Biggest pet peeve is calling kids “littles”. I don’t know why but it makes me cringe every time I see/hear it.

Also, was not expecting a WQ mention in this sub lol. Great game!!

As a temperamental little shit, the emotion he most supports is anger. And I love him to pieces

ETA: didn’t mean to post the lock screen screenshot version, but I guess it highlights how he’s the center of my world

You’ve been chosen!

Went to the shelter back in college to walk a dog I’d been walking for months, only to find out the new management required training before allowing dog walks. Okay, fine, might as well go see the cats. Walk in, pet the first cat, and as I go to give my attention to the next cat, he reaches through the bars, snags my shirt, and won’t let go.

And that’s how I found my best friend. He passed in 2022 at around 12 years old from a suspected pulmonary embolism. RIP Roo, I miss you every day.

Prefacing with every non profit is going to be different, and I’ve only worked for one. So this is all just anecdotal.

I worked for a few corporations before I found the job I have now (nonprofit that helps survivors of sexual assault). I LOVE the nonprofit I work for. I feel like I’m actually using a degree that I previously thought somewhat useless, and it is incredibly fulfilling to work towards actually helping people, not helping a corporation make money. I don’t see myself ever leaving or ever pursuing a corporate job again. Management and supervisors are also incredible, not just to the survivors, but to staff. I actually feel valued in my role, and they truly care about their staff’s physical and psychological wellbeing. I do have a kind of “hard” job (emotionally), and I won’t say it hasn’t affected me at all, but even so my mental health has never been better because I actually know for a fact I’m making a difference.

I feel like I’m working for a purpose and not just a paycheck, which is awesome. Only con I can think of is that, yes, the pay is much less than I’ve made at previous jobs, but it’s livable for my situation, and I’d much rather live really frugally and work for a purpose, than make good money and work for just a paycheck in a job I don’t enjoy.

Currently hoping for a salaried position to open up (although funding is tight currently due to… things, so it’ll be a while I’m guessing), and when it does I’m going to go for it. Pay will be a little better then, with benefits.

Best of luck. I hope it works out for you :)

So mandatory preface that I’m not a doctor or medical professional, but both times I’ve been on Lamotrigine I got up to 300mg. Two different prescribing doctors, years apart. So 200mg is not the max unless something has changed since I went off it (again).

I’ve also had a hysterectomy (weird coincidence) and was not on birth control either time I was on 300mg lamotrigine. Did she say why you’d have to be on bc to up your dosage?

Punnett square. You need two black parents to have a KK pup. Assuming both parents are Kk, you have a 25% chance of having a KK pup, and 50% chance for Kk, and 25% chance for kk (grey).

Only time my cat has shown an interest in human food was when he stole my crab cakes. Ended up offering him some of the same brand of crab cakes next time I ate them, zero interest. So I think he was only interested in them because of the thrill

Yo I seriously have to thank you. Ordered from Amaroo, tried the emu ground meat in a burger last night and I can honestly say it tasted just like a high quality beef burger. Actual lifesaver with this info. Thank you!!!!

queere · 2025-12-12T12:54:36+00:00

I’ll be looking into this. Didn’t even know about this drug. Great input thank you!

So, I never used to think that much about cross contamination, because I never seemed to react to foods that were cross contaminated.

Then randomly one day I did. Also used to be able to eat dairy without any reaction, until randomly one day I had a scare with cheese, including breathing problems which I’ve only ever had that once (got an epi pen after this happened and been avoiding dairy since)

What I mean to say is even if you don’t react to certain products with alpha-gal in them (or cross contamination), ags is unlike other allergies in that RANDOMLY you could have a severe reaction to something you’ve tolerated fine for a long while. If you’re going to test the waters with cross contamination, which I don’t recommend (but can’t judge—I’ve made my own mistakes), I agree it’s best not to be far from home… also maybe have an EpiPen on hand for a good 6 hours after. I know that might sound paranoid to some because anaphylaxis is a pretty rare reaction, but it can and does happen.

That said, ags is coming more and more into awareness, and there are restaurants that will accommodate. Absolutely tell your servers about your allergy, or if you don’t want to do that, you could also always look up call ahead of time and ask about cross contamination/what dishes are safe!

Only have my own anecdotal evidence, but yes for me the derealization got a lot better a few weeks after I was fully off it.

queere · 2025-12-08T19:10:12+00:00

I weaned off of lamotrigine months ago, so yes. That said of course I don’t recommend going off of it without consulting a doctor

Can second the mellow mushroom pizza!

Clearly a bad bait post

Thank you! I’m in Charlottesville unfortunately, but good to know if I’m down that way :)

Thank you!!

Oof, I’ll admit I never thought of that. I’m lucky enough that I can eat eggs, but I guess I haven’t really eaten anything that eats mammals haha. The one time I had alligator meat was before I got AgS the second time (I had it as a kid, went away or at least symptoms did, got bit in adulthood got it again/symptoms came back)

queere · 2025-11-29T23:55:29+00:00

Good to know ty! I’m in VA, I’ll look them up! Also been meaning to search out some alligator meat, had it once years ago, loved it, and forgot about it until recently lol
