im so annoyed with everything today, i think i need some tasty food and a million hours of sleep and then I'll be back to normal

#the teacher at the first class today was so dibsjdhdhdhdhsgs 😫 #like she was teaching us things that are like unrelated to the class that shes teaching so idek why she was teaching it #but also its things that we have been learning since the 1st semester and we've done them in at least 10 classes and she was acting like #this was the 1st time we were hearing about it #like oh yeah we're on the 7th semester of studying nutrition but no one bothered to tell us how many calories are in a gram of fat #and she gave us homework 'to see if we know this' like #oh yes i can make a meal plan for a child with crohns or cystic fibrosis or celiac disease or everything else we've done this semester and #all the other semesters but i guess i cant tell you what micronutrients are in this one breakfast meal #like fuck off and stick to what you're supposed to be teaching #anyway i know im getting more annoyed than i should but she was just even more annoying than usual today #like she interrupted the lesson every 5 minutes to yell at someome to be quiet i wasnt even aware there were people talking until she yelled #anyway #also my new earphones aren't working well idk why ive definitely not been mistreating them that much for them to break in less than a month #like i had my old pair for at least 4 years until the broke and i dont think the wire got cut in them like the sound was coming out weird #but there was sound coming out. in the new ones you need to hold them in a very specific angle for sound to come out #and like im careful with how i put them away so what is up with them? #my theory is that they make wired earphones shitty on purpose so that you will spend a lot of money and buy wireless #also we had said from Tuesday that we would hang out with my friends today but i guess they forgot or idk and they made other plans #(to go home and sleep) and during the weekend the one friend wont be here and next week my family will be here so we probably wont hang out #again until next year and we have exams almost immediately so we wont be hanging out much then either #also my period is supposed to come soon and i hope that it will either come today or it will wait until after Christmas #ideally it will never come ever again but we cant always get what we want #anyway im gonna go eat the rest of my μεσογειακό and go take a nap #jo says stuff #personal ramblings

One of the (very few) pros of becoming celiac was the little labels they put on all the food because now my friend group has an ongoing joke that I can only have stuff that's "girlfriend certified" which makes every single one of my meals that extra lil amount of fruity 🏳️‍🌈 (hehe)

#me when the pasta is queer coded #autoimmune disease said gay rights or whatever #celiac #celiac disease #gluten free #gay #lgbt #queer #anyway celiac fucking sucks lmao #wishing you all a very no cross contamination kinda week

[daytimelunar]

Anyone hate how people at fast food places do not give a shit about major allergies

Like

YES SUR IT IS A BIG DEAL IF I EAT GLUTEN ID RATHER NOT HAVE MY DIGESTIVE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN TODAY

and it’s even worse with delivery

Yes I know we ordered two gluten free pizzas but NO ITS NOT OKAY TO GIVE US NORMAL ONES

NO DO NOT CHARGE US FOR TWO MORE WHEN WE ASK FOR SOME NEW ONES

it’s like sending someone with no arms or legs a push powered wheelchair and then charging them more to get given a electric one

#celiac disease #celiac #chronic illness #stupid fucking workers #this fucking sucks #I’m sorry DO YOU UNDERSTAND HEALTH #i hate my body #i hate this #fuck

"ha ha you're gluten free? i could never live like that i'd just die" gouging your eyes out gouging your eyes out gouging your eyes out gouging your eyes out fuck you

#gluten free #celiac disease #literally shut the fuck up #i do not care if you think my diet is gross #i will literally die without it

Tfw a doctor acknowledges that something wrong with you isn’t because of periods.

#I might have celiac disease which sucks #I fucking love bread #also gluten actually damages your small intestine if you have celiac #which is fun and also explains a lot about why I have so many deficiencies no matter how much i eat

[magioffire]

Why does Vali hate bread?

grass never evolved on beatha (most ground cover is made up of moss and lichen, ferns, horsetails and other low lying shrubs) so the inhabitants dont have the ability to break down gluten and the other products of grain. bread/wheat/grain products would likely just make a dokkalfar sick

#so i guess dokkalfar just all have celiac disease #shit man if you wanna put vali out of commission for a while dont give him actual poison give him bread #i love how they are resistant to all these different types of poisonous substances but fucking bread? thats too much #ooc. #biology. #thinnyhopper #you give vali a piece of bread and hes like 'are you TRYING to poison me???'

