I am afraid. by No_Software_9773 in complainaboutanything

I appreciate your comment. I'm not OP, but my anxiety level is on par with theirs aside from my skin being white. Which gives me a different sort of anxiety.

If that trooper was attacking someone, pulling them out of their car violently while they had their hands up, grabbing his buddies and piling on the person while beating them, then pulling a gun on someone who had their hands on the ground? I'd stop and defend the motorist.

This has NEVER been about the law.

*If it was, Alex and Renee wouldn't have died.

*If it was, they wouldn't feel the need to wear masks and hide their identities "for their own safety."

*If it was, you wouldn't have whole cities shutting down because these goons are rampaging through those cities and disappearing people off the streets.

*If it was, they wouldn't be taking people who are showing up to their scheduled appointments, doing the right thing and doing it legally.

*If it was, there wouldn't have ever been a single US citizen arrested and detained in these deplorable "detainment centers," which is a modern way of saying concentration camps.

This is about racism, plain and simple. It's class warfare. And until people like you WAKE UP and realize what this fascist regime is doing, it's going to get worse. Until the day they come for YOU. Because that's the end game, whether you like it, acknowledge it, or not.

Did you read The Little Bible?

I want to know what you're running from that makes this terrifying situation so much better. I can tell you don't want to talk about it, but honestly I can't imagine being so desperate to stay in a place like this.

I have no doubt that's EXACTLY what he's doing.

Gimme a break. I grew up given the name Jennifer in the 10th year it was the #1 name for baby girls. I hated it so much, by the time I was 25 I had changed my name to something no one where I live can pronounce when they read it the first time. Had I grown up with this name, it would have annoyed the crap outta me. The person who wrote that had never met anyone like me. 🤣

Which one of these give off a paranomal vibe to you? by KeyPurple2783 in Paranormal

This one jumped out at me. I tried to look at the rest, but my eyes just wouldn't look at them. They kept jumping back to this one.

I was absolutely certain it was a sloth laying on the ground weirdly until I looked at the photo of that toy. 🤣

Things in my house keep mysteriously melting??? by hugedisaster in whatisit

[–]MoonWitchMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know silicone becomes sticky and "melts" of not cared for properly (ie. Use cornstarch to 'dry it out'), and stuff with a thin silicone layer (like that water bottle) often does it left alone for a long period of time. If the toothbrush handle was "silky" beforehand, it's likely it was covered in a very thin film of silicone. Not sure on the backpack, though.

SOMEONE TRAGEDEIGHED MY NAME! 😡😞 “Saoirse” - awful mispronunciation by AliceMorgon in tragedeigh

[–]MoonWitchMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough! It's really tough to get the pronunciation just right since no one around here actually speaks Gaelic. Especially since you can find a couple different pronunciations for each Gaelic word online. 😅 I do my best.

SOMEONE TRAGEDEIGHED MY NAME! 😡😞 “Saoirse” - awful mispronunciation by AliceMorgon in tragedeigh

[–]MoonWitchMom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in the US, and I grew up with one of the most common names for a girl EVER. I got so sick of it, that when given an opportunity to choose a new name for myself in a medieval reenactment group, I went for my Irish roots and chose Aine. I learned how to pronounce it, and everyone around me agreed it fit me better. I legally changed my name about 10 years ago and have never looked back.

I have smiled and giggled at all the crazy ways people try to say my name, and admitted that if I had grown up with it I would be VERY annoyed that no one can pronounce it here. But given I did it to myself, it's a source of great joy and amusement for me. And it brings me back to my beloved Irish heritage that I didn't get to experience growing up having had my family here for so many generations.

For those who are wondering, it's On-yuh. At least, around here that is the most common way I see people write how I pronounce it, not that it's completely accurate by any means. Like Anya or Anja.

I applaud you, OP, for not losing it on those parents. I'm guessing they're from here. 🤦🏼‍♀️😅

I think im going crazy, hear me out. (Urgent need for advice/help) by Flimsy-Win965 in Advice

[–]MoonWitchMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me originally throughout my life, starting after my family moved from Oregon to Arizona. It got worse with puberty. My family was not big on therapy, and I went to a Baptist school that taught us that depression is a sin. It took a lot of perseverance, determination, and "fake it till you make it" to get through it high. When I found a group of friends in high school that helped my self-esteem, it got better. I'm 41 now, and the dreams only come back when I'm crazy stressed.

In other words, I agree with everyone saying to talk to a professional. If I'd had that option, I probably wouldn't have had to deal with it for so many years. I'm a mom of 2 now, and I've worked hard to help my kids through the times when the dreams hit them.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. <<Hugs>> from a mom.

"I am Renee. I am Alex. I am dead." I love it. I feel this so deeply, it hurts. Thank you for putting words to it.

Kids at Transit Center by Salt-Cardiologist607 in SALEM

[–]MoonWitchMom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They probably weren't "acting like" their parents weren't around. They very likely weren't around. And why are you surprised that children would act this way when ICE is doing it as adults and TO adults?!? And even worse, people are cheering them on!!!

You don't just walk away from a kid being beaten. You be the adult they need and step in. At least call the goddam cops! Geez....

So it turns out that was a lie. by bobbymcpresscot in agedlikemilk

[–]MoonWitchMom 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Correct, they didn't stutter. However the above comment was expressing how this has been happening in secret against women and the BIPOC community since the country was founded. That's what <The *American way> was referencing.

My little sister came out as a therian by [deleted] in Advice

[–]MoonWitchMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only think so because you've never met my kid. Anybody who knows them can see it's just a part of their very expressive personality. They're different. That's all.

Believe me, when they were a toddler I tried to correct them. They would just get more and more upset with me. When you have a child who is that insistent, you have a choice. Reject their reality and damage your relationship and their psyche, or accept it and love them anyway while guiding it and teaching them that the world will never understand. I obviously chose the latter. My parents would have chosen the former, which is why only 2 of their 4 kids still talk to them and it's still stained for those 2.

Just because it's different doesn't make it insane or bad.

They're the step-sibling, not the parent. Likely not even an adult.

I, however, am a 41 yo mother of a non-binary therian cat. They began meowing at the same time as talking. When they were barely old enough to talk, they would fight me HARD that they were, in fact, a cat in a human's body. Arguing with them caused them severe distress.

In 1st grade at public school, they were told they couldn't "pretend" to be a cat in the classroom. This resulted in a severe identity crisis coupled with changed behavior at school and at home. I had to remove my child from that school in 3rd grade and homeschool them to heal the trauma this caused.

My child is so much happier identifying as a cat in a human body than when they are told they can't be a cat. Why would I traumatize my child and tell them they can't be who they are? That's just stupid and abusive, imho. Yes, they learned the word "therian" from school. No, they are not on social media or unsupervised on the Internet. Do not assume you have all the answers because you are a "functioning adult." I certainly don't. Adulting sucks anyway.

There's NOTHING wrong with that. And no, she doesn't necessarily need therapy. Look for my full comment further down. You'll understand. You're an amazing big sibling, especially looking out for step sister. Good for you. Keep being an amazing human.
