Ik werd heel blij van dit artikel! Goede uitleg over de fediverse en de verschillen daarbinnen. Ben heel benieuwd naar het medium waar ze uiteindelijk mee gaan komen.
My husband said: how do you think this will be for the people around the person with ADHD who can teleport? One moment you're talking with them, the other moment they're gone 😂
Definitely agree with your last sentence, but I still think the artist is mixing some phases of the menstrual cycle here. English is not my native language, so I hope I will get all my terms correct for the people who would like to learn about this.
The menstrual cycle has four phases. The cycle starts with the menstruation. Due to a drop on eustrogen and progesterone levels, the uterine lining sheds. It will leave the body along with some blood. The number of days this last and the amount of blood varies per person.
Right up from the start is also the start of the second phase: the follicular phase. This one matches the left side of the comic and the description of your partners. It last till about half of the cycle. The hypothalamus in the brain stimulates the production of the hormone FSH through the hypofyse. During this time, people can feel great. They can feel prettier, better and smarter in performing and even stronger when they are doing a workout for example. No more worries about money, relationships, the world can be a great place in this phase.
Around day 14 of the cycle is the ovulation. This happens around 24 hours after the LH (luteinizing hormone) causes a crack or tear in the follicle of the ovary. Some people can feel it happening, for some people it hurts, others can't feel anything.
Then it's time for phase four: the luteal phase. In this phase some people will want to turn their life around. Others feel like they have all the luck in the world. Others will want to cancel their subscriptions, give away their valuables and delete their socials because nothing matters anymore. To prep the uterus for a possible fertilization, the hormone progesterone makes sure an egg could implant in the uterine lining. Progesterone could give people in the luteal phase huge Netflix-, eating-, snarling- or sleeping urges. It can also cause endo belly if you have endometriosis.
And then you have PMS. It's not one of the phases, but up to 80% of the people menstruating experiences PMS in a mild or severe variant. It peaks around the ovulation and the luteal phase. It's not around in the first week of the cycle. Progesterone is the most influential hormone during PMS. There are up to 150 identified symptoms according to the British association for PMS. Most people are familiar with tiredness, feeling lethargic, hunger, aggression, gloom and mood swings. This matches the right side of the comic.
Well, this was my presentation. Hope some people read this and learn something! My source is the book 'Je mag je weer aankleden - alles over endometriose' from Maartje van Hoek. It translates to 'You may get dressed again - everything about endometriosis'.
Can you expand a bit what you tell people about not liking Meta's business model? I got some people to follow me to Signal, but only for messaging with my husband and me. They don't really care for the privacy aspect, so I'm curious about your other arguments!
One that always stayed with me is from a coming-of-age story:
If truth was a crayon and it was up to me to put a wrapper around it and name its color, I know just what I would call it—dinosaur skin.
Sarah Weeks - So B. It
If you're curious, here's the rest of the first chapter which really ties the first sentence together nicely:
I used to think, without really thinking about it, that I knew what color that was. But that was a long time ago, before I knew what I know now about both dinosaur skin and the truth.
The fact is, you can’t tell squat about the color of an animal just from looking at its bones, so nobody knows for sure what color dinosaurs really were. For years I looked at pictures of them, trusting that whoever was in charge of coloring them in was doing it based on scientific fact, but the truth is they were only guessing. I realized that one afternoon, sitting in the front seat of Sheriff Roy Franklin’s squad car, the fall before I turned thirteen.
Another thing I found out right around that same time is that not knowing something doesn’t mean you’re stupid. All it means is that there’s still room left to wonder. For instance about dinosaurs—were they the same color as the sky the morning I set off for Liberty? Or were they maybe the same shade of brown as the dust my shoes kicked up on the driveway at Hilltop Home?
I’d be lying if I said that given a choice, I wouldn’t rather know than not know. But there are some things you can just know for no good reason other than that you do, and then there are other things that no matter how badly you want to know them, you just can’t.
The truth is, whether you know something or not doesn’t change what was. If dinosaurs were blue, they were blue; if they were brown, they were brown whether anybody ever knows it for a fact or not.
First I thought of: The Bitterbynde Trilogy from Celia Dart - Thornton. She created an amazing world and I loved her way of storytelling and the characters she created. I've read them in Dutch, but the original books are English so that shouldn't be a problem. Highly recommended!
