I read the opposite, that it stops your blood from clotting if you apply it onto a cut!

Does anyone have evidence for Vaseline being good for wounds? This thread was the first place I read it and I’m still skeptical!
I use it for my lips btw. Only after I’ve brushed my teeth. I used to use it on dry skin in the winter when my skin would literally crack from the cold but that hasn’t been a problem for a good few years thankfully!
Drive!!! What a gorgeous film. I was about to comment that it’s my most rewatched too.
For me it’s not that I don’t particularly like the characters. I thought they were well written and it was possible to sympathise with them at certain times, despite them doing awful things.
My problem with this show, and previously In The Thick of It, is that watching people being mean to each other in a workplace environment gives me a fight/flight response 🫣 I’m sure it’s a great show with great writing etc but I’m gonna stick with rewatching The Office. I’ve gone through enough workplace stress in my life, I don’t need to sit through an extra hour of it a week during my leisure time!
I recently googled “grass” to find out more about different species and the results were all trying to sell me grass.
Grass.
Where I live it’s as common as dirt. I wonder how many people Google the word “grass” with zero qualifiers when trying to BUY grass.
Ffs
I just started a new job teaching and I overheard one of the students say to my boss that I was one of the best teachers they’d ever had. I nearly cried. It means the world to me. I feel like I’ve been a square peg in a round hole for years in my various jobs and now I’m finally doing something that fits.
Not bad! Had my first shift in a new job last night and I LOVED it! It’s just a part time thing a few hours a week but I really feel like I’m playing to my strengths in my job at last.
Had a bit of a wild weekend (happy pride!) so I’ve been doing my best to eat clean, exercise and take lots of supplements. Did my first spin class in years yesterday and it wasn’t complete torture! Still not feeling 100% but I’ve definitely been through worse.
helLO! They are gorgeous! Gibe them lots of treats for being such good cats pls x
How was moving with a cat? Did you let them wander outdoors straight away or did you keep them in for a bit?
I know moving is something I’ll have to do with mine at some stage and I’m so worried about how it’ll go!
Thank you for introducing me to her work! It’s stunning.
The quokka!!! Ahhhhh
I sent him the spinning hedgehog in the bathtub, LOVE it
Oh god this is depressing. I used to immediately go on reddit to see if anyone else had read it and read what they thought 🤣
Apart from that I wear the ear off my partner about the writing and the themes and the cultural context and how reading it in the 21st century changes the text. I rarely write down what I thought of a book, but that actually sounds like quite a nice thing to do.
With all due respect, I think money exchanging hands can stay out of the fediverse. It doesn’t line up with it being free of advertising.
Setting up local swap shops would be more in line with the ethos I’ve seen on the site so far.
I feel like my community does not show young people enough ways to socialise and have fun without alcohol so it took me a long time to find that for myself.
Hear hear! Since drinking I’ve realised that there’s very little else to do where I live. Now that I’m not calmed down by drinking, sitting in a bar all night has me bouncing up and down off my seat from boredom!!
on top of that drinking just gives me a massive headache nowadays, no matter what i drink or how little
I’ve noticed this too, the thought of even having one pint seems so dumb to me because I know I’ll feel crap the next day.
On a completely unrelated note, I love your username!
Sorry to hear about your health troubles.
The weight thing is mad isn’t it? It’s been quite easy to keep weight off. Although I think I’ve upped my sugar intake to make up for it!
Joined! Thank you! It’s very quiet in there right now but there’s one very determined mod making daily check in posts. I’m going to keep them company. Anyone else in this thread who’s sober or sober-curious, looks like a nice spot to hang out in the absence of a subreddit.
The awkwardness in social situations is a killer. Have you found it’s gotten any easier over time to deal with that?
Hi fellow teacher 👋
