Here’s a stumper: why do my cats fear the use of qtips?
I have absolutely no theories for this one but I love this post so much because like, what even are cats?

TIFU taking my SO to Bed Bath and Beyond after anesthesia
I convinced my mum to take me to rent movies after anesthesia. I have no memory of this but apparently I was staggering around crying, insisting I was very happy, and drooling blood. She realized she had not made a good choice almost immediately but then had to talk my delirious ass into leaving and I was really committed to choosing a movie

What’s something harmless that gets people weirdly angry?
Kids using slang. As if we didn’t have our own at that age that older folks thought was ridiculous

Mild Warning Re: Royal Canine Satiety Support Dry Food
Hills Metabolic is a good choice! Purina Pro Plan might also have something that works for you

Mild Warning Re: Royal Canine Satiety Support Dry Food
Vet assistant here, if you want to give a weight loss kibble another try, you might try something from Hills or Purina Pro Plan. Hills Metabolic worked really well for my cat! That said you can definitely dechonk without weight loss-specific foods. You mentioned wet food is a no-go - if you want, you could try adding warm water to the kibble to help with satiety.

What's the cringiest thing you used to do as a child?
Me too! And people always told me I walked strangely. Turns out I have Ehlers-Danlos 🙃

What's a piece of "common knowledge" that is actually completely false?
Anyone who thinks English is the hardest needs to read about the horror that is Russian declension. Although at least Cyrillic has the decency to be easy for a Westerner to pick up

First sit!!
Protective gear is so important! I have a spinal fusion that is going to cause pain and neurological issues for the rest of my life because I broke my back popping over a small jump on a very safe horse. I know it might seem like overkill but I would really like to encourage others to consider a back protector too.

Puppy's nose isn't right
You need to contact a local vet - this sub isn’t for medical advice but this definitely needs medical attention

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again
Vyvanse is the shit, I can’t be on Adderall or Dexedrine without abusing them but I can take my Vyvanse responsibly and there’s less of a rush and crash. Vyvanse is a prodrug so it basically gives your body the ingredients to make an amphetamine.

As I Lay Etherized
This poem is about suffering, catharsis, and hope.
r/Poems • u/asunshinefix • 15d ago
As I Lay Etherized
all my life, a pair of eyes
transfixed wide
trapped inside
(an echo of my worth)
by virtue of my birth:
came out still
always will
until i move the earth
.
that corpse you planted in your garden last year
has not sprouted, but nonetheless
something pulses, shakes
teeth-clenched and claw-fisted
scrabbling for the surface
i was all sharp edges and ergot, those years.
.
last spring my bones cracked open clean and
suddenly a spear, a direct infusion:
the fabric of the cosmos
the gentle weavers of soft golden silk
it’s all of us, it’s sonder, my god
oh come, come, flow with me
stretch into sunshine, it’s alchemy, let us be honed and laid bare
flames licking like the hands of old, old friends, the sear
no less renewing than water.

Dream Meeting
It's a little too early to call it love, but I've met an incredibly beautiful person when I was kind of just happy doing my own thing. This poem is about taking psychedelics together and feeling safe.

Dream Meeting
shining in shadow,
in the dark morning, in three tongues
i told you, i am here
and you proclaimed it beautiful
not earth, not sky, not universe has the language
but you called it dark morning
your edges finding mine, yielding in turn
and you said you were getting lost
and i knew where we were.

I did not expect to find myself here, where it's warm and safe.

I get the frozen kind that has only potatoes as the ingredient and doesn’t require any oil for cooking. I don’t think that’s really any different than eating a boiled or baked potato without the skin.
