Someone, somewhere, is definitely making fungal honey. But I think it might be an STD.

It's a myth. For a start most people's hayfever isn't anything to do with flower pollen, it's grass and tree pollen and fungal spores. Pollen and spores can be carried by air currents and travel long distances. The flowers your local honey comes from are unlikely to be causing your hayfever. You should buy local honey over commercial honey though because it supports small producers.

Twin Peaks, the original run. I watched each episode twice a week when it first aired, then several times once I had it on VHS (including a 24hr marathon with my friends), and then I've watched it about 3 or 4 times on DVD. However this has involved fast forwarding through some of the storylines I don't like in the 2nd season (mostly James & Evelyn,,little Nicky, and a lot of the Nadine and Mike stuff). I've only watched the 3rd season once so far, it's long, and quite intense, and I haven't had the head space and time I would like to dedicate to it when I go back into it again.

Had a crappy night's sleep because I'm full of anxiety and low self esteem. I'm 99% sure my ex is out dating / hooking up again, which is nothing to do with me I know, he's not doing anything wrong, but it's brought up a whole mess of emotions around rejection and not feeling wanted that were going on in our relationship for a quite a while before it ended.

Mold, uh, finds a way.

Please can you tell me where you source your optimism from because I can't seem to get any.

[–] charlytune@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Ohhh I love this! Saved, thank you. Not that I'll ever get around to doing this, but when I show my friends they'll think I'm cool AF. Maybe I will get around to it though.

The idiots are winning.

Just think, there's a kid out there that'll tell people about the story of how they were born, and how glad their parents were that random strangers came to their aid and helped bring them into the world.

Wtf. That's genuinely terrifying. I'm glad someone heard you!

I think it's totally understandable to be freaked out by that, it must have been totally surreal. Its not so much that you reacted badly to childbirth, you reacted that way because it was completely unexpected, and you were on your guard a bit because it was night time and strangers, and because something quite huge and momentous (for them I mean) and potentially incredibly tragic if something had gone wrong, was happening right on your doorstep, out of the blue. I think you can give yourself a break over that one. And a pat on the back.

Gen X woman here, I started using dark mode a couple of years ago when I was really suffering from Long Covid, and using any kind of screen was a trigger for fatigue so bad I'd need to go lie down and sleep before I collapsed. I read up on managing screen work with fatigue conditions, and dark mode was suggested. As soon as I tried it it was like loads of noise went quiet in my brain, and it just felt calmer. I also suspect I may be autistic and / or ADHD and this may also be a factor. I have to have everything on dark mode now, light mode just feels so shouty and loud.
