I forgot that it's my mega week so no big info dump this time. Instead I bring a question: how do you practice gender self-care? Do you have any activities or rituals that make you feel more comfortable in your gender? Painting my nails and taking care of my hair are the most consistent ones. These shouldn't even be considered gendered activities by society, but I missed out on having long hair and painted nails when I was younger because of my assigned gender, so doing them now feels validating and gives me confidence.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

You would think that someone who's 22 years wouldn't be larping as a sailor trynna go all "I can smell when it's going to rain" but no, these people exist.

When it starts raining without them predicting it they start saying shit like "it's not supposed to rain right now, the clouds aren't right", as if mother nature has made a mistake and should correct herself

People can generally smell petrichor at quite diffuse levels, and thats the smell of rain. Humans are weird about it, we can detect it the way sharks can smell blood in water (not an exaggeration)

[โ€“] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I know about the rain smell. I can also smell it.

It's not wierd, except when you're saying shit like having a 100% accuracy and acting like an anime character saying that you fought off a panther or 8 armed dudes in a back alley.

[โ€“] lilypad@hexbear.net 4 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

smell rain and claims of 100% accuracy

Ok yeah thats offputting and frustrating. Overconfidence and pride and all that.

fought off a panther or 8 armed dudes in a back alley.

jesse-wtf how did we get to panthers and armed dudes...?

[โ€“] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 3 points 13 hours ago

It is the effect of watching too much of the wrong kinds of anime.

dracula-flow I beat off eight dudes in an alley, this rain ain't shit to me

I can tell when it's going to rain by looking at the leaves. They curl in the humidity and look all silvery.

[โ€“] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 2 points 18 hours ago

I never thought about that. That's pretty cool.

[โ€“] Alisu@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

To be fair, it usually smells a specific way before rain starts, but saying it like that is a little weird.

[โ€“] Arahnya@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i know when its about to rain because I get a headache

[โ€“] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 4 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Ok maybe mother nature should correct herself and stop making your head hurt

[โ€“] Arahnya@hexbear.net 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

lol thank you ๐Ÿ˜I do like her storms thoo!!

[โ€“] sodium_nitride@hexbear.net 3 points 18 hours ago

Storms are very nice indeed! Don't get too many down in my place.

Being able to boss mother nature around would be a great power to have yells-at-cloud
