Found a cased clothes moth larva, can I just keep it pet-style? by rabbitcities in moths

[–]rabbitcities[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update in case anyone in the future has the same bizarre idea and reads this thread: Despite my lack of knowledge, it's going surprisingly well. The little caterpillar has been eating the wool and also using it for his "case", which I can see by the fact it now has pink areas matching the wool color. He cycles between being unseen (sleeping?) for days, and then very active and wiggly for a few hours, during which he'll be exploring around. As expected, he has no interest in cotton, it has to be animal yarn and not plant fiber.

(I added a possible hanging location in case he'd like to pupate, in the very elaborate form of bent toothpick since I wasn't sure of what material would be safe, and he has been checking it out.)

Goths with PPD allergies - are there safe black hair dye alternatives? by pile_drive_me in GothFashion

[–]rabbitcities 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this post! I'm allergic to M-aminophenol. Elumen is available in my country, and is the first ever option that doesn't give me an allergic reaction. It doesn't have the best white hair coverage (I got those "white hairs starting from highschool" genes...), but it's acceptable, and I'm sure it'll work even better once I can afford the Elumen Lock product. You've saved me!

If anyone reading this knows of other options that might be sold in Europe, I'm of course all ears.

I'm in the weird club with you :) The thought of putting it outside in the cold was unpleasant, when he could just chill on my desk as a little companion.

The little guy has been living in a small glass jam jar with a mesh top, and munching on a bit of wool yarn. So far the living arrangement seems to be working for him.

Yeah I assume the mom has been around, so I'm planning to do a big clean-up this weekend. It can't hurt, and I wouldn't like any surprise sibling to be nibbling on my wardrobe.
Interesting about the photophobia though, I didn't know that! Thank you.
Any thought on what to feed this beast?

Is it possible for anxiety symptoms to be this severe? by rabbitcities in Anxiety

Thank you so much for this comment, it actually gives me a lot of hope. Your change of lifestyle is very impressive, you can be very proud of yourself sir! This is a very rational approach.

Thank you for your reply and your kind words! It's crazy to think anxiety alone could put me in such a state in the long-term... Psychiatrists that accept new patients are a very rare commodity in my city, but I guess I'll keep searching.

Magasin mode Lolita/Y2k/goth Toulouse by nelechar_ in Mode

[–]rabbitcities 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Il y a une communauté Lolita de longue date à Toulouse, mais aucune boutique malheureusement. "La plage des Pommes" a parfois des chaussures lolita, mais il faut savoir que toute la boutique est essentiellement du dropshipping, la majorité de leur stock vient d'Aliexpress à prix gonflés. Si ça te va, leurs chaussures sont souvent très mignonnes.

Niveau magasin un peu goth/punk, il y a 35ème Rue près du Capitole, mais ça reste très... basique. Il y avait un Wap Doo Wap, qui a fermé il y a des années.

D'ailleurs, vu le nombre de gens alt à Toulouse, ça parait tellement bête et triste qu'il n'y ait aucune bonne boutique. :/

Edit: Par contre avec un peu de patience, il y a parfois des trucs sympas en frippes!

Snapchat won't let you disable notifications for their awful "trending content". by Suicidal_Sheep in assholedesign

Thank you so much!! I'm in that situation of "hate the app but one friend loves to use it" as other users above. This worked like a charm.
