All 13 Weapon Fairies

[prinnay]

This series is my pride and joy. Would anyone be interested in a little book of these fairies plus the sketches of the fairies that never came to be? There’s a handful.

I’ve already made calendars of them and have prints so IDK if that’s too much weapon fairy stuff haha

Things they don’t tell you about top surgery

- Talk to the surgeon about the size you want your new areolas/nipples (don’t be afraid to ask)

- Numbness. No one talks about this for guys who are about to have surgery. You’re going to be numb all in your chest area, especially where the incisions were. They cut nerves as they pass along your chest, and it can take up to a year to regenerate those nerves. Still, feels super foreign for the first two weeks

- Make your bed into a pillow chair, body pillow, two on each side, and two for your head. 

- Sleep alone. I tried to sleep with my girlfriend and it was miserable. You really do need the entire bed for yourself

- Go on Groupon, & get yourself a 10 foot lightning cable iPhone charger, BEST THING EVER, can reach from wherever you are

- Don’t take a week off from work, take two. You will regret the one week, and love the extra time

- When they say “don’t move too much, even after the first week”. LISTEN. I moved way too much and got so sore super quickly. 

- Drink lots of water & eat if your taking the pain medication, otherwise your stomach feels super funky.

- Get stool softeners, & don’t be afraid to take those babies. Don’t wait a week to poop. you’ll surely regret it. 

- The drains are scary & they may hurt while draining or rewrapping your dressings, but once they come out, the second they do, its no more pain, its crazy. 

i hope this helps someone, because i wish i knew all of this when i was having mine a month ago. Looking back its like everyone forgets all the real negatives, its a great experience, & i healed very well & quick compared to most, but the first few days are crazy. They hurt, suck but it gets better.

To the few guys I know having surgery this week!

[sabertoothwalrus]

-the headache you get a couple days after the surgery because the anesthesia is leaving your body hurts 200 times more than the surgery itself. And even that isn’t too bad.

-after a week or, you ITCH. It’s awful. Try not to touch your stitches too much. An ice pack will help.

Tips!!!

[neurodivergent-crow]

All of this. Also you can’t shower for at least 2 weeks so prepare yourself for that. Buy some baby wipes.

Also if you work a physical job the full recovery time is 6 weeks.

Pm me with any questions you have, as always.

[chesapeakestripper]

No shower time will depend on how your surgeon patched you up, i took my first shower 5 days after surgery with my surgeon’s permission. Don’t be afraid to ask about that as well.

[mielivalta]

two weeks is probs the minimum. i got "only" breast reduction and had to be 5 weeks off work: two first with no lifting arms above my head, 3 first with no carrying more than carton of milk (1/4gallon for you us citizens), and all five with no more excersise than walking.

also, i got permission to shower when i felt for it: my first was 4 days after surgery, and i just stood under the shower, because lifting my arms would hurt.

speak with your doctor, and don't be afraid to ask "stupid" questions.

[omnidudes-deactivated20240202]

No they're right actually and they should say it.

The lefts descent into obsession with identity politics means all these boys get from these spaces is essentially being told they're inherently monstrous or will grow up to be so.

12 year old boys are not evil. They're children. And they're susceptible to manipulation from these fucks on the right who have sadly correctly identified that large swathes of the left will ignore and shun them. People turn to extremist factions when they feel ignored and dehumanised.

A 12 year old boy online isn't going to be able to read the nuances in your uber ironic but not really actually ironic "all white men are inherently trash" hot takes. They're going to take that at face value because they're 12 and that's what 12 year olds do. And they're going to feel angry, rejected and judged by your words. And then fucks like Andrew Tate get to swoop in and tell them that you're wrong and start the ball rolling on that indoctrination.

If you're an adult leftist and you honestly think teenage boys possess the wherewithal to purposefully follow dangerous Misogynists like Andrew Tate in order to "preserve their own privilege long term" then I'm sorry to say you're too far gone and I'd suggest logging off and actually trying to have a conversation with a kid who is vulnerable to the grooming of these uber misogynists and treat them as a human being instead of a reflection of an identity you've boxed them into.

You may tick more diversity boxes but you are still the adult. Start acting like it.

[thetolkiengeek]

If I’m allowed to add onto this, I can say with 100% certainty that being open and honest with a 12 year old boy and allowing him to ask questions that may seem concerning to you absolutely works.

My youngest sibling is 8 years younger than I am, so he was a preteen when I was in undergrad. He’s firmly planted in Gen z territory while I’m at the tail end of millennial, which isn’t important except to say that his unlimited access to YouTube and Reddit was not something I really had when I grew up.

My brother started to fall down the alt-right pipeline. He confessed that his YouTube recommendations were mostly guys talking about gamergate and how the feminists are feminazis and are actually evil (side note: ever notice how the term “feminazi” has stopped being used since the rise in acceptability of nazism again? Horrible to think about). It could have been really scary, but he pulled himself out.

The key here is that my brother trusted me enough to come to me and ask me questions.

Ive been a very vocal feminist pretty much all my life, and it’s a long and glorious tradition in my family, and my mom is the one who taught me baby’s first feminism. Because my brother trusted me and knew I’d never discount his opinion for no reason, he asked me what my responses were to some of the videos he was seeing. He said “I think there are some good points” and I watched the videos and talked to him about some of the rhetorical techniques or logical fallacies they used. Then I talked to him about why I’m a feminist and what that means.

That dialogue changed everything.

My brother is now starting his first year in college and is taking feminist and gender studies classes, just for fun. He is himself a vocal feminist, and he’s so damn proud of himself.

I’m proud of him too, and I’m honored that he trusted me enough to ask me what I thought.

So please don’t write off young men the way the op of the original tweet does, ESPECIALLY not the young men in your life. Be someone they trust to ask questions. It’s the frontline of this battle.

[mikkeneko]

In this same vein, I really feel like people need to lay off on the "so they want a cookie/medal for doing the bare minimum/for having basic decency?" rhetoric. because whatever ends up driving it, the actual effect is to drive people away at the door, to convince them that there's no point in trying because nothing they ever do will be good enough.

social response affects social behavior! if we want people to continue a certain line of behavior, then yes, it has to be encouraged! if you, personally, do not feel up to handing out said cookies, then maybe consider... just not engaging at all? The uncharitable thoughts can stay on the inside maybe?

because if you're so determined to make sure they do not feel welcome here, I'm afraid that there is no lack of welcome to be found on the other end of the rabbit hole

If you’re an adult, do the stuff you couldn’t as a kid.

Like, me and my sister went to a museum, and they had an extra exhibit of butterflies. But it cost £3. So we sighed, walked past, then stopped. We each had £3. We could see the butterflies. And we did it was great. We followed it up with an ice-cream as well because Mum and Dad weren’t there to say no.

I was driving back from a work trip with 2 other people in their early 20s, and we drove past a MacDonalds. One of the others went “Aww man, I’d love a McFlurry.” And the guy driving pulled in to the drive through. It was wild. But it was great.

I went to a park over the weekend and I was thinking “Man, I’d love to hire one of those bikes and cycle round the park.” It took me a few minutes to go “Wait, I can hire one of those bikes!”

I guess what I’m saying is, those impulsive things you wanted to do as a kid - see the dinosaur exhibit, play in the fountains with the other kids, lie in the shade for 2 hours - you can do when you’re an adult. You have to deal with a whole lot of other bull, but at least you can indulge your inner 8 year-old.
