#I am very heated right now

ugghhhhhh I hate seeing shit that's like "omgggg women have to cut off their HEALTHY breast tissue to fit in, we need to change the way we treat women and we need to stop offering breast reduction surgery, and that's how you fix things, not AMPUTATING VITAL ORGANS 😡😡😡" as if breast tissue doesn't cause legit problems that can only be fixed surgically and the benefits usually far outweigh the risks and it's not at all vital

Couldn't find flags for Rose repulsed and so i thought I'd make one.

Rose repulsed: Someone who is both romance and sex repulsed. You can be any aspec identity and use this flag as this flag includes anyone who is sex & romance repulsed no matter the orientation.

Reasoning and alt flag options under the cut.

Reasoning: Blue: blue is often the color used as a way to connect Aro and Ace identities when both are present. So blue felt fitting in this context as often times repulsion will show up with aro and ace identities.

White: The white was added to help the flag pop a but more but also because white is a commonly shared colored amongst all the aspec flags, as such it symbolizes the connection between aspec identities and their connection to rose repulsion.

Rose: The shortened version of Romance and Sex shortens to Rose (Ro = romance. Se = sex). Roses are also a reclaimed symbol by parts of the aspec community as red roses often signify passion and love. Make the rose blue and the meaning changes. Blue roses not only fit the color scheme of blue connecting aro and ace identities but it also has meanings such as Uniqueness, achieving the impossible, and Self Acceptance.

Thorns: Thorns are added to the circle outside the rose to mimic how roses use thorns to protect themselves. Thorns represent the feelings of repulsion, with the thorns repelling away romance and sex in this case.

Alt flags:

No crafting update today, because I did a bunch of cleaning, ran some errands (had to mail some stuff and get a replacement headset for work because mine spontaneously separated into two pieces yesterday) and now I'm making chicken and dumplings for dinner So like, got a lot done, but absolutely none of it craft related and I'm really pushing my limits physical spoons-wise (in that my POTS is flaring up not in that I used all the actual spoons cooking lol) I have a really really cool art trade thing to show y'all but it has to wait until I can take photos, so that'll be later today or maybe tomorrow

It's an odd comfort to experience a Bad Fibromyalgia Time after a long long period of not having this intensity of it.

Like it sucks slsjskdjd of course but

Very validating to experience some of the moderately severe symptoms and realize "wow this fucking sucks, this isn't normal at all, most people do not deal with this and I did a great job at surviving this for years. I deserved way more credit than I myself. Good job, past-me. You were goddamn tenacious."

The validation is nice

got a bunch of little baby plants and am doing some repotting but damn i have a hard time remembering which ones can't have direct light

all but a few of them are low light types because i don't like window or overhead light (i am a cave gremlin)

but some of them need at least indirect light and i'm trying to get those situated well to the french doors (also i bought another seasonal fern bc i am weak and it's hogging a bunch of the space)

some of the tiny ones are barely hanging on and idk what to do else besides sun+ water

i thiiiink it's the tiny peperomia, the mini spider plant, and the aglaonema that really need out of the direct sunbeams and the couple of little succulents that need moved in more

the one snake plant that i haven't watered for six months needed a bigger pot so i upgraded it and i hope it takes it well. the bitty pearl pothos doesn't need a bigger pot but less sun and more drainage i think, so it got a new pot too

why do i get tempted by plants when i hate natural light so much? i did buy a *little* grow light for the corner though

i need plants that are ok with just ambient low light - the sansevieria is out of the window reach entirely but has been putting up fresh green shoots? the big peace lily keeps unfurling new leaves in the dark corner as long as it gets plenty of water?

but the other peace lily that was by the window is crunchy now and idk how to rehab it (still green? and not wilted but the leaves are crunkly so)

also i seeded some rosemary and sage and they are sprouting but the mint did not come up at all ://

[balkanradfem]

is it normal for progesterone levels rising up to cause body temperatures rising? I set it to 68 in here and am still hot!! I drank 64 oz of water, my body still thinks its thirsty so had a mint. I know I am due soon.

I looked it up and apparently progesterone impacts your hypothalamus

I also get bad IBS with my progesterone, I also think my endo tissue is growing more around my bowls.

