Cute hairstyles for homecoming for short hair

I can't believe I'm writing this. But I need some insight cause I find myself getting angry and confused. This is my first reddit post. Please excuse my redditor literacy.
This is the most convoluted story. It is long. But it's a ride.
You've been warned.
(Fake names obviously)
I (20f) have a best friend, Karl (20m) of 4 years. Now I see what you might assume. No. We're close but I'm mainly into women, I currently have a partner and have had a partner 90% of the time they where dating.
Now Karl got with Regina(19f) late 2022, the relationship started off rocky as she said "I only want you" but then kissed her ex, and then couldn't decide who she wanted. But still insisted once she chose Karl, she wanted to stay friends with her ex. Posted pictures when they'd "hang out" where it looked like she was sitting on his lap. But she swore she wasn't. Constantly blocked him after things would happen, then unblocked him, lied, then cried when Karl would find out.
Yes. Infuriating. But here you go. That's how Regina was introduced to our lives.
It took a while but eventually I tried to look past this. I care about Karl, if this was who he loved. We accepted it. Infact made it a point to invite her out to gatherings, made sure to offer her food, offer her drinks, chatting. Making sure she's involved. Gassing her up. Girlie things. (God I'm so desperate for everyone to love me it's a problem.)
Then her friends, ex boyfriend began to follow me, I had hoped this was because of how well I'd done to make friends. But this waa short lived.
Originally I'd just hoped it was banter. I'd chat to them, often sending pictures with Regina in her classes and joking with me.
Unfortunately I have social impairments, Slowly it became clear they where just laughing at me, calling me names but with cutesy emojis. Remember the girls in highschool? The ones thatd pretend to be your friend in class because it was funny? Like that.
So i stopped paying attention, often ignoring them. Unfortunately it only got worse. It got to a point I'd be spammed and have my instagram story replies with slurrs, calling me a pdf. File??? (I was talking to someone 6 years older than me?) Weird references, calling me cringe (I know. I know, worst thing ever right.), picking on my hair, my eyes(strabismus), my clothing. So I folded. Told Karl I wouldn't be dealing with it anymore. I'd blocked them, and asked karl To ask Regina to ask her friends to stop contacting me, I was doing my finishing project in college (uk) to get into university and it was getting to point I couldn't focus. I told him what had been happening, that I didn't know what her problem was. But I am a adult woman and this was bizarre.
Now, that alone. I forgave and in time, forgot. She had allegedly appologized "for them" and didn't know any of that was happening and had no I'll intent and hoped we could still be friends. Okay, sure.
Weird semi important point: she confessed in a groupchat that she used to be a 'chav' I said " you do look like someone who'd have bullied me" Banter. She then posted on her Instagram story (Paraphrased by memory) "When someone says you look like someone who'd have bullied them- but your friend died" I can't remember, but it was along the lines of that kind of 'what the fuck does that even mean'
Upon a later night of drinking, regina was talking to Karl about the ex, Mike. I brang up the fact her ex boyfriend kept liking my photos and was following me Hoping to bond over the fact this guy was weird, common girly bonding
"You know he only follows you so he could make fun of you and how cringe your posts are". She laughs.
The group goes quiet and holy shit I'm embarrassed. I just internalise that and change the subject.
Later I repost a reel of a guy saying something vaugely corresponding to this convosation. Basic premise when someone tells you their friend talks shit about you, then obviously you ask "why do they do that to you" (I know childish but at this point I was starting to really dislike her. My friend had sent it to me, It was late.) When i say She launched, "if you've got a problem talk to me instead of being weird and I'd tell you I was so scared of Mike and he held such a power over me and I just let him chat shit" I'd love to just mention this is after the 2nd time she'd unblocked him to talk to him behind Karl's back. I put up with it. Karl is at this point family. And if this is who he loves. We have to love her too.
This is all important to the point I swear.
Anyway.
My partners (now ex) friend Frank (22) and us fell out. Unimportant to this story but he let me know, Regina and an old very close friend had a groupchat to say very unpleasant things about me in, despite this old friend I never stopped speaking well of. Hoping we'd find eachother again. He'd been scouted when we had fallen out. But respected me enough to tell me. Another confrontation where she is so misunderstood and I'm making a big deal out of nothing and she's never ever had a problem with me.
Okay. Talked to Karl again. He is shocked but takes her word. As I'd kinda expect. Its his girlfriend. He took her to London over my birthday, he didn't want to ruin it. So he gave it up.
Karl throughout this is withdrawing from us. When he's with us it's like the light is gone from his eyes. He's distracted, quiet, doesn't laugh as much. Often tries to slip out of meetups because he'll "only bring you guys down". He's constantly picking up his phone. Constantly messaging. Cancelling plans. He won't talk to us. We where all worried.
Karl few months later calls me for advice. Turns out she kept getting caught in lies about her ex and general behaviours. Ignoring him for days again, threatening to game quit if she doesn't get the attention she wants. It'd all gotten so tiring that he didn't have any attraction to her anymore. He had no sex drive. He dreaded seeing her. But had to constantly message her. He's been feeling like this for months. Karl didn't want to leave her just before her birthday, he felt it cruel. But then it was the anniversary coming up. He didn't want to be responsible. He'd tried gifts, trips, anything just to make her happy. No matter what he did he still felt like nothing was enough. I managed to talk him through. About threatening suicide if someone wants to leave, is indeed abuse. He wasn't himself. How we felt and how we where worried. He got choked up. Not realizing anyone cared. He asked if he should leave. I asked if he was happy. "I can't imagine not having her there." Okay no. Not what I asked. Eventually he confessed He'd never felt lower. I said. Can you see yourself marrying her? No. Infact he said the thourght freaked him out. I said. Well. Why are you with her. Eventually it got to a point He left her. She said she'd been thinking about it. Yay? No 12 hours later he calls me saying its all fixed. Its all okay. How He's a horrible person for doing this to her. How it's him that needs to change. How he will spend a long time making this up to her. You know. I'm a domestic abuse survivor. But I never realized how much hearing that killed abit of my sould. Trying to convince Karl that he's worth anything is like trying to convince a deaf non signing American Conservative that the gays aren't trying to make him gay too.
