Chronically ill/disabled. She/her. I do misc art stuff when my hands cooperate. Reading trashy books, playing lots of video games. Stack of bats in a trench coat.
Luckily I'm not the worst of fragrance triggered, but this doctors office was just really fucking bad! Gonna have to go back one more time because of the sunk cost fallacy, but once I get that procedure done, I'm bouncing

And even when you get the good drugs (xolair), any one thing can still tip over the whole apple cart. Almost a week into hives all over my arms because I went to a very stinky doctor's office that only had soap from bath and body works. Now I get to be a freak who brings my own soap places 😭

Fwiw I'm starting xolair next week and I was prepared for a huge fight and all I ended up having to do was give the speciality pharmacy consent to ship to my doctor. I know I'm incredibly lucky and it's different for everyone, just that my anecdotal n of 1 was way less fraught than I anticipated.

I'm not sure how obvious it will be without understanding the geography and the demographics, but where it narrows towards the middle, that's cutting through the middle of Charleston County and conveniently carving around some of the more Black neighborhoods, and the wider sections are more rural

She ran in a congressional district that's gerrymandered to hell and back in the bluest part of the state. One that was held by a democrat before it was redistricted to be sufficiently gerrymandered for a ghoul like mace to win. Don't tar everyone in the state with the same brush.

Lots of countries have legal limits on how many families you can donate sperm to, which is probably why this fucking creep did it in a bunch of different countries

Not op but I have both that mask and a flo mask and I find sweaty factor as follows:
1) aura: mid sweaty, least comfy, worst seal (for me, give me sizes and colors, I beg)
2) flo: mid sweaty, best seal, comfy
3) breathe99: most sweaty, most comfy, mid seal
Tend to wear the 99 more in winter

Also re: the "grow your own fresh food" gang, most of what people are gardening is fruits and vegetables that, while healthy and important, are not calorically dense at all. Even in the height of growing season, it is extremely difficult to grow enough calories to sustain you.

Sometimes I get a bleak laugh out of them as I'm scrolling past, like earlier this week when I searched "when to harvest ground cherries" and the AI summary was basically, "you harvest ground cherries when they're ripe :D"
(The actual answer, per reddit, was "when they're on the ground," lol)

Years ago I babysat for some wee British children and one of them was getting read his autobiography before bed. I vaguely knew Dahl was a bigot before that, but holy fucking shit!!!

Yeah this is an "error" like the first time Joanne got caught liking TERF tweets on main was an "error." Look how long that pretense lasted.

I've been playing with someone who has done like seven full play throughs, but right after we started, one of my d&d buds asked to play with me for the exact same reasons you're describing, and I think it will be fun for the two of us to rumble around incompetently

You can make your "private" [often horny] scenes invisible to the other player(s), but that seems almost worse to me, like I'm doing something too scandalous for my friends to see

Specific person. You play with up to four party members, but I think playing with two real people, two characters is a good balance of getting the game narrative and having a social component.
