The worst pain (including resources)
2024.05.21 17:41 littlegreenwillow The worst pain (including resources)
I helped my precious girl end her pain yesterday and I’m really struggling to cope. About a month ago, she started limping and holding her paw up. After a month of tests and things only getting worse, she was diagnosed with Feline Lung-Digit Syndrome which is a rare and very aggressive form of lung cancer that first presents as swollen and painful paws.
We made the heartbreaking decision to help her die with dignity. As a mental health professional with a history of complex PTSD, I’m no stranger to pain and loss, but this is the most painful loss I’ve ever experienced and it has truly rocked my world. I simultaneously feel like I can’t move but also like I need to crawl out of my skin. As many of you would agree, our pets are our family. We are their entire world and they are also an integral part of ours. I don’t have close bonds with a lot of humans, and she taught me so much about connection, unconditional love, and loving myself.
I’m realizing as I scroll through this thread and sob with you all, we as a society do not talk about or validate pet loss enough. I want you to know that if you are grieving the loss of a beloved soulmate, whatever you are feeling is real and important and deserves to be felt. Everyone’s grief journey is different so I encourage you (and myself) to be gentle and patient with yourself, no matter who you have lost or how long it has been.
If anyone is interested, I have found a few helpful and validating resources:

I know this is a long post, but I would love to share a eulogy that I wrote for my girl. I have also attached pictures if interested. Thank you all for sharing your hearts and your stories. I’m feeling it with you.

To my sweet Eva
My baby muffin. My little lovebug. My beautiful baby girl.
When we first met, you went by the name Mrs. Weasley. You were just a little thing who had just had a couple of kittens of your own. You were residing in a room at the humane society with a bunch of other kitties. The moment I sat down, you hopped up in my lap, gazed up at me with those big blue-green eyes, and I knew you were the one. We brought you home and gave you the name Eva Marie. You quickly got to work as a professional biscuit baker, always making sure that we had fresh baked goods, even when your sharp claws made them a little spicy. As good of a baker as you were, you were an even better snuggler. You had the softest fur and the hardest headbutts I had ever felt. Your purr could be heard from across the room. You loved everyone you met, even the folks who poked and prodded you at the vet. You became a big sister when we brought your doggy brother home but you made sure we all knew that you were still the queen of the house. You loved to play with your toys but your most favorite was trash. You gave your papa and your brother baths because no matter how well they cleaned themselves, they were forever your stinky boys. You were an indoor kitty, kind of afraid of actually being outdoors, but curious enough to lounge in the window and watch the birds. I hope that your sweet soul is free and part of all the flowers and grass and trees and stars, soaking up all the sunshine you could ask for.
We loved you so hard and you loved us right back. I wouldn’t trade the time we had together for anything in the world. Thank you for blessing us with your beautiful life.

2024.05.21 17:41 Thick-Order7348 Just a thought
Reading so many interesting stories here, I think the thing that most surprised me is the regular billings that Shoppers Drug Mart gets. It’s a regular, very predictable source of cash flow for Roblaws, and while I don’t have an experience getting prescriptions from Shoppers Drug Mart, going by the prices on regular meds it must be overpriced.
I think people who have regular meds prescribed from there, who can move easily (your health matters) should try and move to your local pharmacy and hopefully you’ll save money along the way.
To share an experience, I had to get some meds for my daughter and the Shoppers employees took so long and were so rude, just to tell me that they didn’t have the medicine in stock. I went to my local pharmacy, they filled my order, and the kind lady at the counter even told me that if I show my daughters OHIP card, most of the cost of the medicine is covered.
Go local!

Hi everyone,
I recently created a website that helps people find co-founders for their SaaS. You can publish your project and get in touch with skilled professionals who want to get involved in new projects.
Currently, two users have already posted their projects and are actively looking for co-founders (one in the jewellery industry and the other is a surveys as code platform). These projects are promising and could be a great opportunity for someone with the right skills and passion.
If you're interested, take a look at founduo.com
My goal of helping people connect with each other will be fulfilled if the right partnerships are formed and successful collaborations emerge.

