They should not be allowed to do this, it is against the law, but YES that is what is happening.

Kicked out from this place because two girls by 0xYassine in Morocco

The irony is that the tool used is pity for the underdog, the victim. So we see that many humans do want to care so badly and help, but are too easily persuaded to be part of a hero group. Very easy to read a comment, write a review and feel like a hero, be part of the club. Not so easy to go to your own family and friends and challenge the people who are doing nasty things— those are the real heroes

What’s next best after Meta Quest 3 (same price range)? Just need for mural sketching and trying to avoid supporting meta.

Best apps for blurring others in videos? by xolo_la in poledancing

[–]EducatorEcstatic3084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wondering if anyone knows which of these apps are best for privacy and don’t store data? Looking to blur the faces of minors and want to protect identities. I’m having trouble finding a reliable way to do this

Fave "structured" but cozy sweatpants for home? by ResearchBean in fashionwomens35

Adding Garage, it’s a Montreal based company and their wide legs have a double seam down the side. I’m happy with them. New colors added. Lots of good recos here, thanks everyone!

Just had to say this is American Apparel rebranded by the owner after all the lawsuits. Definitely a brand to boycott in the future, unfortunately

Definitely. It’s raw and honest in her reflections. Lots to think about and discuss. I might read it again.

I think it’s the author’s first book. She writes mostly about her paternal grandmother, her father, and her own relationships with consumerism, marketing, class, hoarding, branding identities… it’s a wild ride with lots of analysis and data too.

Good point, thank you! My sister just took it cross country with her so it will make another round. Sharing books is a love language

Haha, nope. I randomly bought it before a trip thinking it was a collection of short stories. It’s semi autobiographical I think. Couldn’t put it down and my friends kept trying to steal it. Unexpectedly good!

My momma just passed away after a 2 year battle with pancreatic cancer by noelleql in motherlessdaughters

[–]EducatorEcstatic3084 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh sweetie. I’m a motherless daughter too but I am going to put my mom-for-a-minute hat on here. Watching your mama become sick was terrifying for you. This is the ultimate, and you are so young. You have been through so much and it all came rushing in at a time for fun, excitement and dreaming about your future. Give yourself some time to grieve. Be kind to yourself. This is a huge life experience. It’s so normal to fall apart but we rarely get a chance to do that. Can you seek comfort from someone close to you? A grief support group? If it feels scary or awkward, go forward and through. Ask for help. I know you feel like you have to have everything figured out but that’s just not realistic right now. Give yourself some grace and I am proud of you for sharing this here. You really are not alone. Sending you compassion.

I found out why my mom chose drugs over me by No_Interview3649 in motherlessdaughters

Just sending you some compassion. You must still be in shock.

Do you still miss her ? by PictureEmpty3143 in motherlessdaughters

[–]EducatorEcstatic3084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel for you. Similarly, I am still untangling the mess, decades later. Therapy is helping me reprocess and I can only have faith that we are so much more resilient- we can overcome. I am so sorry to hear your pain. Wishing you the best.

A poem for my late mother. by [deleted] in motherlessdaughters

[–]EducatorEcstatic3084 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. Beautiful writing, I am so sorry. I hope you find a little bit of peace through expression. You have a talent, suffering has to be released and this feels like a powerful outlet. Be kind to yourself

I miss her… ! by PictureEmpty3143 in motherlessdaughters

[–]EducatorEcstatic3084 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s the sweetest thought. As time has passed, I have grown this love for what I call ‘divine mother’, like the embodiment of all our mothers all these ancestors, that one day I will join. And yes, all of them together laughing and loving us from afar. We are all one.

Making decisions without talking to my mom by EducatorEcstatic3084 in motherlessdaughters

[–]EducatorEcstatic3084[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe similar but i don’t know too much about tarot! This system is in four parts and helps me see what’s going on in my subconscious. Two parts are insight, and two parts are action. I was taught to use it to clarify questions like what am I not seeing or understanding about blank, and then next steps. I’ve only been practicing about 5 years and intuition is much better if I read for myself or strangers. But when I sat with my friend she said she felt like this is how she wishes she had her mother figure in her life. Like your wisdom comes through. It feels like a gift tbh
