    People will shit on crystals believers in one breath and tell people to ‘respect other’s religion’ in another or gloat about their MBTI assessment. The cognitive dissonance is unreal.

    I don’t believe in either but at least I’m consistent. If you’re not, then you’re just finding an excuse to hate on a hobby that primarily attracts women.

    This is the same thing that happens to anything that women likes: pumpkin spice lattes, uggs, horoscopes, tarot cards, rose, etc. It’s seen as trivial and stupid no matter how banal the average person’s interest are regardless of gender.









  • That’s a lot of words for ‘I’m privileged with good health and can’t empathize with people going through mental and physical illnesses’.

    I don’t have AFRID, but I know people who do. Your delusional if you think it’s a choice and they can just decide to eat other things without wanting to throw up

    This is this the same as telling people with depression to ‘just be happy’ or telling people with anxiety to ‘just calm down’. There is no ‘just eat the food’ with AFRID. The whole point is that they can’t.



  • This is part of the problem of our current political climate. I don’t know how you can constitute ‘not bullying’ as ‘accepting them’, but the complete lack of nuance in every conversation is what drives radicalization.

    You can’t ‘bully’ transphobes into being an ally. That’s not how people work.

    I get it. Transphobes are pieces of shit with the most punchable faces. But when you find yourself staring down into one, you need to ask yourself if you are going say what feels good and right to you, or what will make them just a little less transphobic to the next trans person they meet.

    Deradicalization doesn’t happen overnight. It may take transphobes a hundred, ten, or even just one trans person to show them undeserved kindness before they realize they were wrong.

    I’m not saying it’s anyone’s job to do this. I’m saying that sometimes, maybe a trans person or an ally may be having a good day and find it in themselves to deal with transphobic bullshit just to show transphobes that they are the better person. If they do, I’m saying that we shouldn’t ruin all the progress and emotional labor they’ve invested in by bullying the transphobe.




  • Zyrtec and Flo-nase works well for me, but everyone’s biochemistry is different. I recommend getting an allergy panel if you have access to affordable healthcare. Otherwise, try every OTC allergy med one at a time.

    Here is a wild theory: I have cats and I’m not directly allergic to them, but I found that brushing them helps improve dust mite allergies because they shed less and leave fewer surfaces for dust mites to cling to.

    Before you take everyone’s word about the nasal cycle, check if you have dust mite allergies. Turns out I did and my nose was far stuffier and itchier than what should be normal.

    I switched out my pillowcase to an allergy pillowcase and started taking some allergy meds. It cleared up my nose a lot and now I can actually feel one nostril only being slightly more closed due to the nasal cycle instead of having it almost all blocked.