A group of would-be robbers left a bodega empty-handed after their “simulated” gun was met at the counter by an employee with a knife, surveillance video shows. https://reddit.com/link/1cxatti/video/4b2mul6dus1d1/player The NYPD released dramatic surveillance video from inside a bodega in the Heights. On the video, four men dressed in dark clothing walked into the bodega at 4380 Broadway at around 6 pm on April 20. The video shows the main suspect pull out an object in his hand that was wrapped in a plastic bag. The robber claimed it was a gun and demanded money. The video further goes on to show a 53-year-old employee walk up to the counter with a very large knife. The worker’s body and face are blurred out but the knife is seen being held up in defense of the worker and waved before he runs off camera. Surprised, the would-be robbers then run out of the store empty-handed. Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at [1-800-577-TIPS](tel:1-800-577-TIPS) (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips. All calls are strictly confidential. |

2024.05.21 17:35 FerrymanOfNight [Re-Intro] Micah Di Santis - Never challenge Death to a pillow fight!
Unless you are ready to handle the reaper cushions.
appearance
description: Micah is a fairly restrained person when it comes to clothes. Usually, he'd only grab a long-sleeved shirt and some jeans, feeling content. Most of his clothing is fairly average, what with them being of all sorts of muted colors and sorts of clothing. He isn't used to expressing himself whether it is though clothing or other methods.
equipment:
* – modmailed / custom
b) Shadow Camouflage; From a fairly young age, Micah wasn't much of a social butterfly. Most of the time, he felt most comfortable in a shadowy nook where the lines of his body would be broken by shadows, using the ability unconsciously. After his near-death experience, Micah became more aware of his ability to hide in shadows and learned to use it more effectively than before.
c) Shadow Travel\;* After an unknowably long amount of time spent in Hades, Micah's father, Charon, was aligned with the underworld to which he led the souls of the dead. Similarly, Micah has inherited the ability to travel through shadows in short or long-range teleports.
b) Death Buff\;* Being a servant of the God of the Dead, it only makes sense that Charon would draw his own power from his master. As such, Micah has inherited a trait where he becomes stronger when around children of other deities of death, such as Hades, Melinoe, Zagreus, the Oneiroi, etc.
c) Aura of the Harbinger\;* Being a multifaceted deity, Charon passed down his multifacetedness in the form of an aura ability. Micah has the ability to project an aura with two opposite effects that work on separate targets. A calming effect affects any spirits within the aura while an imposing effect like that of Children of Hades affects living beings within the aura's range.
personality
Micah is about as quiet as you'd expect from a Chthonic kid. That isn't to say that he is particularly serious or brooding, in fact, even when he's upset, he rarely does either. He mainly remains silent because he isn't particularly talented at talking. His reactions to most things tend to be a bit muted unless something is especially funny or angering. Any of the kids that liked him or trusted him in Sicily did so because they understood that when it was needed, Micah would talk as much as was needed and would do what needed to be done to keep everyone safe.
Fatal Flaw; Vengefulness
backstory
Micah's past year at camp had been simultaneously the most relaxing and confusing year of his life. There had been a unfamiliarity that Micah had with anything to do with relaxation or really anything but working that had slowly melted away. He'd made friends and discovered passions that might have otherwise gone ignored for the rest of his life (Art was definitely one of those).
So, when school started to take over his time, Micah barely gave it any thought, settling back into his old work mentality, though now focused on mental instead of physical labor. Before he knew it, it was summer, school was out, and he was back at the start, not knowing how to get himself to relax.
now
Micah stared at the ground around the Range target blankly, the celestial bronze knives scattered around it refracting light. He was jolted out of his mental haze when a camper a few rows down yelled at him for standing in front of the target for so long. Quickly finishing up gathering his throwing knives, Micah slotted them into his bandolier and left the Range.
For a while, he just walked, until he reached the pier. Boats had been a constant of Micah's life before coming to camp and when he was really out of it or off his rocker, the son of Charon liked to settle at the camp pier and imagine what sort of sea vessel he'd design for himself. Aesthetics might not have mattered to everyone but to Micah, they did. The ship would have to look as good as it sailed.
Now, he fell onto his back in the sand a few meters from the pier and stared up at the sky. Barely any clouds. Gods that was boring.