They do eventually a few months later split. She says she wants to breakup as he "doesn't love her the way she wants him to" he is hurt but says okay. She then obviously realizes hey, he isn't gonna start begging on his knees. You can only hurt someone so much. She then asks "breakup sex" directly after and to this day its our favourite quote. But he says no, she asks for one more night, he says no you just broke up with me? Leave? She complains about not being able to get to the train station. Now. Karl didn't have his licence till a few weeks later. So queue the weirdest car ride with his DAD you've ever heard of. She cried. Hugged him. Begged him to reconsider. Karl officially has realized how disconnected he's become. Nah.
Queue a weird amount of messages ranging between "I'm sorry baby" to "I CANT BELIEVE YOURE GIVING UP ON US" and sexually charged messages, After karl finally blocks her. She begins to call him from various different numbers. Tries to get with his friends. Fails. Still calls him crying for the next 6 months. In which these events happen.
Frank from before. Now it turns out. While we don't have full timeline but either weirdly around the time they broke up they got /very/ close. To the point despite Frank having a partner. She was begging him to sleep with her. But Being weird with it. One minute she wants him. Next she doesn't. Basically, she loves the idea that she could have him. But doesn't want to keep any of them. Frank had a girlfriend. Goddess of a lady. Daisy. Regina proceeded to pick on every little thing to Frank about daisy she could. Always. Physical appearance.
Then. Now I am simply not making this up. after Frank separates himself from this situation. Regina begins to harrass Daisy, With telling Daisy about how much Frank's missing out on not shagging her instead.
And making 6 different instagram accounts to harrass them, and this is where I come in further.
Regina now, after the hate group chooses some last straws she can pull to drag him back. She makes a fake account. Goes to message Frank. With the opener of gossip about me and my partners sex life. I talked to Regina less times than I can Count on one hand.
The main one I'm aware of is "Did you know my partner drinks my names piss" Which I'm not here to kink shame; but this does not happen unfortunately but i still find it beautiful of a statement.
I one day due to some more harassment and more attention than I'm used to.
Decide to private my instagram. It was only for 24 hours in full so I could change some settings and archive some things. Within 15. An account. David, requests to follow. Strange. Cause my account is shadow banned and cannot be shown to non followers. I click. Heavens foretold dear friends. Regina's new boo. Id like to clarify. 2 weeks before Karl was still getting snotty teary calls telling him she misses him. Karl's friends where sending screenshots of Regina trying it on with them then getting snotty when she was rightfully laughed at.
I ask "hi??"
"Hi me and my girlfriend just wanted to stalk how cringe your posts are" I wish I could have been funny and not caught off guard. And shamed them. Oh god. I wish I had. Basically I told him, the gym is waiting. She will chew you up. Idk what I did but I'm sorry. Godamn. Leave me be. And they said "It's not that deep lighten up" I am indeed embarrassed.
But they kept mentioning my workplace. I am a bartender, and one day she did come in with a man, they seems very loved up but then again. It certainly wasn't this guy. then said bad things about me infront of a coworker. It was a little satisfying seeing her face fall and hit the table from shame as I was carrying an ice bucket past her. She was already cut off at this point for her antics.
David's best friends memepage now follows me. But has been the first out of 5 accounts not to say anything. I'm sure they think I don't know. David claimed I was lying in my encounter. I do wonder if I could flip the table entirely.
but I also wonder if she's just very mentally unwell. But it's been 1.5 years of this and I'm just abit knackered and pissed off.
I'm 20 feeling like a highschooler. But I'm working for a bipolar diagnosis and I have ADHD, the paranoia. Is driving me up the wall man. Like this woman knows enough of my details and she's spread where I work. She's been to my house. She has clearly gotten multiple people involves historically and despite me trying to apologise, it makes no difference.
If I knew what the issue was, I'd gauge it. But it's not knowing and not being told. But it's reassuring it's not just me. With daisy, I'm wondering if this is historic. Might be vanity? She (used to?) Post alot of ...suggestive photography and always wears a lingerie corset and heavy makeup, filters. Nothing wrong with that of course but she's a very sexually orientated person, and given the contexts to that behaviour. I wonder if its to cover some in depth issues. But that's just a theory. Part of feels hey, if she needs men to tell her that I am ugly, cringe and worth nothing. Then she van have that. The other half makes me want vengeance for the boy, prove that I'm not whatever she'd been making me out to be and make her realize she needs to change. But that's. abit pathetic innit.
Anyway I doubt anyones made it this far and if you have. Thank you for reading my story and the weirdness of it. I hope it hasn't been too shit. Just needed to get it off my chest. And maybe if anyone has anything to say.
TLDR: my best friends ex has always had an issue despite my efforts. Getting various people to harrass and bully me, She tried to get with his friends, other guys we knew and harrassing us all. All while still crying she misses him. Her new bf thinks I'm lying and is joining in, his best friend now follows me too. My partner allegedly drinks my piss <3

