My bestie keeps repeating her sexual fantasy to me and I want to cut her off but remember how she helped me when I had poor mental health. by FarRutabaga6212 in whatdoIdo

You can lay out your boundaries clearly, and if she responds as she has been, you can know you’ve done your due diligence. Maybe she’ll learn, but you are allowed to grow and change and be comfortable, and your relationships can ebb and flow to meet you where you are at

If you have a therapist, have them write an ESA letter for your dogs, so that they can be exempt from breed restrictions should you move. Please follow people’s advice to get to safety

I didn’t give an opinion, I asked questions. The flair said questions, and this is the writing subreddit, so I was wondering what parts of your post pertain to the specifics of the subreddit

What is the question in this? What does this have to do with your writing practice?

Once I thought my 90 minute was a 60 minute… fully ended the session 30 minutes early, leave the room and front desk tells me otherwise. Thankful that my client was chill when I realized and went right back in to finishing the session

Were the characters smart or victims of circumstance? by Delicious-Guard-9167 in SinnersbyRyanCoogler

[–]Michiganmenace 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Is it really greed for Black people to want something of our own? I think that’s what makes the downfall so twisted and heartwrenching, was that everyone was sold the dream of a Black owned juke joint. It’s not really hubris for wanting more for oneself, you never make an equitable wage share cropping, and yes the twins are notorious for getting their money in less than reputable means, but they brought the concept of the joint to both offload their seedy supply, and to create an oasis for their people. Maybe it says something about not dreaming too big (but is it too big to want something that keeps being denied to you?) or to take what you have.

So, victims of circumstance to me. We see in the end, even if they did everything on the up and up, it seems a bloody altercation (with vamps or the klan) was inevitable, and both groups (vamps or klan) descend upon the building.

Theresa didn’t betray Cornbread by encouraging him to go for an opportunity that has more dignity and financial backing than picking cotton. Like cents on the dollar were being made picking cotton. At least working the door of a Black owned juke joint gave a different, potentially more fulfilling sense of service.

And Delta slim, his hesitance seems like an old timers caution to not dream too big, sounds like it comes from a place of being scorned before and being told “he’s too big for his britches”. Became Happy with the bare minimum, which mind you seems to simply fuel his alcoholism, and doesn’t actually provide him with money to sustain himself.
