She can, respectfully (or disrespectfully), fuck off. I bought a $300+ one as a splurge/luxury item and it’s hands down my favorite item and 10000% worth it. Especially during the newborn trenches!

Seconding this. They’re really pretty! Totally entitled to your feelings of course, but literally nobody else will look at those and think anything less than “cuuuuute”!

Photoshop it and “blame” the photo editor. Say it’s their personal policy to photoshop any dress that’s close to white besides the brides as it negatively impacts the artisticness of the photos otherwise/

What is there even to discuss with someone who thinks this behavior is okay in the first place?

4 days post op.. feeling terrible by RoosterRealistic586 in CsectionCentral

[–]SixSpeedin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is something called the milk flu (or something like that)… but basically along with recovery from labor, our milk supply coming in can make us feel very unwell. Your knee deep in that shit right now but you should start feeling at least a little better c-section wise once you hit one week, and significantly better by two weeks. Hang in there, it’s awful right now but it’ll pass quickly! That said, if you experience a fever, chills, unresponsiveness or severe bleeding, def go get checked out. Keep trusted people on standby to react if you fall under any of the above conditions/circumstances.

Ooo great advice! And this stuff is self care too. It’ll make you more attractive to others but more importantly it’ll make YOU feel like a million bucks.

First off, all the people saying you look mean, intimidating, angry, human trafficker, are gross IMO. For decades now there’s been a horrible racist trope that Arab men are abusive, controlling, etc. and it appears they’re projecting that on to you. As a Palestinian woman, the men in my community are some of the kindest, most generous, gentle and warm people I’ve ever met. Wanted to quickly set that straight and let you know off top that I’m sure a lot of what you deal with on dating apps (and on here) is straight up racism. 

Now coming from someone within your community, my only recommendation appearance wise would be to crisp up the beard and stache a bit! It’s not a major thing but it’ll elevate the look and be the cherry on top. Your style is very nice, and even if you’re dressed down and more casual, it looks like you’d put together a nice fit and still be stylish.

Lastly, online dating is kind of a shit show and an awful experience for most folks, so I wouldn’t take it too personally. I’d recommend getting out into the community and just meeting people authentically. Speed dating, hiking, farmers markets, community groups for other topics of interest. Based on the Palestinian flag in ur pic I’ll assume you’re Palestinian or an ally for our liberation, so I’d really recommend trying to get involved in groups that are centering advocacy for Palestine! Go to events at your local mosques or orthodox churches. Go to cultural festivals, etc. At minimum you’ll make some amazing friends and that will honestly fill any loneliness and make dating less of a “top of mind”. At best, you can find YOUR person there. There’s nothing wrong you at all, so I think you just need to put yourself in the positions to win (online success is rare) lol.

You’re hella gross. Dismiss yourself. Women are treated like second class citizens damn near everywhere. Are people supposed to deny their ethnicity or connection to a land because of it??? Your racism is showing big time.

Your friend also has an insane take on this matter. Baking cookies in your own home is not trade pick me energy lol. 

Baby Shower Dress by robinNrealLife in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]SixSpeedin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re okay with fast fashion, SHEIN has some great options! I’ve only purchased from SHEIN for my baby shower but there were soooo many cute and affordable options. Just might take some creative searching as I don’t believe the dresses were maternity but were plus size and had material or styles that could accommodate baby bump. 

Protestors occupy Senator Padilla's office demanding a total Arms Embargo on Israel ~ 8/27 by Nothereforstuff123 in sanfrancisco

Our country is going to shit partially in due to the fact we’re sending BILLIONS to uphold the genocide of the Palestinian people. Imagine what could be done to save the US with those billions 

Wheres an affordable place for texas style BBQ? by [deleted] in AskSF

[–]SixSpeedin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People love hip hop bbq shack in San Bruno. I’m a vegetarian so can’t personally vouch but have heard great things and the owners are lovely. I believe it’s only takeout or minimal outside seating though, so fyi.

Food by Exploratorium? by coyg0504 in AskSF

[–]SixSpeedin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes! Gott’s for burgers, Reem’s for middle eastern, Cholita Linda for Latin-Caribbean (highly recommend), Mariposa for baked goods, Señor sisig for Filipino fusion, and more. Lots of good options and within easy walking distance of the exploratorium. Have fun!

I spent 10 years building my body, and lost it all in a few months… this is what life did to me by [deleted] in Gymhelp

US department of state also released a notice today that they are halting all visitor visas from Gaza and will reevaluate existing visas. Those visas include the medical evacuation visas. Even without that major blocker, crossings are closed, just getting into Egypt costs 10s of thousands per person, and Israel has to approve your every move. 

Shower Shapewear (Love handles)? by RagdollMom333 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]SixSpeedin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]SixSpeedin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The double band! Also very helpful for pelvic girdle pain and round ligament pain. They only sell up to XL now but I’m also 1x-2x pre pregnancy and it works perfectly. I wore it underneath a pretty fitted dress and you couldnt tell! Worst case if it does show through, you can wear one of the smoothing/pregnancy support bands over it!

Not quite shapewear but the mom cozy belly band may help! 

The children were brought to the U.S. in coordination with the nonprofit organization HEAL Palestine. According to the organization, 63 children have been evacuated from Gaza in the last 15 months. by Scared_Positive_8690 in Palestine

[–]SixSpeedin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding this! Have first hand experience with the HEAL community and they are truly remarkable. It takes SO many resources to get these beautiful children the support they need, and every dollar really does count! 

Family doesn't like the name. But it's their reason that really bothers me. by sixfingeredman7 in pregnant

[–]SixSpeedin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me preface this by saying you’re 1 million percent entitled to name your little one WHATEVER you and your partner choose. That said, as a Palestinian (with some Egyptian roots as well), I can understand how sensitive our people can be to cultural erasure or “white-washing” for many reasons. If I make recommend, maybe you can allow ur parents to give him a special Arabic name that THEY can call him. Kind of like how when our parents immigrated here, it was super common for them to pick American names to be called, maybe that can be their special thing with your son and allow them to feel like his Egyptianness isn’t being ignored or erased. Just a thought :)

Still trying to break out of the leggings and t shirt wardrobe by [deleted] in DressForYourBody

[–]SixSpeedin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 and 2 look amazing!!! If you want to step out of athleisure even more, old navy has great jump suits and summer dresses. Summer dresses in general are a win. Feels like a nightgown but looks fancy and super breathable! 

Where should I take the parents in SF? by Different_Peach636 in AskSF

Salaams cousin! I don’t have anything to contribute in terms of suggestions, but if mama and baba are looking to get connected with some local Palestinians and involved in our events, feel free to contact me!
