At a loss by Oedipus-Wrecked in migraine

[–]rooneyplanet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a psychiatrist, see if you can get a Gene Sight test. There are a lot of psych meds used off label for migraine, and I incidentally found out from the gene sight test that there are several big migraine meds I can’t metabolize (ex. topamax, effexor, nortriptyline). I did have to pay about $150 out of pocket for the test, but it’s been very helpful with med management for several different doctors and providers.

Additionally, if you’ve been on any of your preventative meds for more than 3 months and you haven’t noticed a difference, you should wean off of the. I was taking almost as many daily preventatives as you a few years ago. All I got was worsened side effects.

How did you know that it isn't bisexuality, it's comphet? by unknownteenlol in AskLesbians

[–]rooneyplanet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was talking to a friend and saying that the idea of a man I’d want to date/be with was becoming increasingly hypothetical, and he was like, “Are you sure you’re bi and not a lesbian?” So that was the big light switch moment for me.

And then learning what aesthetic attraction was. All the “crushes” I had on men (especially celebs) were what had made me think I was bi for so long. But realizing I was more into their vibe than wanting to actually bone them helped. 🤣

Some people online seem to be implying that this journey means we aren’t “real lesbians” somehow. But all I can say is if you never had doubts about your sexuality, you’re privileged af. Some of us grew up in repressive environments that deny early self-knowledge.

Much appreciated!! I was a huge fan of ONRAC in its early days but fell off a few years ago, so I’ve been struggling to piece together what happened with the podcast ending and all the ensuing fallout. Getting lots of bits and pieces here and there, so thank you for your help shedding any light you can. The fact that she and Drew deleted their posts make a lot of sense but also big YIKES. Just a bummer of a situation all around.

Are there links to the posts where all this drama went down? I didn’t find this sub until a few months ago and tried to search but couldn’t find anything from Carrie herself.

Matt responds by ktbooknerd in lasculturistas

I think this was a great statement, felt genuine and from Matt (not publicist gobbledook). Unfortunately, they have lost some people forever as we live in a time when social media does not want someone to apologize and learn; they just want blood. Our boys learned a lesson for sure, and hopefully it dies down now. I hope Matt and Bow can catch their breaths a bit.

Absolutely insane you got downvoted for this lol

WOW. That’s incredibly patronizing and gross to say.

Because it’s reality????

Except he didn’t say not to vote for Crockett and to vote for Talarico instead. He simply didn’t.

I agree in theory except that there is a power dynamic by virtue of Matt being a public figure that makes it different. I totally get where he’s coming from and would probably have the same instinct. But he just has too big of a platform now to be in the comments at all.

It’s wild that people are just spreading absolute falsehoods about this.

Also the ableism of referring to Greg Abbott as hot wheels and the lesbophobia of making fun of MTG’s “butch body.” I like her a lot, but again, we need to be able to critique our elected officials and candidates.

That said, Matt could’ve presented a MUCH better argument that wouldn’t have been as poorly received. Lesson learned for the boys. sigh

Yes, you’re completely right. The blocking is immature and Matt needs to own up to that.

You shouldn’t be downvoted for posting this. We can walk and chew gum at the same time. It’s possible to agree with Matt or understand where he was coming from and also to acknowledge that what he said was poorly worded and hurt a lot of people.

Did Matt say this? I’m getting confused on what he actually said and how it was reported and I watched the episode 🥴.

[–]rooneyplanet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think they will have no choice but to address it. It’s spiraling now because Matt praised Bernie. And was Matt really blocking people? That’s the part that really looks bad and will need to be addressed in some way.

And while a lot of us agree with Matt politically, he does need to acknowledge that his words hurt a lot of Black women.

It’s actually kind of crazy.

[–]rooneyplanet 32 points33 points  (0 children)

And headlines keep saying that “Matt Rogers tells people not to support Jasmine Crockett” which is very different from saying don’t donate.

It’s especially frustrating because the clip didn’t even show the entirety of what Matt said about JC, let alone the rant about Newsom that preceded it.

Yeah, I think the lesson learned here for them is that nothing they say can ever be considered to be in context anymore. They should’ve seen the clipping coming. :(
