I like to wear them in places with fluorescent lighting, but some people really get uncomfortable with that. Sometimes I imagine they must be feeling the same thing I feel when I need to make eye contact during a long conversation

Fair! I've only taken organic chemistry so far, so that's what I remembered

Some molecules have a rotation that is centered on a chiral carbon atom and is named by the way the other atoms of the molecule rotate. There are some rules to it, but L is levorotatory and means it rotates to the left or counter-clockwise. D is dextrorotatory and spins to the right, or clockwise.

Edit: spelling errors lol

That is something my mother said to me a lot. Along with, "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out of it". It's fucked up, because it's not like anyone chooses to be born. These are not normal things for a parent to say by any means. It's emotional abuse.

You deserve better than that! It's not easy cutting ties with family, but life is a lot easier when you're not dealing with such a toxic, resentful human in your life.

Ask her what she needs you to do or say during those moments. Anxiety is different for everyone, and what might calm one person might be more anxiety-inducing for her. Just make sure to ask when she isn't in an attack!

Something that helps me when I'm nervous about calling someone I'm dating is to make some of the calls a "date". Watch a show or play a game together, that way conversation is focused on what you're doing together. This way you don't have to stress about making interesting conversation (because the activity is making things interesting for you).

They're not extremely similar to MSI, but you might like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (the band)

These allegations have been around for years, which might be why you're not surprised

I knew someone who was voluntarily homeless. He sometimes stayed in hostels so he could shower and brush his teeth. How do you manage personal hygiene?

There's an instance called literature.cafe that has a lot of writing related communities. I see writing prompts somewhat often while browsing all. It's not the largest of instances, but it might be a good place to start

Where are the consequences for Musk funding Republican candidates?

She had a nightmare while on the call with you? So she also fell asleep?

I dunno, to me it seems like a good sign that you're both so comfy with each other that you fall asleep on a call. I tend to have nightmares too, so I try to stay awake as long as possible (not on purpose, it's just how it is). So when I find someone that makes me feel safe enough to sleep, that's a big deal.

I have a Braun Silk-Epile that I really like because there's so many interchangeable tops. You can use it to trim hair down before you epilate, and it also has nice little massage heads to help exfoliate and prevent ingrown hairs. They also have a decent replacement policy, I lost my charger during a move and they sent me a new one very fast.

I also really like how easy it is to clean. I tried another brand before that had a complicated mechanism for opening the housing to remove the hair. Not fun spending as much time cleaning as you do removing hair lol

(also, for transparency: I'm an afab nb that was on T and have gone back in the closet because US politics. So I've used this mostly on my face and neck)
