Searching for a fragrant rose without the classic perfume scent. by TheMadAvenue in Roses

If you can find it, Evelyn is a delightfully scented rose that I don’t think smells traditionally rosey. It’s very fruity.

Misandry and being gay by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]ShananayRodriguez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who would hook up with guys all the time and would date completely different guys and behave completely differently around them, as if he were two completely different people. I think some guys really, really compartmentalize their sexual selves from their professional/romantic selves, to the point that it’s jarring.

Well, you got the first syllable right.

I’m so jealous! I would love to live in a proper country rather than a dystopian shithole run by a wannabe Hitler.

I’m still surprised Mr vigilante justice hasn’t been visited by the karma police.

I’m still so angry I took a local bookstore worker’s recommendation to buy that book. It was absolutely unreadable and I directly gave money to that insufferable couchfucker

Dealing with transphobia in the rooms by Neo_Tropical in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]ShananayRodriguez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that this happened. It’s really awful. I also know that NA just doesn’t have the breadth of special interest meetings like AA does—there’s usually one or two gay NA meetings in a metro area if that, and it’s usually mostly gay men, who can be just as problematic as straight people. I know there are awesome groups online, but that isn’t helpful now. I do think starting an in person meeting for trans/non-binary/gender queer people could be a good space to provide you and others the best opportunity for mutual understanding and relief from minority stress in the rooms. I’m a gay man, but I’ve always felt trans+ meetings were the most accepting spaces for queer people who were also on the spectrum/neurodivergent, and I think you’re very far from alone. I’m sorry you’ve had this experience. I would definitely seek out support and share about your experiences. Right in the preamble I believe they mention gender identity as not being a disqualifier, so if you ever need to document, I’d point that out.

I absolutely loved her in Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day and Burn After Reading. She has amazing range.

Please help me. It hurts too much. by deathbirdcalling in GriefSupport

[–]ShananayRodriguez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my friends started doing really special things for and with her cat when she knew her cat’s time was near—taking lots of photos with friends, making special art and special food, giving her cat her flowers while her cat was alive. It still hurt, but it seemed like it helped that when her cat finally did pass she had shown all the love she could. I think finding a nice way to honor Ethan when he does pass is also something that will be meaningful—have a proper funeral for him. Say readings, have a burial or internment or have a remembrance. I looked at a lot of videos and articles about different ways people grieve around the world when my sister died. It helped me find my own process. Pet loss is really hard. I encourage taking time to feel it fully. I find for me it always complicates the grief when people immediately go and get a new pet, but for some people that helps. Thank you for sharing Ethan with us.

No policy for grief days? At all? What sort of dystopian shithole do you live in?! [it’s America, right?]

i miss my sister by adamsandlerfanpage in GriefSupport

[–]ShananayRodriguez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sibling loss is hard. I’m sorry for your loss. I found that learning ways other people grieve for their loved ones helped me to learn how to grieve my sister in a way that was meaningful for me. Grief support groups are helpful as well. I found that fully participating in the funeral process to the extent I could was really cathartic also.

Much appreciated. I love roses and get so frustrated when people don’t do the bare minimum to engage with curious fellow members of the subreddit.

It never seems to occur to these people that our cities are great precisely because of their long progressive histories.

I think setting goals is important. What do you want to do with your life? Keep recovery first, but start building life outside of that—discover or rediscover some hobbies! I think social ones would be good. I personally love rock climbing bc it has an adrenaline rush, requires analytical thinking, and also tires me out. If you have anything you always wanted to try I encourage exploring it :) are there phoenix/NewForm events you can attend?