|---|---|---|---|
| divine parent | Charon, The Ferryman | old | Micah still has no idea what to think about his dad. Speaking with him during the visit to Olympus did nothing to clear things up. The man, or was it immortal, was blunt and yet, his son's opinion of him was still up in the air, though leaning more to the positive side. At least Micah has the connections to get himself an admittedly fantastic tailored suit. |
| mortal parent | ??? | ??? | Micah has no idea who his biological mother is. The only reason he knew who his father was before he came to camp was because the spirits told him. |
| mortal adoptive parent | Maria Di Santis | 32 years old | If Marco was a saint then Maria was a saintess through and through. Everything she did, she did with someone else in mind. From the day she adopted Micah to the moment Marco died, Micah did not see her cry for herself at all. She'd cry when a little boy got hurt and would offer help or cry when she saw a cat get kicked by some drunk douchebag. |
| mortal adoptive parent | Vincino (Vinny) Bertelli | 37 years old | Vincino is an absurdly rich man who was born and raised in Sicily. He found Maira through her singing on the side of the road to raise money for Micah's trip to the US. He offered to take her in because he liked her and sponsored Micah's trip by giving him some money and a ticket onto a transatlantic cruise ship headed to New York City. All things considered, he's a kind and considerate man who loves Maria. |
| adoptive brother | Marco Di Santis | Marco Di Santis was a saint. Ever since he learned the word 'kindness', he was absorbed and defined by it. He loved seeing the smiles bloom on people's faces when he shared some bread or helped them with something but what he truly loved more than anything else was sailing and playing the piano. He was handsome beyond reason, having pale blonde hair and clear blue eyes, though he never had a chance to grow into it fully. | |
| dead guy | Chris | Like Marco, Chris is one big ball of sunshine. The only difference is he's a ghost. Micah met Chris on the cruise he stowed away on to get to the US and the ghost promptly joined him, though reluctantly because he was watching over his parents and little brother, due to finding him interesting. Like Marco, Chris is handsome though he had more time to grow into his looks. Framed by golden hair and chocolate brown eyes, Micah wouldn't have doubted it if the boy was very popular during his living days. | |
| friend | Willow 'Will' Crest | 16 years old | One of the more laid-back campers Micah had met, Willow became something of a friend to the son of Charon, though they started off more as discussion partners than anything else. And besides, being chill-buddies is pretty fun on its own. Who knows where things can go from there? |
| friend | Rachel 'Rocky' Williams | 17 years old | Rocky was one of the first people Micah met upon arriving at camp and her enthusiasm, uncharacteristic for a child of a chthonic god, immediately made her stand out. Though he genuinely has no idea what goes through Rocky's head, Micah considers them close, and okay, maybe he has a minuscule crush on her. |
| friend/former cabin-mate | Ramona Herrera | 16 years old | Being another camper who met Micah's criteria for friendship (i.e. Be chill and relax), Ramona is someone who Micah doesn't know too much about. Much like Kit, who Micah has seen around camp and the Hermes Cabin, she is a mystery to him. Though he does enjoy trying to spot which corner she's hiding in at any given camp gathering. |
| acquaintance (?) | Mathew Knight | 15 years old | Matt is, as far as friendship is concerned, a work-in-progress. Micah's father had recommended getting to know the son of Hades and though he'd lost himself in school shortly after, Micah had made introductions. |

