Hi! I’m disabled, live upstairs, and can’t drive and have 3-5 trash bags full of clean clothes to donate to anywhere that can use them. Mostly women’s size small-medium and some men’s size small-medium. I’m sure a few pieces could be consigned or resold. Would anyone be willing to come pick them for free? I can leave them in the outside stairwell so nobody would have to come inside or even make contact at all if preferred! (: I’m almost literally drowning in unused clothing and would prefer they go directly where they could’ve used as opposed to goodwill (and where the person who got them to begin with purchased them) but frankly if they’re out of my hair I don’t mind either way.

I don’t usually cry from shots but these were painful ones and I still didn’t. 🥲 My arm hurts. Please congratulate me

Hello! I’m an addict and use alcohol and other substances to manage my undiagnosed ADHD and mental health issues. I want to get properly diagnosed, but I’m afraid of requesting that through my new primary care physician because I’m terrified of the “seeking meds” stereotype. I’m not seeking medication for my issues, but I do need accommodations for them through my school for certain reasons.

I just want my issues to be believed and taken seriously, and im afraid that being an addict who is using regularly currently (less than before though!!❤️) will get in the way of that with healthcare professionals. Does anyone have any experience with this particular difficulty or advice to offer?

Hello! Per the title I wanna make my own shredded hashbrowns to freeze; the loose shreds than you just plop in a pan and fry up. I was wondering if there should be any steps between draining and freezing them? I was planning to shred and then squeeze out the water and freezing in a single layer on a sheet pan before bagging. Basically should I par cook them before freezing? Any other advice to make this process successful?

I’m really curious about what life with a disability is like in other countries. Accessibility, resources, public attitudes towards disabled people, policy, etc. Obviously all of this can vary wildly depending on the person and their condition, and I’m keeping at in mind.

Like I’m 30 and use a cane and wonder how that and other visible or invisible disabilities are treated. How would a 30 year old cane user in Japan or Brazil or Morocco be treated by their peers, in public, and by their health professionals? How do people who cant work keep roofs over the heads and their bellies fed?

Any insights are appreciated! This is a very open ended question.

Hi Hyeju!

I hope your life has been as kind and fulfilling as you have been to your fans. (: I think I speak for all of us when I say “we miss you,” but the rest is just me and my thoughts for you.

I love your work, and I think you’re truly a shining star. But the sky you shined in was perilous, and I would be afraid to return to it too. What you and the other stars in this constellation (LOONA) went through was unforgivable, and all of you were both brave and strong in the face of that adversity.

We’re all looking through our telescopes in case you CHOOSE to shine your light again. But not a second sooner! Only shine again if it’s what you want and wish, for yourself. Until then, you’re still my favorite star in LOONA. ✨

Love you, Hyeju!

💌🌺❤️- Me

This was a letter I wrote while drunk to Hyeju bc Ive been worried about and miss her. 😭 You can call it parasocial but I know I don’t know this girl and this will never reach her lol, I just hope she’s well. She went through hell and I empathize to a certain extent, and sympathize heavily.

The seal emoji is my little dude, and any time I feel like I need something to signal “I’m typing this in the way that I would speak it aloud” I throw him in my texts or comments. I started doing it recently and not only did my friends not question it, they thought it was cute and that it kinda makes sense lol. He’s a just a reclining little guy emphasizing my points. 🦭

Text based communication is so fraught with misunderstandings and I just need a little dude to ground me and what I’m saying I guess. I suppose he could cause he even more misunderstandings, but so far as Ive described it my comfort emoji has been quite useful!

Do you have an emoji you use like this, or even just one that you associate with yourself?

I started stealing alcohol from my dad and step mom and never really knew why until I realized my trauma a couple years ago, when I got a yeast infection. I hadn’t had one since I was a kid, and realized some of my earliest memories were my grandma treating my yeast infections and UTIs as a kid. After coming home from my mom’s house. Her boyfriends were never vetted to be around kids, so. Here we are.

Dont take my tone or writing style for not knowing the gravity lol, Ive been grieving those men’s actions my entire memorable life. But I just think it’s interesting that the only reason this issue is being seen to by professionals is that it caused such awful symptoms I thought I’d accidentally kill myself drinking.

Even now I see little me, the one who got hurt, not being prioritized. “You just want to fix another symptom but not actually help ME!” and they are so fucking right. Little me needs to be addressed.

Parts work is so hard but it’s been incredible for me. 😭
