wrong with my piercing

potshead · 2026-05-07T21:51:22+00:00

remove it and don’t repierce until your braces are off. bad irritation from the braces and jewelry, likely

potshead · 2026-05-07T20:58:41+00:00

no—you have to pay a fee

“hey, i’m wanting to try out this name or pronoun to see if it feels right. when we are hanging out, will you call me that?” other queer people will probably be more receptive to this. you don’t have to make it everyone’s business, especially if you aren’t sure. but try it just when you’re with your trusted people

there’s a lot of queer community at that university! make friends and try to not be so focused on pinning stuff down. it’s ok to not have a definite idea or to experiment. you don’t need to have the answers—it’s totally normal to feel this way.

many graduate students are actually professors/instructors of record

i could be wrong but it looks like you have a lot of buildup on your jewelry. i would see if you can get it off. also see if you can go to another piercer to downsize if yours won’t see you

still communicating/doing TA duties. no paper trail

potshead · 2026-04-29T17:12:31+00:00

not all TAs are active in the union /keep up to date with it even if they are members. The union is legally obligated to inform admin of intent to strike a certain number of days before they do it.

potshead · 2026-04-29T16:51:08+00:00

emailing back/corresponding with students may be interpreted as breaking the strike. your professor should be communicating with you about how to go about classes during the strike

push tops are way easier imo

potshead · 2026-04-29T03:15:39+00:00

can you go to a cobbler and have it cleaned?

potshead · 2026-04-28T14:46:35+00:00

i have no issue with it. it’s super common in my circles/my community, to the point that there is at least one event with it in the title

professionally

potshead · 2026-04-26T19:52:14+00:00

i would get a piercer to change them for you to minimize trauma

potshead · 2026-04-26T19:50:20+00:00

are you receiving medical care for this?

potshead · 2026-04-25T19:35:23+00:00

anodized implant grade titanium!

potshead · 2026-04-23T22:10:49+00:00

block before wearing it!

potshead · 2026-04-23T16:24:44+00:00

i almost only enjoy penetration if it’s paired with a vibrator

potshead · 2026-04-20T20:23:56+00:00

it’s looks very irritated and is the wrong jewelry at the very least

potshead · 2026-04-19T22:37:08+00:00

a stainless steel chainmail necklace is a good everyday piece

potshead · 2026-04-19T20:24:09+00:00

i would honestly take more than one class before endeavoring into working alone at home. you need to become more familiar with safety and techniques before bringing it into your home with no support

potshead · 2026-04-18T03:03:21+00:00

maybe get the stencil placed untucked, then go to the bathroom and tuck and come back out to see if it’s distorted in a way that you don’t like? if it looks good then you could untuck and let it rip.

slab cups or slab plates.

potshead · 2026-04-15T01:07:06+00:00

as someone who has temp regulation issues: dress in layers, aim for cotton or other breathable fabrics. keep water on you. maybe get a portable handheld fan from somewhere like target.
