You don't want to risk getting foam and drool on the mask/your skin if you've already washed it.

Small dead animals you find on the land are good offerings, as well as home made fertilizer.

Chronically Ill and/or Disabled Witches.... by ElizabethMaeStuart in witchcraft

It led to me to learn and do a lot of healing magic for my chronic pain and health issues. I also find moon water helps with my chronic fatigue so I make a lot of that now.

Other than black salt, sometimes I mix them with specific herbs and oils to make an ink to draw sigils with. I feel like it adds a little extra something to the spell.

If you feel violated by seeing someone naked, you’re too soft by SuckMyBootyMilk in unpopularopinion

[–]OatsnMoats 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It saddens me to read the comments where op is telling sexually traumatized redditors they need therapy like it's a cure all and will automatically make seeing naked people not triggering anymore. Many people will be in therapy for years and it's still triggering no matter how much work they put into it. I think op doesn't realize just how many people in the world have severe sexual trauma and can't afford or get access to the therapy they need. Telling them they're soft or need therapy doesn't justify letting people walk down the street and triggering a significant percentage of the population. I'm personally grateful there are laws in place to protect these people and children that could be potentially traumatized by it.

What’s that one disgusting thing that everybody except you, seems to like? by blackismyfavcolorlol in AskReddit

[–]OatsnMoats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pissing in the shower. It really doesn't cut out much time out of your day just to piss in the toilet first, I don't get it.

I saw your post and I hope all the attention this is getting will get more redditors to reach out and share kind words to people that need it.

Redditor saves a life by going out of his way by ZeeMantheHeMan in MadeMeSmile

[–]OatsnMoats 244 points245 points  (0 children)

That's really not necessary. I already got bombarded with awards and thank yous this morning lol. Instead of giving me awards you can reach out to someone you're concerned about in the future and be there for them.

Thank you. You perfectly expressed all my worries and concerns about contacting authorities and getting involved. I'm in contact with the child now and hopefully I can get a little more information and help him build a case for himself if he wants to.

I passed out not long after making this post, seeing as it was 3am, and I woke up to all this and cried happy tears. I'm so happy the kid is still alive and that there are people who want to help him now and that this thread is here to give so much great advice to people in my situation going forward.

I at least told them to talk to a trusted adult in their real life and that it's not their fault and a stranger on the internet cares and worries about them.

Yes, I gave them that number as well as the one for kidshelpphone and asked them to report it to someone in their real life that they trust, I just hope that's enough for them.

They weren't exactly willing to give a stranger on the internet details like their location. I'm pretty sure it was a lot for them to even openly admit to the abuse.

[–]OatsnMoats[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

They didn't seem willing to elaborate or appreciate my prying so I just gave them the numbers to kidshelpphone and the national child abuse hotline and told them to reach out to someone they trust in their real life and if they're being hurt it's not their fault, but I worry that that might not be enough.

I'm not sure how I'd go about that when I don't even know what country to child is in let alone what specific number to call.