equipment:
- Folding Knife; The cleaver-shaped folding knife was a present from his brother and Micah has taken to using it for almost everything in his day to day. When his mother fell ill after Marco's death, Micah had to scrub the docks, cut rope to secure the boats, and even got to work on some boats during outings for extra cash. The knife became like a lifeline, being used for everything he had to do.
- Bead Necklace; Micah has been at camp for a year now.
- Monster Directory; Over the years, Micah has seen one or two monsters in their undisguised forms and has taken to keeping note of them by drawing them in as great a detail as he can remember in a separate notebook from the rest of his drawings while also making notes of tactics that worked against them.
- Sketchbook; Ever since he started drawing, Micah has had a good amount of sketchbooks, most of which he donated to orphanages in Sicily for the little kids to enjoy the drawings if they weren't destroyed by seawater or other kids. After he donated his last one with a few pages blank at the end, he got himself a new book, this one being leather-bound and practically a blank slate. He's glad to have an abundance of space to draw as his story unfolds.
- Art Supplies; A good amount of colored and uncolored pencils, all in different states of use, either dull or sharp, long or short, and an eraser in a dark brown leather box.
- Satchel; The over-the-shoulder bag Micah carries around with all of his items. It's nothing special, just an olive green bag with a good amount of compartments and space.
- Throwing Knife Bandolier; Micah's choice of weapon, the bandolier he carries is easy to hide under civilian clothes, fast to access, and easy to use. The knives are of standard make and easily replaceable with others from the armory, though Micah tends to clean and sharpen them himself after each use.
* – modmailed / custom
godrent domain powers:a) Dead Communication; Ever since his close brush with death, Micah's powers surged. His father's connection to spirits and those who have died became his and as such he can now see and communicate with the spirits of the dead. They have been his only source of information on his father. He likes to build a network of spirits whenever he goes somewhere new so he can gather information as fast as possible.
b) Shadow Camouflage; From a fairly young age, Micah wasn't much of a social butterfly. Most of the time, he felt most comfortable in a shadowy nook where the lines of his body would be broken by shadows, using the ability unconsciously. After his near-death experience, Micah became more aware of his ability to hide in shadows and learned to use it more effectively than before.
c) Shadow Travel\;* After an unknowably long amount of time spent in Hades, Micah's father, Charon, was aligned with the underworld to which he led the souls of the dead. Similarly, Micah has inherited the ability to travel through shadows in short or long-range teleports.
godrent minor powers:a) River Step\;* The connection with the River Styx flows through Micah's veins as much as it does through his father's. The ability this connection granted him was the ability to walk on water, as long as there is no significant shift to the water, such as large waves.
b) Death Buff\;* Being a servant of the God of the Dead, it only makes sense that Charon would draw his own power from his master. As such, Micah has inherited a trait where he becomes stronger when around children of other deities of death, such as Hades, Melinoe, Zagreus, the Oneiroi, etc.
c) Aura of the Harbinger\;* Being a multifaceted deity, Charon passed down his multifacetedness in the form of an aura ability. Micah has the ability to project an aura with two opposite effects that work on separate targets. A calming effect affects any spirits within the aura while an imposing effect like that of Children of Hades affects living beings within the aura's range.
godrent major powers:a) Major Watercraft Manipulation\;* Being known as the Ferryman of the Dead, it only makes sense for Charon, and Micah by extension, to have dominion over watercraft. Micah's control over watercraft was one of the first powers he discovered and the power that is most intertwined with him in his entirety. He has inherited the ability to gain absolute control over any and all watercraft down to the rigging and ropes.
skillsetOver the years, Micah has picked up a good variety of skills, including fishing and rope work. Still, there have been a great many learning experiences for the boy on the streets of Sicily. Free running came as a given to any child of below-average means in Sicily but Micah was significantly worse than most thanks to a leg injury he got at the age of thirteen. Drawing was the only real luxury he had during his time when he wasn't working. A young lady from a carnival that was passing through taught him how to use throwing knives after he helped her find her way around the city. He learned ballet by watching, sitting for hours outside a studio every day for weeks until he'd gotten good enough to practice independently, which led to his interest in gymnastics. One of the older neighborhood boys took to teaching Micah, his brother, and the other kids how to read and write in English. Micah's adoptive mother insisted on teaching him how to speak English from a young age. Now, he can speak English with a barely noticeable Sicilian accent.

2024.05.21 17:29 Warm-Raccoon-5530 Struggling with respect from supervisors and fellow CSM’s
I’ve been working as a CSM at a relatively new company. When I started out I was really excited and the team seemed great.
A few months in this all changed. I became the only CSM taking clients for months. There was a short period, when we had a ton of new contracts, where I gained over 50+ new clients while all of my coworkers were maintaining the clients they had, while not being at their “client cap”. I am also the only employee that has totally new clients vs inheriting half a client load that have been with the company for 1+ years.
This all caught up to me when I became very sick unexpectedly and had to miss several days of work. I was in the hospital. With so many new clients, the unexpected time away made me fall a little behind. Luckily I was able to get back on track in under two weeks. No clients lost, no campaigns affected.
Since then, I have been treated so poorly and honestly like I’m stupid. I was denied a raise a few months back for having questions about the new processes they implemented after I was trained with the old practices (they hadn’t updated our process docs so there was nothing to reference, so asking was the only solution). I have more credentials and experience than my coworkers and supervisors. It seems like they don’t like me at a personal level— very condescending or catty remarks made towards me all the time.
My supervisor made a comment recently that I’m finally able to work solo….which is so far from the truth. This comment was also made after getting the company multiple great reviews & training new team members. I have not experienced this with other companies and it’s causing major burnout. I have started looking for a new job, but with the intense competition, I’m assuming I will have to deal with this for a while.
Is this common in the CSM world? I just want basic respect from my coworkers and superiors.

