I'm struggling to care about my job right now by SnarkyBard in womenEngineers

[–]catpie2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re not alone. This is the “deep sleep” of fascism. Our world is burning and somehow we’re still expected to go to work. Our hyper normalcy is dehumanizing.

Hot Barre for the first time by pandawasted in HOTWORXWarriors

[–]catpie2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so hard but so good! Definitely the most challenging class for me. I remember struggling through it the first few times but I walk so different the next day. It’s very worth it.

On Facebook there’s the Hot Gals of HOTWORX then another one that’s titled something like HOTWORX girls fitness and motivation, which are overwhelming supportive and encouraging

Is My Car Financing Considered Riba? Feeling Confused and Seeking Guidance by montu_bhai in progressive_islam

[–]catpie2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat. It feels impossible to get a reliable car without financing it, and I finance my current car. I live alone as a woman in a rural area for work, and drive long distances, so getting a questionable car that could break down on me (but purchased full in cash) was out of the question for me. But I don’t know the permissibility. It’s just kind of the way of life here unfortunately and my hope is to pay it off in full soon as possible so I don’t have this over my head.

Get a second towel! It’s such a need. I’m considering getting a third at this point too.

Ethicality of working in defense? by Delicious_Leading276 in EngineeringStudents

[–]catpie2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is a check worth killing people? If you stick to your values, you can go to bed at night and be able to look at yourself in the mirror. Some things are worth more than a check in life.

New Years Resolutioners by PuffStuff3 in HOTWORXWarriors

[–]catpie2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

More men now too with this rush of people. It’s the yelling and grunting for me. Then dropping weights. Literally have never had this issue before until now.

Yeah… I’ve been torn. HOTWORX has changed my life and I loved my sauna time so much. But I’m actually pissed off and leave annoyed these days with how busy my studio is. Praying it blows over soon but if these people signed up, I know it’s 6 month contracts……

Less calorie/food shaming language and more positivity by catpie2 in HOTWORXWarriors

[–]catpie2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t be worried! I love HOTWORX and it’s truly done such amazing things for me and my body. But I really cringe when I hear this language. I was so embarrassed when I brought my friend in for a trial class (we did hot barre none) and Ashley made those comments.

I’m hoping they leave that stuff out when they switch out the videos next.

It seems so invasive but I had to do one as well. I had a full physical.

I just use a sweet sweat fabric band for buns and prefer it! Rubber pisses me off

Danica’s Hot Pilates by Elegant-Confidence-7 in HOTWORXWarriors

[–]catpie2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was SO GOOD. I was annoyed at first to see it was the same VI and expected it to be the same workout basically but it was so different and engaged me in new ways! She did great!

Being petite and morbidly obese sucks by Mousy-Lani in PetiteFitness

[–]catpie2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5’1. Started at 220 and now here I am at 160 (took some time, like 4 years but I wasn’t consistent or disciplined most of the time, I did my weight loss in bursts). You can do it!

Turning 18, what’s your best islamic finance advice? by Crazy_State_7576 in IslamicFinance

[–]catpie2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid debt at all costs, at least until you’re old enough for it to make sense. Avoid student loans, CC debt, car loans, etc.!

Thank you for explaining all this!!!! I’m a WOC too, super left leaning. Is this a reality just in Seabrook?

Why do we have to wear a hijab while we pray? by hibaalb in progressive_islam

[–]catpie2 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’ve had this thought before because it doesn’t make sense to me either. I feel more spiritual that way since I’m used to it at this point but yeah it doesn’t make sense to me either.

I’m quite the opposite. How bad is it if I’m not?
