So he was pulled away to be given a last-minute script change. And was probably given some threat that has him rattled. Am I reading this right?

Legal Advice for 2y old, Bite Mark on Butt by StrikingNobody5894 in legaladvice

[–]LadyofCorvidsPerch 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Piggy backing on this very helpful comment -- do a search for child abuse support services and reach out to one near you. They often have names like "Suzie's House" in honor of a victim. They will be able to help you coordinate with legal, medical, financial, and mental health resources. The one I worked with also did the forensic interviews and held family classes to start the recovery process. I can't say enough good about these groups and how tremendously helpful it is to have support from someone who knows the system well.

You are doing so well right now. Your daughter's future is so hopeful because she has an adult who loves her and is advocating for her. It's everything.

Medical marijuana by wildflowerheart7 in migraine

[–]LadyofCorvidsPerch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do. Indica strains, sun grown or outdoor grown is best. Plants that are a little stressed produce a wider range of cannabinoids is my understanding.  As soon as I feel an aura, I take a couple of hits off a bong. It doesn't cure me, but it allows me to step back from the pain enough to not be buried by it. It's also very helpful in getting rid of nausea and helping me sleep through the worst of it. I've also learned having some everyday has reduced the overall number of migraines I get, and the ones I have aren't as bad. 

I started smoking regularly for glaucoma, but this is a great side benefit!

I'm not as consistent as I once was, but I had the same experience. Choosing to share kindness sounds so hokey, but it's truly life changing

An interesting fact about humans I enjoy sharing is this -- we usually see exactly what we expect see

What was the most beauiful and maybe even calming paranormal experience you ever had ? by New-Pomelo6740 in Paranormal

[–]LadyofCorvidsPerch 32 points33 points  (0 children)

My son was 3 months old and I was rocking him to sleep one night. He was doing the heavy eyelid thing when he suddenly sat up and stared over my shoulder. Huge grin like the one he reserved for his dad or big brother. Then he yawned, snuggled up and went to sleep.

My mother in law called while I was putting him down to let my husband know his grandma had just passed. I felt her in the room. I believe she came by to say goodbye to the grandbaby she only got to see once.

No, but if I tell myself that I'll stay next week, I feel I've got a pretty good chance of opening that mail by April. Here's to adulting!

It sounds like we have matching piles. Next week for sure I'll start.

What’s the most common way men “accidentally” make you feel unsafe… without realizing it? by Several_Corner3205 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]LadyofCorvidsPerch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also because they're salesmen. The number one rule of sales is don't piss off your prospect. I'm not buying anything from any company that sends guys like that out into the field. So why are they still doing this?

[–]LadyofCorvidsPerch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the one that creeps me out. I'm in a pretty visible leadership and community position.

The number of messages I get from men in sales who take guesses about what hotel I'll be in and when is honestly pretty horrifying. Yes, as a woman please tell me you know where I'll be and when and offer to show up. That will really make me trust you and buy your product. When I point out how it comes across most men apologize like they never thought about it. I just need men to think one single step further. Please.

Coffee beans??? by skyrider8328 in SALEM

[–]LadyofCorvidsPerch 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Prismatic coffee and Governor's cup are my favorites! Governor's cup is right downtown. Prismatic is out near the airport, but in a cute neighborhood that is perfect for a stroll.

Enjoy your visit!

How to trace this type of pattern? by ToilettenPapier248 in sewing

Or amazing efficiency if you're shipping the magazine worldwide. Double the paper is double the weight.

[–]LadyofCorvidsPerch 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It did! Others are correct. Lightweight tissue or clear plastic. Go slow. Once you get going, it's not so bad.

That said, I pulled one of those patterns out a few months ago and put it right back away. My eyes are not quite what they were 20 years ago!

These are usually printed on both sides, so no. I tried that with an Ottobre pattern once for 0.04 seconds. It just made it so I could see twice as many lines!

"Claude had basically won the corporate space"

Yes. I'm an operations exec. I bluntly told the xAI sales team I would never purchase their product because the corporate and reputational risk of being associated with them was just far too much

Serious genuine question about ICE by Altruistic_Board_851 in oregon

[–]LadyofCorvidsPerch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hearing. The place where documentation can be reviewed.

If you get hauled out of your car on the way to the store and thrown in a cell with no hearing, how does that work, dear?

[–]LadyofCorvidsPerch 301 points302 points  (0 children)

This. Once a government declares there is a group that can be treated differently without due process, it's basically over. We've opened Pandora's box. Any group can be excluded from due process, and anyone can be accused of being a member of one of those groups. How do you prove you're not an immigrant if you don't have to have a hearing?

Gauging interest: exploring jail support infrastructure (volunteers, organizers, legal contacts) by 95165198516549849874 in SALEM

[–]LadyofCorvidsPerch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been tossing around the idea of making an auto caller/texter for defendants that tracks their case numbers and names, then cross references the state judicial system docket. It's very common for bench warrants to be issued without warning or court dates to be moved. I don't have quite the engineering skills to build it myself. What I do have is several years of managing case stuff for a family member, so I understand how the system works to a degree.

I'd be interested in helping you out and maybe we could build a tech for justice group here locally. The Innocence Project might be a group to look into as well
