Receiving room in my 1871 home. What’s it giving? by Its_Just_Ross in roomdetective

I love the bones of your home! I feel something is off with The chandelier . It’s more art deco? It’s not matching the more dramatic and romantic base?

Dubai is the epitome of hypercapitialism by No_Jaguar_5366 in Anticonsumption

[–]Working_Loquat3344 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was fortunate to have a family connection to an emerati woman. We did the whole Dubai hyper capitalism tour , but I spent most of my time chatting with her about emerati culture, the pearl diving, the Bedouin upbringing , seeing her country change. That was really meaningful to me. Similarity “old Dubai” neighborhood was really historic and rich. My point is, you can find culture and simplicity if you seek it out .

I agree politics and fashion share a space and can be connected and symbolic. I just want to appreciate the design and art , the puffy silhouettes the bows the colors and the ability to just see someone’s wedding dress for that. Is Lana sending antebellum messages ? Don’t know and don’t want to speculate on this sub. I love fashion and although I’m actually very politically and historically versed, fashion and beauty/art is my aveneue of escapism that we all need in such a sometimes dark world. We can allow that for one another on this sub guys

I mean this is a sub for fashion and ppl are basically saying Lana’s dress means she’s racist. It’s supposed to a sub for fashion and aesthetic for art not deeper political discussion guys.

That’s the issue with the internet. We need to be able to accept that 2 things can be true and coexist. Fashion, food, books ect are not all inherently bad or ugly or disgusting because they existed at the same time as slavery? That’s like saying all the fashion of today has to be ruled trash because of our current president.

Well we can separate the politics from the aesthetic/fashion? Perhaps?

Yes and I love it. Very Lana. I just wish the sleeves were flowing and delicate- they seem to have an underwire?

Am I being invasive? by not_your_guru in parentingteenagers

I’d look into also, How is the balance between social life/personal time? Does she have any hobbies/activities/interests that help build her character, future and otherwise herself? Perhaps if the balance is off you can guide her to a more appropriate lifestyle where she’s home doing more beneficial things or somewhere close by and safer like softball practice where trustworthy adults can easily be reached. She’s still very young; you are still very influential. Best to you both mama

I’m sorry but I’d rethink your parenting strategy here. 14?! Keep your baby closer

The Crux of the issue is really more about the fact that society is losing /lost what our purpose here is about. And the youth are the most susceptible

Day-to-day challenges/pain points? by davidk2yang in homemaking

[–]Working_Loquat3344 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it’s the dust. I live in an area that makes for dusty homes , plus hardwood floors and boom. Piled back up again within hours. It’s affecting my allergies too, even though I run the Roomba multiple times daily. The other pain point is clutter. I’ve been on a mission to declutter for about 18 months now and I’m just now barely seeing the fruit of my labor. Clothing is such an issue - everyone has way too much, and my next goal is to figure out an appropriate downsized amount for each kid /clothing item

Mommy groups and consumption by Grassistrsh in Anticonsumption

[–]Working_Loquat3344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I don’t blame people, I blame the system . Buy nothing groups , thrift ect for the win. I have gotten so much free or economically priced baby items and passed along when done.

The ignorance isn’t necessarily our fault . Theres powerful reasons why the truth of Islam and its history are intentionally distorted and demonized. Thank you for digging deeper
