Congrats!

I know I keep posting but it can make up for my lackluster prescence last week. I just got a new epilator in, and this time I payed a bit more for a wet/dry one. This one also swivels and sounds much less threatening. I tested it on a leg I had epi’d before, and it doesn’t hurt nearly as much, meaning I now just have to get over the initial hurdle of initially removing the hair without impulsively returning the epilator (which I did last time).

It’s the Braun Silk Epil 9, almost forgot to mention. Cost me a bit but I feel like it will be better than constantly going through disposable razor blades and/or seeking lazer (not covered by my insurance 😔)

I know, right? I had no idea it existed, I had to look into it. Apparently it marks the month when the Americans with Disabilities Act passed.

I’m grateful for this site’s existence, it was the largest factor that helped me crack my egg. Who knows how much longer I would have gone on “totally being cis” without it?

Yikes. If I had that kind of experience I would do the same thing, and I’m sorry you went through that.

You too! (I wish it was the whole summer 😔)

I do SubQ, both the doctor and what I have seen on the internet seem to agree that the way SubQ affects the body is very similar to IM. It’s what the doctor recommended, so it’s what I’m doing, though I don’t know if it’s more difficult or not when injecting at a higher volume.

Last injection post because I can’t do this every week but 4TH INJECTION LETS GOOOOO

down with cis

I mean, I knew it was a possibility, but I kind of did everything I could to prevent it. That’s why I clarified my intentions going in while also asking people to be civil. It was good to see why people do or do not do something, and the beliefs that guide their reasoning, for myself if I ever have to abandon the consumption aspect of veganism and for others who I may have to educate in the future. I learned a lot today, and I think it’s good to see other people’s point of view when I live a pretty isolated lifestyle.

It’s hard when other people are buying the food, and a partner is one of the prospects I fear when it comes to Veganism.

Meds are meds, if you need to take them there’s not much you can do to avoid those kind of things. There’s a reason people say to so when possible and practical.

True, I actually started getting vegan ice cream before I went Vegan. I just thought it tasted better, and it didn’t upset my stomach as much.

I love anxiety so much. /s

REAL. I bought morningstar (Kellogs) stuff once only to see it wasn’t vegan despite being shelved with other vegan food. That part about the pandemic is also interesting, how would people react is animal product once again became more expensive and inaccessible? Something to study if it ever happens again I guess.

I used to (and still kind of do) have issues when it comes to food waste. I actually made a post about it in the vegan comm, and there was a bit of debate around the subject https://hexbear.net/post/2387294?scrollToComments=false. Beliefs tended to lean towards moving away from seeing animals as consumable, though some did say that they will eat animal product if it meant it would be thrown away. Either way, I would personally still see them as vegan, being “pure” doesn’t matter as much as believing in the ethics of the meaning behind the movement itself.

Seriously, why hasn’t any company released tubs of vegan ice cream, they would make so much money . Cut frozen fruit is delicious though (and more healthy so I’m glad I was pushed in that direction), blend it with some soy (or other plant) milk and it makes a nice, sweet, and cold treat.
