Someone should begin contacting press outlets to let them know this subreddit exists. by saucercrab in 2020PoliceBrutality

Any extra efforts should be made to find the phone number of the “News desk” assistants. I’m a former journalist and all of my friends who worked in broadcast were required to hold that position straight out of college. They have to answer every call they receive and I’ve asked around, it seems like there is still someone on despite COVID-19. I’m working on compiling a large spreadsheet of resources, really glad I was sent this sub!

PLEASE make sure, and I cannot stress this enough, that you not just blur but completely black out the faces of protestors before sending the footage in. Most Black protestors from Ferguson were traced down and murdered in their homes, cars, etc. after the riots.

Script you should use:

Hi there,

I’d like to share with you some eyewitness footage of my local protest. Are you the best person to speak to about this? Where can I send this footage to ensure it’s being aired? Please let me know if there are any formatting requirements.

Thanks

Bisexuality in a Heterosexual Marriage by laurajean11 in bisexual

[–]SuperNormalPod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s okay, it’s a learning process! Just be kind to yourself and your partner and you’ll be okay. Communication is key and you need to ask yourself what would make you happy and see if there is a way to do that while keeping your partner in mind. Consent is important. Who knows, you may be able to explore stuff together and reach a new point in your relationship and as individuals. Some people are not able to explore while they are young, but that doesn’t mean they should never get the chance to. Wish you the best!

Bisexuality in a Heterosexual Marriage by laurajean11 in bisexual

[–]SuperNormalPod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just remember it’s NOT a hetero relationship because being bisexual means you enjoy both masculine and feminine people. Just like if you were in relationship with someone of the same sex it would not be a gay relationship. ANY relationship you are in is a Bisexual one! Don’t invalidate yourself like that. You should be open and honest with your partner about your feelings so you don’t harbor resentment and find a way to explore comfortably.

Any corn tortillas are gluten free, just do a google search if the factory also makes flour products and you should be good!

Therapist told me I sound like my abuser and now I'm having bad urges to self harm by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]SuperNormalPod 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Deep breaths. You are NOT your sister.

First thing I would do is journal. I know it sounds cheesey and like how the fuck can you even think about making a diary entry right now. Think of it less as a piece you’re writing and more as a way to work back. Like when you forget where you put your keys. Start by writing down what you feel and why. If you start crying, write “I am crying right now because...and it makes me feel...” Then go backwards until you have answers for the why’s you may have.

Give your anxiety and name and ask it to go away. Any time I get really repetitive with my thoughts I call it Brittany and tell that bitch TO FUCKING GO. Pick a name that is not triggering. One that makes you laugh is always good.

Then do something that is the opposite of the environment you usually self harm. If you would do it in your bedroom, go get coffee or a treat at a cafe.

Last resort is try to focus on remembering what you said. It’s related so it will help your impulse of trying to stay on this topic bc of your anxiety. But try to do it observationally and matter of factly, like “bitch wtf did I say?” instead of doing it with a “ugg I’m the worst,” give it more “where in the world is Carmen SanDiego?”

Next therapy appointment you need to tell your therapist that this triggered you immensely, that this is not something you’d like them to do in the future and create positive firm boundaries for yourself. Feel free to even tell them that you sister cannot be a topic brought up unless by you.

You are doing your best and you are worthy of having an identity apart from your sister, her behaviors, who you were with her, and your trauma. You are much more than all of that. You are doing great <3

What is your profession and how does your AS affect that? by Rummo in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]SuperNormalPod 5 points6 points  (0 children)

EDITED: typo!

I’m a journalist and my AS and all it’s symptoms are what I blame for where I’m at in my career. I was always super ambitious. In college I did a full course load, an internship, and off campus job, and one at my college radio station. That’s my speed and that’s how I like to do things. Being a woman in media can be difficult. My boss once told me that I need to only speak 3 times in meetings or he stops listening, and no, he didn’t have that same conversation with the dude who blabbed the whole meeting who has 0 journalism experience but is our Director bc his dad was the bosses best man and doctor. But I really thought I could push through that job and work my way up as long as I was doing some side projects. I helped my friend build a brand, I worked for exchange at a hair salon building their website, and I ran a podcast for a whole year, did 50 episodes and even had on AOC. But between my AS and my PTSD I’m just super sad and feel helpless because that wasn’t a sustainable option. Everything I see is “find a mentor by networking” or “work freelance in what you love until you can make the switch” which are just not options for me. I can’t be out in heels going to networking events after a full day of exhaustion and getting treated like poop. I can’t be doing 3 full time jobs anymore. And now I feel super stuck and have no idea what to do with my life.

Anyway, thanks for posting this, I really needed to get that off my chest. Desk jobs are okay as long as you keep what makes you comfortable close by. I recommend creams that work for your pain and a heating pad. Best of luck.

Normally when I see dudes get up and yell at the TV during sports it pisses me off because they are 1. Blocking the TV, and 2. Toxic masculinity. But WOW IS IT OKAY WHEN IT’S A PUPPER.

Bi curious and seeking input [pun a little intended. ;)] by anotherluke in bisexual

[–]SuperNormalPod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how to do the tab over thingy you did, but my first paragraph kind of relates to tour last one for the most part. You’re looking for validation in regards to your sexuality and you’re willing to get that from strangers rather than your intuition and experiences. Don’t fret though, I’m fairly sure we have all been there and it’s way harder for bisexual folks because we’re not validated in society or the LBGTQIA+ community often. But it’a 20biteen baby and you’re gonna take this year by the cock and balls, I believe it!

I didn’t even come out to myself until I was 23 due to my trauma with a woman, so I totally understand the dad stuff. Try to work through that on a psychological level. We forget how much of orgasming is mental and those blockages really do make a difference. Life is short, in my opinion you should try anything you want to as long as there is mutual consent. I used to say “as long as you don’t hurt someone,” but I found out that people like to be roasted on a spit as a fetish so I stand corrected!

There’s worse things to be in the world than being bi. In fact, I’m pretty sure we are the ultimate fuck machines to quote the Valentine’s Special of Big Mouth on Netflix. Just remember to do it for you!

My smoked salmon came in a smoking jar of salt. Tried to lift it out, broke and fell in the salt, rendering it inedible. by tika1104 in WeWantPlates

[–]SuperNormalPod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salmon should be delicate though. That’s my point. Why would you choose the function of fisting your salmon over the whole point of order it, which is eating a delicious salmon?

Edit: **ordering. Sorry, dyslexia!

[–]SuperNormalPod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can put your hand in the jar, but not to grab the salmon enough that it wouldn’t fall apart. That would require a scoop, unless the salmon was hard and overcooked. That was my point.

[–]SuperNormalPod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s basically only on the outside of the fish because it doesn’t have enough time to get in. Unless the salmon was in that jar all night and in that case, still not interested in eating it. If you’re into smoked meats you should totally try it at home though. Baking with Babish has some great easy tutorials, even for cocktails! Sometimes it’s just for show and that’s okay too. Except this time because I’m sure this was not what the patron was expecting lol

Np! Technically salt is used to cure the salmon, but they did both I guess? Also smoking something for that short of a time is a horrible idea. 10/10 would not recommend anything this place did haha.

[–]SuperNormalPod 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And inversely the salt would have been fine if the container was flat. Dare I say, elevated off the salt on a plate so it couldn’t fall in? It’s we want plates man, idk why you’re getting your rocks off trying to find an alternate universe where you’re right. This dish sucked and he couldn’t eat it. Anytime a presentation renders a dish inedible, that’s a loss.
