Beautifully written, thank you.
5·11 days agoI don’t see mine. Nightgown, no undies.
This made me think of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauty_Revealed
I think this is one of the first documented cases of someone “sending a nude”.
29·19 days agoWelcome! Lemmy is like Reddit was in its infancy.
Don’t be a jerk and you’ll be fine. :)
2·19 days agoAbsolutely, it is such hard work. Way harder than raising a human baby in the beginning, they need to be fed every 2-3 hours at first, round the clock. I’m glad your bottle baby made it, and proud of you for handling it! ❤️
Hey there, I have rescued and bottle fed kittens for quite a few years, and it is really hard and gruelling work. I am so proud of you and pleased that there are people like you in this world.
I do believe your story and I will be donating, also I am happy to answer any questions about kittens if you ever have any.
One thing you could try that has helped me in the past, is to contact larger local rescues when you find kittens and ask them not to take the kittens, but if they can help with spay and neuter costs and adoption connections. These rescues have deals with local vets and can often get a few kittens in, if it means someone else is taking care of them.
Over the years I have always been able to get the cost of neutering the kittens covered after calling everyone, though not always the mothers.
Also remember that those kittens can get pregnant as early as four months old, so they need to be separated from each other until you can get them all fixed.

They are really neat!
51·1 month agoPilots train for hypoxia in hyperbaric chambers, repeatedly losing consciousness to train.
I question the claim that the brain needs to rewire itself because of massive cell death.
That is a seriously problematic study with few controls and a small sample size.
Pilots regularly train in for hypoxia in hyperbaric chambers, losing consciousness repeatedly to train.
Consent and education are important, but safely engaging in breath play is very unlikely to give your partner brain damage.
Exactly what I wondered when this was brought up 6 months ago!

This article is feeling kind of clickbaitish, as the sources are … odd.
However, restricting blood flow to the brain can also have serious health implications.
While not all pressure on the neck will be fatal, research shows even relatively low pressure can cause death by strangulation.
The first source is a medical journal describing the physiology of the arteries in the neck, and does not seem to include anything about restricting blood flow (never mind temporarily) having serious health consequences.
The second source is a book from 1991 about autoerotic asphyxiation with the quote:
autoerotic asphyxia denotes death resulting from failure of a release mechanism of the device, apparatus or prop designed to attain cerebral hypoxia for heightened arousal.
Which is … not the same as doing this with someone, and doesn’t address the risks of a partner who releases pressure immediately after a loss of consciousness.
The issues around consent are troubling indeed, consent should always be paramount.
I also found it amusing that the beginning of the article said
Although rare, strangulation is the leading cause of death in consensual BDSM play.
Which links to a study that found a total of 16 cases that included strangulation between 1982 and 2020. Rare indeed.
My husband and I dabble in breath play, so I was curious and read a few studies myself. It seems that every case study I could find included atypical circumstances. Things like accidental hanging, or asphyxiation due to bags etc being over the head.
This paper includes a 50 year review of cases for anyone interested. https://benthamopen.com/contents/pdf/TOFORSJ/TOFORSJ-1-1.pdf
It is also worth noting that loss of consciousness due to cutting off blood flow to the brain (cerebral hypoxia) is not dissimilar to the hypoxia experienced by pilots, who even train with repeated exposure to hypoxia in hyperbaric chambers.
I would be curious to know if there were any studies of the long term effects of this on pilots. (My dive into the rabbit hole is done for the day, lol.)

Yes! I posted about this a while ago when some environmental activists were sitting in the middle of train tracks to stop trains and got arrested. You don’t have to do that, just toss a molly at the control boxes that line the tracks. Depending on the location and how many you can get to, you can have trains stopped for weeks.
10·2 months agoYes, when I was a kid in school in the 90s we learned logo and qbasic.

Logo uses a little turtle to draw, it was a blast!
This is hilarious, you have a gift with words!
I actually have a real, studied, easy thing you can try!
I found out by accident because I was taking b vitamins daily and started taking them at night, and noticed I was suddenly having very vivid dreams.
So much so that I googled it and it turns out that taking b6 before bed can cause vivid dreams and dream recall!
Here’s a study, there are a few.
It’s happening here in Australia too. I’m watching the slow rise after being lucky enough to escape the US.
I wrote about my experience going to a racist rally a month or so ago with my husband and children.
It was supposed to be peaceful and I wouldn’t have expected to be putting my kids in danger.
Horrible.
WHAT??!
I have a spray bottle of water marked “CAT CONTROL - WATER ONLY” in permanent marker set to spray long range. I keep it on the floor next to the bed and would spray them if they did this. Now I only have to grab the bottle and shake it and they scatter.
