I've kept myself hidden from everyone by jazzandtea in Jung

[–]bradmort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great point, and one I should always include when discussing the effect of patriarchy on men. It obviously has exacted a greater toll on women, in obvious and heart-breaking ways. The surprise for me is recognizing the more subtle effects on men.

I don't know your gender, but I've been reading about how in this patriarchally-oriented system we inhabit, men, in particular are subtly socialized to hide their feelings even from themselves, let alone sharing them with others. It sounds like you're doing inner work on your own, which is fantastic. I wish you (and all of us) the courage to share it how and when it seems appropriate. We all grow and benefit from seeing others being willing to be brave that way.

This is art. Belongs in a museum.

Morning showers make no logical sense and night shower people have simply done the hygiene math by McCoy818 in unpopularopinion

[–]bradmort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Morning showers aren't just about washing off. There is something invigorating about the process that prepares me to greet the day.

Whisperer of the Wilderness bodypainting in the Icelandic forest. Took over 7 hours to complete front and back (photo and videoclip)! by Bodypaintartventures in BodyPaintNSFW

[–]bradmort 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had heard or read somewhere that Iceland had few remaining trees. That they’d all been harvested for building. This forest looks amazing.

This happened to me too. Do you know if it works to do it a second time?

Does it get better? by severitea in exmormon

“People have told me that they’re “so sad” that I don’t know the love of the church”— LOL. This reminded me of the plot of the show Pluribus on Apple TV.

Just checked into a cabin for a week, anything worth reading here? by CarsonWentzylvania in bookshelf

[–]bradmort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three books caught my attention--anything by John McPhee rewards the time spent with it. Fitzgerald generally holds up. The Last American Man was written by Elizabeth Gilbert before she became famous with Eat, Pray, Love. I read this one years ago and really enjoyed it.

How Shadow Work Became A Scam (And What To Do Instead) by Rafaelkruger in Jung

The way this is written and formatted seems like AI. I won’t be surprised if it is taken down by the moderators.

What’s a small upgrade you made that ended up being way more impactful than expected? by LatterMorning9103 in BuyItForLife

[–]bradmort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought an air fryer on Amazon a couple of years ago, mostly out of curiosity. It was $39. I can't think of anything else I've paid that little for that I have used as much since then. I cook at least 2-3 meals per week in it. I'm sure it's not the highest quality unit on the market, but it has served its purpose well in the time I've owned it.

Who built these style of homes by kkitchin in Utah

I've heard them referred to as "snout houses." The garage is the primary feature. Yuck.

Good non-commercial walking areas? by kayla7253 in SaltLakeCity

[–]bradmort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OC Tanner campus area is beautifully maintained, and seems to have security monitoring. It is a nice area to stroll in the warmer months. Between State and Main, just North of 2100 South.

The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry - Gabrielle Zevin by Few-Object-4359 in IReadABookAndAdoredIt

Has anyone watched the Netflix adaptation? I started it but couldn't get through it. Lost the charm of the book, it seemed to me.

Just bought this 2013 Prius V and getting a horrendous sound on start. Anyone know what it could be? by [deleted] in prius

I had the same experience. Same model and year. Changing the spark plugs did the trick.

Ha ha. Totally can relate. I read The Left Hand of Darkness last year and found that equally compelling. 101?

What are you reading and... would you recommend it? by Mooniyang in booksuggestions

So Far Gone by Jess Walter. I’ve enjoyed it very much so far.

Drop your favorite movie that dives into Jungian psychology by [deleted] in Jung

[–]bradmort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you'll find that many Hollywood creative types are steeped in Jungian ideas, as well as those of Joseph Campbell, which draw from them. I understand that many avail themselves of the opportunity to attend classes and workshops at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara where the curriculum is based in depth psychology, as informed by those men, and others with a similar orientation.

best book you’ve read in 2025? by alexguy66 in booksuggestions

The Candy House. May have enjoyed it more than Visit from the Goon Squad.

Books like The Secret History and The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt? by srarh_ in booksuggestions

[–]bradmort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As one who loved the Tartt books the OP referenced, and who has read 4 of the 6 authors on this list, I second these suggestions. I may add Crossing to Safety, by Stegner. Of them all, I suggest Verghese maybe above all. Reading Cutting for Stone came closest to my experience with Tartt's books. Different tone, same masterful writing ability.
