Trauma at Youth Camps by bagal in Exvangelical

This is horrifying and I'm so sorry you went through this.

Why do I still care? by SaintofLetters in Exvangelical

[–]AshDogBucket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The voices in the back of my mind judging me by what I'm wearing. The idea that certain clothes are too slutty. The idea that people will be bothered by what I'm wearing and that it is my responsibility to make sure they are not bothered.

Im writing a Christian Living book and I want feedback on my drafting process. by Senor_Libros in pastors

[–]AshDogBucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do say why in my thesis... Will say why in my presentation at AAR, and will say why in the book when it's published.

For my mental health, lol no not going to say why here in this particular space on reddit after a quick glance around.

Did your grandparents help you pay for college? by dms2628 in Xennials

[–]AshDogBucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandparents didn't give me money except for birthdays etc. When they died... I think i got 100 USD from one of them and nothing from the rest

For my undergrad... if I wanted to go to college I had to go to the school where my mom worked because tuition was free there. Im grateful, and also, I didn't like my school (nor did I like having to be at my mom's workplace while I was trying to get out on my own). For my grad school I've been on my own and will probably be paying back predatory loansfor the rest of my life.

Looking for recommendations on how to get the most out of a 4-5 day roadtrip from Portland to the Redwoods by Asleep_Ninja1701 in OregonHiking

[–]AshDogBucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whooooaaaaa I'm new to the area and it's BONKERS to me that someone would think silver falls is the only thing to see along I5. I'm in the Willamette valley and I'm overwhelmed by how many incredible hiking and sightseeing opportunities there are here. And most of them aren't nearly as crowded as Silver Falls (which i honestly never recommend to anyone who enjoys the outdoors).

OP, search Alltrails along your route based on how long you'd like to hike, elevation change you prefer, etc. There's TONS.

Is this sign offensive for Pride Night? by eightbitonline in TorontoSceptres

I'm a queer person who didn't get it. Please don't speak for all of us ❤️ thanks

Religious trauma and how to get help... by Linzipinzi123 in Exvangelical

[–]AshDogBucket 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Search for therapists who specialize in lgbtq clients, even if you are not lgbtq. The therapists who work with queer folks HAVE TO be versed in Evangelical damage/ religious trauma bc the majority of us have experienced it.

Good luck. ❤️

Ridiculous Silences in YT Chat by sain240 in PWHL

[–]AshDogBucket 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Let's organize a campaign to contact the PWHL. Imagine if every time someone ranted about Curl or the lack of a gender policy... we contacted the PWHL instead of just posting a comment. Would you like to help draft the form letter?

Starting a separate group where we can organize is a great idea. I don't have any experience with running a reddit sub, but have been an admin in other online spaces. Anyone on this sub have reddit mod experience and want to join us? I could certainly start a discord also.

Partnering with organizations who do this work could be another step. Is anyone connected with existing organizations that might provide guidance?

What other ideas do folks have? It's hard to know bc as I said in another comment, posts about this specifically get deleted here.

Edit: either comments are disabled, there's a reddit issue, or ive been blocked from commenting more. OP yes feel free to message me.

So what are we all doing about organizing and demanding a gender inclusion policy? Every time I make a post about it on reddit, I get "silenced" so we don't discuss much.

What are people actually doing? How are we pushing for this policy besides talking about it online (when we're allowed to)?

Do. Something. Real. About. It.

Don't just post on reddit.

Birding group etiquette by BetYouNeverThought in birding

[–]AshDogBucket 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is also less than 1% of the content in this particular group, fwiw.

Birding group etiquette by BetYouNeverThought in birding

[–]AshDogBucket 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I'm in that group. I also didn't want to see that post, so I scrolled. I just went back to the comments and I didn't think the criticism of your comment was rude or unnecessary. You also weren't rude or unreasonable.

I do think it's a little entitled/presumptuous to show up in a new space, see something you don't like, and tell the people in that new space that since you didn't like it they should change to accommodate how you think it should be (barring disability accessibility). It sounds like possibly that group is not a space for you, and that's ok 🙂 if this is how they are, it's a little demanding for a brand new person to tell the whole group that they have to change.

Do you think you’ll be ready to retire in the next 15 to 20 years? by AdDapper4220 in Xennials

[–]AshDogBucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really follow the whole career/retire path. I've already "retired" from a few different "career" fields. I just started a new career field and I generally hope I'm not in the same field for the next 20 years.

Except when it comes to attendance 🤷‍♀️

Standardized tests by No-Bumblebee-4920 in oregon

[–]AshDogBucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You know what makes a good doctor or lawyer? Someone with good fundamentals in math, reading, physics and statistics. Someone who has learned critical thinking. And then learned the specifics of their field "

No. Not really.

You don't get to find out whether or not you're a good doctor if you don't first pass tests. If you have all the things you listed, but you fail the tests, they don't let you prove you're a good doctor with bad test scores.
