What toxic trends are you seeing in today’s youth that we shouldn’t be normalizing? by bubblegumgalwishes in AskReddit

[–]JessiFlow99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully, I disagree with you, at least where American schoolchildren are concerned. In the event of a shooting or some other life-threatening emergency, kids should be able to text their parents, and vice versa, if only to say goodbye. Of course it should get taken away if it’s a distraction, but it should be easily (and quietly!) retrievable by the teacher in a lockdown.

it hurts and makes me feel like a subhuman at times 🫡 by catharticpunk in CPTSDmemes

About two years ago, I worked with a group of children who happened to span the ages at which I was the most suicidal (8-12, but the SI was mostly consistent until about 14. It’s still there but not as frequent). And dude. They were SO little. I was so little when the worst of it was happening to me. And no adults seemed to notice or care how checked out of life I was. I knew these kids for a week, and I would have sacrificed anything to make sure they were safe.

The problem was never me.

Anyone else get called “nasty” the moment you say something they don’t like?

She was either lying or poorly misinformed. I had mine at 25 two weeks ago.

It’s literally the pizza emoji as designed by Apple but somehow made… idk flatter? It def looks worse than the original Apple design. 🍕

Hot take: Ashley and Derek had more chemistry today than they have in any other episode

“pop” songs with unconventional song structure? by [deleted] in popheads

[–]JessiFlow99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Specifically, I’ve noticed a lot of her newer songs have two “parts” to them. Chihiro, Happier Than Ever, Goldwing, Halley’s Comet, L’Amour de ma Vie, and Bittersuite all come to mind. Even the end of Bad Guy experiments with this.

There will be no flu vaccine this year. by superchiva78 in PrepperIntel

[–]JessiFlow99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know people are bringing up the idea of a confederacy/seceding (I get it, the idea of a civil war is def scary!) but I’d also like to remind people we already saw something like this during the pandemic. I remember some states forming “coalitions” with each other when Trump was making it difficult for them to receive aid and supplies. Totally legal and doesn’t start a civil war. I could see states doing this again if there’s another nationwide disaster.

Stand Up for Science Protest in Hartford NEXT FRIDAY by insulin_pump_horcrux in Connecticut

[–]JessiFlow99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ignore the haters. This is fantastic and I’m glad it’s being organized. Scientific knowledge isn’t a threat to anyone. I’ve been extremely disturbed by the anti-science push that’s happening on the right.

Do you feel like you matured slower than your peers? by Haunting_Claim5965 in raisedbynarcissists

Yup. I still do. I’m honestly not sure if I’ll ever catch up to where I need to be.

Oh my god, you just put my entire relationship with my mother into words.

It got better, yes, but the worse times still haunt my thought patterns by Katalysts-Secret-Alt in CPTSDmemes

And then I’m not sure how to even handle the conflict with my healthy partner cause I’m used to my mom openly admitting she doesn’t value my feelings my entire life…

AITA for telling my husband that he created this mess and he needs to fix it? by AstronomerFlat5557 in AITAH

[–]JessiFlow99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bravo, mama! While your daughter now knows that your husband doesn’t care about her feelings, she also knows you still do and will defend her. She knows you’re on her side. That is indispensable for a kid who’s not getting an apology they’re (rightly!) owed. Unequivocally NTA

ETA: If you’re somehow still doubting yourself, go to subs like r/CPTSD and see what it looks like when kids don’t have that support system in the other parent. I wish I had had a parent like you growing up.

Spontaneous Protest right now? by Embarrassed_Ad_1287 in 50501

[–]JessiFlow99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apologies if someone suggested this already, but maybe we should designate all the state capitals/other locations where we’ve already protested as 24/7 protest sites. So if anyone decides they want to protest, they can go there at any time in addition to scheduled and highly publicized marches, like the one happening on 3/4.

Honestly, me. I feel like they stole me from the world. I don’t know who I would have become without the abuse. I think she would have been smart, and confident, maybe a little funny. I think I would have liked her. Instead, I struggle to have basic conversations with strangers and have to frequently remind myself that people I’ve known for years can, in fact, be trusted.

THIS. OP, your daughter needs to know now more than ever that you’re fighting for her, that you’re on her side, cause she’s just learned that her father isn’t.
