This is such a good suggestion! Sometimes a name might resonate with you on paper, but then speaking it or having someone hear it can be a different experience. I absolutely adore the name I chose; however, I never gave much thought about how certain phonetics can get tangled up when a name is a bit more unique 🤭 So many letters make similar sounds. D’s sound like B’s sound like P’s sound like V’s…

I will so be passing that idea on to others in my community 🩷

If you haven’t already, I would suggest looking into FODMAP. It’s not necessarily a diet, but more focuses on different molecules/carbohydrates that our bodies may be sensitive to that are in a lot of the foods we eat. It took me a few months of super focusing on what I ate and how I felt after to identify that I was sensitive to very common foods/ingredients (e.g. garlic, onions). If you eat something and feel gross, bloated, cramping, etc, you’re probably sensitive to something in that food. Fortunately, you can work around some of them by cooking/preparing an ingredient to breakdown wherever you’re sensitive too!

I was slightly critical of this post and tone, buuuut after checking all the recent posts…it is quite excessive.

I think the general post about the new instance is perfect, and maybe including a link to a nsfw specific ‘new communities’ sub that’s part of the new instance.

You might try changing the sort or filter to new or hot. Mine was defaulted to active I think, and no posts loaded until I adjusted sorting.

My favorite this season is most definitely You and I Are Polar Opposites. Omggg every episode is just soooo cute, and the characters are so adorable.

I’m also enjoying the 3rd season of Oshi No Ko (not surprised by this one as the series is in my top 3). Tune In to the Midnight Heart has definitely grown on me too! I started Champignon Witch and expected to like it more, but I kind of zoned out during the second episode. I’m going to try picking it back up this week!

I’ve been seeing some great discussions around Journal with Witch and will probably start that up before the season finishes!

I feel like the last few years have been amazingly consistent. Sooo many good ones getting new seasons, some great originals, and many thoughtful and beautiful adaptations. Sooo happy to see it!

Yess! Started buying those late last year and will definitely not be going back to any of the others! Sooo yummy and crunchy!

This is actually something I’ve learned more recently, especially with women, is pretty common. Reaching orgasm during sex often requires a lot of focus on feelings (physical, mental/emotional) and being present - ADHD brains can struggle staying present which then leads to less orgasm frequency during sex. I personally have had issues with this and have had partners with similar experiences - the best way I was able to help them was to be very vocal and engaging to keep them with me in the moment (talking in their ear, asking questions, etc) . One of my friends recently noticed that she’s enjoying intimacy far more now that’s she’s being treated for her ADHD.

Yesss!!! So happy for you girl!! I tend to find being honest with your feelings is the healthiest for you and others 🩷 I hope you have many cute and fun dates!

I’m of course not familiar with your communication dynamics with your friends, but your message feels like you are gently saying you’re not interested. Saying you kinda like spending time with someone doesn’t feel like your heart is into a ‘more than friends’ relationship. Also, saying you’re spending time with someone because you don’t want them to be abandoned is very different than honestly sharing that spending time with them makes you feel happy and you very much enjoy their company.

It depends if it’s the uncensored version and what part of the world you’re in. It hovers around TV-MA and 18+ based on the content laws of a country.

Highschool DxD is pretty amazing. Yes, it has copious amounts of nudity (mainly just breasts), but the plot, characters, and power system are actually so good! I generally only really like SoL and Romance anime, but sometimes the blend of power systems and SoL just balance out so well - A Certain Scientific Railgun is like that too!

I believe most apps can be used for free… to an extent. Just like mobile games they can very much be pay to win with many QoL features locked behind a subscription. I know you prefer web, so I’m mostly thinking of apps that also have a web interface. I’m also a woman and a similar age as you; I’ve given up on dating sites and apps to meet people. I do have friends that have had decent success with Bumble, Hinge (no web interface), and Boo. I’ve not looked into the full web-based ones in a long time, but even then I remember them being very limited without a subscription; I can’t imagine that’s changed. Best of luck girl 🩷 Online dating is a complete drain!

Both with friends and with random players. The map pinging system honestly works so well for the pace of the game! The goal to be as efficient and quick as possible generally doesn’t leave much room for arguing or debates which makes things feel so not toxic. Someone usually just takes control of routing, puts a pin down, you or the other player can place a pin in the same location to second the vote, or you can place a pin where you think is best and the other players can second it or not. When I’m playing with friends they leave the routing up to me, but when we’re playing with a matchmade player it’s 50/50 if they’ll be routing or I will. Sometimes it’s chaos, but it’s usually super smooth!

It already supports single player 🩷 Enemy health, poise, and runes are adjusted to balance the lack of teammates. You can also buy a few Wending Graces that will allow you to self-revive since you won’t have teammates to revive you. Some of the final day bosses can actually be easier to manage solo. I sooo recommend the game, and I also recommend giving multiplayer a chance when you’re comfortable with the overall loop and navigating the map. While I do occasionally get a mess of a team, I would say the majority of my matchmade runs have been super smooth and fun!

I’ve had amazing success with the tucking panties from tcomfifits. I just can’t do the tape method, and these always hold everything in place when I’m out! I’ll wear them the entire day and rarely feel any discomfort. My only wish is that they had a few more styles, buuut I received an email from them recently that made it seem like they might be expanding their options!

My friends despised my Elvish Piper deck since it could easily summon creatures like this 🤭 Especially when they were playing mono colored decks and I just pipered out Iona, Shield of Emeria.

It will obviously vary, but I’ve been on HRT for a little over a year and started it late-ish (in my early 30s). I personally can say my face has femminized a fair amount - obviously my bone structure hasn’t changed, but my eyes are slightly wider and softer, cheeks a bit fuller with fat sitting in a different place, skin GLOWS. There’s obviously features that I would love to see change more/at all, but I’m much happier looking at myself in the mirror and in photos 🩷 I’ve also been getting laser hair removal for my facial hair along with other parts of my body. My friends and people I see occasionally for errands often have incredibly kind things to say about the changes they’ve been seeing over the year.

I did try one of those apps a few times and things didn’t necessarily click for me since they kind of added makeup over my face. I personally want to be happy with my face without makeup, so I didn’t feel they were showing a version of myself I wanted to see.

Omg… I’m the exact same…I so envy people who keep hobbies or interests for decades.

I use patches alongside spiro and progesterone. I can’t recommend patches enough! Injections give me crazy dysphoria, so I turned that option down immediately.

Yesss! I order from Etsy shops, enamel pin creators, and other independent artists super often and they always pack everything soooo cute. I have a shelf in one of my cabinets with all their little baggies and boxes that I use to store and organize various things. They are so handy!
