Coming to terms with your identity and finding labels that feel comfortable can be a very long and confusing process for many of us, here’s my story as an example so you know you’re NOT alone:
Age 6: I’m a boy, but my family and school thinks I’m a girl so I guess they must be right.
Age 8: I have a huge crush on this girl in my class but that doesn’t make sense because girls don’t like girls, I must just want to be like her.
Age 12: I really like this boy, he makes me feel butterflies, good thing I’m straight after all.
Age 14: I really don’t like my body, it doesn’t feel right, but I don’t know why. When I’m around my best friend all I want to do is hold her and when she gets close I imagine what it might be like to kiss her.
Age 16: I find that taping my chest down when I’m alone in my room fills me with euphoria, but I know my boyfriend wouldn’t like it.
Age 18: I am definitely a butch lesbian, I have an awesome girlfriend who I love dearly and I’m proud to be a part of this community.
Age 20: Nope, I’m definitely a straight dude, time to transition.
Age 24: Years of testosterone and top surgery have made my life so much happier and easier. I am in love with my girlfriend and dream of spending my life with her but I realize that I find a lot of men sexually attractive... am I not a straight man?
Age 26: I am engaged to my fiancée, the love of my life, who is accepting of my bisexual identity — turns out she’s bi too!
No matter where you start, love yourself unconditionally and you will find your way.
Large caliber weapons should get a damage buff, shooting people into the torso with a SV98 feels like shooting through styrofoam.
The guy I shot ran off with 3 HP left as if nothing happened.
Calibers like this can shoot through trees and cinder blocks. Why not give them a real damage boost so a single shot would do like 200 or 250 damage? It would put some space between the different weapon calibers.
I am somewhat versed in the sensical aspects of keto dieting (WOE is a better term if you ask me), but I never got proficient in meal planning and bargain hunting to allow keto to fit in with my life.
I have a feeling it can be so fun to experiment with recipes, find new indulgences, and develop a consistent integrity of eating one emergy-sustainable way. Like I remember freezing raspberries, mashing them in cold cream, and adding cocoa and a splash of vanilla making a sort of textured melty frozen yogurt. I had a little bowl of that and, yes did my past binge eating of ice cream echo ever in my mind saying "you know what would be nice? Making a bowl 5x the size of that taste and inhaling it"
....But I didn't. I could stop and put the mental brakes on in distinguishing seeking sensory input and actual hunger.
Anyway, I want to make it stick. At the same time thinking I should be doing keto and just not even trying is just contributing to the depression I have that keeps seeping into various cognitive processes. This is especially bad when I'm eating poorly. And I don't respect my nutritional needs when I'm gulping down carbs and looking for the easy way out. The thing is my job is mentally, emotionally, physically and cognitively draining and straining. So when I get home it's so much easier (and cheaper, I'm poor) for me to make some macncheese than fry up broccoli in ghee and cook a steak in the cast iron.
Thanks for reading even a bit of this, but I need support from people who've been there and I'm finally feeling brave enough to ask
*Edit: meaty to melty
Hi all, looking for some ideas on how to harvest an 8-frame super that got benignly neglected and the bees just zigzagged their comb throughout. Thus, I can't take it frame by frame, so I'm going to have to do crush and strain once I can get them all out of the super.
I got a meat lug (food safe plastic) that I should be able to flip the super inside- I was thinking of putting a honey gate at one end so I could just drain into a strainer then onto 5 gallon bucket.
Anybody deal with this before care to share, am I making this too difficult?
Also, if you're feeling generous let me know what kind of printer labels you use on mason jars :)
I remember it being larger than the palm of my hand. Probably red. It was made of soft spongy material but was firm to squeeze. And weighted on the inside so when you rolled it, it went in jerky directions.