Hi! Ik vind het heel leuk dat je dit initiatief neemt. Een tip van iemand waarvan de examens inmiddels al een hele lange tijd geleden zijn: als je merkt dat je alles lijkt te zijn vergeten, weet dan dat de kennis nog steeds in je hoofd zit. Je kan er alleen op dat moment even niet bij. Stop met het kijken naar je opgave en pak een punt voorbij je tafel om naar te kijken. Zet je beide voeten stevig op de grond en focus op het punt waar ze contact maken met de grond. Adem rustig in en uit door je neus. Drie tellen in en vijf a zes tellen uit (het tellen helpt je hersenen afleiden). Richt je ademhaling op je buik en voel hoe je buik uitzet en weer intrekt bij het in- en uitademen.
Als je merkt dat je weer tot rust bent gekomen, kijk dan opnieuw naar de opgave alsof je die weer voor het eerst ziet. Volg de stappen die je misschien al hebt gezet wanneer je 'm al een gedeelte hebt opgelost. Waarschijnlijk zul je merken dat je brein het vanaf dat moment weer oppakt!
Het lijkt soms zonde van de tijd om zo'n ademhalingsoefening te gaan doen, terwijl je een test hebt, maar de tijdswinst die je uiteindelijk maakt door je hersenen uit die paniekstand te halen, weegt er bijna altijd tegenop. Alvast heel veel succes!
It's possible that she hasn't got aphantasia, but something called face blindness (prosopagnosia). The Wikipedia might be an interesting read for you guys!
Former (Dutch) teacher here! Diary of a wimpy kid is easy reading for a lot of kids and I always found that the really engrossing books could help them move on to their actual reading level. For my students who liked comic mischief in class, I could always get them hooked to reading with The Saga of Darren Shan.
Don't let the 'horror' genre fool you: the story is dark and funny. Based on the books you named I think your kid might love it!
Mijn collega vertelde over 'Alle geschiedenis ooit': een podcast over de beste verhalen uit de wereldgeschiedenis. Ik heb 'm zelf nog niet geluisterd.
Een die ik zelf erg leuk vind, is 'De Grote Vriendelijke Podcast' voor volwassenen over jeugdliteratuur. Ze interviewen schrijvers op een hele prettige en toegankelijke manier. Ook leuk om te luisteren wanneer je zelf al een tijd geen jeugdboeken hebt gelezen!
Nog een niche waar je van moet houden: 'Beyond the Game': meestal interviews met escaperoomeigenaren, maar ook over escapegerelateerde onderwerpen. Als je fan bent van escaperooms is het zeker een aanrader!
Hey, I'm so sorry, I didn't see any notification of your message! And still not really used to checking my comments due to my lurker past 😂
My second surgery went very well, but the recovery is a removed. They removed an ovary and an endometrium with a 6cm diameter, a lot of peritoneum that had growths and scar tissue on it, endometriosis nodules on my diaphragm and large endometriosis spots that formed on the scar of the last operation on the top of my vagina. They also removed a piece of my intestine and multiple adhesions.
It's four months later now. The first two months I felt great, because I was in a lot of pain before the surgery and that was gone. But in month three new pain flaired up. My doctors think I'm in chronic pain territory now, where my brain has learned to be oversensitive for pain. I will soon be starting with a treatment that's specialized in re-training your brain. You can read and watch a informative video about it here: www.tamethebeast.org/ I think it's very promising!
Hi! You're not alone! I deleted Reddit as well this year and I miss the Endo subreddit... Would love to see some more activity in this community as well.
I'm a 35F from the Netherlands, so English is not my first language and my experiences with docters/hospitals might be different from your own experiences. I'm still recovering from my second endometriosis operation last june. They found a lot, even more than what was visible on the scans.
So... on Reddit I was a lurker, but as they say: be the change you wanna see! Any one else here except for calculusqu33n and me? Maybe post your age and tell us what made you visit this community? :)

Thanks!
Thank you!
That looks delicious! Could you tell me how this works? Just chuck everything in for a certain amount of time or cook the rice first or...?
Still fun to see in different languages! In Dutch the literal translation is:
â™™ Pawn
â™– Tower
â™” King
♕ Lady
â™— Walker (as in: slow runner)
♘ Horse
Pion, toren, koning, dame, loper, paard.
