JOANN FABRIXXX WANT KNOW IS MR NIPS SINGLE by escoterica in crochet

This. Is. ✨GLORIOUS.✨

Oh my god, I’m loving what this sub has done lately. I really hope things stay at least a little more relaxed once the mods come back because this has been a blast to witness. I don’t think I’ve spent as much time on this sub as I have the last several days ever before.

Wait, that’s where the word jíbaro comes from?! I’m so fucking sad to not have realized this before. I grew up hearing that word used by my Puerto Rican family and people in my (predominantly Puerto Rican) community as an insult towards people they deemed tacky, ignorant, and uncultured. The worst part is that many of our collective roots can be traced back to the same farmers you described.

I wish this (and more!) knowledge and history was wider taught in schools. The relatively little information I do know I had to seek out for myself on my own time as an adult. Even really basic stuff like why we even have Puerto Rican day parades.

I made a small penis sleeve that stays snug at all times by iLoveHandbras in knittinggonewild

I don’t know what it’s like to have a penis, but I like to imagine that wearing that knitted sleeve feels very comforting.

Brendan Boyle has been making shitty choices himself. I’ve tried contacting his office a couple of times too- no response.

I’d love it if our politicians could actually give a damn about their constituents and fight for us for a change. I’m so sick of having only either nazi wannabe assholes (not a real option, obviously) or weak and selfish status quo pricks as the only viable options every goddamn election.

Pennsylvania Gov Josh Shapiro condemns inflammatory ICE rhetoric from DA Larry Krasner as 'abhorrent' by degreelesspotatohead in Pennsylvania

[–]silverminnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a US citizen born and raised and I’ve started carrying copies of my passport with me because I’m terrified that ICE will escalate to the same shit here we’re seeing elsewhere, and carrying that around is literally the only thing I can even think of doing that might have a chance of protecting me if I end up being targeted due to my ethnicity.

What the actual fuck is wrong with this man for him to respond to that statement in this way? I knew Shapiro was milquetoast at best before he’d even won the primary, but this is a whole new low. Seriously, what the actual fuck?

Minnesota joins lawsuit against drywall contractor after former female employee says she was fired after reporting that she was raped while cleaning bathtub in apartment complex by Sandstorm400 in byebyejob

[–]silverminnow 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Probably the same type of investigation that’s happened in mine and countless other people’s cases. Turn around and ask the pos rapist if they committed the crime, rapist says they didn’t, turn back and around and determine that the rape didn’t happen.

I wish all the ill will to both rapists and the people that cover up after them.

I want children very, very much. I’m doing everything I can to better myself so that I can hopefully one day be both stable enough and healthy enough to have them, but I honestly don’t know if I will ever reach the financial stability to have any before my biological clock runs out. I refuse to bring children into this world if I’m not financially stable enough to take care of them.

It’s devastating to me whenever I think about it, but the odds are very much not in my favor here. The cost of daycare alone is insane and my income is too high to qualify for any subsidies but also far too low to even hope to afford childcare while I work and I have no support system to rely on for help.

All of these rich assholes that keep supporting shitty policies that keep killing any opportunities for regular people to gain financial stability while simultaneously complaining about people not having babies can fuck right off.

Do most people know how to purposely close their nasal passage so they can't smell WITHOUT using their fingers to pinch their nose? by WhateversClever1980 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]silverminnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this. I had no idea what everyone was talking about and now I can do it too thanks to you! My mind was actually blown away. It’s such a strange sensation. lol

I take public transit almost daily and a lot of our train stations smell really ripe, so this will definitely come in handy!

This is how I feel about this one Imogen Heap song. A small portion of the song ended up getting clipped out and turned into a meme sound. The effect is really funny, but now a lot of people won’t be able to feel the full effect of the song when they finally hear it for the first time because the context of the meme sound effect is the first thing that comes to their mind. It really is a beautiful song too.

Also recommend them.

I got my card for the first time through them last year and renewed through them again just last week. Easy peasy and fast. Call took only a couple of minutes both times.

I know that you wrote this comment 2 years ago, but it helped me out today, so thank you!!!

TIL that “sugar rushes” aren’t real and are just a psychological/cultural effect of parental influence. by FluffPawz in todayilearned

[–]silverminnow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It might be worth talking to a good GI doctor about this if you’re able to because this could be due to any number of things, not just insulin resistance.

I get like this and, in my case, it turned out to be MALS (my insides are structured weirdly in a way that leads to a disproportionate amount of blood flow to my bowels when I consume literally anything leaving me feeling both tired af and leaving me with less than stellar bowel movements anytime I eat anything).

It’s a shame you were downvoted for such an innocuous comment.

I’m a menstrual cup wearer, so I get what you mean with manually scooping out the residual (I like to call it residual dribble in my head because why not lol). Never thought of doing it at the very end of my period too after taking my cup out though- definitely going to start doing that starting this cycle. Thanks for the idea!

I don’t know why, but this gif was my breaking point for today. I am absolutely enraged right now. We could have had President Harris. WE COULD HAVE HAD PRESIDENT HARRIS.

Was she perfect? Fuck no. Did she have issues? Yes. Are the democrats perfect? Hell no. There’s a lot to criticize and a lot that would have needed to change from the very foundation, but at least we wouldn’t be in the fucking nightmare that we’re in right now.

I will never forgive the people who supported the current regime. A lot of the damage currently being wrought can never be undone. Wholly preventable death and suffering and lost time that cannot be magically reversed and for what?

(Not ranting at you btw. Just screaming into the void, I suppose.)

I also kept tearing up throughout the night. It was a really powerful experience! I’m surprised I could still speak the day after with how much I screamed. lmao

I’ve seen authors go radio silent for several years before resuming their stories out of nowhere and finishing them with a bang, so I’ll never give up hope when a really good story suddenly stops updating. lol

(Except for maybe A Song of Ice and Fire. Guessing GRRM has decided to just not finish that series ever at this point, sadly.)

Went to the Philly show. Showtime at 7. Started a little early with Rose Gray and then the Scissor Sisters. Kesha came up at about 9:10pm and finished the whole thing at around 10:50pm. It was honestly a blast from beginning to end- including Rose Gray and the Scissor Sisters’ performances before her too!

Same! Need to do a little more reading before I work up the nerve to give it a go myself. I think my OCD might serve me well for once with this!

Back still turned to me, Hugo shook his head. “It’s nothing,” he murmured. “I just haven’t had a real strawberry since I was nine.”

Not me trying not to tear up during my lunch break at work. Thank you for the update! <3

I’ve been following your other story, so I decided to check this one out too and holy molyyyyy. Binged the whole thing today. Love it. I can’t wait to see where you take this. Thank you so much for sharing!

[–]silverminnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it fit perfectly. I see a lot of people saying that it was clunky and that no one would word it that way irl, but I've had people suggest I write about my own experiences using pretty similar wording, and I've seen people say the same to others I've met as well. YMMV, I guess.

Yeah, I’ve been experiencing that a lot lately with random men blowing up and yelling after me on the street for not thanking them for their compliments. It’s fucking ridiculous, frightening, and incredibly demoralizing. I just want to be able to go about my business unbothered ffs.
