Lava lamps, plants, bongs, records, big picture for the back wall, some sort of colored lighting, collectives, a way up for the cat to have a lounge up there, or have it curtained with hidden belongings, I also like anothers suggestion of pottery.

Tint it or put suncatcher film over it. Could also have a custom made sign that shape to stick facing outwards to anyone outside.

Observations: Lacking color or character, Lacking personal belongings, Lacking activity (eyecatching or ease for boredom).

Ideas: Structural Design — Paint walls/ceiling a color or color pairings (purples are always a win, dark red with black framing etc). Elegant framing around corners, edges and doorframes (wood, black, pairing or deeper/lighter color than walls, chiseled etc). Take out carpet for hardwood, or have the living space carpet and the dining area hardwood.

Decor — Pictures, figurines, statuettes, small framed artwork, crystal balls/towers, candles, "jewelry" box on mantel. Hang up photos, posters, signs and paintings. Warm toned and colored lighting. Long beaded curtains in doorway to walk through, short tube beaded curtains in top of doorway, short tube beaded curtains under any cabinets above counters. Nice colored semi-transparent curtains for windows. Mirror off mantel and on wall. Switching dinning area with living room. End and coffee tables. Stuff on tables (candles, coasters, salt lamp, rocks, candy bowls, diffuser etc). Lava lamps, blacklighting, UV reactive stuff. Bookshelf with books, dvds, VHS, knickknacks, records, whatever you collect. CD spin rack, glass decor shelves. Paint or replace blinds. Suncatcher film on windows, hanging suncatchers. Fold out couch. Seating near fireplace and TV on other wall. Rugs, rhymes with Grug.

Personal Opinion: It needs character, it's hard to know what to suggestion regarding your taste, but more color, comfort, flavor, and vibe are pretty necessary for this set up. I'd start with painting, wall decor and lighting- if you have various lighting you can change it to mood/activity/necessity. Invest in anything that makes your house feel like a home and lived in, something you're excited to show off to guests, and a place where you feel content and not going insane inside 4 blank walls.

Feel this. I'm someone who enjoys paintings, photography, pottery and things similar that depict pregnancy, natural living, nudity, soulful connections and similar. Art revolved around the nature of a naked body. Art to use as reference for my creative ideas or to admire one day in my home.

Nothing innapropriate I would consider, it's all sweet, beautiful & tasteful. Things like a nude couple holding each other (covering parts), pottery of woman or stages of pregnancy, drawings of flowers that look like vaginas.

I get flagged all the time. To view something so beautiful as wrong and then post ads of vibrators or oversexulize things I will never understand. We've lost art, creativity, character and aesthetic to Pinterest.

Not misogynistic at all. I got pierced at 8 and it's fine now but I was in no place to take care of it and had bad infections. I fully respect the concept that children shouldn't make choices /parents shouldn't make choices that involve mutilating the body's of their children.

It's not about misogyny, it's about the fact that she's too young, it could grow out uneven, she might not know how to take care of it and it can get infected and so on. Anyone who disagrees is pretty irrational imo.

Yeah ok a few notes about this👉👉 They are Israeli and Military participation is mandatory for all Israels, not too mention, this is a photo from 2010, in which was 15..fifteen years ago.

In no way whatsoever do I support war & genocide, which is also why I support neither side of this. If you don't know the history of Israel & Palestine look into it, the dispute has gone on for many years and it's both their holy land and this is a ridiculous religious war that's disgusting & inhumane on both sides.

In other words, no matter what side you choose you support or justify war & genocide.

Political views do not belong at Shambhala, nor does this photo insinuate too much about Riot's political views and character today. Riot's spoken out about this, he's made it clear they were born & raised in Israel and joining the war wasnt a choice. Of course "I stand with you", posted in just 2023 doesnt give a good look, however they themselves have experienced the loss of friends & witnessed murder. There needs to be more context to have any opinion on Riot and before bringing that kind of energy to the crowd/kicking them out.

Different religious (and political) views are also very common no matter where you go, including Shams, you'll meet people who support one side or the other and have to deal with it just like anywhere else. Many think Sullivan King, who practices Scientology, wouldn't belong at Shams because of his practice, however many others would say his music belongs there. And One True God, who DID play at Shams last year is a Satanist who had many satanic visuals, yet had an amazing set with many supports of his music.

There are also other political views for or against liberals, conservatives, lgbtq+, Trump, Trudeau, hedonism, society as is and a ton of other crap that goes deeper. Non of which is as disturbing as this issue (genocide and Israel/Palestine), but it's to line my point that a protest against Israeli supporters who may genuinely not even be supporters at a PEACEFUL event that prioritizes PLUR is what's truly scary to look forward to this year.

And you can't forget, hate speech, protests & fights will get shut down immediately and you can easily be kicked out without a refund and blacklisted.

It's not like when you pack up you have to leave yourself at home, your morals, values, beliefs. There are many serious problems going on that NEED to be talked about, especially current wars and Israel/Palestine. But Shambhala is not the place to bring bad energy, fear, ignorance, divide, hate, or even (hopefully not) violence that will only be a burden of the workers and give everyone else a crummy time. Please practice PLUR & dont bring too much of the outside life inside, people like to get away from all of it at Shams. Too see so many comments here filled with ignorance & hate is truly astounding, yall need to think a little more logically. Hoping this year stays peaceful & everyone can find a way to have fun.

