Re: Happy pride month!

Remember the rules nonnies, I hate TERFs as much as anyone else but we don't go wishing death on people here.

Happy Pride!

[(Anonymous)]

No matter how many or how few labels you use, happy pride! No matter if you know what labels you want to use or not, happy pride! Hyper vigilance of definitions and semantics of what's 'real' or not only divides and hurts us, as long as you fight for lgbt+ rights, happy pride! Allies, asexuals, MOGAI, or other ~weird~ identities that would be gatekept, happy pride!

Have fun, be yourself proudly because others would have us be ashamed. Our happiness in our pride is a battle. The more people with us, the sooner the battle is over and we're just plain happy.

Happy Fucking Pride!

DISCLAIMER: Fuck people who claim illegal and inherently immoral things as pride/lgbt, you know what I'm talking about, you know it's redditor drivel. Don't start it. It's against the rules anyways, iirc.

Anyone here smoke a weed? /j

But forreal, what's going on fellow nonnies? Anything fun been going on, any cool achievements you've made lately? I'm vibing and fishing for nice stories to read.

Hi anon! My dad is terminally ill with cancer (radiation in his neck shrank down the tumor but it still remained, surgery to remove the initial cancer tumor didn't work and chemo no longer effective...this is it for him) but today we got some pretty neat news! My dad is in immense pain but most of his pain comes from a tumor that developed in his spine. Today we found out that to massively improve his QOL for the rest of his days that they can do radiation on that spot to shrink it down hopefully so he wont be in nearly as much pain anymore. It's a scrap of happiness but I don't care, I am clinging onto it lol

I got some cheap G1s and tried the coli challenge somebody on here set out a while ago, and so far they're at level 23, I got some valuable drops on my way through all the venues, and I decided to stat them as Sedona builds and give them away to newbies in my flight who don't have their own teams yet. It's been fun and I'm hopeful that it will help other people too!

Re: Anyone here smoke a weed? /j

I don't smoke weed, but y'all have made me pop an edible tonight lol.

I posted awhile back about how I'm planning to re-gene my level 25s and I've already made some progress, thanks to Baldwin genes! For most scrolls, I've decided to wait until they come up as discounted, because that adds an element of chance/excitement for me—I never know if I'm gonna get a new gene until I check the MP!

Re: Anyone here smoke a weed? /j

I don't smoke weed but I did land a new internship that'll keep me busy until I (hopefully) get into my study of choice :>

I also found and gened a dream dragon for my gf, so that was also nice

Re: Anyone here smoke a weed? /j

Here's a fun one. Was low on fodder over the weekend, decided to spend some time grinding Blooming Grove on Sunday for the scene because I have a dragon who would look really good against it. Finally got one!
Today, Crim asks me for edamame. I pop back into BG and refresh until I run into a few Sunbeam Dryads (I like to replace the things I sell her so I don't end up depleting myself and then regretting it if there's ever a use introduced for them). From that single battle, I get two edamame...and another BG scene.

So I got into a feminist organisation at my uni and oh my God the two girls on my team do no work.

I have screenshots of them repeatedly promising to do work "by tonight" and Gdocs history showing I'm the only one working on the proposal. Screens of them constantly saying "I'm busy I can't" "I can't go for the meeting" or even just me pinging them going "hey are you coming to the meeting tonight?" and getting no response.

I'm sick of having to chase them like we're fucking children just to get them to do some work and I don't even know how to get out of this situation. If it were a school project id just report them to the tutor and let them fail. But the presidents of the org are people I look up to and they're only 3-4 years older than me so it feels super childish to "complain" to them (it's a small enough org that they're basically my direct supervisors)

I have no idea what to do. I'd expect other young adults to behave better. If you can't even make it to a single meeting why the hell would you sign up for a high commitment social work organisation.

Re: OT Thread

i would say talk to the presidents and see if they have any insight. it doesn't have to be an outright complaint - frame it as what you have and what you need.

explanation of issue & attempts to resolve, request support, suggestion for support: "i am unable to stay on top of this project with the current workload. i have attempted to contact my partners multiple times, but they are neither contributing to the proposal nor are they able to set aside time to work on it. what options do we have for additional support? would anyone else be able to fill in at this time?"

Re: OT Thread

[(Anonymous)]

It's not childish to "complain"—you're asking for help instead of just letting a project flounder, which is the responsible thing to do. The other anon gave great suggestions for that so I won't go into it any more. But re: your last question, I think there's a few reasons:
1. Young adults are pushed so hard to do things that will look good on a resume and it's easy to get stuck in a trap of overcommitting, especially if you're a high achiever or came from a pushy background;
2. College is a lot harder than some people expect and maybe they didn't realize the level of commitment needed for the org;
3. I struggled a lot with my mental health in college, and burnout is also pretty common among students.

I'm not saying it's not irresponsible of them to be behaving this way, but keep in mind that college is often the first time people have to handle their own affairs and if they weren't properly prepared for it and/or have mental health issues or other disabilities, it can be especially challenging. Hopefully the other women in your group do end up learning from the experience, at least. It can be hard to get out of that "must do everything" mindset, especially when you feel like others are relying on you to step up.
Anyhow, I'm sorry you feel so alone and I hope you are able to get the support you need. You should not suffer because of your group members' failure to fulfill commitments.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Hey thanks for the responses. The other person sent "We are very behind on the timeline" last night and when I woke up she had sent another "Are you guys going to do anything?" message so I am definitely bringing this to the presidents. As of 6pm right now she still has made no changes whatsoever to the doc so I'm not sure it's me who has to "do anything".

Let me know if y'all want updates, I am very depressed and it would be nice to have external people to talk to about this shit. Worst case I lose my position since she seems to have some connections.

i'm playing botw for the first time and i sort of don't like it. but all my friends are big loz fans, and really loved botw so i am afraid to share this opinion anywhere else

Re: OT Thread

[(Anonymous)]

understandable nonny, I didn't get the hype either when I tried to play it

Re: OT Thread

[(Anonymous)]

not liking something that your friends (and the mainstream?) like feels super bad, i've been there too nonny

Re: OT Thread

[(Anonymous)]

As someone who really enjoys BotW, got the DLC and have played other LoZ games, I think it's perfectly fine if you do not like the game very much. I can see how the game can seem rather overwhelming, and it's pretty much guaranteed you'll spend a lot of time playing. It contrasts a lot from the norm of the series in so many ways because of it being an open-world game.

Why is Christian Weston Chandler trending on twitter? What happened?

The whiplash it gave me looking up who that is

Apparently it is a serious can of worms in the drama depo regarding them. I don't think any of it can be talked about on here at all. It's probably for the best.

NOPE. Sorry.
