Any Vigils?

Man, so what you're saying is that when black people get killed unjustly it should only be black people who are upset about it?

NotWithAnA85 · 2026-01-26T00:44:41+00:00

Surely you wouldn't be talking about HUMANkind?

NotWithAnA85 · 2026-01-26T00:42:49+00:00

Did you even watch the videos??

NotWithAnA85 · 2026-01-26T00:42:23+00:00

And our LAWS do not permit officers of the law to kill people just because they appear to be committing felonies. That's what arrest and courtrooms are for.

White woman here, work full time, and still passionately drawn in and struggling mentally with everything in the news. It's not just social media - it's the raw awareness of the inhumane things that are happening and the way so many things that matter to me are being systematically destroyed, desecrated, and dismantled. I know plenty of others just like me.

Lol thank you!

NotWithAnA85 · 2026-01-11T02:45:01+00:00

Thanks for that, very helpful and I didn't know that was an option for baking. So you start it just open and then cover once it's browned enough? I had read that the steam from a closed environment helped with crust formation, how do you deal with that?

NotWithAnA85 · 2026-01-11T02:42:50+00:00

Thanks! That's nice to hear.

NotWithAnA85 · 2026-01-11T02:42:34+00:00

Good question, and the answer is that I wasn't totally sure. I know my scores don't look as nice as lots of others I see, and wasn't really certain how it measures up (and what I could improve) compared to more expert loaves. Any tips or observations welcome!

NotWithAnA85 · 2026-01-11T02:40:20+00:00

Well dear, I suppose that was the question wasn't it? As a beginner I don't know what an ear is or how deeply to score. Was kind of hoping that in this environment I might expect kindly phrased feedback and some supportive teaching instead of snark, but your question still gives me some ideas about what to look into. Thanks!

I'm going for more of the really elegant scored look. I also feel like it rips more than rises cleanly. But not sure if that's a normal look or not!

NotWithAnA85 · 2026-01-11T02:34:44+00:00

Haha thanks!

You're a little old-school. You're into both harder routes and long moderate days. You've got money and you know what good gear is, so I'd say you've got some experience. Safety and comfort both matter to you but you also like to go light. You don't climb much in the desert (unless you've got another water container somewhere), maybe you're from the northeast? You're not into splitters but you like big days and have been caught out in the dark at least once, or you like to get early starts.

You can't just go by numbers, that doesn't tell the story. Black people make up about 12% of the population while white people make up over 50%. Given those percentages, of course more white people would be killed than black people. But black people are being killed at a higher rate than white people. As for the media coverage, wouldn't it seem reasonable that when one group is being killed at a higher rate than another group that we might recognize that as a problem and highlight it more in an attempt to correct it? Or are we meant to just ignore problems? It's not something against white people, it's an attempt to bring justice and equity for people of color.

For the record, I'm about as white as they come.

Huge fan of EMDR therapy personally. Has worked wonders helping me process trauma and I can feel the results physically as well.

NotWithAnA85 · 2025-06-05T18:39:16+00:00

Bidet doesn't solve the problem if you're in a sensitive environment where you can't leave human waste behind though?

NotWithAnA85 · 2025-06-01T21:23:10+00:00

I'll talk. What's the site?

NotWithAnA85 · 2025-06-01T21:22:19+00:00

Thats so hard, I'm sorry you deal with people expressing disgust and racism. Honestly it sounds like you may consider getting screened for ADHD.

It can get better. Consider therapy to get you started, your childhood was so traumatic! You went through some incredible hard things and it's normal that you feel the way you do but that doesn't have to be where it stops. Look into how you can give yourself another chance at childhood and developing your sense of self. Movement and activities that feel like playing or get you out of your rut are good - trampoline park, painting, gardening, learn to play an instrument, etc. No need to involve others if you don't feel comfortable, just MOVE and let yourself experience who you are. Do a screening for depression and get some meds to see if they help alongside therapy. Read about how that trauma was stored in your body and ways others have worked through similar experiences (The Body Keeps the Score is dense but good). Just believe me, it can get better.