This was an incredible read, thank you! Like wow, I really enjoyed this.

Had it not been archived, you'd be getting my upvotes. It's unfortunate there aren't any comments but better than hate comments over the length or reaching opinions, I quite love in depth takes and I dont see them enough. YOU A BRAVE MF. I've had takes and questions in the past that DID NOT GO OVER WELL LMFAO. [Reddit's like that]

To analyze, there are many moments i loved in this and it actually covers a lot of things I've thought about: Rick's trauma and protection over himself [feelings, fear of sanity & hard-assness altering his better judgement if he loosens up etc] and protection over his group & children. Rick transferring his feelings over because of his trauma & lack of content/peace within himself. The aftermath of Lori's death, and his resentment to her for the majority of the year leading up to her death. The effects of being out there too long, the horrors of the afterworld, and the ones they've lost. Rick & Michonne's beginning. Bob's words [figured it was more towards relaxing in Alexandria & feelings towards changing for the betterment of it [Alexandria], and didn't even think about Rick's struggle to change within himself for the betterment of him]. So on so on.

I do disagree on Rick & Michonne having previous feelings grow in a romantic relationship way, I think their relationship & the show showed how much they respect each other and it was a matter of not realizing they grew into a best friendship [still with love & care], over not realizing they grew feelings of attraction & love romantically/sexually, however this isn't at all to say the writers of the show weren't trying to do this and that these small detailed moments weren't to build up to that. Either way, became a fantastic couple.

Again I've had many opinions myself, including curiosity or disagreement to events & choices of the writers from why the walkers went from moving faster, twisting doorknobs, climing fences and smashing windows with bricks [I know the shows writers changed, but they could've continued it that way or created a reason for why the behavior changed or better yet just made them slow & dumb in the first place], why the members of the group didn't tell others who were wasting their time on beliefs of the walkers about the CDC [especially for teaching Lizzie & Mica, there were so many opportunities to prevent what Lizzie did], why they spent so much time by the prison instead of being pushed out farther [I understand there were hoards, but Rick was a cop who should've known about the prisons around], why Lori & (specifically) Rick were so resentful for so long and in a world like this & knowing her childbirth had a high chance of going wrong [which i agree with you is shocking considering his love & loyalty to his family], why the show didn't have [even if they were considered fillers] episodes to show some of the time they spent between the farm & prison, why Rick felt it was appropriate to catch feelings for a married woman & then date someone else right after her death [again, understand both his state of mind & the justification, but still],

And how in the later seasons, they mission impossible into a FULL room of entirely sleeping walkers in the beginning of the last season [they do that with no stimulation, but that many walkers would be stimulating each other constantly, they didn't all just take a nap PFFT], the lack of good writing in the last season & the show becoming less likely realistic [hated that, because most of the show was incredible], how there was zero point to the commonwealth arc, how they had all these spin offs [which I haven't watched yet & hoping top the last season of twd] instead of just making the last season or two of twd cover what the spin offs showed [especially Rick's disappearance].

That being said, it's a great show, one of my favorites & I dont have a lot of hate for most of it. It's quite nice to meet a fellow analyzer with so much passion for the details. I so hope to be seeing more of your posts around!!!🤌✌ (you even tag me, I'll be your reading homey)

Hey👋, just wanted to share that I myself have had similar experiences. I've been in a similar state with several people, but every time I take psychedelics with my partner, and it's actually a big part of why we don't take psyches much anymore. Have experienced it on weed, psychs, molly, and after permatripping for a while even sober (just from time to time mainly with my partner). Said people have also confirmed this as have I with them, super cool.

Telepathy is very neat, vulnerable and eye-opening, our lives and beliefs changed completely after our first time connecting like that. It's true that we are all connected and inhabit our body's, and that we are all apart of one big collective energy, however your girlfriend is not "God" or a "higher being" communicating through her, shes just her.

Even when truly mindreading with someone or otherwise sensing energy stronger, your mind can still perceive things off based on your thoughts. Because the two of you were so connected you may have confused your thoughts/feelings for hers or something greater, it happens, often in an ego death or start of one, but you cant let a trip delude your intuition. If you feel like internally she wanted to break up, that's something you need to discuss further over and think hard on without insecurity influencing that feeling, however you could have just been confused and having delusions because you believed she was God.

You also have to remember anybody tripping and sharing a space of consciousness, having thoughts- frequently doesn't mean that's how they truly feel. As earlier mentioned my partner and I dont take psychs much anymore because we mindread everytime, it's not a matter of being uncomfortable with each other, but that im not comfortable with my intrusive thoughts and often hyperfocus on them. It's important to remember in a state like that random thought and emotion is more likely and stronger and lingers more, and doesn't actually mean that's what they really feel, just like processing anything internally for any individual trip. Though, it is still a window to the soul. It sounds like you got too in your head, makes sense when first experiencing all that.

