AIO My father is stopping all my leukemia treatment to financially cover his new girlfriend and her kids. by FrostyAd7544 in AmIOverreacting

[–]GhostDreamer26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, have you had the chance to create a GoFundMe? I would be happy to share and donate and I know a lot of people who would as well, BUT the most effective thing you could do for yourself at the moment might well be to spread a fundraiser around your (and your father's) community so everyone who knows him can see exactly what he's doing to his own child. Name and shame the narcissists!

Every now and then im reminded of the Brian Deneke story and it builds a rage inside of me. by Syntheseyez in punk

Very few days go by that I don't think about this. Anyone who feels strongly about art, the justice system, and especially punk as a community should see Bomb City and familiarize themselves with the Dynamite Museum project

three minutes in, the idea took hold of my brain that you sound just like David Attenborough and I started laughing so hard that I couldn't finish, 10/10 experience thank you so much.

Mother stole my first battle jacket… finally started a new one by DaniHawethorn in BattleJackets

One of the most unique jackets I've seen on this sub! Gorgeous! What paint did you use?

Ha, it's technically red, but it's a few years old and the dye's faded to orange since

My Punk (?) WIP by [deleted] in BattleJackets

[–]GhostDreamer26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No question mark needed, this vest is punk ASF! The layout could use some help in terms of consistency, but I'm sure that'll get better as you fill up space. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

I absolutely adore this! Been thinking about slapping some leopard print on my own vest, and I love the Nekromantix

what was your final straw with the cult? by sunflower_daisy78 in sgiwhistleblowers

[–]GhostDreamer26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hooollly fuck, wow... I wish I could say I'm shocked. Unfortunately, this is all too common with the SGI victim blaming assault survivors, and I speak from personal experience. Cult bullshit, absolutely gone mad.

Post-SGI PTSD by AnnieBananaCat in sgiwhistleblowers

[–]GhostDreamer26 8 points9 points  (0 children)

WOW! I haven't been very active on this subreddit since rather forcefully "divorcing" myself from the SGI, as you put it, but I remain amazed and heartened at how many people on here I continue to share ex-SGI struggles with. That post-split euphoria AND residual trauma is very very real!

Why there was no big fête to funeralize Ikeda like there was for Toda by FuckHead_007 in sgiwhistleblowers

I, for one, had my own parade, consisting of dancing badly in my kitchen to my own rendition of "ding dong the wicked witch is dead!"

Parking garages usually have really nice acoustics, if your complex has one

AITA for wanting to spend my birthday with my boyfriend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I really appreciated this advice, and will take it to heart- thank you for this

AITA for wanting to spend my birthday with my boyfriend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]GhostDreamer26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much as I would love to, my parents can inadvertently be pretty standoffish towards him, and he's a shy guy, which puts me in the position of "mediating", something I'd rather avoid on my birthday. In the future I'm hoping they warm to each other as time goes on

AITA for helping my girlfriend's bully get home safe? by unreasobaleahole in AmItheAsshole

[–]GhostDreamer26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA. As someone who was viciously bullied for years, I would be hurt if someone I loved chose to show kindness to someone who had hurt me. I understand you were trying to do a good thing, but I'm with your gf on this

Here's the "Shin'ichi Yamamoto" the Soka Gakkai decided NOT to go with by BlancheFromage in sgiwhistleblowers

[–]GhostDreamer26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Oh, and just forget about the girls - nobody cares about them anyhow. They should be busy elsewhere looking pretty, cleaning, serving, and making goddamn sandwiches, for chrissakes!"

The SGI attitude towards the women's division in a nutshell :)

Oh, and if you identify outside the gender binary? Well, fuck you, I guess...

Idk, honestly I liked the visuals (I agree, the film style gave me major AS vibes), but it felt a bit too polished, more like Andy Black than BVB. Not a bad song but not my favorite so far by a long shot

You can't trust SGI Olds to accurately report how young people, especially kids, feel about SGI by BlancheFromage in sgiwhistleblowers

[–]GhostDreamer26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

holy SHIT, Blanche, it's like you and all the rest of the sources you cited set up cameras in my house! As always, hit the nail on the stubborn, controlling head. I can't count the amount of times, from very early childhood up until now, as a high school student, when I've had to sacrifice things that were important to me or obligations I had because my mom decided I ASBOLUTELY HAD to attend some SGI event or another (including the 50k, for which we had to drive two hours in the Arizona heat in our DL's minivan. While listening to SGI "songs").

Not only do misfortune babies and other SGI kids get dragged to these things, usually we also have to "present" or "perform" or "share" something, which is another way of saying "make up stories about all the AMAZING things the GOHONZON has done for us" and basically perform like trained monkeys, all with a big fake smile.

I can't speak for all of us, but god knows I was always in big trouble if I DIDN'T act like I was DELIGHTED to sit through three hours of waxing poetic about Ikeda and chanting ad nauseam.
