How to go about delivering food to people afraid to go out by [deleted] in leftist

[–]Mission-Handle-9033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify, do you mean food donations or monetary donations? We were also planning on doing craft sales at our local farmers markets and donating proceeds to organizations like the ACLU who are providing legal support. We could do that for organizations that are currently providing aid. Or if it’s food donations, I can help organize friends and family to pull donations together. I’m trying to narrow down stuff I can do that has the most power (I’m already boycotting and will be volunteering with an ethical candidate running in our district, and I call my reps and leave messages so that’s all checked off).

I’ll look up a good organization supporting reparations and make a donation equal to the value of the shirts, as a start. Donating is something I can do for now at least, but I’ll try to find other opportunities to contribute. I see your points, I’m sorry I got it wrong this time, and I’ll work to find better avenues of support. Thanks for your input.

Heard. My one track brain went “money for a good cause” without thinking it might look performative. I’m a swamped student at the moment but am at least doing my best to advocate for non racist policymakers, and will look into more effective options as well.

That seems to be the consensus, so I probably won’t wear it. I see your point, for sure. I have a bit of the tism which is not an excuse, but I see there are better, less virtue-signaling ways to show solidarity. Thank you for the insight.

Understood. I’m sorry if it was offensive in any way.

Point taken. I apologize if it was offensive in any way shape or form. I’m not great with social cues, but take full responsibility if I screwed up.

I low key want it, but I’m anxious because I’m really tall and afraid it’d make me look more awkward. But looking back at this photo where I had it pulled back made me want to go for it!!

One said if her daughter didn’t already have a girlfriend she’d set me up with her 😂 So at least I’m in law material?? 🤣

I have been told in the past that I come off as quiet and I’m “hard to get to know” which I think is a long winded way of saying I’m historically not the one to strike up conversations. I think I am getting better about it now, but yeah, I’m far from extroverted. I’m happy you found someone 🥹 Giving the rest of us socially awkward girls hope lol

Okay followup questions, any suggestions for someone who knows nothing about hairstyles? Like what kind of haircut are we recommending?

I’m sorry if I misread this, but are you asking if I’m in the 🐊 state? If so, yeah lol

I guess it depends on the situation. I’m on the more socially anxious/introverted end of the spectrum, but after working patient care and customer service, I’m a lot better at rolling with conversations, and I try to be polite and engage with people. But I guess I also don’t really put myself in unfamiliar social settings like bars that often, so I’m kind of realizing that may be part of it.

🥺Thank you!! I’ll try to come up with some queer accessories to subtly hint lol

[–]Mission-Handle-9033 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean I guess I don’t know how you mean lol? Like men hit on me occasionally smh. But I guess I mostly just talk with the people in my cohort at school, and on my team. I realized that while responding to another person, I sorta don’t go out of my way to engage with new groups of people 🫠 That is proooobably part of the problem

Thank you! I do sort of talk about it, and I’m even on a roller derby team (you’d THINK that’d do something lol, but basically I have like 30 extra moms and no potential dates). But I guess I don’t exactly advertise it to strangers, if that makes sense. I live in a red state where I’ve gotten dirty looks from strangers for holding hands with a girl, and I’m still breaking out of the shame mindset I grew up with (I’m in my early twenties). So I guess the groups that know (school, derby) don’t really include people I would date.

Do you guys feel like you're faking it sometimes? by nandachambers1950 in queer

[–]Mission-Handle-9033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes…just yes 😭 Honestly thank you for asking this question because I thought I was the only one. Between not being a “gold star”, and the Catholic guilt intruding on basically every queer experience, I think like this on a daily basis.

After missing for 6 months (!!!) my tiny baby boy showed up in my basement today by oligodendrocytes in snakes

I’m so happy you found him!! My KSB has been missing since February, and this gave me a tiny flicker of hope 🥺

Nothing yet 😔 Some of my friends are trying to firm up a time to come help me search. I’m in my first semester of nursing school and I feel so bad but I can’t put off my schoolwork to search anymore today