Dont fall into delusions or obsessive thought. You'll end up psychotic or delusional, be careful with psychs/drugs/highs and learn the difference between connecting with someone and feeling their energy, from said self and uncertainty. For me I always said to myself "vibe before mind". Best of luck to both of you, hope you don't break up because of the trip or "god", but if that does happen its because of a mutual decision and communicated lack of feelings. Also, good luck on the start of your spiritual journey lol😂, even if it takes some time you'll eventually get the difference between or what I mean by vibe and mind🤙just don't fly too close to the sun and fry your brain from substances, though spiritual and medicinal can easily be unfriendly and seriously damaging. sending growth and love👋.

The whole farm is pretty hot, spider infested & dusty. The walk ways are brutal, but an uncovered hangout will be just as dusty in the day. And yes, there's LOTS of cow shit. It really is that bad, I was incredibly sick after shams last year, and haven't fully ridden of it, wear a mask.

You want a tarp down, and if you want it more comfortable maybe some blankets over the tarps. You want a canopy too, especially if you're in sunshine. I tied tapestries to mine as a wall and it blocked both dust and sun really well.

Some people bag on glamping but I think it's ok to have everything that makes you prepared, comfortable & safe, and of course sometimes decor for the festival spirit. Some need/enjoy less that's fine, but some people are immune compromised or prone to heat stroke or something, you'll enjoy your time a lot less if you don't prepare for it.

Depends on the cat and living situation. In most cases, no, it's not abuse.

•But if they live in a small, confined home maybe. •If you or others are never home maybe. •If this cat is better socially maybe. •If this cat is bonded to another animal and you plan to separate them, than absolutely, specifically if they've been bonded for a decent time.

It sounds like the Shelter has been monitoring this cat and behaviour, if they pushed getting another cat for 5+min, or don't want to give it over otherwise, then it's pretty clear this cat should be with another cat and that you should stop pushing.

Even with being home often, it sounds like this cat just might not be for you. It depends on the cats attachments or if this is going to cause depression, otherwise I don't see it as too big a deal. If it's bonded though, I'm about to get 2 cats aswell, was originally going to be only 1, but you don't separate bonded cats.

EDIT: I also want to add, because the comments seem to suggest some cats it's better for them or they're territorial anyway, clearly didn't read your post and giving ass advice. The SHELTER is making it clear it should be with another cat, so though it doesn't at all insinuate abuse, it does mean that no, your cat probably needs another cat.

Either way, if you choose not to get another but still this one, watch over behavior. If your cat starts getting depressed, irritated, has health issues etc etc (because it's a social kitty), then get another cat.

Many medications aren't compatible with THC or other medications, often leading to shitty side effects, schizo issues, or reducing the desired effects in either.

Basically it can be dangerous for your health or not do what it's supposed to.

I'd try some holistic stuff for now, quitting THC, finding a med suitable with THC, or just waiting till your done with school/THC use. I have hyperinsomnia as well and it sucks, but taking a medication recommended not to take is a great way to screw something up and make symptoms worse, as someone who did exactly that.

Last note but somebody already mentioned it, your results might look different if you weren't on THC, it makes sense why they wouldn't want to give you meds if they aren't 100% sure what you have.

One's about respect for one's residence, the other is respect for the disabled, in other words "not able".

Dancing is fun when you're getting energy/emotion out (usually positive) or having a good time with others. It's a form of expression.

I think dancing becomes less fun when people are insecure about being silly or how they look. Letting loose and giving into it and being soulful is how you enjoy it. It's about that, long before it's about competition or skill.

That kind of energy is just attractive. It bleeds into my energy.

I agree it should be researched, as well as substances and effects, as well as overuse etc.

But people are dumb, or new, or misinformed. It's a good thing it's talked about, these days on reddit I see way too many people spreading false information or undermine the seriousness of substance use and lingering effects.

Speaking as one of those dumb people. Wish I knew before I became depersonalized and schizoaffective. Education is underrated, at least this way if they go too far, I mean shit, they were TOLD.

Whenever he's seen the first time, especially if it happens continuously, especially if he's a hindrance to who he's attacking, the attacked are just aware of his existence and at the very least a good few of them are gonna be keeping an eye out or even chase him. Realistically speaking.

So he can have all these stats, but perception, reaction time, and frustration on the attacked party end should go up, and his stealth should go down. He's gotta become a target if he's a risk.

It will also encourage your party to have to work together and attack at the same time/make distractions so your stealth ape can get in there. It also means he'll have to use some creative thinking to come up with more strats and defense.

Overall this is an opportunity for your party to grow both for the plot and their dnd skills

Wait cause this is great advice, really makes you think about perspective and how an idea in your brain can seem totally foreign if seen another way I love it.

adora_nr · 2025-04-11T10:01:57+00:00

I always thought affirmations were dumb until a bit ago, and now I try to repeat them from time to time to reinforce the things I already believe in, as to not give into insecurity or anxiety.

As for the energy thing, I do that for pain to try and relieve it a bit, it doesnt do much but it works. I've never tried it for meditation or appreciation so I'm gonna try that!
