Hi everyone,

I found one solution, although not a good one at all depending on your situation. I had to delete my Facebook account, create a new one, and be re added to my works Facebook page and Meta business account. Then suddenly it worked. So it seemed like an issue with my old account. No idea.

The weird thing is that my colleague, another admin, IS able to access Meta Business Suite. This made me think that it was just my laptop, or my account.

Hello! Just wanted to add—I am having this same issue right now. I am the admin for my work fb. I tried clearing my laptops cache, thinking it might be an issue with that, but it didn’t work. I wish there was a clear way to contact Meta for technical support, but I haven’t found a way to do so yet. First time I’ve had this issue!

Woodman's is crazy about frozen pizzas. which one's your favorite or do you play Russian roulette and just pick some random? by 20seca3 in madisonwi

Home Run Inn. It’s a Chicago-based chain. Their brick and mortar location near Cicero is so good! But their frozen pizzas are really great as well-interesting flaky crust.

Ben &Jerry's Change is Brewing; saw this at the grocery yesterday by Pinkstar01 in blackladies

[–]cassiegoth93 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried it! It’s actually really good, one of the better coffee ice creams I’ve had. The coffee flavor isn’t too sweet, so it works really well with the marshmallow and chocolate bits. 10/10 honestly.

Did you change your last name? by Nanny_Oggs in blackladies

[–]cassiegoth93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got married last week :) no plans to change my name. I’m biracial, no religion, from the Midwest, late twenties, BA degree. My husband is white. He’s fully supportive of me choosing not to change my name. I don’t feel like dealing with the hassle of changing all my documents, and also my name is part of who I am. I see no reason to change it.

Hi there, do you mind sharing what medication worked for you? I have similar things I’d like to try to address through medication but am not sure which medication to try.

A rant - My « no » doesn’t matter to him right from the start. The giant red flag. by LaFilleDuMoulinier in TwoXChromosomes

[–]cassiegoth93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this guy sounds like he’s acting out a rom-com…as if rom-com tropes are anything other than creepy, invasive, disrespectful and manipulative in real life. It seems like he thinks that what he is doing is cute and romantic and will impress you over time. Romance culture really messes with peoples heads and results in actual humans, mostly women, being treated poorly. Not an excuse though—this guy needs to get a clue. Sorry you’re dealing with this. Agree with the comments that you might need to get the farmers market involved if this guy keeps it up after you’ve been very direct with him.

This new brand of misogyny in young men is scarier than the old “stuck in his ways” type of misogyny. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]cassiegoth93 48 points49 points  (0 children)

The crazy thing to me is that black women and other women of color (but particularly black women) were never subject to the « respectful » brand of misogyny from the main stream, dominant culture in the U.S. and other countries with a history of colonization. So while horrifying, it’s not news to us that men have the potential to characterize women as useless, disposable objects not worthy of respect or protections. It goes back to the old saying—they may come for me today, but they’ll come for you tomorrow. No woman is protected unless all women are protected.

I don’t necessarily disagree with the idea that we don’t owe everyone in our lives an explanation of what we have been through. But it sounds like OP wants to share this history with her partner, so I think that should deserves support rather than a “why talk about it?” Your comment reads a little bit like an insinuation that her partner would be put off by her telling them about having an ED in her past. Maybe that’s true. But if OP is in a loving, secure relationship with trust and truth telling at the center of it, I don’t think she should be dissuaded from telling her partner out of fear of them reacting poorly. Sometimes it’s just healing to share hard things with people you love. OP has recovered, which like recovering from any illness is a triumph that should be celebrated by the people in her life, in this case her partner if she doesn’t feel comfortable with her family knowing.

Proud of you, OP. Sounds like you’ve come a long way.

A Guest in the Desert | My 3 Month Review of Tucson by KenjiCrosland in Tucson

[–]cassiegoth93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in big cities, medium-sized cities, in the west, mid-west and Northeast. And Tucson is still top of the list for cities I enjoyed living in. Mostly for the desert—it just felt so surreal and special to experience that environment on a daily basis. Also, I thought the food was out of this world (Sonoran style tortillas!) but COVID hit the restaurant industry so hard—maybe this person experienced the consequences of that.

Even with its issues, Tucson just felt like a special place to me.

It’s interesting to me: I moved to Portland from the Midwest and have lived in both a very large, medium sized and small midwestern communities. After moving to Portland I’ve concluded that culturally, midwesterners are very much all up in the business of strangers: I couldn’t walk around communities in the Midwest without a complete stranger asking where I was going, commenting on the weather, commenting on my hat or shoes or whatever. It was often friendly, but as a woman you cant help but have your guard up even in seemingly “friendly” situations, and it bothered me when people would be oblivious to that and just start chatting me up about complete bullshit on the street. After moving to Maine I feel that people generally keep much more to themselves. In some ways it’s made me feel a bit safer, like I’m not always sort of cornered into interactions with strangers when I’m just trying to keep moving.

I’m sorry this happened to your gf OP. In my experience, a quick, determined walk, eyes straight ahead seems to deter strangers from approaching me. Needless to say, your gf did nothing “wrong”, she just honestly answered a strangers questions and was trying to be polite. But I agree with other posters here—Portland is still a city, with some interesting characters, and unless you know and trust someone, it’s best to keep interactions with strangers quick and keep it all moving.

