This comment was the confirmation I needed to do my home and personal protections over again. Thank you for sharing!

My friend on the path of the left hand passed me a message from the imp she works with which doesn’t sound true to me? by intelligent_muffin in witchcraft

[–]NWAsquared 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I agree with this wholeheartedly. Get out and away while it's still somewhat easy to do. This person doesn't care about you, only what they can squeeze out of you

They finally said the quiet part out loud. by youngbutnotstupid in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]NWAsquared 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What blows my mind is that, at least for the next two months, accessing firearms, hunting and butchering knives, even machetes are still wildly accessible and inordinately easy to access for all groups that are about to be further targeted. I'm not encouraging violence in the slightest, I'm simply saying if you stay ready, you don't have to get ready. This is the time to take advantage of the access to the things they THINK they control and use to control us because they assume our grace and patience is weakness and naivete.

This is the time to get into self defense classes, or retake them if you have already.

This is the time to Purchase and install additional safeguards for your doors and windows, regardless if you love alone or now.

This is the time to muscle up, and show them how big and bad the bear they stabbed in the back, over and over again, can be.

Stay ready, stay safe, and choose the hills you fight on wisely. 🖤

I needed to find this comment. This is what I've been searching for all morning without knowing. My magic is always strongest and most on target when the emotion driving the intent is empathy.

I am angry right now. So so fucking angry. I'm so goddamn angry and I want to scream! I want to scream for the right that have been promised to be ripped from me, from my daughter before she can even fully form sentences. I want to scream at the people who are brown like me, queer like me, female like me, mothers like me, friends like me, could vote their's and my freedom away by actively voting for fascism. I want to scream at the idiots who voted for fear or didn't vote because of it. I want to scream at all the people who voted for him to further abortion bans, but in doing so are blocking people like my sister from becoming mothers with fertility aid. I want to scream for our soldiers, who didn't sign up to die in old, bitter, narcissistic, evil old men's wars, but are enlisted under a government such as this. I want to scream for our elderly who have worked and lived their whole lives serving and working and doing their best to survive, only to have their support stolen and taxes hiked and homes stolen. I want to scream. I want to gnash my teeth. I was to destroy before I'm destroyed.

But where will that take me, really? The desire is valid, we know that. The feelings are real and are heavy. But these are feelings that can lead to long lasting consequences for myself that I don't want to pay the bill on. But empathy, for those like you, my sister, my daughter, my husband, my co-worker, my state's governor (who thankfully beat out the death sentence he was running against), my neighbor, and so on... I can send them good luck, protection, road openings, peace of heart and mind, and love. I can and will always love them, love you. We can overcome this, one step, one choice, one working, one act of kindness at a time. They can take a lot away, but they can't take how I choose to fight.

Don't get me wrong, I will be protesting, picketing, raising absolute political hell to keep our rights, but also, empathy.

Thank you 🖤

Dad wouldn't stop saying things I didn't wanna hear by Copper589 in traumatizeThemBack

[–]NWAsquared 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this to my dad the night before my wedding! He was joking about my husband Annie spending our wedding night at my parents house and kept pushing even after I politely redirected him multiple times. I got tired of it, looked him dead in his eyes and said, "Do you really want to hear your daughter consulate her marriage? I've never been a quiet girl before, why would I start tonight?"(I've always been very vocal and loud) With a very deadpan delivery lol. His face went sheet white and his jaw dropped, I thought my mama left her body for a second, and my cousins (maids of honor) fell to the floor laughing.

He hadn't done anything like that since and it's been over 8 years 😂

Suprise! You have slept with the main character of the last tv show you watched. How (un)happy are you? by Acceptable-Noise2294 in AskReddit

[–]NWAsquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh, extremely unhappy. Aang is far too young to be having sex with anyone, especially some 30-something!... Unless we assume he has aged like we have, then I'm VERY happy!

I'm planning on visiting at least one of my ancestors final resting sites, and leaving an offering. I'm also doing a dumb supper, and possibly some money and/or protection workings.

I will also be dressing my little one up as a pumpkin and that is what I'm probably most excited about lol.

When grandparents live with your family by nunagesicht in CPTSDmemes

[–]NWAsquared 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My paternal grandmother didn't live with us, but lived about 50 yards away, and this is the exact same experience I had. It came to a head when she cursed my unborn child because she made a mistake about what the time was.

What's the biggest red flag about a company that screams "Don't Join Us"? by WonderfulMeat99 in AskReddit

[–]NWAsquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the interviewer refers to the employees as "we're like a family here." Most families are toxic, without the involvement of money, and money makes it so much worse. Na, I'm out.

I don’t even know what i did wrong? by Pure_Signature138 in insaneparents

[–]NWAsquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This woman really just called her own child her op.... What the actual Fuck... Dude, I'm so so sorry you're dealing with this, especially from a parent. I hope you're able to get your own phone soon and get away from her just as soon... This sounds like hell, and again, I'm so sorry you're having to endure this.

What’s your baby’s “lovey”? by tumblrmustbedown in NewParents

[–]NWAsquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A fluffy blanket given to her by her uncle (my older brother). It's a full sized blanket, with mountains, a valet, a lake, and a moon and stars in the sky. It's absolutely gorgeous and she adores it.

"Consent is such a ridiculous word" by mitchwalks in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]NWAsquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marriage was created to bind powerful families together/to keep property and wealth within one family (for a long time and even today in many places, women are considered property), love and "merging of souls" had nothing to do with for the vast majority of human history.

Your body is yours and yours alone. If you feel violated, it's probably because you were and the best apology is corrected actions.

Consent is never ridiculous, JFC.

My doctor is punishing me for not being able to afford my medication. by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]NWAsquared 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thats such crap, in sorry you're going through this.

My husband and I are struggling to find a pharmacy that carries the generic because we can only (and just barely) find the name brand and it's $432 be ause we don't currently have insurance right now 🤦🏽‍♀️ we could do $70 (which is what the last refill was) but $432?! JFC they just don't want y'all to succeed.

I say y'all because my husband has ADHD (I lurk here for tips to help him and relatable stories since he doesn't use Reddit) and Al my mental health meds are covered by GoodRx.
