My state has this policy, too. I wonder if it is something we can change

Is this it?

I went through an entire tissue box last night, and I’m halfway through another one today. Really great order to drink some more water ❤️

It’s incredible how much of an impact he had on so many people across the world.

I think I’m also grieving again a bit of my grandfather’s passing, because they had the same eyes. Those videos where he’s out with Ian McKellen, or even when he’s just being silly on camera hit me the most in the feels. My grandpa was also a really silly guy lol

I like to put them in the air fryer with a little bit of cornstarch and spice coating. They get slightly crispy on the outside

I’m going to have to try adding salt next time!

This sounds stupid but I’ve been crying since I found out. He has inspired me so much in my life

I’m watching Generations right now. I know, I know. But Walter and Patrick are both here okay?

Excellent name choice 🖤

That’s such a valid fear! I didn’t let her walk outside. I’d put her in a pet backpack for hikes or her carrier for tent teardown and such. There was a couple times when she tried to catch things burrowing under the tent, but I keep her nails nice and short so there was no damage to the tent.

She was so much more chill about it than I expected. I had gotten some of those calming treats with melatonin, but never ended up needing them.

That black and green thing in the background is a portable litter box with a pop-up enclosure. I had her start using it about 3 weeks before the trip, just to minimize the amount of new things for her which I think also helped keep her calm

I took my 16yo cat on a summer-long camping trip this year. She had never been camping before, but she loved it so much!

I had to put all my stuff in storage then move across the country recently. I did not bring my cuckoo rice cooker with me, and damn I didn’t realize how spoilled I’ve gotten. The rice I’m cooking in a cheap one just isn’t as good. I think it is over-cooking the rice, but it’s actually hard to dial in

I am not for the death penalty in any capacity. However, this woman kept trying to murder people while in prison, although in far less horrific and dramatic ways than she murdered Colleen. I imagine the isolation she experienced on death row had an effect on the murder attempt? She needed to be in a psychiatric hospital

(I thought I had read elsewhere that she had two murder attempts on fellow inmates, one involving a romantic partner, but Wikipedia only has one attempt so I’ll leave it at that)

I’m reading more of your comments in your thread, and I really hope your doctor can help you out. Treatment for this can range from having a feeding port installed to therapy. My family member needed both a port and therapy, but is thriving now.

I also do really understand the texture thing, I have both AuDHD and a sensory processing disorder. If I’m severely stressed about anything, I end up living off safe soft food for a few weeks until my stressor has resolved. Because some textures feel less like food that will nourish me, and more like random objects that might cause me health issues if I try to digest them. That rubbery canned meat texture, especially if it’s accompanied by a layer of fat at the top of the can… 🤢 Yeah I totally understand that :/

Have you heard of ARFID? A close family member, as well as my close friend’s autistic child have this disorder. Low appetite and the visceral reactions to various food items are common with this disorder

Her eyes are gorgeous!

That sounds incredible, thanks for the dinner inspo ^^

The one that breaks my heart is the Christian counseling services, which are so often not true therapy. There are absolutely licensed therapists out there who are Christian and can advertise that. Just hate watching people who have serious mental health problems go to counseling and hating themselves because prayer isn’t usually enough to help.

I’m a firm believer that if there is a God, he provided the tools and people to help his flock deal with modern problems. But people often turn away from using these tools or services :(

I just went through 4 years of university as an elder millenial, the youngins still feel this way and I honestly thought it was a Gen Z thing. I’d never encountered the punctuation issue before I decided to go to school again

There’s a Fundamental Christian influencer named Aria Lewis who has that “insurance”. She’s been dealing with dental problems and basically made a post one day asking her followers if that insurance was a scam because she wasn’t able to get the care she really needed

It’s crazy what problems people fall into when they choose something has “Christian” in the name over what everyone else is using

cause my face is NOT it

You actually have such a sweet, pretty face. And your eyes are very expressive in the few face pics I saw
