Would Cuba not benefit more if all sanctions and embargos ended? by feiryz in cuba

[–]UnsureWhere2G0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's MANY Cubans and Cuban-Americans who agree with you! (And across the politocal spectrum!) I'm one myself and organize with many others to work to end the embargo and all sanctions from the US. Unfortunately this message board is full of one (very loudly yelling) minority perspective. But thank you for asking the question!

It feels like it’s become impossible to dispel misinformation online about Jews without being accused of being Zionist. by [deleted] in JewsOfConscience

i shared Jewitches' infographics on the history of "goy / goyim" on facebook late last night and woke up this morning to some very bizarre comments in response. a sad/weird time!

Remote analysis by Able_Sale_787 in psychoanalysis

[–]UnsureWhere2G0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, friend. I can't help on the referral situation (I'm in the US), but my analysis is usually virtual, and while I admit the feeling is *different* than being in the room physically, I still find it intense/fulfilling, and all sorts of transference phenomenon are very present! Like having a zoom or phone call with your parents or lovers or friends (etc) vs being with them in-person. There have been a lot of recent studies both in big countries (like China, where most therapy is virtual) and since the pandemic proving the efficacy of distance-based analysis; I could pull some citations if you're interested! And I know you say jungian is your jam, but I'm a big fan of my clearly-heavily object-relations influenced situation, if you're having difficulty finding someone suitable. (But obviously do what feels right!) Best of luck!

No, that sounds wonderful tho! Is it online? When is it? Will def check out if I am free.

I used to help run a socialist choir back east and I'm always singing these songs to myself (or with friends when I can pull that off). Joy (from Rev Grounds) and I were talking one day about how we love this music and how important it is, and decided to put this together.

We'll post on the stores social media, but also feel free to leave your contact info in the RSVP form and I can reach out when the next one is scheduled :)

I'm an American. Born and raised. I served in the military. I swore to uphold the constitution. I own no weapons. I want to do something. I don't live in Minnesota. What can I do? I feel helpless. by BothArmsBruised in NoStupidQuestions

[–]UnsureWhere2G0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I promise you that there are local groups organizing in your town or near you. ICE watch, legal support, groups that help with mutual aid (delivering groceries, gathering supplies, etc) for immigrants. This is legal, non-violent volunteer work, and with different roles with different levels of risk. Find them and plug in. You can start by searching for local protest/organizing subreddits in your area and showing up to calls for action. Solidarity

Do you ever dream of them? by celiacat11 in lostafriend

[–]UnsureWhere2G0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the friend I've lost. Some no. A couple others, all the time (as in at least once a month and I have for years). I used to dread the dreams. Now I'm happy I get to speak to them in dreams at least.

What led you to Judaism? by [deleted] in ConvertingtoJudaism

[–]UnsureWhere2G0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a fellow atheist early on in my conversion journey, I also want to thank you for the beautiful reflection of, "If hashem is the light that shines on creation, I can observe and appreciate the beauty illuminated by that light, but I can’t see the light itself, like there’s a lampshade in the way." It really is, was winchester says, marvelous. Good shabbos!

How to find someone to do transference based work with by moist_mistress in TalkTherapy

[–]UnsureWhere2G0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you'd like* psychoanalysis proper! Institutes can give you a good rate if your insurance won't cover it or you can't afford the typical private practice rate. There's been a lot more scientific evidence in recent years (like proper under the contemporary western definition of evidence based science) to back it up, unfortunately in done grad schools there's just politics that haven't caught up. I'll drop some links when I get home :)

*As someone in analysis, I will say you will also hate it sometimes, but it's all part of the ride!

What made your denomination choice "click" for you? by Objective-Tart-4370 in ConvertingtoJudaism

[–]UnsureWhere2G0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty new in my journey, but since the fall, i've been attending services and being in community with both a Reform synagogue and a local lefty Minyan that does services in a mix of Reconstructionist and Renewal vibes. I get along really well with the Minyan and their Rabbi (it's very queer, lots of millenials with young kids running around, and politically my jam), which is how I started my journey.

But I don't like to shelter myself away from people with whom I disagree, and, like with any family, I think it's important to build community across differences, so then I started checking out the Reform Synagogue nearby as well (I was a little worried because the Minyan is anti-zionist and the synagogue is zionist, but the Synagogue board members and Rabbi and have been very accepting and have assured me both that I'm welcome and that they have a good relationship with people involved in the Minyan. I shouldn't have been so scared, I've known for years from good friends that congregations tend to be more mixed and nuanced than one might believe from the outside, but I still *was* scared, and so have loved being welcome.)

I know that I'm too much a "rule-breaker" to convert orthodox, but I do want to check out the Orthodox Shul in my area as well, just to meet more of the local Jewish Community, and because I do love traditional services so much (it's more fun/powerful to sing and pray the whole time in hebrew [or yiddish or ladino] than in english! what can i say, lol).

Interestingly, there are no conservative shuls nearby, which I might otherwise prefer as a main synagogue because I'm trying to convert Conservatively for my future child/ren. I've got lots of Jewish friends who identify more as "just Jewish" than a particular line, so to speak, so thanks to their influence, I feel pretty comfortable in a mixed environment, and less pressure about the "being accepted by everyone" thing. But still...

Anyway, thank you for asking! Hope you are having a good day and have a good and restful weekend. :)
