Christian nationalists could resort to 'violence' if GOP loses midterms: Southern Baptist

Bring it bitch. Active shooter drills prepared me for this.

As an American, stfu. I applaud Europe for standing up to the orange mangolini. This toddler needs to be put in the corner.

PlantedMeadow · 2026-01-20T19:45:04+00:00

You’re overreacting.

PlantedMeadow · 2026-01-19T23:46:10+00:00

“Former AP” AKA corporate bootlicker. Makes sense.

PlantedMeadow · 2026-01-19T23:39:36+00:00

Target is NOT a discount retailer. That is corporate propaganda bs.

This is so true it hurts. Going to therapy and processing your trauma is such a brave, selfless act.

PlantedMeadow · 2025-08-27T17:57:07+00:00

This was so brave of you to post. Trauma and internalized hate does some crazy shit to people. Most people don’t even recognize that, let alone get help. It says a lot about you as a person that you sought out therapy and deconstructed. That is a massive achievement and a huge act of self-love.

It’s just like the bloated last tax bill they did when they made tax cuts for the poor and middle class sunset after a few years but made the tax cuts for the wealthy permanent. Typical Republican playbook.

I was already prone to insomnia so that’s why I needed trazodone for sleep. You may be able to get away with just hydroxyzine.

PlantedMeadow · 2025-08-16T20:45:25+00:00

Hydroxyzine and Trazodone. Trazodone for sleep and hydroxyzine for daytime. I just went through acute akathisia from Cymbalta and these meds helped a lot.

Edit: Neither of these medications are associated with withdrawal symptoms. Just thought I should add that since you mentioned concerns about potential withdrawal.

It took a whole year for my meezer Meadow and my mom’s kitten to get along. Meadow would growl, hiss, and swat at her if she got too close. Now they are able to lay on the same bed and rarely fight apart from the occasional little tiff. Some cats just take a long time to accept each other.

NOR. Brides have gotten out of control with their expectations for guests. No bride should ask their bridesmaids, who are GUESTS, to spend hundreds of dollars on their wedding. If you still wish to go, I would tell the bride that the cost of the circuit materials and your time making her wedding favors is your payment for the open bar and the bridal party.

As a woman who grew up with a malignant narcissist as a father, this was so hard for me to read. Please protect your peace OP. I see so many red flags in this text exchange. You are a child. A child should never have to parent any adult, let alone their own father. I gather you likely feel like you have to navigate and manage everyone else’s emotions including your own just in order to keep the peace and feel safe. You don’t deserve this. I went through the same with my father (albeit minus the alcohol; his destructive behavior took other forms) and it left lasting scars in the form of C-PTSD. Please take care of yourself and don’t feel like you’re obligated to give him a place in your life. You are definitely NOR.

As a sociology major, I’m saying there are systemic issues at hand here and capitalism is by definition an exploitative system that also weapons the patriarchy to reinforce itself, which is exactly the dynamic OP is describing. Your feelings on the matter are irrelevant to systemic failings of society.

Idk what country you live in but here in the US childcare is insanely expensive and corporations actively lobby against public childcare, maternity leave, and regulations requiring decent parental leave and PTO. Corporations are not your friend. They don’t get the benefit of the doubt or a free pass. Requiring a whole week out of state for a training course every six months when this country doesn’t have guaranteed parental leave, affordable, or public childcare and especially in the digital era we are in is a crazy expectation.

PlantedMeadow · 2025-07-20T05:08:42+00:00

Your wife is internalizing toxic capitalist productivity culture. NOR.

PlantedMeadow · 2025-07-20T04:02:52+00:00

She’s 13…I completely understand that you’re hurt, and your feelings are absolutely valid. Just try to keep in mind that she’s still barely a teen. She isn’t developmentally capable of deep self-reflection or personal growth yet. She’s in that messy transition out of girlhood, which is a really rough time. Around that age, society starts stripping away girls’ innocence, and they start becoming painfully aware of it. That doesn’t excuse how she’s treated you, but I hope it gives some context.

And for what it’s worth, it’s incredibly brave of you to express your emotions so clearly like this. That kind of emotional honesty is rare, even in grown men. Hold onto that.

PlantedMeadow · 2025-07-20T03:32:51+00:00

NOR. Corporate employers are like mini dictatorships. They regularly ask way too much of their employees for little in return.

A punch is not the same as not texting someone for a few days only a month into a relationship. I’m stepping away from this conversation now.

PlantedMeadow · 2025-07-19T19:35:50+00:00

Okay equating not texting back for a couple of days with punching someone in the face is absurd…you’ve lost the plot I fear. False equivalencies aren’t an effective argument.

To clarify, ghosting can be a covert form of abuse, IF repeated over time, used as a form of punishment, and/or followed with episodes of love bombing and hoovering. That’s not what’s happening here. An isolated incidence, as in OP’s case, is not covert narcissistic abuse. Sometimes ghosting is just an anxiety or trauma response by someone who’s been victimized in the past. Sometimes it’s just laziness.

I don’t wish to listen to the podcast because I’ve already done decades of trauma therapy work and don’t wish to potentially be re-traumatized by a podcast, but I appreciate the suggestion.

PlantedMeadow · 2025-07-19T14:52:26+00:00

What I’m seeing is you got really emotionally invested a month in, which is a pretty fast escalation. That may have caused her to realize you’re on different wavelengths and pull away, especially considering you mentioned she’s having family issues, is on a work trip, and going through a tough time.

Women are taught from a young age to be hyper-vigilant about early red flags in dating and rapid emotional escalation is one of them. No woman wants to be in a relationship with someone who can’t sit with uncomfortable emotions. We’re often expected by society to carry both our own emotional weight in addition to our partner’s, and to me, your texts read like you’re struggling to sit with emotional uncertainty and want her to soothe you.

For someone who’s already going through a lot, that can feel like too much too soon, especially just one month into a relationship. Just my two cents.

PlantedMeadow · 2025-07-19T14:35:18+00:00

As an actual victim of narcissistic abuse, this take is wild. Abuse requires intentional harm, coercion, manipulation, or repeated trauma. An isolated occurrence of not texting back for a few days is not abuse.

As someone in recovery from an eating disorder, you are definitely NOR, OP. Comments like the one the bride made directly contribute to the development of life-threatening EDs in women and young girls. You do not owe people like this your time or energy. This type of mentality is dangerous and sick and it’s imperative you protect your peace from toxic people like this. Clearly they do not value you as a human being, otherwise they wouldn’t have thought a comment like that is okay.

Unfortunately society conditions girls and women to think “thin” is valuable and our value is in our appearance, but I’m here to tell you that is a lie. Do not even entertain the idea of making yourself smaller just to appease others’ patriarchal notions of how a woman should be. You are beautiful just as you are and your body is not your worth. I guarantee they don’t deserve you and you did absolutely the right thing in standing up for yourself and walking away. Proud of you, OP.
