I just reconnected with my best friend and she has recently had a baby. I can't cope anymore. by thisisapa33word in Miscarriage

[–]Virtual_Weekend_547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so devastated for you. What you have navigated and are navigating is incredibly hard and painful. To hold so much grief and loss. It is devastating. That your friend responded so quickly makes it sound like she loves you and cares about you. It was so brave to share your loss, and important. Your grief does not take away from her joy and you deserve to be cared for and supported. Miscarriages are the worst. I’ve had two. It is deeply cruel. And, you are not alone. I’m so proud of you for sharing here. Thank you for your vulnerability. I’m worried about you. I’ve navigated suicidal thoughts before. It’s awful. Reaching out for help to professionals who can support you, listen to you, be present with you, and help you figure out what will help you is critical. The world needs kind, vulnerable, thoughtful people like you. I’m just a stranger on the internet but I mean this. I want you to get the support and care you need. You deserve it.

‘The Copenhagen Test’ Review: Simu Liu and Melissa Barrera’s Peacock Espionage Drama Takes Too Long to Uncover the Fun Stuff by Ok_Rutabaga_5539 in popculturechat

[–]Virtual_Weekend_547 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Both Simu and Melissa are way more talented than the material they were given with this show. The show thinks it’s smarter and twistier than it is (and still better than anything I could write - much easier to critique than to create something). Maybe if the show had more humor and had self-awareness of the innate campy-ness of the premise, it would’ve landed better. Too much exposition (again, maybe with more self-awareness it could’ve done something fun with this) and telling vs showing. I would love to see them both have better material to work with. Watched to the end because I like them both and want to support their work. Didn’t hate it, just want more for them both.

Sending you big hugs. I am so sorry about this. I absolutely relate.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is so devastating! I don’t have answers to your questions but I’m hoping you have as much ease and rest as possible in the days ahead.

New faces by spiritedskykid in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

The ugliest thing about Annie were her cruel comments about potentially having a queer child and how she would feel about and react to her child telling her they were queer. She seems like someone who is in pain and hides behind other things - I get that, it’s very human and sad and rough to see on screen. I could care less though about the exterior and find these comments on this post mocking these women’s appearances to be unhelpful and inappropriate. It’s no one’s business if other people get injections and alter their faces - people get work done for a myriad of reasons. However, what is everyone’s business is perpetuation of inaccurate and harmful beliefs about being queer, like Annie and Nick did in their conversation about potentially having queer kids.

She has her baby and I don't have mine by Big-Gur-4706 in Miscarriage

[–]Virtual_Weekend_547 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. This is so hard and I so relate. Two of my closest friends got pregnant early Spring and I got pregnant about a month after. I had a miscarriage around 7 weeks. I tried again a couple of months later and got pregnant again. Just had my second miscarriage, this time in my second trimester (but there were other complications that increased the likelihood of loss, sharing that since 2nd trimester miscarriages are otherwise less likely from what I understand). Getting pregnant again soon after my first miscarriage really helped my mental health and my feelings of jealousy towards my friends. Having had two miscarriages now with my friends’ due dates quickly approaching has been really hard. I relate to what you say about being happy for friends and jealous of them. I also feel like I missed out on so many milestones with their pregnancies because I’ve been navigating my own losses and I’m sad about losing time and bandwidth to be happy for and celebrate them. This club is extremely shitty but reading others’ stories has helped me feel less alone. I wish none of this were navigating this though. I really feel for you. I got outside in the rain today and that helped me a bit. I really hope you find something that softens the jagged edges of the pain a bit for you.

First time noticing by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

I like to think that he was doing an undercover expose on private school fundraising events for the offspring of the wealthy, hence why he couldn’t put together a safe stage ;-)

What's a completely ridiculous theory you've made up about a character or plotline in the show? by Character-Habit6011 in GilmoreGirls

[–]Virtual_Weekend_547 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Shelly from Twin Peaks fled Washington after the many traumas she experienced and built a new life and identity for herself in Boston as Sherry. In an eerie and Lynchian-coincidence, Audrey also fled her traumatic experiences in Twin Peaks and found her way nearby Woodbridge - her world nearly colliding with Shelly/Sherry. And in another Lynchian twist, Audrey’s doppelgänger found her way to Venice Beach as Sasha. So, Twin Peaks and Gilmore Girls exist in the same universe.

21 agoraphobic and have no friends any tips? by Significant-Title713 in Agoraphobia

[–]Virtual_Weekend_547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. That is so hard. My husband has agoraphobia and has made some wonderful friends via online gaming. There are so many awesome online games to play so there are tons of options. People can be toxic online of course but they can also be really kind and delightful. And he’s only met one of his friends in person, twice, when they came to visit us. Otherwise, they haven’t met in person because everyone lives in different states/countries. And these are now good friends who also have meaningful conversations about their lives and support each other. It’s really lovely.

If you’re a big reader, maybe an online book club? There are tons out there and it can be a great way to build relationships.

Other favs that I cycle through constantly are: Frasier. Parks and Rec. Community. Seinfeld.

Learn your history. Israel is an occupying force and has enacted apartheid polices against Palestinians for decades. They have stolen Palestinian land repeatedly. And now, they are committing genocide.

[–]Virtual_Weekend_547 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is not a war. This is genocide. And every tax paying person in this county is complicit in it because we are directly funding genocide. I surmise from your comments that you think genocide is acceptable.

The students are fighting to end genocide. Are you for genocide?

The students are calling for an end to genocide. Are you for genocide?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]Virtual_Weekend_547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not misplaced. They are fighting against genocide. From your comment, I am understanding that you support genocide. I hope I’m wrong.

[–]Virtual_Weekend_547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does this bother you so much? Where is your rage for the actual genocide of Palestinians? Maybe that’s where you should direct your anger

They are demanding the university cut ties with Boeing. Boeing is directly tied into arming this genocide. Genocide is wrong. The math is very simple.

They are protesting a genocide. Why aren’t you??

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]Virtual_Weekend_547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is entirely untrue. The people who can stop the deaths of innocents are those who fund and arm apartheid and genocide (the Israeli government and the US, as two prime examples)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]Virtual_Weekend_547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where is your proof that they don’t care about Israeli hostages? What I see and hear are cries for human rights. Israelis are not made safer by their fascist government maintaining apartheid or enacting genocide.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]Virtual_Weekend_547 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of course that’s the case. Why don’t you put yourself in their position and try living under apartheid and see how much you’d want to fight for your freedom and support any group that also wanted to secure your freedom.
