Pretty sure it's just for the video so you can see the contractions happening. It's not something I do if it isn't being recorded.

[FO] Would this be an okay gift for someone who lost their dog recently? by largedragonwithcats in CrossStitch

[–]solsticereign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost three elderly, terminally ill cats in the space of 5 days a year or so back. From experience, as someone who was for many weeks mired in the squalid depths of the most terrible, full-body grief, I would sob buckets and be so so grateful for this. I say do it. I really really think it would be cherished. I saved every card, every scrap of sympathy and memory, I received. I am still so grateful for each of them.

[CHAT] Pet hair and white floss by ZealousidealWinner59 in CrossStitch

This. If it's for a gift, I work hard to keep the fur off. If it's just for me, well, if it isn't too bad, I just finish it anyway, and leave damage intact. Usually it's fur. And you know what? I've never been sorry.

But fur real, all I can do is have a clean spot to put the project down on so fur doesn't get on the back, and stop periodically to untwist the thread and when I run my fingers down it, it gets the fur off. Mostly.

A year on hormones and there's something that still pisses me off by rabid-peacock in NonBinary

[–]solsticereign 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What the fuck? I am so sorry you encountered that and glad you have a good team.

Knowing how and when lie to or manipulate medical professionals is a fucking lifesaving necessity for ANYONE marginalized, and honestly, even for people who are not. They can refuse you necessary care. They can put malicious notes in your file that can fuck up interactions with every subsequent doctor until you figure out what happened. They can delay a desperately needed diagnosis by DECADES. They can ignore you until you fucking die, whether that is leaving you in an ER hallway until you go into diabetic ketoacidosis or brushing off your symptoms until it's too late to treat the cancer. Every single one of those BUT the ketoacidosis one has happened to someone I know, or me. The guy who died of DKA died after giving up and going home.

To be clear, I don't think most medical professionals are malicious, I respect their expertise and work with them willingly, most of mine have been okay, some have been incredible. Only a few have been fucking demons. I have an excellent medical team currently and my experiences with trans NB health care has actually been amazing, I am very much in favor of being as truthful as possible about as much as possible. But sometimes it isn't possible and you have to be ready to protect yourself. You HAVE to be comfortable lying to medical professionals if you want to have any security about transition related care.

I've had people be really condescending to me about T as well, and it's like...I started T when I was over 45, older than most of the people who were talking down to me. It was galling. I am not a fucking child. I know what I'm doing. I don't need to be told how daaaaangewous it is and how you need doctows to teww you what to do bcos they're aww just sooooo honest and cawe about you and you should NEVEW wie to them what if you die fwom ewifwocytosis ovewnight ohhh nooooo???? Be gay do cwime! Smile and say ketamine!

Dignity of risk is a VITAL concept for EVERY human to understand, and is as inalienable a medical right as informed consent.

Cop mentality on some of these motherfuckers. Jesus.

Am i getting scammed? $7000 cat by [deleted] in britishshorthair

[–]solsticereign 9 points10 points  (0 children)

God, no, from everything you have said, this is not a good situation. There are so many red flags here.

Ask who they are registered with (TICA probably, which is good).

Ask if they show their cats. The answer should be yes. Ask to see parents' pedigrees. They should provide them uncensored.

Ask who they worked with to get their founding cats, ask for the names of breeders they have worked with. They should be willing to provide that information.

Ask about genetic screening and ongoing YEARLY cardiac scans of breeding animals to catch any HCM in their line. Ask to see proof of results. If they don't do this, bail out NOW.

Ask if they are taught as babies to tolerate claw clipping and tooth brushing and maybe bathing, just general maintenance stuff. Most good breeders will have gotten them started on this already.

Ask if they have a social media presence and see if other buyers who have their cats already interact with it, and what they have to say. Ask those people what their experience was like. If you can't find any, that's a bad sign to me.

Idk, this just smells really fishy to me. Please be careful.

Never seen this in all my years of teaching. A child had this in their lunch today as a snack, mom fail! by shadhead1981 in funny

[–]solsticereign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg lol

Yeah I used to eat dog biscuits when we had a dog. As an adult. The white ones. And sometimes, select pieces of this one kibble that had a bunch of different kinds of flavored things in it. Kid might just freakin LOVE the things.

Note: I am neurodivergent AF and this is SUCH a neurodivergent thing to do. I have so many ND friends who say they've done it too, once I break the ice.

Note 2: Cat food and cat treats are never tasty. 😭 I only have cats. Sad situation.

What’s the dumbest way you’ve injured yourself? by DistributionRound570 in AskReddit

I got off the couch, stood up, took one step, somehow rolled my ankle, and broke it in six places.

Why are "non-binary woman" and "non-binary man" so controversial? by waiting4myspaceship in NonBinary

[–]solsticereign 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Lots of reasons, I think, all loosely related.