2024.05.21 17:28 dirtynaders420 Crush on my coworker ’F30’, did I ‘M 32’ miss my opportunity or was a missing reading signs?
A little background on everything. I work at a bank so there’s only 12 employees. This new woman transferred about 3 months ago and I wasn’t interested in her at first. After a week she started coming over to my desk a few times a day with little questions or just to sit and chit chat. The chit chat quickly turned into the flirty teasing and banter between coworkers. Every time I’d walk to the printer or copier she would make eye contact and give a big smiles or a little cute look. We related being close in age while all of our other coworkers are +/- 10 years from us, her birthday is 3 days before mine both being in May. The more we talked the more I liked her but I was told by others that she did have a boyfriend. So about 2 months ago I helped her open a new account and as I’m opening the account we’re talking, I tell her this I am diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, I have a son that’s 2 and half, and that me and his mother broke up a few years ago. Fast forward about a week later she tells me she’s going to a walk that benefits my disease and asked if I would want to attend or if I think any of our coworkers would be interested as a group. I told her I wouldn’t expect people to go to a walk for me but I may be interested and I would let her know. A week later she ask about my plans for the weekend to which I tell her I’m with my son this weekend, and he’s always my #1 priority. About two weeks later she’s telling me about new shelves she’s getting and installing over the weekend and that she’s probably going to be doing it herself, while just looking at me. At this point I’m thinking she’s hinting that she wants me to help her but I’m also saying that if she has a boyfriend will this be awkward, so I didn’t say anything. The following Monday I asked how were the shelves and as she’s showing me pictures she’s says she got her boyfriend to help. Now I’m thinking ok she has a boyfriend she’s probably just very nice, so I started to suppress any feelings at had. So I chose not to go the benefit walk because it would’ve felt weird with her having a boyfriend. We still had a little banter and flirting but tried to keep it professional, especially if she has a boyfriend. Since then she will still lock eyes with me as I go to the printer and give me smiles and the cute look, but when I try to talk to her there’s something wrong or she’ll look at her phone. After all this another coworker told me that she is single. This weekend was her birthday and I texted her and wished a happy birthday and we joked about her only turning 22. We’re both off for our birthdays, with mine be this week I felt like asking her to hangout but I’m not sure if it’s smart. Was there anything there or was a miss reading signs, and if there was did I miss my opportunity?

2024.05.21 17:28 YEET_THE_VOTE NLRB judge rules in favor of Capital Roots
Just received this email. Doesn’t look like it’s hit the news yet, but reading through the case, it’s a pretty big deal that nearly every major accusation was dismissed by an NLRB judge. Lots of people here were jumping onto canceling this org, but I’ve had nothing short of a great experience talking with their current staff in the gardens and market.
*Andrew,
First, and always, thank you for all you do to help Capital Roots advance our mission of nourishing healthy communities.
We are very pleased to share that an NLRB judge has ruled strongly in our favor in matters of dispute between Capital Roots and the union that briefly represented our non-management employees. Key parts of the ruling affirmed our decision to withdraw recognition of the union, as requested by our team after they had second thoughts, and that the termination of employees and other actions taken by Capital Roots did not violate the National Labor Relations Act.
We are deeply grateful to all the volunteers, donors and other supporters who have been so instrumental in our growth and success, particularly as we endured the recent turbulence. I could not be prouder of what we have accomplished, opening our Good Food Market, Incubator Kitchen and expanded Food Hub; welcoming a number of outstanding additions to our team; and, most importantly, continuing to deliver access to fresh foods to our neighbors who need us.
A copy of the judge’s ruling is posted on our website, here.*