Dear Firestarter,
Something you said makes sense now. There was more than one girl because the one I remember did not have a "fat ass", but one time you let someone in to use the bathroom and I never saw her face but when I ran in afterward I saw the back of her, she was almost at the front door when I darted into the bathroom. That person had a fat ass and seemed to not even stand up straight. like as in not very attractive but with a fat ass. This person had short blonde hair and a hat and looked like the one in the photo you showed me where you were so proud and had your shirt off. I'm not sure which of them was the one who got pregnant now, but I don't care. Something happened when I improved you and you threw me under the bus after that. I'm still under that bus, and it seems I am stuck there and can't crawl out. As such:
I think it's coming to a point where we have to let this go.
I can't help you with anything related to the child you conceived with someone else. I shouldn't have to deal with him, but mostly I shouldn't have to deal with his mother or hear the sound of her voice. I could go on, but he's just an infant and it would be inappropriate to say anything further.
I am at a stage where I want to enjoy the bit of life I have left. I don't want to spend it like this. It's not fair to me, and if you want to continue down the path you created when you slept with someone WITHOUT BREAKING UP WITH ME FIRST, then that path does not mix with the path you and I were on as a couple. You have done something that is irreversible and it's just not fair to me.
At the same time, I don't want you to be unhappy.
We have to let it go.
It's not easy. but it has to be over, and we must get over it.
It's the right thing to do.
You need me, clearly, but that's not my problem. I have helped you enough and received nothing for it.
I don't know how to cope. I don't. I wanted to be with you forever and did everything I thought I had to do for that to happen but I was wrong somewhere I did something wrong and I can't fix it.
This isn't helping us.
Me coming here and posting isn't helping us.
We have to let it go.

