  • Oh and, what's helped me tremendously is to learn to tailor a little bit. Men's trousers are often too tight in the hip for me and then still have a weird gap at my waist. So I just slightly change them. Also, depending on the type of clothing, re hemming stuff is some of the easiest tailoring you can do, so, if all you can find are midi skirts, you could shorten them. If you want to know what they'd look like as mini skirts, roll them up at the waist until they're as short as you like. We used to do that to our school uniform ones, haha.

  • Hey friend!

    For skirts: honestly,what works best for me for clothing that doesn't conform to agab is to go for stuff that has the measurements written out. Get a tape measure and figure out the narrowest circumference around your belly. That's your waist. Then the widest circumference around your hips. Depending on where you want your skirt to sit, the waist band size should be between those two measurements. I find that bottoms sit better when they're only tight in one place, such as a circle or pleated skirt vs a pencil one. Maybe that'll be different for you if you don't mind revealing your hip shape! Also, just go to second hand shops (I remember some good ones from Edinburgh, though I've only been there to visit a friend), and try, try, try things on.

  • My partner got me a custom engraved snuffbox for our anniversary. It's hexagonal, both of our favourite shape :3

    Edit: it closed with magnets in a way that you can also rotate the lod endlessly and the magnets snap together when the lid and lower part align. It's a great fidget toy too!

  • This is honestly kinda scary to read. You want an intransparent software that can by definition not think to try and check what facts are correct instead of doing it yourself? And that's if we're assuming there's no intentional fact skewing in the software.

  • I'm a non native English speaker and I've never heard it pronounced like the letters would be pronounced like in my native language. Always like English (with an accent). Do french speakers do that?

  • I'm a little better these days. It takes a lot of mental bandwidth for a lot of time. I've retrained myself to just rub my fingers together or sth. Meds help to stay on it. Also lots of moisturizing, so 1) you get to do sth with your hands and 2) there's less stuff to pick at. I'm far from cured though- managed to grow my nails out, but still get my cuticles bleeding regularly.

  • The psychologist who did like a shortened test on me actually recommended against going further and also getting diagnosed by a psychiatrist if I don't want any official support. Just not worth a lifetime of discrimination within the medical system. I'm noticing it happening with my ADHD diagnosis. That one's worth the discrimination though, since the treatment is a life saver (potentially literally).

  • Whenever someone suggests the ole remove distractions, I get reminded of that Rick and Morty scene that's like I NEED TO GET ALL OF THIS SKIN OUT OF MY PERSONAL SPACE. Then the character flays themselves.

    Thinking about it, if this were possible, I'd probably continue picking whatever is underneath.

  • As much as this sucks, it's not just birth control. Medication that was legalized when laws and regulations were more lax will stay legal even if wouldn't be permitted nowadays. Famously, aspirin would almost certainly not be legalized today because the necessary dose is too close to the dangerous dose. Of course it's sexist as shit that they're only starting to researching male birth control in the current day.

  • It's a bit silly that you say 'goddammit neurotypicals' because they don't communicate their need to leave, but you don't seem to communicate your need for them to leave either. Just tell them you're tired and would like for them to leave/leave soon. I do this and nobody has ever been offended. I guess someone who'd get offended by direct communication like that wouldn't be friends with me because I be like that.