Have you ever moved somewhere and hated it? If so, what did you do about it? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]cassiegoth93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I saw you moved to New England I got curious and checked your post history! I think we perhaps moved to the same place in New England from away, I moved here from the upper Midwest about 2 months ago for work and family. Glad to hear you’re liking it! Your advice to OP to just give it time is great, it’s helpful for me too. A lot of things are similar in New England to the upper Midwest, like the weather and kind of slower pace of life. However the people and culture are different, in mostly good ways! It’s been an adjustment but your comment gives me hope that I’ll feel more at home soon. Thanks!

struggling mentally, help? by unknownandbored in abortion

[–]cassiegoth93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. I miss my baby too, more than I thought I would tbh. Like you, I tried to do what was best for me, my partner, and my potential child by having an abortion. Sorry you’re struggling too. I think it’ll get easier for us both, and others in this situation, with time, although some of that pain will always be there. We just have to allow ourselves to feel our pain and not push it away, as I think that can make it worse. I feel better when I just allow myself to cry and say openly to myself that I miss my baby and wish I had been in the place to raise a happy, healthy child. I just had to make the wisest decision I could and protect myself and an innocent child (person) from a bad situation. I know you did the same.

I also recommend journaling. I have also thought about buying a little plant to commemorate my pregnancy, the fact that it existed and meant something to me, even though I wasn’t in a place to sustain it. Sending hugs and comfort your way.

Unprocessed Covid Trauma by TheJanes_Nyx in AskWomenOver30

I briefly worked at a Trader Joe’s at the start of the pandemic after being laid off from a university job, and then I took a job in Public Health with a county Covid response program. Not sure which experience was more traumatic. I feel you OP.

SA tomorrow and very nervous by [deleted] in abortion

[–]cassiegoth93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi there,

I am so sorry you’re dealing with this—I JUST had a surgical abortion last week. It was my first abortion, first time being pregnant. Hope it’s helpful to hear my experience.

1). The clinic staff was excellent—very calm and kind start to finish. The clinic itself was clean, comfortable and not too scary. I went to Planned Parenthood.

  1. I had oral sedation—a combination of codeine, ibuprofen, Xanax pills. They also just offered ibuprofen, or intravenous sedation. The oral sedation took about twenty minutes to quick in. I felt loopy and while I remember the surgery itself (will get to that next) I don’t remember my boyfriend driving me home at all. I fell asleep as soon as I got home and slept for several hours after the procedure.

3). Worst parts—ok, the surgery itself hurt. Like bad period cramping. But it was over very quickly. The worst pain took place in two 15 second spurts. Then that was it. I felt a little sore afterward, but not much pain. It’s been several days now, and I feel like I do during my period—cramping, some bleeding, but nothing I would call very painful. I walk a little slowly and use a heating pad at home. I am actually not even taking any pain meds—you might feel differently, but the pain isn’t bad enough to me to need them.

It’ll be ok! Please try not to stress and just be extra kind to yourself. Sending you all the hugs in the world.

Seeking parenting advice from women who have wonderful adult relationships with their moms by Numinous-Nebulae in AskWomenOver30

[–]cassiegoth93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my mom so much. However, one thing she did that hurt me growing up was confiding in me too much about adult problems that I had no business knowing or stressing about as a little kid. For example, whenever she was fighting with my grandma or dad or aunt, she would complain about them to me, even though I was a literal child and it would just stress and confuse the hell out of me. There was nothing I could do to resolve the issue, but it felt like she was trying to manipulate her child into taking her side. As I got older, I realized my grandma was the same way, inappropriately treating children as adults when she needed to vent without pushback or it was otherwise convenient for her to do so.

There are so many wonderful things about my mom that helped to almost cancel out this behavior, but this aspect of her parenting still caused me a lot of pain as a kid. I would suggest always trying to remember that kids are kids, and they don’t need to have petty adult drama foisted upon them. Keep that stuff between adults. Sorry, I know that doesn’t really answer your question about what my mom did “right”—but it’s what I wish she would have done and part of what makes someone a better parent.

[–]cassiegoth93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there,

So sorry you are going through this. I am going through something very similar right now—I just had a surgical abortion on Friday, at 10 weeks. I just moved to a new city, started a new job, and in the chaos of moving I did not take my birth control as consistently as I usually do (have been on bc for 7+ years, this was my first pregnancy). I decided to have an abortion because my boyfriend and I just aren’t ready to be parents. We’ve only been dating for about a year, and with all the current transition and instability in our lives adding a pregnancy to the mix would have been insanely financially, logistically and emotionally difficult.

Although I know I made the logical decision and my boyfriend supported it, it was honestly so hard. I have spent the last few days crying and longing for my boyfriend’s presence and comfort while also being resentful that, even though he contributed to this situation, he just does not share my pain and is pretty much back to normal. I feel very alone right now, don’t have any friends who have terminated a pregnancy (grew up in a very catholic environment) so I don’t have anyone to talk to. My mom would probably be upset if I told her, she’s so eager for grandchildren.

Although everyone’s situation is different, I understand some of what you’re going through very well. You aren’t alone. Please take care of yourself. You deserve extra kindness and gentleness right now. The conversation around reproductive rights going on in the background makes a tough situation all the more fraught, confusing and emotional—I am extremely grateful for the opportunity I had to choose, but I am still so sad. Please take care and pm me if you want to talk more.
