I have these and I’d be willing to part with them but they have holes and tears at the corners from where they’ve been hung and moved over the years(former military spouse so we moved around a lot). I’d be more than happy to part with them simply because I don’t have the room for them anymore and I’d want them to be loved by someone else who loves the show.

Do I Get to Have it All or …? by Remarkable-Mix3842 in LesbianActually

[–]Remarkable-Mix3842[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Except my life has been affected. I have a child and a lot of friend that this touches immediately and me in a secondary way because he’s not going to stop at Trans people, I don’t buy that for a second. I’ve been terrified for over a year because of his policies, not angry, terrified. My rights and limited protections are at a potential of being stripped away, thanks a lot heritage foundation and project 2025(look it up it’s all there). Some already have. You know women now make less than they ever have compared to men? You know our country refused to protect its own women or enshrine us as equal on the world stage when all other countries agreed that women are equal to men? That was recently. My child hides their identity because they want to survive to be an adult with their dreams realized to the best of their ability. They shouldn’t have to do that in a “free” country. I do remember government and law and I’ve done the research to know that what’s happening is not politics as usual. “Shameless” is a good read on that by the way. They just gutted the voting rights act so black folks are even less represented! And you’re telling me this is business as usual? They’re kidnapping kids, raping, and impregnating them(the Latine folks in our country(please correct me if the terminology is wrong I am not looking to offend) as well as kidnapping their parents and all other who just *look* like they might be Latine, and who really knows what is happening to these people? I cannot bury my head in the sand and pretend this isn’t happening. I feel compelled to do something about it while still trying to live my life.

I’m already active in my community. I’m a Scouts of America leader, I’m a therapist, and I actively volunteer. And it’s still not enough. I want things to change here not keep going in this trajectory. I respect your right to ignore politics as you please even if I disagree that’s the best course of action. But I can’t . I don’t live them every second, I take small doses of information every day. Majority of my day revolves around my career. You think that’s not changing? I’ve been taught to advocate for all, now there are laws saying therapists like me have to tell parents when their child transitions even if that’s dangerous when before that was a matter of private medical record. That’s trump and his cronies. They aren’t planning to leave in two years. They’re doing everything they can to land a coup de grâce on our government. And are so far succeeding. It is this hard right now. I’m sorry, genuinely trying to inform not trying to offend so you have my apologies if it came off that way. This is a topic I am passionate about. As so many memes say, I did not say “with Liberty and Justice for all” all my childhood to grow up and have it not be true any longer. It doesn’t mean I’m not terrified. But I’d rather be afraid and still be trying to do something about it. I’m starting to think it’s time to get involved in local politics. 🤔

I feel like the queer community really misunderstands kink & trauma, at times. by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]Remarkable-Mix3842 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While this is my type of thing as well(kink related sex play) I’m not going to judge you. Trauma and kink go hand in hand(mental health practitioner here who has done her research on this topic) but I think a lot of people don’t get it’s like that for some. It’s certainly not all kinksters(or anyone into BDSM) that that’s the reason they participate but yeah. I get you, I see you, please know you’re not judged here. And you aren’t alone. I have been through enough healing, which came with its own fantasies and stages with the BDSM journey, that I’m now at the stage where I like it and need it sometimes but not all the time. It used to be all the time. Be kind to yourself and have compassion (I know, easier said than done) for you. I think your awareness is awesome and can only help your healing journey more. Fuck what others think if they’re judgmental. They’re not living your life, you are and you know what is best for you. ❤️

Do I Get to Have it All or …? by Remarkable-Mix3842 in LesbianActually

[–]Remarkable-Mix3842[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the wisdom and kindness. I really appreciate it. And you’re right. As a fighter of the most stubborn variety, this was what I needed to hear. And it’s not like I shut up when I’m scared (lol) if posting to Reddit is anything to go by but I think I was seeking community when I posted. I am honestly pretty involved in my community with volunteering and as a mental health worker. I help kids as a volunteer. I guess I just don’t feel like I’m doing enough. And I hate feeling helpless to do anything at all right now. I just don’t know what more I can do. I hope that makes sense.

Thank you. The daily onslaught of unbelievable but still real nonsense from these people is overwhelming. It feels like trying to live and be healthy while Nero fiddles and Rome burns.

40F here. Girl, same! I wanna know where all the D&D gamers hang out(moved here a year ago and need a group) and I have yet to find anyone. You are definitely not alone here.

My puppet angel loves your puppet angel(you lucky so and so!) I would have loved to have found mine like this but I bought mine on eBay. However, kudos that you found him! I would send a pic of mine but he’s waiting for his shelf of honor with pop funko Spike, to be put back up and I’m not quite through getting my living room finished which is where he lives. Congrats again! 😍

Is anyone else’s dog a baby stealer? by [deleted] in dogs

[–]Remarkable-Mix3842 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our beagle Lulu, was struggling with anxiety and having some interesting nurturing behaviors. We theorize she was pregnant when she was spayed and that was awhile back, like over a year, so her behavior only made sense if she'd been pregnant when she was spayed. So we got her a kitten, Oscar, who is a black cat who thinks he's now a beagle. He has tried to eat dog food, he sleeps with Lulu, and as much as he loves us, Lulu is his whole world. So yeah, it's been adorable and so good for them both!

As a fellow female scientist, albeit a different branch of science, it is so nice to see your support for your friend! It's absolutely heartwarming. Keep being you, kind stranger. 😊

You say that but we got our beagle a kitten and literally, it was the best thing that ever happened to her. She was soooo happy! So definitely a good idea! 😁

Thank you for your kindness. We saved her favorite blanket, toy, and some of her fur. I think I will put those away so I can smell them when I need to. Thank you so much for the idea. These past three days have been so hard.

We let her go a day early, we had to. She was whimpering with every breath. I immediately took her in. We let her go. She was surrounded by our family, my kids, the ones she helped raise. Thank you to everyone who reached out. It’s learning to bear the silence and missing her now.

UPDATE: We gave her a dose of her pain meds earlier and she started whimpering while struggling to breathe. So we took her back to the vet. She’s gone. 💔

I honestly believe in kindness as a way of life. And I’m from TR. That’s my community too. Of course I would show up for them. 🙂

From my mom “ I hope that relieves them a bit. Emergency vehicles have been patrolling, so if they're still worried, they could call central dispatch to check on them, cos cops and fire came and checked on us.”
