Oh! And also “do they sew you up inside there or is it just an open hole into your abdominal cavity” has also been asked unironically SEVERAL times. I genuinely am using so much energy to contain most of my sass
YALL I try so hard not to judge and let people ask genuine questions, no matter how silly or uneducated, but I can’t tell you how many times people have asked me how I pee now or if I “don’t have a hole anymore” since posting about my hysterectomy.
And I am genuinely so flabbergasted.
If anybody’s triggered by this, you’re required to submit your complaints along with a description of your preferred order of operations or method for eating a meal at a holiday function (like Thanksgiving for example).
I hate when people are like “stop trying to make having autism into a quirky thing, it’s a serious disability.” … like … have you MET any autistic people? If you need autistic people to be “unquirky” in order to take them seriously, I have bad news for you about autism 😂
I bought my fiancé a pair of the yellow plaid slim cut Tripp pants with the zippers and straps on em. Highly recommend.
Don’t recommend ordering them immediately before getting a hysterectomy. 6 weeks of “pelvic rest.” I fucked up yall.
Great idea! POOR planning.
I just met with the most patronizing useless apathetic doctor I’ve ever seen. It was a urogynecology appointment. I asked for a female doctor. There aren’t any in-network female urogynecologists, so I said fine. I paid $40 for gaslighting & objectively inaccurate information.
Why did no one tell me that Midol has caffeine in it?
Hello, I have remembered that this app exists again, so I will be using it constantly for 3 days, and then forgetting about it again for 6 months
WELCOME PEOPLE IN, not shame people out. We need more allies, and I’m noticing that a lot of yall are yelling at people who are already on your side.
Thank you for reading🖤
I need you to remember that not everyone shops the same way you do. What matters is that people are trying. You don’t need to immediately be aggressive in advocacy, especially in boycott discourse.
4) just because someone has a lot of followers doesn’t mean they’re rich or a monolith. Just because someone has a nice job doesn’t mean they’re rich either. You never know what kind of medical expenses, responsibilities, or struggles people have unless they tell you. De-influence yourself.
3) please remember that other people have entire lives that demand attention, and not every purchase is well researched. Some ppl work 60+ hours a week. They probably don’t know that the parent company owns another company that invested money in a different company that isn’t cruelty free.
3) please remember that a big part of sustainability is using products until you cant anymore. Whether that’s the makeup palette I got as a birthday present in 9th grade or any piece of clothing I own. I’m not throwing it in a landfill because it was made by a crappy company.
1) bold of you to assume I paid for it.
2) please think about how poor people obtain items even if they’re law abiding citizens. Thrifting, handmedowns, for sale by owner, clearance sections, garage sales, etc. buying products directly from companies full price isn’t the only way.
I’ve noticed that the only people who jump down my throat in comments sections for not being an all-knowing 100% ethical consumer under capitalism are white women from financially comfortable homes.
& girl I hear you, but I need you to get a little more radical ⬇️
Hey pro tip.
Dont be a jerk to people for not knowing things.
By all means be a jerk to people for making bad decisions in informed choices, but don’t be a dick to people because they don’t know stuff.
Why crop the other small business’s name out on your story?
Why announce that you “politely declined” the collab?
Why keep the name of a supposedly problematic celebrity ✨as the name of one of your most popular products✨?
Why throw shade publicly at the other brand?
Just…what?! Wtf is going on?
The connotation seemed to be that they didnt want to be associated with the rockstar because of some problematic thing (idk I didnt see anything obvious when I googled)
BUT HERE’S THE WEIRD PART
They have an eyeliner shade named after him. That rockstar. It’s still up on their website. So like…
the aforementioned shady makeup brand made a very weird IG story post, where they took a screenshot of the ad with the rockstar, cropped out the other brand’s name, & captioned it:
“We were offered this collab with [Rockstar] 6 months ago, but we politely declined. Congrats to the brand!”
Weird.
They have been known to use low quality ingredients that stain & aren’t the safest. They’re also known to start drama & shit talk people who get on their bad side.”
WELL
Flash forward to today. A different small business announced a collab with a certain rockstar. I only know this because-
I have tea ☕️
Unserious & inconsequential tea. Here goes:
So there’s this small makeup company I followed a while back, & they asked me to do an ad for them. I did, but afterwards a few concerned ppl in the beauty industry reached out to me & said “hey pls be careful with them & their products-
Nope! Talk about jumpscare! Me & my little legwarmers are gonna pass on all that. No thanks, that’s how they getcha!
Me:
*doing ballet warmups/stretches for posture & flexibility*
“wow my lower abs are weakened because of my posture. I’ll search strengthening exercises!”
The internet:
🔥😡⛓️BURN BELLY FAT SHREDDED ABS BIKINI READY BODY BOOTY BUILDING FLAT TUMMY 🤍FIT-FLUENCER🤍WORKOUT GET JACKED⛓️🤬🔥
I’m a blue collar worker with ADHD, which means I go to work every morning with a pocket full of clean screws!
Oh no, I appreciate the concern, but I’m totally fine & I’m looking for tailoring advice, not medical advice.
Should I tailor them? I have the skills & materials, but what if I gain weight in my off season? Do I leave them & try to style them a little baggy? Idk, it was more than I usually fluctuate, so maybe this is just my new normal range? I just love my clothes & want to wear them!!!
So recently with my busy season at work I happened to loose quite a bit of weight, which is fine with me, but now that I’m doing things other than welding, I’m realizing NONE OF MY CLOTHES FIT including some of my favorite pieces & brand new garments, and I’m SO mad!
So I thought somebody might've just hit the building with their car or something, but NOPE!
EARTHQUAKE !!! In North Atlanta! What the actual fuck?!