I remember being 13 the first time I used a tape measure to measure out my face and head. I had measured my philtrum to be too long, my lips much too thin and mouth too small. My eyes were far too deep set and hooded. My nose was too small for my face to look balanced. Jaw too wide. A lot of me was and is too wide feeling. My head is big. I was a big baby too. Came out at 11 pounds. Even when smaller physically I can never get the feeling of taking up so much space. I feel like I encompass a room the way bulky furniture does. And it’s painful. Because I’d cry and cry and argue with my mom how I felt. How wrong I felt. And she’d cry and get so mad with me. That I was beautiful and I’m comparing myself to things that weren’t real but they are. Little things like I was not as beautiful as my friend in an objective way. And my hair is so thin and fine I didn’t even have the ability to hide any of it or even pretend. Couldn’t do cool hairstyles. Makeup still sits awkwardly on my face no matter how I try to improve. I do a 8 step skincare routine every night and still can’t get rid of the red patch of white heads on my nose. It was so effortless for some people. And for a long time I tried to make up for it by being the kind of person who complimented others as much as possible. Every nice thing I had to say was shared. But no one had nice things to say about me if it wasn’t about my ass. Even my own family. I am so uncomfortable in my body. I hate being touched or desired. I hate being looked at.
The worst part is how consumed by it I am. How vain I feel. How ugly I feel on the inside. No one will love me for my outside and the inside is just as unsightly. Sometimes I feel so completely and utterly disgusting. I have such a hard time making friends because I feel so deeply and painfully poorly about myself. I don’t discuss it with others. Few to no people know how deep my self hatred goes. But I wanted to be beautiful so so bad. Not ‘ you’re so beautiful to me’. I wanted to just be ‘you’re beautiful’. The kind of beautiful that someone would stop to tell me in the bathroom or my social awkwardness got to be cute instead of off putting. The kind where I didn’t have to know how my extended family talks about me behind my back. I want to cry pretty. I want someone to be gobsmacked by me. But it’s not a reality. I’m never going to get to be like psyche or Helena or Eurydice. And I wish it was over. I’m so tired of being consumed by this. So so so tired.

I want to be someone’s number one, ya know? I want someone to tell me I’m cute, I want someone who is as excited to see me as I am them. I’d like someone to see me, with all my flaws, my insecurities, my imperfections, my quirks… and say "I see so much worth in this."

Don’t worry if I don’t reply to your chat immediately, I’m probably just away from my device or asleep. I look forward to hearing from you, have a nice night!

I was gardening yesterday and working with my chickadees and chickaducks, when out of nowhere this absolutely beautiful butterfly appears and wouldn’t stop landing on my butt. Like fine, I get it, who wouldn’t give praise to a fine ass, but his focus was INTENSE.
However, I needed to drive to another chore and didn’t want to sit on him and kill him cause he was such a cute little butt worshipper. Instead, I tried to wave him away, but he kept on fighting to get back to that butt; even at the risk of death. Cant judge, we’ve all been there little guy.
Finally, I was able to get away by gently grabbing the tip of one wing, carefully carried him to a bush a little away and let him crawl on those flowers, while quietly tiptoeing back to the golf cart. I drove away, happy that I had saved a beautiful soul, and happy that my butt was finally safe from winged insects addicted to booty.
Boy, was I wrong.
Later that night, as I’m laying in bed with my shepherd, I feel something wiggling across my butt.. again. Anxiety start rising as my brain starts to image hundreds of little spiders running all over me. Bravely, I take a breath and grab whatever it is, bring my hand up and open it to find… a moth. Another winged insect that’s booty addicted. I let him go, he tried to find his way back to the booty, and eventually I give up and just take him back outside.
Long story short, I now believe myself to be a booty god in the eyes of winged insects, and it is a honor to be chosen for such a prestigious title. That said, if religion does as it usually does, expect global wars between butterflies and moths all focused around booty at some point I n the future.
Peace. I’m off to start the Cult of the Booty.

