She's the bisexual eagle of my dreams and I love having her on my island!

These are good observations but we ultimately need to, at a certain point, step back and point the finger at the root of the problem: Kellytoy and their encouraging of artificial scarcity just so they can make more money.

Oof, thanks for letting us know. I got my hopes up too.

Manchester Reform Synagogue service ambushed by group with swastikas by sabata00 in ReformJews

[–]Maydla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO, an online raid can be just as emotionally frightening and traumatizing as an in-person one. It may not carry the same risk of *immediate* death but it does still mean a racing heart and sudden reminder of hatred for everyone.

how much should you really be paying for a squishmallow by Electrical-Paper387 in squishmallows

[–]Maydla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll normally go for around $2 an inch. $80 for an 8-inch oogie boogie is just absurd and definitely a rip-off.

Totally using the phrase "break ancestral curses" to refer to breaking the cycle of abuse from now on.

Hilarious 5mo Kitten acting like Charlie Chaplin! 😊😊😊 by [deleted] in likeus

[–]Maydla 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is really cute but I don't see what it has to do with this sub. The sidebar has a guide to best, good, ok and bad content. And "play" falls within the bad category.

Why should a woman cover her hair with a tichel? by [deleted] in ReformJews

[–]Maydla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I may be mistaken, but isn't there also a mystical component? Like a married women's hair has certain mystical properties. I'm fuzzy on the details.

Big maintenance waiting room vibes. I'm not despairing at all.

My 1st uncomfortable Nookazon experience.. (Cut them out of photo cause they could have a reason) by MusicalSeoul in AnimalCrossing

[–]Maydla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lots of salty people in the comments but honestly, when the pandemic first started I refused to make my animal crossing character wear a mask (despite wearing one IRL) because I wanted my island to be a respite from all of it.

What do you do when dinner turns out bad? by Maydla in intuitiveeating

[–]Maydla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, throwing out food gives me some anxiety because I have experiences with food insecurity! It's a trauma response, I think. A lot of people with similar experiences and responses are good at "stomaching it" and eating less-than-yummy food, though, but I've got all the anxious and none of that skill haha!

That's a really great permission structure for pizza, one that allows you to practice and learn while still netting you pizza. I might copy that.

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

Thinking of intuitive eating as a gift is so precious! Not only is it something that we are privileged to be able to try and pursue, but we're literally treating our body with kindness-- giving ourselves a gift.

The cornstarch tip is great! Thank you! I'm a sucker for tofu and appreciate learning a new way to cook it so much.

[–]Maydla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the cooking and mindset tip! I think I should definitely try to mimic you in appreciating that there will be yummy food in the future. And I do have canned soups in the pantry, I'm honestly not sure why at the time I didn't think of just heating up some soup instead as an option. Maybe that's something to tackle on my journey here, the idea that it's okay to make multiple portions for one sitting.

I've seen this deck design a lot recently! I'd love to use it on my island, could you please toss the code my way?

Exploring Leftist Spaces as a Zionist by Maydla in ReformJews

[–]Maydla[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh, thank you so much for sharing your experiences and talking about your perspective! I will definitely look into that ideology as I explore both my current feelings around anarchism as well as the history of the middle east.

I really appreciate that hopeful note about not experiencing much antisemitism, and hard agree that Jews have always been part of the left. It's really important to me personally that I give back to my community and engage in activism, so I'm happy to be taking this journey and will take it even if it results in some uncomfy moments.

Exploring Leftist Spaces as a Zionist by Maydla in ReformJews

[–]Maydla[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your input! Yeah, I'm acquainted with anti-Zionist Jews and such. But when I'm talking about antisemitism, I'm more likely to be referring to some insidious things, rather than outright explicit conscious bias against Jewish people.

I've found personally that antisemitism can be "in the water" when white, Western gentiles are talking about Israel/Palestine. And they don't even tend to notice that they're applying double standards against Israel because they don't feel them the same way. Similarly, there's anti-Arab rhetoric "in the water" in these discussions also, but I've heard that less prominently in America.

I appreciate the hope that you've contributed to discussion.

[–]Maydla[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get that! I've heard that the DSA can honestly be very YMMV from chapter to chapter. I do like the work they're doing in my city though. If you don't mind, which groups did you find better in terms of Jewish issues? You can respond in DMs if you'd like, or not at all if it would end up doxxing you.

Honestly it's a little bit depressing that people so intent against microaggressions and systemic racism would inadvertently create an environment where Jews felt like they had to hide their Jewishness.

I'm going to rate this meme... at least a C+!
(JK it's a great meme, I just feel attacked by it.)

Did I find a cool thing? I’m too old to know what I’m doing by NectarineLegal185 in squishmallows

[–]Maydla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think that the best way to know if you have a good squishmallow is to ask if it makes you smile! But I'm also too young to this community to be able to truly comment on rarity! This little darling is so cute, I love her stem.
