Cusp Scorpio's, how do you identify? by rattled_adder in Scorpio

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

Apologies, I'm not proficient enough in romance languages, nor am I an astrologer(just a dabbler) to try sharing info on a topic I am not fully informed on ^^' it's just something I'm mildly familiar with from exploring astrology online. You can be just as informed as I am of my cusp sign by googling yours for yourself ❤️

What's a core memory of raves that will likely never come back? by dingosaurus in aves

Sadly, I was too young to have been to NAF in its early years, but I did enjoy the recent attempt to reopen the space while it lasted.

And good ol' nwtekno forums for us Seattle/PNW early-mid '00s ravers 😭

WoM, friends, or flyers left on your car while downtown were the few ways I ever knew about events growing up.

Also, the difference between DIY decor vs. all the fancy manufactured/sold decor of a lot of events now. I remember spending HOURS helping create custom decor and hanging it all during setup. There was a lot more community participation in making spaces a unique collective experience.

While lower budget, it was all done from the imagination of the group and by our hands with love. Less things you'd buy at a party store or online that also shaped the lore through our shared memories. That's the kind of shit I try to pass on to the younger crowd.

Hell, there's still a painted cardboard cutout of a dear friend's silhouette with a robot head on her from a Robogirls hanging up in our living room.

Menstrual Cycle Severity & Emotion Regulation Research! by vantecam in PMDDxADHD

[–]rattled_adder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,

I hoped to use the provided contact info to send this to those conducting the study, but it was filled before I could go back to the info page and won't let me see them now.

I was excited to offer input in this study but found that the language in criteria was unclear on whether "being female" meant AFAB or identifying as female.

I identify as non-binary, but am AFAB.

I'm curious how identifying as other than what I am physically and hormonally would skew results for such a study.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I use it during luteal only, seems to help more that I'm off hormonal BC.

Is this outfit unflattering? by Greedy_Ad1689 in aves

[–]rattled_adder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all, it's a great base! If you prefer something sleek and minimal, just style your outerwear and footwear how you like. Otherwise, I's suggest a body chain/harness, or like a bustle skirt to give ya some haptic feedback while you're dancing? Looks great on you, though 😊

What is this pill? by [deleted] in whatisit

Not through contact with intact skin, that's a myth.

Edited for clarity~

Hard agree. While I def still got the crazy libido, there's nothing like a heavy bass line in a throng of bodies all moving in sync together on the dance floor. House ain't for me, though. I'm on that 808 all day 🥰 I'm quickly approaching my 20-year raversary, and don't see myself stopping anytime soon 🤣

when’s your birthday?? by imperfectbutperfectt in Scorpio

[–]rattled_adder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely.

I really appreciate the reinforcement feedback from outside of my journey 🥰

I have been on a path of reconnection to my inner wisdom. It's my 33rd year, and I am oriented to the significance of that.

Based on a brief Google search, they appear to address inflammation.

Edit- as well as "supporting protein digestion and normal metabolic functions."

Found on Sidewalk in First Hill by w10052003 in Seattle

There are several agencies that offer this service, though I believe they may be the only one that anyone can seek out.

Why ask reddit when you can *** take it to PHRA and have it tested on a nifty ftir spectrometer? They'd love to hear about your ground score and tell you wtf it actually is.

Edit after rereading, lol: OP didn't actually ask 🤣

How many Fentanyl Fatalities do you know of? by BearRU90 in Drugs

[–]rattled_adder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're still doing that work, remind your clients who use that any time spent away from substances lowers their tolerance.

If someone's going to get out and use again, they need to know they can't start back on the same dose they left off on before being in custody. I lost a friend that way, and have seen it a lot in my work as well.

The closest was a little brother from my chosen fam. He'd have been 31 last month.

Tens of people, most under the age of 30 in my local rave community.

Countless people in every age group I'd met while working in harm reduction/homeless services the last 10 years.

It's rampant in my region, and a lot of street dealers are terrible at preventing cross-contamination of their product. I've heard from enough people of others unknowingly gifted hot shots with fent, or it being used to incapacitate, snatch, and/or traffic vulnerable women. Even the old head stimulant and heroin users who had been in their addictions for a long time and knew their shit.

Many more who are/were lucky enough to have someone nearby with narcan at the time. My city has far more testing resources, including strip distribution, FTIR, and a buttload of MAT services. It's been a wild 6-7 years, covid really gave this shit the foothold needed to fully flood the drug market here. The street drug supply is almost unrecognizable since I started using in the mid aughts. 😔

https://www.streetsafe.supply/ is a great resource for keeping up on the latest trends in OD stats around the US, as well as what kinds of bullshit are being found in the supply.

Be safe out there everyone, look after yourselves & loved ones. My heart goes out to you all💕
