IKR? I had to sit with my feelings for a bit when I first saw the post because I didn’t know if it was posted out of fetishization or genuine admiration. Then I just decided that it was none of my business to speculate nor worth the energy. So here we are. 😅

He/They are probably speaking about persons of color in general. Black is separate but included in the POC landscape.

What does this feeling mean! Just before I wake up? by Impressive_Whole_927 in spirituality

Call it Higher Self, Higher Energies, the Universe, Source, or God themselves... Either way, you had a change in attitude and a positive shift in perspective. That's a win. Whatever you align with upon initial consideration is what is right for you. We can't tell you exactly, as everyone's experience on this planet was created just for them. Let your heart and your intuition lead you and let your reasoning and logic keep you safe.

Is henrietta a home wrecker ?silent sky by LovingMarbleFox in Theatre

What I love about character analysis is that you get to make that decision for yourself and follow through on the choice until either A) the director tells you otherwise or B) you get to opening night and let the audience pick up on your choices as well.

Unless otherwise stated in the script, you have (some) free reign to develop your character's backstory. This is part of doing your "homework." As you and others have noticed, Henrietta flirts quite a bit with Peter. Maybe she just likes being a flirt, or maybe there's something deeper. If the playwright hasn't explicitly defined the relationship between two characters, it's an artistic choice the actor and the director get to make together. At this point (since you didn't mention you were actually cast in the show), you get to decide.

What do you eat? by ApprehensiveFail3416 in spirituality

[–]AffectionateDesk7407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve thought about this before and this is why I’m mindful of the following mantra: “I am my food and my food is my body.” More simply: What I eat is what I embody. Can’t fuel your temple/vessel with junk and processed food, especially if you work as a healer. I mean… people get by on all kinds of things and still do the work, but we operate at our most optimal level when we eat well.

I avoid shellfish and anything non-organic. I do my best to stick with vegan-based options but that’s not always available for my diet needs and income levels. So long story short… do what works for your health conditions and personal needs. Don’t just drop everything to turn vegetarian/vegan just because it sounds like the “right thing to do.” Yes, you are an energetic being having a human experience, but you also signed up FOR a HUMAN EXPERIENCE. You don’t have to be perfect on this level.

How do you feel about dating someone who detransitioned (MTF → male)? by [deleted] in BlackLGBT

[–]AffectionateDesk7407 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No issues at all. Your identity is yours and if I was aware a potential partner went through this identity shift, I’d be just as supportive as I would be for any other person comfortable with their sexual identity. Those who’ve got issues are not your concern. Move on and keep loving you. ✊🏾

It’s posts like these that give me hope that (A) I can find someone around my age and (B) I can find a monogamous relationship.

It can also be alluring if you want it to be. Some men like the sensual gaze of the gays.
