A+++ batch of secrets

[(Anonymous)]

Nice mix of universally relatable, funny, awwww, WTF, and far right grumbling.

It's doing it for me.

Are you a side, back, or stomach sleeper?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm primarily a side sleeper.

Re: Are you a side, back, or stomach sleeper?

[(Anonymous)]

Side. Sometimes I'll wake up on my back, but I can't fall asleep like that. It's really annoying because I have very wide shoulders and no one makes thick pillows.

Re: Are you a side, back, or stomach sleeper?

[philstar22]

There are pillows on Amazon designed for side and/or stomach sleepers. Not sure about ones specific to wide shoulders, though. But I've found some pretty decent ones that work for me either on side or stomach.

Re: Are you a side, back, or stomach sleeper?

[(Anonymous)]

Side-stomach, so half and half, with an arm under my pillow. I rarely sleep on my back.

Re: Are you a side, back, or stomach sleeper?

[(Anonymous)]

I was a stomach sleeper up until I injured my neck in a water park (holding onto an inner tube in a wave pool, that fucked me up BAD) and ever since then I can't sleep on my stomach because it it absolutely agonizing on my neck. Which sucks because I feel like I haven't slept as well since I had to stop sleeping on my stomach. Now I mostly sleep on my back but roll around from side to side sometimes too.

Re: Are you a side, back, or stomach sleeper?

[(Anonymous)]

Always start on my back and end up on my side.

Re: Are you a side, back, or stomach sleeper?

[philstar22]

Mix of stomach and side, leaning towards more stomach or partial (halfway on side, but with other leg in stomach position). I can't sleep on my back, never could for some reason. I used to be a primarily sideways sleeper, but I've developed pain and numbness in my left hip when I sleep that way.

Re: Are you a side, back, or stomach sleeper?

[(Anonymous)]

Primarily a side sleeper, sometimes on my back but not often. I used to be a stomach sleeper when I was a younger, but my spine can no longer take it.

Re: Are you a side, back, or stomach sleeper?

[(Anonymous)]

A near lifelong stomach sleeper. I'm almost in my 40s. My neck is a little stiff, but I'm so anal-retentive, I legitimately can't sleep any other way but on my stomach. I don't know if I should be concerned.

Re: Are you a side, back, or stomach sleeper?

[(Anonymous)]

Gotta be on my side at night. I can nap on my stomach in the daytime. Can't explain why.

Re: Are you a side, back, or stomach sleeper?

[(Anonymous)]

All of the above. I rotate like broken clock on a tilt-a-whirl.

Sick

[(Anonymous)]

Following up on my rant from yesterday.

Surprise! I participated in a mandatory gathering on Monday, full of unmasked assholes coughing like it was a tuberculosis ward. And now I'm sick.

No coughing yet, but I did cry hysterically for 20 minutes this morning and fantasize about getting pulled over by a state trooper in my bawling state while on my way to today's mandatory gathering.

Re: Sick

[(Anonymous)]

So sorry. That sucks. My office is like that too. We're encouraged to be in the office with masks if sick. Not that we're able to do 100% work when sick, and then we get judged for that too.


Also, a continuance of my rant from yesterday as well, but it turns out that not only am I having menopause, but the hormone therapy I was given may be a migraine trigger, so now I'm talking back and forth with OBGYN and neurologist and trying to figure out what the next plan is. So frustrating.

Re: Sick

[(Anonymous)]

You know that you could also wear a mask? To try to help prevent getting sick? (idk I missed yesterday)

Do you stick to one fandom for a long time or hop around them?

[(Anonymous)]

Or some combo in between?

Re: Do you stick to one fandom for a long time or hop around them?

[philstar22]

My main fandoms I stick around a long time and have a hard time finding replacements. Was Star Wars and Potter for the longest time, now Star Wars and Tolkien. Other ones I've stuck around a long time too. I occasionally add new ones, but I've only usually had a couple big fandoms, and I rarely add to those.

there were a couple fandoms I was only in briefly, but usually that was because I was interested in a single character (American Horror Story- Michael Langdon), and that interest never developed into a full fandom love.

Or Dungeons and Dragons and the Honor Among Thieves movie where it was just the one movie. I think I'd dive back in in a heartbeat if we got a sequel/prequel/whatever.

Re: Do you stick to one fandom for a long time or hop around them?

[(Anonymous)]

It's changed as I aged into midlife. There's less media that hits me in the fannish feels.

And when I do get excited, I venture into my OG fandom or my newest obsession, and I show up with my hardcore YAYYYY, and I get crushed under a pile of negativity for whatever enthusiasm I'm enjoying or displaying, and then I come to my senses and take the nearest exit and go make things IRL.

The last time I got really fannish, it was over an older, somewhat obscure book series someone obliquely recced here. But there was no fandom, and everything about it was problematic by today's standards, so I enjoyed the brief flare of joy and moved on.

Re: Do you stick to one fandom for a long time or hop around them?

[(Anonymous)]

I've been with the Sonic fandom since 1991 and I ain't moving from my chair no matter how ugly the shipping gets.

Same with TMNT, since 1987, and I've enjoyed almost every iteration (except 2012, the animation is weird).

Re: Do you stick to one fandom for a long time or hop around them?

[(Anonymous)]

For me it depends on whether I'm happy with what canon itself gives me. If I'm satisfied with that, then I really don't feel any desire to stick around in the fandom once canon itself is over.

For example, I loved FMA and I was super into the fandom while it was running, but I felt that the ending of the manga really wrapped things up nicely and there wasn't anything left that I felt hadn't already been explored to a degree that I was perfectly happy with. So I pretty much dropped that fandom once the manga finished.

And then there are other canons where I feel like there was a lot that was left open-ended or unanswered, so those I tend to stick around in until I've read/written all of the things that I wanted to see in canon that didn't happen.

Re: Do you stick to one fandom for a long time or hop around them?

[(Anonymous)]

When I was younger I stuck to my fandoms for years, but I've been cycling most of my most recent ones for a while now.
I got into comics, which is always a mess, but especially since I started from the beginning and sorta went on a hiatus once I got to the years around when I was born... (so everything continues to be about five worlds away, on the off chance anyone has read anything at all) I haven't found a fandom I've really been able to sink my teeth into aside from that in years though. So hop around, I will!

Vent thread

[(Anonymous)]

Because I need one

I have anger issues and find it hard to forgive.

[(Anonymous)]

When I say "anger issues", I don't mean that I get physically violent or hurt people or even scream and yell. But when someone disappoints me by being an asshole, I just think that's it, I'm done. I don't want to see this person again, or speak to them, it makes me mad if I have to be nice to them and I don't want to do them any favors ever again. Maybe that's not healthy but goddamn, if I could put a whole lot of space between me and all the people on my extremely long shit list, I feel like my life would be a lot more peaceful.

Also talking about perimenopause

[(Anonymous)]

I have an absolutely unhinged colleague. At this point we are hoping that she'll resign on her own. She's managed to get on the nerves of basically everyone in the office. Also she is crying all the time because "we are being rude to her". (My boss IS a bit short with her, but she started the rumour of him being ex-convict for the record)
The thing is, she is of perimenopause age and I just can't help thinking that a lot of her behaviour is affected by it. And I have a mix of "maybe we are hard on her" and "oh god, I am going to be LIKE THIS in a few years) feelings. Argh