So I’ll try my best to make this as short as possible without sacrificing any important details.
I had a long haired Dalmatian that on paper, passed away from liver failure at the least. Possibly total organ failure but not 100% sure.
We took our dog to an animal hospital 45 minutes away because it was the only available place open at midnight.
He was showing signs of confusion, drooling, and lethargy after refusing to eat or drink anything the day of and the past three or four days prior to this day, he was having bouts of diarrhea and vomiting. The day we took him to the animal hospital was when we noticed he was showing signs of confusion, lethargy and drooling so we thought he was poisoned or something was seriously wrong.
Get him to the hospital and they do an x-ray and an ultrasound to check if there were any foreign objects in his stomach or intestines to rule out any immediate signs of poisoning from a foreign object. He was empty and only had water in his stomach so they decided to do the blood work next.
My girlfriend was the one that took him there and she was only in panic mode so she did not not care. Let alone know anything about the numbers. They were explaining to her after they got the bloodwork panel.
They did not run a tox screen. His liver enzymes were 700 for AST and ALT. I’m not sure 100% because I’m not a professional, but I’m pretty sure that this is an immediate sign of liver failure. Based on the research I did.
They gave him fluids and an IV bag as well as a liver pill on site. They then provided my girlfriend with the option to either keep him overnight or she can take him back home so that we can bring him to our local vet in the morning and save money.
The vet did not seem concerned at all and made my girlfriend think that either option was going to be OK, whether it was keeping him there or taking him home to save money at the local vet. His liver enzymes were clearly showing that he was liver failure, which draws my concern and ultimately this post.
I believe this was a complete and utter mistake on the vets part based on the bloodwork panel, showing that the dog was basically dying and needed immediate attention.
He ended up going unconscious overnight and when we realize he was unresponsive, we rushed him to our local vet where they were unable to save him, and he had to be put down. The vets at our local clinic were all in shock were all in shock at his liver enzymes because of how high they were, and were convinced to lean towards a serious poisoning.
There is no proof of what caused the liver failure, but I am here to ask you guys for any opinions on the first animal hospital we took him to.
Based on the liver enzymes on paper, I believe that is liver failure, which is stage four and is any immediate and urgent situation where the dog is considered to be in critical condition. Underneath the blood panel, there is notation from the doctor which is essentially his diagnosis based on the observations and recordings, and he stated simply liver disease. It should have been stated that it was stage four liver failure based on the numbers.
How on earth did the vets even give my girlfriend the option to leave at all instead of seriously, pushing her to keep our dog there because he is in a serious condition that needs to be treated immediately? She was never told how serious this situation was and never felt like it was an emergency situation based on how the vet was reacting to his bloodwork
Is there anything I can do? I seriously believe this is malpractice and there was a chance they could have saved our dog or at least given it a shot. I think this is extremely negligent and irresponsible on their part.
Hopefully you guys can give me some insight/closure/opinions on if we were handed the short end of the stick.