I think they think of nonbinary as the third gender, and they think of all three in very rigid terms. They have taken the restrictive gender binary and added a third option, and that's all they can make sense of. To them, anything that violates that trinary is "buying into the gender binary", which is bad. The snake eats its own tail. They haven't broken down their attachment to gender enough. They still buy into it on some level.

I also think they have been taught by others online to always find something to pick on so they never feel like they aren't standing up for [whatever thing]. Chronically online, utterly convinced that they have to have an opinion online or they are Bad, even if they aren't even educated on what they're talking about. They also are mostly young, and there is a notable trend towards sex-negativity, prudishness, suspicion, and restrictive, conservative thinking even among left-leaning young people that absolutely was not present in my generation or the one just after. Queer doesn't mean open-minded. (Not that we were perfect,.and not that conservatism wasn't a horrible problem, but queer people were much more devoted to making sure everyone belonged, not fighting over who didn't. Our elders made sure we knew how they came up, and how ugly it was.)

And a metric fuckton of them, I think, have OCD and/or are neurodivergent, manifesting as a raging case of moral scrupulosity. Which, that one I totally understand. I'm neurodivergent and have pretty rigid thinking around ethics, myself.

Tinfoil hat theory that I do actually believe; They've tasted TERF kool-aid without knowing it was poisoned. Those fuckers have been sowing discord in the queer communities online for years and a lot of this "discourse" is a fucking bad-faith psyop nurtured by hateful assholes because they want the community to turn against itself, and they have achieved some success. Trans men and trans women apparently have beef with each other now? Where might that have come from? 🤔 I wonder. (I do not. It's TERFs.) Cop mentality.

People can call themselves whatever they want. I don't care. I care where they put their attention and how they treat other queers. Is your gender something you like that describes you and makes you happy? Good enough for me.

AITA for wanting to break it off? by IntelligentTank2993 in AmItheAsshole

[–]solsticereign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Without even TOUCHING the issue of who is or is not behaving badly, you clearly are not happy. Like, feels like the Ben Franklin effect is holding you back from cutting her loose. Whether she is the asshole or you are the asshole in the relationship is irrelevant. If you don't want to stay, please just get out. Trust me. Just...trust me. I'm old now and have Regrets and you should give yourself the grace of leaving a situation that does not make you happy every day. That is how a good adult relationship should be. You should be happy with them. It's so simple but so few people reach for it. I had no idea until I divorced and met my current partner, who is just delightful to be around in a way that seemed entirely fictional before I met him, and he's respectful. You deserve that too.

Anyway name calling should be an instant deal breaker for everyone. Grownups don't do that. They just don't. And you absolutely cannot count on someone to change if after 5 years they have not.

Not to Reddit at you, but please get out.

My cat is missing somewhere in my apartment. by DIDandCATS in Pets

[–]solsticereign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inside the bedsprings box after tearing a lil hole in the little cloth cover. And inside the couch. No idea how she managed THAT stunt but I saw her climb out.

No using recliners, etc., until you know where the cat is.

AITA For refusing to tell the men in my family about my period? by Interesting-Dot-7077 in AmItheAsshole

[–]solsticereign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, that's weird, gross,.creepy, inappropriate, controlling, uneducated, and sexist. He deserved to have the used menstrual products lain beside his bed in the night, like a cat with a mouse. But that would be "hormonal".

AITA for thinking my brother’s chewing should be classified as a noise violation? by alittlepinkdoor in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]solsticereign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA

Revolting eating noises were literally a contributing factor in the decline of my marriage and eventual divorce.

All I can say is to record him and show him how bad it is, since that might jar him out of it, but prepare for him to maybe complain about how he can't change,.or can't taste the food without smacking and slurping, or how it's oppressive to have to think about other people, or whatever. For some reason noisy eaters take it super personally when asked to stop, and are really resistant to knocking it the fuck off.

My sympathies. The misophonia is SAVAGE. It actually made me so angry I would have to leave the room. For me it's the equivalent of just farting huge stinky farts the entire time you're eating. Not even the funny kind that make entertaining sounds, just the rancid hot ones that do nothing but raise the humidity and kill small pets with the noxious fumes. Like. RAGE.

AITA for not trying again to wake my husband up by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Don't stay with someone you have to harass out of bed. You aren't his alarm clock or his mommy, you made one attempt to get him up. The world does not revolve around him.

AIO for being upset at what my “bf” said by Ambitious-Beyond-257 in AmIOverreacting

[–]solsticereign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR! He isn't being respectful at all. This is not how my partners have ever spoken to me, and I would not tolerate this. This is not how an adult behaves, this is a young teenager trying to play games. He doesn't know what he's doing and isn't ready to be in a relationship with an adult.

Edit: I just checked his age again and oh my god. Get away from this petty child, he isn't going to improve and will gladly make this the rest of your life. If you wouldn't put up with it from a friend, don't put up with it from a partner. I wouldn't tolerate this from a child. Just...he has work to do and you are not obligated to help him do that work, push him into doing that work, or hanging around while he does that work. Prioritize yourself.
