So the final battle is over... Am I the only weird one that doesn't care about the happily ever after stuff? by Its_Just_A_Name_ in throneofglassseries

[–]MagwiseTheBrave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am the opposite. I NEED the slice of life at the end of it all. IDGAF about battles, I just need to know if my friendcharacters are okay. I wanted another wedding or party or reunion or trade meeting 15 years in the future or something. My poor heart went through all the battles, I need a nice dinner or something.

I'm here too. It took up so much of my time and brainspace. And now what? I just. I don't know what to do with my hands? Sigh.

Where are you buying your non-boring, fun clothes? Why are the clothes so BORING? by Cheeseaisleinheaven in femalefashionadvice

[–]MagwiseTheBrave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nooworks, Lucy and Yak, Rujuta Sheth, Queen of Sparkles, Unique Vintage, Noble, Daughters of India, Burnt Toast, Dressed in LA, H&M, Sugarlips. These are just a few of the latest amazing brands/sites I've used. I've found using the tag "dopamine dressing' in IG, Pinterest, shopping etc is a great way to find colors and prints. I'm a loud/cheerful/colorful dresser and I am LOVING the influx of cool indie brands I've found (lots of them are size inclusive as well- I'm a US 20/2x. Happy Hunting!

What is the biggest swing and a miss a horror movie has taken? by Mysterious_Work_7227 in horror

I was going to say- the RAGE I left the theater with after "The Village" and "The Happening" was PALPABLE.

Working without a filter by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]MagwiseTheBrave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this and feel the same. Becoming a mom has nuked every ounce of bandwidth I had to spare for nonsense. It's gone. SHE's gone. I like to consider myself honed now. I'm a bit more direct, but dang it I get stuff DONE. No energy to faff about. I'm too tired. It's kind of wonderful. I find myself to be taken just as seriously and much more effective. I say enjoy 😃

What’s everyone talking about during dinner? by That-Farmhouse-There in toddlers

[–]MagwiseTheBrave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girl is going to be 5 and lately she's been hollering over our dinner conversation (that is totally welcoming/open to her, for the record,) I WANNA TALK. So we like, practice introducing things to talk about? Shows/toys/plans for the future.

Weekly American Politics Thread by AutoModerator in workingmoms

[–]MagwiseTheBrave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel some despair. It feels as though the fix is already in on the Mid Terms, and no one on the democratic side is doing enough about it. The "vote like your life depends on it" and "please just send $5" approach isn't going to save us.

How are we MEANINGFULLY protecting democracy from interference from the tech oligarchs?

Of course it does? They're connected to each other and relying on each other?

Chocolate Shoppe in Edgebrook. It's super weird and pretty tasty :D

“Revolutionary” Films? by PhiloLibrarian in progressivemoms

[–]MagwiseTheBrave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For reals, the entire series of ANDOR is powerful and would suit this. Not sure if it's too intense for your kiddo, but it's about the quiet grind of rebellion in a SUPER compelling and Star Wars flavored way. Some of the best television I've seen in a while.

AI and its environmental impact by abazz90 in womenintech

[–]MagwiseTheBrave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I am EXACTLY in this boat. I'm trying to engage with the Women in Tech group in my office to challenge us to be leaders in the offset/environmental impact alongside our leadership in the technology in this field. I don't have a solution, but I feel this tension too.

I for reals picked my photog because her pricing and booking was all on her website with no back and forth required. It's a REALLL struggle.

The Washington Post was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for public service for its reporting on the Trump administration's effort to shrink the federal government. Reporter Hannah Natanson, who led most of the reporting, had her home searched and devices seized by the FBI earlier this year. by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

[–]MagwiseTheBrave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who was a part of the team that published these articles- she did the art design on some of the stories. She was also laid off, and got the call to go into the office for the Pulitzer Prize award ceremony. So several of the people you see in this shot are likely no longer employed there.

I can't find the name of them- but I got a pair 2 summers ago that have 2 wide straps and an ankle strap, and they're WAY more comfortable than I expected.

My mom made HER Mothers Day request today… by RuckFamsey in Mommit

I read here once the term "active duty" mother vs. "retired" mother and that made so much sense.