Platform: Mobile phone
Genre: visual novel/dating sim/otome
Estimated year of release: Between the 2000s (likely late 2000s) and mid-2010s. It appears to have been pulled from Google Play between the mid- and late-2010s since I can't find it.
Graphics/artstyle: Anime-like characters with fantasy influence. It wasn't super-duper cutesy anime; I remember the characters had somewhat small/narrow eyes and the backgrounds were very detailed and mostly in dark indoor castle environments, although there was a bright garden area + the title screen took place on a castle wall at sunset.
Notable characters: The protagonist is an unseen female who is guided by a male mage/wizard in a maroon robe and hat. He has pale or white hair and clutches a key on a necklace in all his sprites. I don't think the wizard guy was dateable. The two dateables are dragons in human form; one is a tall and muscular one with dark skin + hair and red clothing and the other is a short, lean one with light skin, orangey hair in a ponytail (or at least long) and orangey clothing. I think both the dragons were in tunics with low necks.
Notable gameplay mechanics: Not that I remember; pretty much a standard visual novel with intermittent choices. You can go for one of the two dragons but I remember them appearing together pretty often.
Other details: Most UI elements like textboxes, buttons, and choices were black with golden borders, text, and icons. You play as a girl who somehow ends up in this castle where the mage guy from above is keeping two dragons imprisoned in a dungeon in the basement (the dragons are in human form for some reason, don't remember why). The mage guy instructs you not to get close to them because they're dangerous, but I think the object of the game is to break them out of captivity. I remember scenes of helping the dragons swipe snacks from the kitchen or wandering the garden/greenhouse. The orangey dragon was one of those more playful, energetic types while the reddish dragon was more level-headed and series. The mage guy came off as a bit meek, very cautious even though I'm pretty sure he was a perfectly capable magic user.I played this as a kid in the mid-2010s but I've been thinking about it for a while because I don't remember ever finishing it? I don't think it had any paid elements, nor was it NSFW. It seemed a bit of an older release because of just generally the way it felt to play (the UI elements were quite small and straightforward, with little to no effects) but its release couldn't have been later than the mid-2010s.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2.5 years at this point. We did briefly break up for about a month and a half earlier this year but we both realized we wanted to be with each other. The reason we broke up, was because he ended up losing his job, and he went a week without speaking a word to me. Prior to this, I have noticed communication issues with him. There were multiple occurrences of me trying to get ahold of him without being able to reach him. And usually on days we had plans. He also tends to shut down when he’s having a rough day and it takes me calling him/texting him multiple times just to get a response. I was slowly starting to grow resentful of this. So, when he went a week without speaking to me, I just couldn’t be with him. And, I broke up with him.
I missed him terribly but was also focusing on myself and trying to heal myself from the relationship. Then, he called me 1.5 months later and we talked on the phone for 3 hours. I’m not going to lie, the words got to me. He apologized for the way he handled things. For going that long without speaking to me. He told me we are a team and we can get through anything together. So, I decided to give it another shot. And it was great. For almost 2 months, we were in absolute bliss. Communication was great, we hardly argued, I wasn’t feeling anxious about not hearing from him.
Then, last week, we had an argument. We had made plans to meet up in the city, get lunch and take cute photos throughout the city. It was his idea but I was really looking forward to it because we have never done anything like this. He texted me that morning saying we need to reschedule our time because he needed to take his sister to the ER. I didn’t know the reason why he had to take his sister so I wasn’t sure if it was serious or not. I responded saying “hope everything is okay, keep me updated”. And then I hadn’t heard from him all day. I called him, texted him and nothing asking for an update. He then updates me, 9 hours later that his sister fell and hit her head. I expressed my concern and wished for her speedy recovery. I then asked him to call me when he had chance. He calls, and we talked for about 10 minutes. He said sorry for not saying anything and that his phone was on silent and didn’t want to talk to anyone and that he couldn’t focus on anything else.
I’m not mad that he couldn’t meet up, obviously his sister is injured. It’s the communication. I had to take the day off of work so we could do this. Our work schedules never align because we work opposite schedules so this was the only option. When he was texting me later that night, I never brought up why I felt upset. I just asked him how his sister was doing, he said she’s doing better and I told him I was glad she was better. I’m not gonna lie, I was giving short responses and he sensed it and asked me if I was upset I could tell him. So, I did exactly what he asked. He apologized for wasting my day. Which I appreciated. And this is something I know I should have just let go because he was in an emergency situation. I think I was just so frustrated because this has happened numerous times in the past and he promised me communication would be the one thing he would work on. And, I specifically said this to him too because he asked me to tell him if I was upset. He took is as me being mad we couldn’t meet up and he basically said our plans matter more than his sister being in the hospital. Which, again was not the case.
We got into a pretty heated argument about this. So much miscommunication happened. He wasn’t understanding me and I wasn’t understanding him. I apologized to him about not being more understanding. He then said a few things that really bothered me. He said every time we have gotten into an argument before, he basically loses faith in our dating and his feelings for that person goes down. He also said it was up to me to keep the relationship going. That if I wanted to still date, that he has no problems with it but that our future is not guaranteed. I asked him what he meant by this and he basically said that looking back at the arguments we had, he doesn’t know if he would be able to take it to the next step (talking about marriage and whatnot).
We have gotten into arguments before and yes, it does get mentally draining. But, my feelings for him have never changed. And for him to basically leave it up to me to decide, to say our future isn’t guaranteed really upset me. He’s essentially telling me he will be okay if we break up. I can’t imagine not being with him. I feel afraid almost that if we get into another argument, he’ll say these things to me. I almost feel like I am walking on eggshells around him and I don’t want to live like that. And he’s telling me he can potentially take it to the next step only if we don’t argue or have disagreements and that’s an unrealistic expectation.
After this argument, we both took a few days to cool down. One of his friends from out of state came to visit and he asked me if I wanted to hang out with them both. So, we went out and had lunch and spent time in the city. And, he was being completely normal with me. He was being affectionate, holding my hand and hugging me and kissing me. Which is honestly not what I was expecting. I wasn’t expecting him to invite me out let alone be affectionate to me. I still wanted to talk to him about the situation. To be honest, I am not sure how to even talk to him and what to say. Sometimes I have a hard time articulating what I want to say which is why I want to get some advice. I also want to know if this is something worth saving, just based on what he said. I honestly don’t know what to do.

this is gonna be kind of a long post so bear with me, but i’m looking for advice or words of wisdom.
i’m currently 17, a junior in high school, though the year is ending in a few weeks. i’ve known i was trans since i was like 13. i know that all my friends and (hopefully) my family will be supportive and i feel like most of my school will be too. i go to a public school in california with about 1500 students.
i originally wanted to come out during the summer and start the next school year socially transitioned. however, i am a 2 sport athlete and don’t feel comfortable being out during my sports. they will be finished around march, so i was planning on coming out then. however im not sure if this is a good plan or not because the school year will be almost over by then, but i want to transition before college starts so i can hopefully start t before then.
i currently dress masc, have short hair, the whole nine yards. i would probably fully pass if it weren’t for my voice. people don’t have anything to say about the way i dress and some of my classmates even thought i was a cis guy before people corrected them. 🤣🤣
so basically i’m wondering if it’s a bad idea to come out in the middle of senior year or if i should just wait, but i want to start t before college. if anyone could give me any advice or share their experiences it would be greatly appreciated.

I am from the US and will be visiting for a few days… I was hoping to get a balayage done in Shanghai (or is balayage hairstyles more of a US thing and the hairstylists won’t know how to do it?) Where I live in the US, a balayage hairstyle runs about $600. How much would hairstylists charge in China for this?
Please share the best hair salon recs in Shanghai. Specifically, I will be staying in Huangpu.
Thank you!!

One day I was playing FIFA 23 career mode as a manager. I had made a lot of progress, turning a previously amateur team into an almost unstoppable one. I was only on my third season when this happened.
I was getting ready for the next game when I decided to change some of the roles. I changed the captain, but then I looked at who was taking the short free kicks. Their name came up as "undefined", no capital letters. I clicked it, and then my game froze on an extremely glitched screen.
The word "DEF", which means defense was scattered across the screen, with some of the player info in random spots. I looked in the top left corner, and saw what looked to be a custom player who was white and had blonde hair, with the name "undefined". My game crashed immediately after.
I reopened the game and opened to the last save of my career mode journey. It had deleted some of my saves and set me all the way back to the first season. I went to check if this happened to other people, but then something caught my eye.
Career mode stars is a website that I used to find good players to sign, and I vividly remember going to a page to find some good midfielders on season two. I never went active on the site after, but also never closed it after. I came across it on my way to check Reddit. Instead of the page with the midfielders, it showed a page I had went to on season one. This was really weird, but I am not sure if this was just a coincidence or I am just remembering wrong.
I checked Reddit, and other people have encountered this issue but never had an experience as wild as this. Before I started my manager career my game was extremely laggy, and even some of my keys occasionally stopped working. But after the saves were deleted, it went back to normal, even seemed like it was less laggy than I had ever seen. If you know anything about this, please let me know.