[house-in-the-backyard-trees]

I'm literally gonna cry my mom accidentally bought food with gluten in it and we didn't notice until we already ate it so I'm freaking the fuck out I have a concert 3 hours away tomorrow and I don't know what to fucking do

#like this is why i always check so many times when we buy things #why i have food anxiety #why it took me so long to be comfortable trying different restaurants cause this can just fucking happen #like she bought a thing of red beans and rice and our had flour in it that she didn't notice #like fuck all i can do is hope and pray it somehow doesn't bother me when i literally never cheat on my diet so #whatever amount of gluten is in that is gonna be a fucking shock to my intestines #this is also why i have to fucking always go shopping with my mom cause she once bought pancake batter that wasn't gluten free and luckily #i pointed it out to her before we even put it away #like im literally debating making myself throw up :) #i don't wanna fucking ruin my concert tomorrow I've been looking forward to it for months and now that i texted my friend about this she's #like oh well i are dinner and i feel like shit like i might have food poisoning like no you can't back out of this on me #I'm just about to have a meltdown #celiac #celiac disease #glutenfree #gluten free #gluten

[harrowharkwife]

I can’t believe I just woke up to this 😅 Does the whole sperm donor theory comes just from the TVline snippet? Fandom absolutely skipped over the obvious threesome suggestion (quite possible as Eddie “gets involved” with the singer and if it implies something even remotely romantic for Eddie we know how Buck gets) and jumped straight to sperm donor thing? Threesome is sort of close to Buck’s current storyline of being single and realising he’s better being alone for now but the last time he talked about being a father was in season 1 maybe. No offence but it’s the most outlandish theory ever since “Maddie is actually Buck’s mother”. Am I missing something that makes it so believable to others?

cranky cause you can't handle fun theories, huh?

POV im washing this rancid ask down the drain

#just say you hate fun and go? oh my god #also like. it's 3% based off the snipett and 97% based on functional media comprehension skills #which based on the fact that you genuinely seem to think a? threesome? plotline? is more likely? #on this incredibly safe for work primetime fox procedural? #you seem to be lacking! anyway 🥰 #also the singer doesn't happen for like 3 episodes after animal instincts babes. it's two different plots! keep up! #also how are you gonna ship buddie and say buck hasn't thought about being a father since season 1. the fuck? make it make sense LOL #also people have already been theorizing about sperm donor buck for weeks now BECAUSE OF HIS FUCKING DONOR BABY PLOTLINE? HELLO? #sorry i was bitchy and mean in these tags anon im sure you meant well. its yom kippur and im having a celiac disease flare #im just cranky and very fond of this theory lol

New rule: if you use "gluten free" about a baked good in fiction as shorthand for "gross and snobby" you have to personally come down to my house and show me you're a better baker than me. And if you can't change recipes on the fly to work with ingredient substitutes, make food that people don't know is gluten free, combine several recipes to come up with something entirely brand new, leaven a cake with egg whites whipped to stiff peaks alone, and make desserts that people actively request me to make for birthdays, you're going to lose.

Either that or you can admit that you're being a shit about food sensitivities and intolerances. Your call!

#i have celiac disease motherfucker if I don't bake something fancy I don't get to fucking eat it #you bet your ass i learned to do all that shit #except the egg whites thing I've been doing that forever for fried pepper batter including folding the yolks back in #and it fucks #i know why this happens but buddy if i could get gluten free meals at down home or hole in the wall restaurants I fucking would I love them #but i gotta pay the fucking celiac tax and go to fancier places #and i get pissed the fuck off about people blowing off gluten free as a fad diet cause it dicks me over every time

[homunculus-argument]

Town baker who's buff as hell from whisking every batter and kneading every dough by hand. And those who don't respect her at least have the common sense to fear her, because if you don't, she'll knead the air out of you, too. She's the first one in town to start selling gluten-free bread. Save for the one family who requested it from her, nobody in the town knows what the fuck gluten is. Nobody else is allowed to buy the gluten-free bread before she's made sure that this one family has gotten theirs.

Nobody else is entirely sure what gluten-free bread is, but if the baker says there's no fucking gluten in this bread, then that's final, that's all they know about gluten. Nobody knows how she takes it out of the bread, either, but the most popular theory is that she beats it out of the dough, somehow. She makes a dough and then beats the gluten out of it. Yeah, that's probably how these things work.

Once better information starts trickling into town, and people gain a better understanding of what celiac disease is and what gluten has to do with it. But the people do still agree that if anyone could beat the gluten out of bread, it would be their town baker.