Is there any way to trick your body to think its cool? for the past few days (I am 31,) you would think I had damn menopause or was pregnant. (def not pregnant. )

Omg is this what menopause will be like :(( ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

every damn month my body can't regulate temperature for almost a week.

I am barely comprehending this due to not knowing the terminology, but if someone else knows what this means please do interact. I'm sorry your body is messing with you.

Well, it's about that time again...and I guess I just sort of kept hoping for things to get less busy at work and they never really did. I managed to find a sort of out, in that now I work under more comfortable conditions than I could expect anywhere else in the store, because there's a water cooler right there. But this position is also a consistently busy spot. Like I was saying before, I feel like this year has been sorta slipping through my fingers, never mind that I published the first part of Lyla & yoU and, like, some of the programmatic work of it can be copied to the next part. The real problem, I think, is that work is 8 hours long, plus a half-hour lunch, plus time for the commute, and an errand such as grocery shopping or paying rent on the way home...it ends up being more like 10 hours out of my day. Though there are slow moments, like at the beginning of the shift, where I can whip out my notes app and brainstorm my writing...they're fairly rare for most of the shift. And work wifi blocks Bluesky and Tumblr and most other things, so it's hard to do much else besides the notes app in that downtime. And then, when I'm home, I might have other chores, or I might drop what I'm doing if my cat asks me for attention. (She's like 10 years old, I gotta pay close attention to her. Plus I do genuinely love her and enjoy when she snuggles up with me.) So I think a lot of time just slips through my fingers naturally, and saying to myself "oh well maybe work will get less busy" over and over, hoping I'll have more energy and that, in turn, I'll be able to do more with my free time...I don't think that's helpful. But then I'm not sure what to do about that, either...work really is a huge sink of time and energy.

Oh well...have a great day, everyone! Love you! 👋💕

As someone having some very painful cramps and doesn’t want to have to get up to look for where my heating pad is, I think the best part of having a werewolf boyfriend would be getting to be like hey can you just lay down right here on top of me for a while and act as my heating pad lmao

Our lives before the genocide were not perfect, to say the least, but we were happy and hopeful. Our dreams were and are still bigger than the walls, barbed wire, and tanks surrounding us but today we find ourselves in a situation where hope keeps being dimmed by constant humiliation and unprecedented injustice. The adults in my family are barely holding on.

They're doing their best but what is our children's fault? What did they do to deserve such unbearable suffering at a very young age? When will this nightmare end? Will I be able to see them all someday safe, sound, happy and thriving like all children should? Such cruel neverending questions keep haunting me night and day. What we seek, above all, is not only to live in safety but also with dignity which is a basic human right we have always been denied.

whenever I see Omar and Salah's pictures in our beautiful home that was leveled to the ground, I can't help but compare them to the state they're in now; struggling to survive in a flimsy, airless makeshift tent surrounded by rubble, all sorts of disease-carrying insects, the stench of sewage floods and garbage, and the smell of death everywhere only made worse by the sweltering summer heat. The newborns' and the children's innocent faces amidst such misery won't leave my thoughts. They fill me with grief and rage because of how helpless I am. Seeing the kids smile and hold their heads up high, despite all the suffering and fear their little hearts have to go through every single day, is pure torture. Their childhood games have been replaced by waiting in long lines for food and water and carrying containers, sometimes heavier than their fargile malnourished bodies. Most of their playgrounds, kindergartens and schools have been reduced to dust and rubble, and the ones left are still being bombed allowing them no respite or refuge from

the horrors of the war.

For almost ten months now, our little angels have been enduring hardships beyond their years; ripped from the safety and warmth of their home and everything they knew and loved and forced into a life of pain and peril where only the unknown awaits them. Your support is our only ray of hope amidst such a dire and bleak situation. My family and especially our children need you now more than ever as the airstrikes, starvation, and water and health crises are only intensifying and we are being further humiliated and annihilated. I never wanted it to come to this. I used to think I could handle everything myself but I truly have no choice but to ask for help now. Please help me protect my family and bring them closer to the life of safety and dignity they deserve as all humans do, wherever they are.
