  • Prior to my coming out to myself, I was SA’d by a woman after being drugged.

    The many, many mental struggles that followed brought me to the basic realization that everybody, well, maybe not lizardpeople, but the rest of us all bleed if somebody just shot us. Sure, I was drugged, so it helped with feeling weak at being assaulted, but even if I hadn’t been drugged, it wouldn’t have made it any more my fault. Im not saying like “if she had a gun you’d still…”

    Anyone can be convinced by a horrible person that they won’t be safe unless they do something they don’t want to do. Gender, Chromosomes, Sexuality have no effect on that. -Full stop-



  • Sometimes, actually kinda often, people come to you who know the costs of your materials pretty accurately. “I used to own a…” and “My industry uses that too, and it…” or any info regarding your costs.

    Almost always those phrases are followed by some level of attempt to lower your prices.

    Don’t, even at the start, even if its family. You don’t even have to explain it to them if you don’t like confrontation.

    If they know it so well, they also know why your pricing is the way it is, and what they’d like you do is bend over.

    Also, relatedly, inflation always sucks, and your pricing, if fair, reflecting that will be anticipated. Trying to remain at the same price when your costs really change isn’t good business. For something like filament, idk if wholesale prices fluctuate or just go up, so leaving some space if the former so you can avoid constantly updating your pricing is cool too. For a business I used to own, I just priced factoring my gas pricing a half a dollar more than the start of the year’s, and rarely had to adjust it within a year.


  • One thing that has worked for over a year on ky backup laptop at least, is to use the only setting Microsoft seems to not be able to take away without being in trouble: Windows Update Setting: Don’t download over metered connections. Then, any network you connect to go into the networks settings and set as a metered network. The only thing that has made it through from updater was a tiny security update that it was able to download cause I was a bit forgetful once, pretty easy if u ask me





  • I would also ask this.

    Stratera was the first medication a doc put me on, and I was maybe 8 or 9 at most, but even I recall what was insufficiently described as more confidence and felt like better mood regulation overall.

    But I was drug through the least consistent medical care for most of my childhood. If I wasn’t making their lives miserable, then we just didnt go, no matter how horribly I was feeling etc etc.

    I’ve been diagnosed with AdHd/ADD by 3 seperate doctors over my life already, each with a new suggested med, and currently having to wait a bit longer than I think is fair just have a fourth doctor do the same so that I can recieve meds in this state.

    I’ve never been on any singular medication and dosage to speak on much of anything with certainty, but I do remember for a a moment that Stratera was helpful. I was only allowed to take it for a bottle or so I think, so i’m not sure.

    Pretty sure that it was one the two least gut-affecting meds I have tried though.

    Ritalin being the absolute worst, meth fucked with my stomach less than even the initial dose Ritalin did. I remember being upset with teachers all the time cause of how much time I felt I had to spend in the bathroom, so I was focused… on how anxious I was.

    Meth sucks other ways though, so don’t go get some cause you’re tum tum hurts kids. Hands down thats the dumbest shit I ever did by a long lead.







  • Ugh, I spent entirely too much time arguing this when I was still in school, ironically the most time we spent arguing with men that were more than twice my age and felt way too strongly about this.

    This is the right answer and I will not be taking any questions: 🙃

    • If it comes as a set with matching bottoms(or a gold chain) = Tracksuit/Sweatsuit

    • Light single layer + hood = hoodie

    • Light (single layer) + zipper/buttons + no hood = Jacket

    • Light (single layer) + knitted = sweater or sweater jacket if it opens

    • The other lighter layers with no hardware are just pullover

    • Heavier outterwear = Coat