My beautiful eight-year-old cat has what I think is aural hematoma. Vet also thinks this as conveyed over the phone after hearing description. She thinks this is likely due to her cardio meds (blood thinners). Vet told me to check gums for speckling and/or paleness. As gums appear to be a normal color, she said I could wait for 2 days for my cat to be seen (first possible opening). The swelling proceeded to sag toward her cheek and then her neck (same side as hematoma) throughout the late afternoon and evening. Now she kind of looks like she has a goiter around her neck, and although her ear is still swollen and hot to the touch, the ear is not sagging as much. It’s almost as if the fluid/ blood in her ear drained slowly towards the chin.
This is where opinions are needed. Do I haul my ass(and kittty’s ear) to the emergency veterinary clinic, or do I wait until Thursday late afternoon to get kitty seen by her regula primary vet?
All opinions and advice are valued. Thanks in advance.
Other info: domestic short hair, supposedly part Siamese. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy diagnosed around Feb/March of this year, preceded by blood clot. Clot was resolved within 3-4 days by blood thinners. Currently on various heart related medications. Liver values elevated so had been tapering off of one of the blood thinners. Aside from this current acute incident and the blood clot, she is a playful, affectionate, athletic cat with a strong appetite. Outwardly she is the picture of health.

Please bare with me as this will be a long one, it's my first ever post on reddit.
TW of child loss.
I (32f) my FH (35m) are getting married august this year. We live in Australia in a different state to both sides of our family. As we thought instead of picking between the two states we are from, we will have it where we are now.
History as I know all you lot love the background stories. We met in 2019, through tinder(in the state we currently both are atm). It was love at first sight for me. I already had a son who in 2019 was 8yo. My son adorned my partner, he would talk about future siblings and us getting married. Which led my partner n I picking wedding songs and talking about marriage. In 2021 my partner n I were a bit rocky. But my world came crashing apart when I got a phone call my son passed in a car crash. I flew back to my home state and well as you can imagine I was a mess. My family which I hadn't spoken to in 4 years due to being accused for something I did not do. They found out I didn't. But long story short I was in the head space to nit pick. My sons funeral happened and well I just got left by all my siblings to do the clean up my self while they went to the after do. I missed it. I'm only one person and I got blamed and made to feel like crap for it. And a lot other shit. In other words three of my siblings are arseholes. If they dont get their way. My sister we'll call her Petal(24), brothers Steve (31) n Bob (27).
My partner n I always stayed in contact but we spilt as he was still in the state we met. His boss wouldn't let him take time off etc. In the beginning 2023 I came back to the state to organise my sons stuff. Realising this man kept everything of his and mine in the same spot. He still looked after my cat n dog after all that time also. We rekindled and both realised the flame was always still there for each other. So by September last year we were ready to move forward with life as short as it is announce to our family's save the dates. Via Txt as we both have huge families, we would save the money this way.
A few weeks go by. I get a phone call from Steve. (Whom I havent spoken to since before coming up here as I had enough of always being cancelled on or never picking up my calls or barely responding to my texts) So I was like why am I getting a call. Turns out I just got questions after questions... well statements 'you never asked me to move' 'mum will be staying with me not you on your wedding' 'im not babysitting joey' youngest brother 12yo we I stated he would be other brother Dale (second youngest 21- they are all my siblings from my mother's side) as they are always together when Dale visits. I just focused on the positive. I knew he was wanting me to bite. Then when I was explaining joey would be walking behind my nieces with my sons photo Steve interrupted when are you getting married and laughed. He then said no, His daughter wasn't going to be wearing a dress she'll be wearing the same as her dad... and laughed. at the beginning of his save the date I put 'Aunty would love niece to be a flower girl if she would like' Remember no contact since this phone call at all. So I thought he was joking as he laughed. He then started repeating she was wearing the same as him. He also asked why would joey be following them and as I was explaining what I was thinking as my son would've wanted his cousins up there with him. I got cut off. I just planned all this and I said no I asked and you never responded. You never said no even when I spoke about the dresses. Apparently I just don't know what no sounds like and I've not changed and she is HIS flower girl for when him and his partner get married. I understand wanting your child to be apart of your wedding.... hence why I was trying to do what I know damn sure my boy would have done - to the point if they weren't in the party he would walk up to them n get them to help throw petal down the isle. I was upset. He rambled on and yelled shit at me and hung up when I said well if you didn't want her being a flower girl you could've just said it straight out.
I am still upset but I'm only upset due to he only brought it up when I was talking about what my son would want. If he had a problem with it why didn't he say it before hand. Later mum(51) found out him n his partner were upset I was getting married before them ( they have been engaged since 2021 and no mention of a wedding date) and they didn't want their daughter being someone else's flower girl before hand. Which again I understand so why not say that instead of starting the shit?
The next day Bob decided to tell me he couldn't come to the wedding as he doesn't know what his life would bring him to be doing then 🤦🏼‍♀️
Anyway I start to move forward with wedding planning . I let a friend know, as i was going to ask her to be a Bm. After saying getting married she bloody laughed so hard like i told the most funniest joke ever.... her daughter came in she is still laughing n said ' can you believe they are getting married' while wiping away tears from her eyes she laughed so hard. So I decided not to mention the bm part. She later started telling me what I should do for colours, who the bms should be, that the best man wears something different to the groomsmen. Etc. It was getting out of hand and everytime I mentioned we had decided what we are doing already is was wrong .... until she decided to make a competition with my unaware mother 'she better wear a dress or ill look better then her. Maybe even you' so I cut her out of my social group, my partner still thinks she was just helping. He needs the fog to clear.
I ask my best friend who I have known since 2017 and who was still there for me through the hard time of my son passing and still is to this day. Kel(43f) to be my MOH. My two sisters Petal n Kay(28f on father's side) as bridesmaids. As iTs tHe rIgHt tHiNg to do 🤦🏼‍♀️ at first I thought petal would flake first. If it's not her way she'll make some sort of version (even if it's LIES) that you did her wrong. I picked the dresses they were more then happy to pay for them. $160 ish each(aus). Well Kay went Mia for a few weeks. Then in January this year asked me if the place accepted afterpay. I said I know they accept Kalana or what ever its called. N then she was busting her arse for me to check.... she had the website I asked if she had her flights and accommodation prebooked. Nothing. As I was going to offer to pay for the dress if she was struggling. So I offered for her to come as a guest. 2 weeks NOT A SINGLE WORD. Not answering my calls or texts that wasn't even about the wedding. Its now Feb. I ask my cousin to be a back BM she was more then happy n as I was on the phone to her Kay said ' im getting a job so it'll be all sorted' now Kay is a sister who will take advantage for other people's hand outs. Where we are the closer to august you leave it your looking at 1600 n back minimum. N the week we are getting married not only with it be tourist session but race day also ( we forgot about race day 😅) After explaining this to her she decided with many more weeks in between she'll not come to the wedding at all.
So then it was my BF, petal and cousin.
Two weeks ago I got asked by my fathers (he is a dead beat) sister if he was invited. Long story short, I'm the child he never wanted. He never met my son at all while he was alive and loves to cause drama when it's not about him. He was a junkie when I first met him. So I politely said sorry no he is not and sorry for putting you in this position.
Just up until last week petal flaked. Family drama was happening and I pulled her up on her lies she had put in a group chat. She hadn't spoken to me since May. She would read the wedding chat but not respond. And I found out she had me on mute. Laste week I messaged her on the group chat, our private chat and text her can you aleast let me know whats going on. She came back with ' im not coming nor will I be in your wedding' I thanked her for letting me know. Went in the group chat for the wedding n she had already removed herself. N I blocked her shortly after my mum called. Mum had asked if I had heard from Petal. I told her what happened. Well, mum Being a mum was like 'ill get to the bottom of this' She asked why are you not part of the wedding anymore. My sister turned n said its not of your business. N then said I blocked her from the chat a while ago and I have not once messaged her n I'm mean. Mum caught her out n said she seen her lil picture keep up with the messaged just today etc. N she just banged on how no one understands her. So I blocked her.
I have now asked for my partners Sister to be a bm and she's more then happy to and I paid for her dress straight away so it should arrive to her before she is due to come up.
I found out in April my son will finally be a older brother like he always wanted. This is a miracle baby as I've had a few health problems with my uterus. To the point doctors said I might not even be able to do IVF. My partner n I are over the moon. I am in a a place where I'm happy and upset because my son is not here to witness what he always wanted. We have only told those that have been supportive, mu mum Dale and joey and my Sil.
All the stress of just my family has taken its toll. We have already paid majority of the wedding off and can't elope. I've lost all happiness for our day. I'm scared my father will rock up (he is spiteful like that) n im just deflated. With the add stress of being now 12weeks pregnant and still worried I could lose it at any point.
I have gotten all their jewellery, personalised pjs since Kay was involved. Personalised gifts and im paying for their hair and make up.
Kel my Moh is ready to go on a witch hunt. She's pissed that I have let it all go on for so long. So I'm trying to see if I am in the right or if I am in the wrong.
Am I being the Arsehole ? Bridezilla? Just feels no matter what happens in my life it's not good enough. If anything needs clearing up please let me know. Sorry for the long post. Thankyou in advance And if anyone has any advice ? Thankyou

I started shaving my head or cutting it very short in my twenties. I mainly do it because it's low maintance and cheap. I've always been an athlete so it's much easier to deal with.
When I started doing it people said I looked scary. Before I had longer hair and I looked like a soft nerd.
I've been in retail my whole life. I'm in my thirties now. People definitely treat you differently due to your apperance. It seems if they think you're scared or weak they'll verbally abuse you or try to take advantage of you.
If I let my hair grow out for a month I notice people are more likely to be shitty to me. Then I shave it and I don't have any more problems.

Cute game and not bad for $3.19. It's pretty short. Gab Smoulders did a playthru on her channel.