I love people dunking on Ji/lly Juice.

I just can't help but think "this is how you completely botch making kimchi or sauerkraut." :I

#i haaate snake oil shit like this #it was a near certainty that she made the last days of some guy w/ the big c EVEN WORSE #'cause news flash nobody needs THAT much salt in their system #hypernatremia will /absolutely/ fuck you up #(just thinking about that case report chubby emu covered on a lady who did the soy sauce colon cleanse) #(because when she was desperate to find help for what turned out to be years of untreated/undx'd celiac disease) #(this colon cleanse did permanent damage to her brain - as in presumed locked-in syndrome) #(don't get me started on people torturing their autistic kids with this garbage)

[marieaqua]

Important reminder to my fellow celiac girlies, MARGARITAS CAN HAVE GLUTEN IN THEM!!!! Pls ask the restaurant you’re at about it to avoid having the day im having now

#celiacs #celiac disease #if you saw me puking in the parking lot of the er next to the Mexican restaurant no you didn’t #I was in the er parking lot bc my mom tried to take me bc of how much pain I was in #after puking I was able to tell her it was gluten not a heart attack or anything m #fuck man this hurts so much #what also sucks is I took insulin for my food than didn’t eat most of it THEN threw what I did eat up #so my family is now watching me like a hawk for low blood sugar m

[crippled-peeper]

if you, a person working with foods, tamper with someone’s food or knowingly mislabel food or serve food that you KNOW has allergens in it that you don’t disclose, you should get charged with attempted murder.

and if someone with allergies dies from going into shock after consuming it you should get charged with 2nd degree murder and go straight to fucking jail

allergies and intolerances aren’t a “haha funny lil stupid trend!!!” people with colitis and celiac disease can literally DEVELOP CANCER from consuming trigger foods. people with severe food allergies REGULARLY FUCKING DIE FROM ANAPHYLAXIS ACROSS THE COUNTRY from mislabeled and mis-advertised foods.

the only “joke” here is the fact so many people are allowed to put others lives in danger because they’re fucking lazy or incompetent or uneducated or think everyone with allergies is just being “picky” or “difficult”

If you can’t handle the responsibility of not feeding people allergens that can kill them, quit your fucking job. you don’t belong around ANYONES food.

talking to that guy from my primary was so funny bc we licherally bonded over hating my old school

#apparently he really hated it there. wild. i didnt even know #bc they didnt let him bring his own lunch and he has celiac disease so he got really sick for months on end 😭 #also background for the reason why he doesnt talk to anyone on the train is bc that group bullied him in yr 7 #which i can so see happening like they are definitely one of those. #also fuck that guy from my physics practical group for calling him an npc bc of that! hes actually really lovely when you talk to him.. #all the boys in my physics are definitely salty abt his height as well 💀 like they were making fun of him when he had to go to the board #bc hes so tall but you know they would give anything to be 6 foot 5 or however fucking tall he is. likw.

WIBTA For telling my partner I'd like to bring my ex into our relationship?

I'm copying this over from r/relationship_advice, because the responses are giving me the impression they don't really get what polyamory is & I'm hoping tumblr does. For reference: there's me (29M), my ex (28, Trans Man), and my partner (30M).

My ex and I were best friends in high school, went to the same college, & dated through the tail end of undergrad, for about a year and change. We ended things on very good terms, the only reason we broke up was a difference in life paths: I stayed in the city to get my Master's, he traveled constantly for his work (he's a sculptor who makes these huge custom multimedia pieces, they're genuinely some of the most beautiful things I've seen). We fell out of touch for the most part, but I'd see him popping up on social media occasionally, or he'd text me when he was in town and we'd hang out, along with some other school friends.

The last time I saw him before our present situation was about 3 1/2 years ago today. We went out for drinks, he came back to my place after, and we ended up hooking up. He stayed in town for about a week, and we hooked up a few more times, and then he left again. He sort of dropped off the face of the earth after that, but he'd always been pretty sporadic, especially when he had a big project, so I didn't think much about it.

Not long after that, I met my current partner. He's truly one of my favorite people in the whole world; he's incredibly thoughtful, and earnest, and passionate about his morals & principles (he's an environmental lawyer), and more than anything, he's someone I never feel like I have to pretend with. He asked for my number, we had our first date a few days later, and ended up staying awake the entire night just talking about anything and everything, so we went ahead and got 5am pancakes and called it our second date. We've been together for a little over 3 years now, we've been moved in together for about 2, and while we've had the occasional fight or rough patch I can definitely say I love this man, and I plan to spend the rest of my life with him.

