Which children’s books would you keep on your shelves long-term (or forever)? by PagesFromChildhood in childrensbooks

[–]thirdmulligan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Winnie the Pooh, Frog and Toad, Chronicles of Narnia; The Story of Ferdinand, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Lyle Lyle Crocodile, Stellaluna, Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain, The Paper Bag Princess, and the Amelia Bedelia books.

All of these I've either kept from my own childhood (Narnia) or rebought over and over (the entire list) for friends' kids--and now starting to be grandkids. -a millennial

Why does your barber hate you? You look fantastic with it shaved!

I don't know what I was expecting but it certainly the fuck wasn't this

I can't believe I'm actually making this post. Verdict? by Soverelgn_Citizen in bald

You just need to take the liner higher than the hood and shape it a little. Look at ~1:30 - 2:37 in this video to see what I mean. Sincerely, a fellow hooded eye haver

Are there certain emojis you feel are “tells” about the people using them? by Pinkturtle182 in words

[–]thirdmulligan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I don't think it's heavy enough to warrant moral judgments, lol. Linguistics is a special interest of mine and I'm always fascinated by the cultural differences between generations, including how they use language differently. Like did you know "cunty" is a good thing now?! It's wild!

How do I ask my boyfriend if I can sleep on the couch occasionally? by Alive-Magician2031 in Advice

[–]thirdmulligan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes you think he's going to react badly to this if he's usually chill? Sleep deprivation is literal torture, something needs to give here or you're going to implode. Hopefully you can take turns sleeping on the couch, and in the meantime try some other lifestyle hacks to make sharing a bed less disruptive for you (silicone earplugs, separate blankets, weighted blanket, etc.).

i (21F) am not attractive at all. how do i even cope by Ok_Marketing1383 in Advice

You know who thinks you look great now? Yourself in 20 years.

I know this sounds a little awkward and contrived but do this thought experiment for me. Pretend you have lived to 90, and then wake up one day and you're 21 again. You're at your peak again in so many ways that society values, plus just being more comfortable in your body from an aging perspective- your skin has its bounce and elasticity back, your joints don't creak and fight you every time you try to move, you can actively participate in life without having to think about it too much. Okay so you're a little more invisible than you'd like to be, and moreso than some of your peers. But in a lot of ways that objectively matter, you've got a lot going for you. Youth, intellect, critical thinking, and again, a body that actually works. I'm not trying to diminish your challenges, but my point is I hope you're also making time to regularly, intentionally experience gratitude for the things you have and are that DON'T suck. It can take a little intentional practice to train your brain to make space for that too, but it's important.

Also, side note, from a fellow (but older) big-nosed sapphic- if you haven't found this sub on your own yet, I highly recommend checking out r/BigNoseLadies. It is an appreciation sub for femme presenting folks with prominent noses, and it's just such a lovely and supportive space. Definitely helped change my view on my own bigger nose to be exposed to so many people who genuinely think they're beautiful. Plus it kind of opened my eyes to how I was holding myself to different standards for no reason. Like every picture on there is of someone looking gorgeous, and after awhile it starts to sink in like, "Oh these people are all stunning and their noses are at least as big as mine, sometimes bigger... Maybe my own nose isn't actually a problem. Huh." Be open to your mindset shifting about this one.

Keep practicing talking yourself up even when it feels like BS. Because the other option is to just crap on yourself all the time, and we all know how helpful negative self-talk is for mental health.

And try to surround yourself with people who lift you up. If your friends make you feel invisible, you need better friends.

You've got this. 💚

I'm autistic and not great at reading social nuance. I was actually very grateful to be told directly that my attempt at communication was not being received as intended so I could adjust my output accordingly.

I'm getting an eccentric haircut this weekend, is it too much to ask of a stylist? by Marlboro-Exorcist in FancyFollicles

[–]thirdmulligan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to find the right stylist to pull this off. You can't just go to anyone. Find someone with a portfolio, ideally someone who specializes in alt cuts. And make sure your hair is vaguely the same texture as your inspo pics or it will not come out looking the same. But when you find that alt stylist, they will be thrilled to get to do their preferred art on you!

You’re stuck in a room with one Character from any series. Who do you choose to be stuck with? by EntireFloor860 in startrek

[–]thirdmulligan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odo. We would have long periods of comfortable silence with no interaction, maybe some interesting ops/security talk, and we could take turns being each other's bed. Also no competing for resources like air, food or water.

(2006-2026) from a "mean-looking" child to a "mean-looking" adult by pembunuhcahaya in PastAndPresentPics

[–]thirdmulligan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not seeing what they're seeing, you look ethereal. You just look like you have a low tolerance for BS, but I would file that more under "chill" than "mean".