I wanted to preface this by saying this occurred 7-8 years ago, when I was a sophomore in high school, and im a much different person now and not proud of who I was. Even so, the events of that semester haunt me even today, to the point that it occasionally keeps me up at night, I feel like if I get some impartial judgement on the situation I may be able to resolve some of the lingering grief. I feel like all things considered my actions were justified, but of course you will always be the protagonist fighting off the antagonists in your own story.
So it started in February 2017. I entered into an alternative high school program in my county designed to give students who couldn't otherwise function in normal schools a second chance. I had missed a few weeks due to a hospitalization earlier that year, and while my teachers had been lenient, I was having a difficult time catching back up and it was decided by my school counselors that I would be an excellent candidate for transfer.
It started off really well, I immediately was making new friends, I felt refreshed and hopeful about my new school, I really liked all my teachers, things finally felt right for the first time in awhile. Then I met a boy who i'll call "T", he was pretty cool, easy to talk to, very friendly, overall welcoming and we became friends right off the bat. I decided to get involved in extracurriculars, and T was part of the schools forensics club, which I had an interest in, so I joined up. On the trip we exchanged phone numbers, and ended up flirting over text over the next couple weeks. Eventually he asked me out and I accepted, this is where it started going downhill.
I figured dating this guy meant we would spend more time together, so we could really get to know each other, I was mistaken. I asked him to eat lunch with me, he wasn't interested, he wouldn't walk me to class or really interact with me outside of the classroom and texting. On top of this I learned some information about him over text that I will still not share because this story is still recognizable by those involved but lets just say it was a major turn off for me, I ended the relationship quickly. After that "J" and "A" his two female besties, quickly entered the scene to make my life a living hell. The initial accusation was that I led T on, and that I was trying to control him by forcing him to eat lunch with me, the truth is, I just wanted something different than what he was offering. I even told him we could still be friends. Meanwhile I was in my promiscuous phase and had many non serious flings and sugar daddy's and whatnot, this was just a run of the mill whelp that didn't work out moment for me, I was ready to move on immediately. They were not.
Rumors quickly spread about me, about me being a slut, apparently I was a prostitute and everyone seemed to know except me, and honestly I was unbothered by this. The prostitute thing was untrue, though I absolutely accepted gifts from people I talked to online, and I kinda was a slut, to be fair, so, not exactly the reputation I wanted but things could be much worse. I still had my friends, and I poured myself into my studies and ignited a love for STEM that I still have today.
Then one by one my friends disappeared. I would see them talking with A or J or one of their misc. associates. I was confused, because I hadn't done anything to them. I tried to talk to them, but I was blocked or laughed at, the more I was mocked and ridiculed the less confident about that whole thing I became. It wasn't just my current friends though, A kept tabs on who I was trying to befriend and snatched them up before I could clear the air. This happened with a couple people, but one in particular really hurt, i'll come back to him in a bit. I still had my best friend "M" who I had known years prior to coming to the school, she stuck around the longest, but eventually she started dating a guy from that clique, I was completely alone.
Meanwhile I was getting sneered at and laughed at, and whispered about, I would see girls I didn't know except through association with A and J who would point at me when they thought I couldn't see, and they'd lean into their friends to quitely gossip behind their hands. I tried not to see it, I found myself staring at the floor a lot.
I ended up talking to A and J and asking them to stop, I told them they were being immature (which in hindsight fanned the flames) there was no ceasefire. I ended up going to the school counselor who basically told us to be nice and did nothing to help. I talked to her 1 to 1 and explained the situation and she shrugged it off. I was growing increasingly desperate for support I wasn't receiving. I started to notice an impact to my grades, I was depressed, I couldn't focus, I was randomly tearful. I started eating lunch in a random corridor away from my peers. I wish I could have disappeared completely.
Then one day a boy transferred in from another school, a teacher asked for a volunteer to give him a tour of the building, I was chosen. His name was S. Talking to him was like a breath of fresh air, we hit it off quickly, I was so relieved to finally made a friend. We connected over history, he was a nerd like me and funny too. I went home that day and cried joyful tears, I was so excited to see him again the next day in first period, and when I walked into the room and saw A, J and him sitting together, my stomach hit the floor, we made eye contact and he just frowned and shook his head. I went to my desk and just put my head down and cried. At this point I didn't care if I was seen or not. This is the one that really got me.
A few weeks passed by, I was quietly working in biology class and I heard a dude call my name across the room, he said "OP, "D" thinks your cute!" and the group of guys laughed, I motioned the guy over, and gave him my number, I didn't have any interest in dating the guy but I really really wanted someone to talk to me. It wasn't even two hours before he was hitting it off with A.
At lunch time I went to a different counselor, one who showed more empathy to my situation. She told me I could stay in her office the rest of the day. 4th period came around and I was reeling in my head, I felt like I was a cornered animal, I was desperate for something to change. When she stepped out for a meeting I marched myself up to Spanish class, Which I shared with A, J, T, and S. I cracked the door and asked if I could speak with A in the hallway. I had the perfect speech planned, I had rehearsed a million times, that teacher said no. I told her it was incredibly important, she told me no and to get out. I looked at her, I looked at A, I stepped toward her and before I knew it she had a fist full of my hair, she was hitting me in the head while J grabbed my arms, I broke free and shoved J hard, and started punching A back but couldn't gather the momentum to do any damage as she still had my hair. The teacher who was 6 months pregnant tried to step in, I was so disoriented I shoved her away with my elbow. A male teacher came in and pulled us apart. I looked around at several cameras, faces of disgust. Sam looked at me and said "what the fuck is wrong with you?" I took my bags, and ran out into the hallway, down the stairs and was almost out of the building when the principal stopped me. I was suspended for a week.
My mom picked me up and I told her everything. We decided I would be withdrawn and I would be homeschooled the rest of high school. I eventually got my GED. I mellowed out, met my husband, and now we have a sweet baby boy. For some reason though, my heart can't handle what happened, even still it plays on a loop in my head. Everything I never got to say is still in my throat and has been since that day. Im hoping sharing this will finally put all that to rest. I want to move on, truly.
AITA?

Yo, I’m a girl with 4c short hair and an undercut so I’m a little scared to get starter looks bc I'm dubious it will work well and look right with my hair texture, length, and undercut lol. What kind of locs (if there even r different kind of locs) should I get for my hair? Is there anything I should mention to my stylist? Should I even lock my hair lol? The reason I want to get locs in the first place is bc locs r sexy and don’t seem that hard to maintain and bc im tired I’m re-doing my hair continuously and damaging it. Ur help is appreciated