So, the big change.

About a year ago (~2 years since seeing my ex, my partner and I have lived together for about a year at this point), my partner and I are having a night in, and there's a knock at the door. It's my ex, looking absolutely ragged, holding a 15 month old baby. As in, a baby who was conceived 24 months before then. Yep, it's pretty much what you're guessing. I let them both in, we had a sit down in the kitchen, and he told me everything he'd been doing in the past 2 years in between me cussing him out for keeping it all from me in the first place. I really do want to keep this as short as possible, so to give you the super condensed version:

She's my daughter, he's completely sure about that, there's no one else he's been with the math is even close to correct for

The second he found out he was pregnant, he more or less panicked. He's got a whole Thing about feeling like he's irresponsible/not a "real" adult, and this really set him off, so telling me felt like "admitting to fucking both our lives up" at the time. His OB/GYN said some pretty awful shit to him about not being more careful as a trans man too, which just made it all even worse

Because of all that, he'd genuinely planned to just never tell me I have a daughter & raise her completely on his own, but a few things compounded to force his hand:

The birth was really rough on him, and his recovery was slow enough he was having trouble going back to work, to the point where money was getting tight

On top of that, our daughter has celiac disease, and between paying out of pocket for blood tests & spending more on baby food she's safe to eat, things got desperate enough he went and took out a really dodgy loan from a scummy payday company

He was at our door because all of this had finally spiraled to a point where he'd lost his apartment, they'd been sleeping in his car for about a week, and he couldn't think of anything else to do

I think I was probably feeling every human emotion in existence at the same time through all of this, but the thing I remember most from the whole conversation was the way my partner kept drifting right back to the baby, and the soft way he looked at her. We put my ex & daughter up in a hotel room for the night and told him we needed to talk, and we'd discuss our options in the morning, but I think even then I kind of knew what our answer was going to be.

Sure enough, for the last year and a half we've been co-parenting our little girl, all three of us. We didn't want to juggle who's got her, or force my ex to find a place to stay, so we've turned my partner's home office into our daughter's room, and redid most of the downstairs layout so my ex could move into an actual bedroom, rather than just sleep on our pullout couch in perpetuity. We finally succeeded in convincing him that rest and recovery was more important than trying to contribute to the house finances right away, and it's been magical watching all that stress and terror slowly fall off him. It's like he's a little more alive again every time I look.

Which is where my question comes in.

I'd like to restate, I love my partner 100%. None of this changes that whatsoever. If I ask, and he says no, that will be the end of the discussion for me completely. But I have eyes. My ex is, objectively, a very attractive man. I know we work well together, and I have to admit I'm very curious to see where that same chemistry could lead now that he's not on the other side of the country half the time. I've also been noticing these little moments between him and my partner. Nothing I'd consider crossing a line, but I've caught my partner checking my ex out several times, as well as vice versa, and they get along remarkably well. Sometimes I'll go to enter a room, and see them both sitting there laughing and chatting and playing with our baby, and I'll just hang back to watch because it makes me so happy.

Add to all that, we're pretty deeply ingrained in each other's lives now. My partner and I don't often go out on dates alone anymore, but the last few times we did it felt as if my ex was missing from the table. We watched a movie together last night, and my ex sat in the middle of us with his feet in my partner's lap and his head on my chest, and it felt just as natural as my arm on my partner's shoulder. It's not about just having sex with him, and it's not that I'd want to invite any old person into our relationship. I know we already all love each other, and I think there's potential for that to become romantic between the two of us and my ex.

It just feels as though we're all holding our breath, waiting for someone else to say it first. My ex certainly isn't going to bring it up when he's living rent free in "our" home (it's his home too, but he doesn't seem to see it like that yet). My partner grew up sheltered enough that I'm not sure he's ever heard of polyamory at all, so he's not going to bring it up. That just leaves me.

My problem is, if I'm wrong about what I think I'm seeing, or if I bring it up the wrong way, I can't take it back. I don't want my partner to feel insecure or betrayed, I don't want my ex to feel pressured or put on the spot, and I definitely don't want my daughter to lose any of us, which I know could happen if we aren't all on the same page. Or worse, if we do all date and it goes badly.

Should I just keep this whole thing secret? Is that even worse? Would I be the asshole for opening this can of worms on everyone else?

Help!
