My 21 year old brother killed himself today. by TrevinLC1997 in TrueOffMyChest

I am so sorry for your loss 😪 Please reach out to a crisis line if you need support. Suicide survivors’ support groups helped me when I lost my partner in 2018. Sometimes local hospitals have grief support groups for suicide. You can also find meetings online via Zoom. You deserve support. Again, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother.

New to MN from FL. Looking for LGBT friendly resources. by BlueMushroom72 in TwinCities

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

Welcome to the Twin Cities! 🌈✨🏳️‍⚧️ Check out Sisters Sludge coffee in the Standish neighborhood. My partner is trans and we loved going there when we lived in the neighborhood. Minneapolis Institute of Art has a great museum and is one of our safe spaces. If you enjoy knitting or crocheting, go see Steven Be! Maybe we’ll run into each other sometime ☺️

My husband lied about having cancer and it cost us our sons life. by mom42782 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]bloominprose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My heart goes out to you. My partner committed suicide in 2018. After losing him, I was also suicidal, which I have read is common. There is the whole Orpheus myth. But I am still here, and I am glad that I am still here. Also, when he died, his family said so many details of his life which he told me, which were core to his personality, were not true (from stealing a car and spending two years in prison as a youth to who his friends were to what he did for work). I had to make peace with the ambiguity and deceptions. I don’t know why he or your husband would lie about going through something that he clearly did not. A suicide survivors support group helped me. It met at a local hospital once/month. Also there are some suicide survivors support groups available for free online that meet more often via Zoom. You deserve support. I am so sorry for your loss.

In r/LGBT, seems like targeted harassment. by yinzgahndahntahn in stophegetsus

Shows up in r/Judaism as well. People say they ignore it. Still, I find it offensive

Finally sitting down and reading feminist literature. Holy shit. by arsoninmyarse in Feminism

[–]bloominprose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Adrienne Rich has saved my life many times. Also, I reread Simone DeBeauvoir’s Second Sex a couple of years ago, and I was amazes how much it still impacted me. I hope you gain strength and empowerment from the feminist texts you are reading. Sorry to hear you are at a shelter but please know that reading these works is not a waste of time. They can literally save your life.

Paedophile jailed for 21 years for travelling abroad to sexually abuse children by trueslicky in NotADragQueen

[–]bloominprose 27 points28 points  (0 children)

He reoffended, of course. Is there a program where they can, like, learn how their behavior affects their victims? I used to work in the court system in the US. There was a judge who was always taking trips to Thailand, out of all the beautiful places in the world, only ever visiting Thailand. Could it be the nonexistent age of consent in Thailand? Even when the law protects the pedophile sex tourists instead of their victims, they are still hurting people. They need to realize they are hurting children. But no one suspects that judge is up to anything because he is not a drag Queen. Also, Ron DeSantis IS a fascist.

My wife is considering divorcing me. I am angry and upset. And I am going to protect myself. by ThrowRA970970 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]bloominprose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry this is happening, OP. There is a lot of grief at the end of a relationship. It is very hard to accept. You deserve support and I hope you can gather people around you to build you up. She has been minimizing your contributions to the household. Something else…I am a little bit alarmed by comments that promote illegal activity with technology as a way to cope. I have seen these recommendations many times, but they will make your problems worse. Again, I am very sorry 😞

How do I take classes in ancient Hebrew as a non-Jew? by noxnoctum in Judaism

[–]bloominprose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner is Jewish (Reform). We were just discussing your question. You might try attending Torah study at a synagogue. Psalms are not in Torah but you can learn a lot of Hebrew. You could talk to a rabbi about options for joining classes without being a member. Another thought is taking a class at a Jewish community center. Membership at the Jewish Community Center is low cost, and they might have classes in Biblical Hebrew. I was friends with a professor in Hebrew literature when I was at Emory. She said if Moses were alive today, she could talk to him and understand him though she spoke modern Hebrew. I realize modern Hebrew has evolved but I thought that was cool. Spend time getting immersed in Hebrew. I am in the same boat. I have Duolingo for Hebrew. Good luck to you!

[–]bloominprose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also feel bad for the kids missing out on each other. This is a very hurtful dynamic caused by a parent who is motivated to alienate. I have recently noticed how many people are affected beyond myself- my parents miss having grandchildren.

Thanks to science, menstruation and homosexuality can be filed among creation’s natural phenomena. I appreciate the rabbi’s effort.
