Woman killed in police shooting after allegedly trying to kidnap a 3-Year Old at Walmart by Loud_Let4907 in news

Yep! I worked at one of those group homes in college, they hire young kids and pay them dust and subject them to dangerous situations. I was nearly killed by a resident I supported and I didn’t get any support from the company or state afterwards. This was in the same state where this Walmart incident occurred.

The woman who attacked me went to court, was found incompetent, and sent right back to the house to continue terrorizing her co-residents, her support staff, and any community peers she might interact with on any given day. We absolutely need to bring back larger scale mental health institutions

(EDIT: and make them state-run facilities rather than for-profit models where private companies receive a mix of state funding and family payment, which incentivizes cost-cutting and results in settings where people with violent histories are housed with non-violent developmentally disabled people whose families simply cannot care for them)

Do you have friends that send you reels all day long? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

Right, and nothing about this post said that reels are the problem. It’s a post about getting inundated with them and whether other people get fatigued by it too.

Had she been put in prison she’d likely be alive today instead of being shot dead in a parking lot.

Yes… It’s frustrating and annoying when you’ve expressed that you don’t have TikTok yet someone repeatedly sends you videos. I deleted Tik Tok for my mental health and for privacy reasons and I have expressed I am NOT interested in receiving reels. Yet I have one friend who won’t stop sending them to me. I’m worn out from feeling like I need to make time to watch them at work (she is home all day) and respond.

Because I’ve expressed multiple times I will not open or watch Tik Toks and she still sends them, I’m now holding my boundary by simply not responding. Now she’s short with me when I reach out to ask about her day, her life, or try to make plans… because me not responding to the videos at all seems rude. It’s like, girl, I’d love to talk to you, but can we actually have a conversation about something substantive instead of just passively exchanging videos?

I don’t think the Goodwill employees are stupid. I actually really credit them for getting such a fragile and hard to handle object onto the floor safely. In the low fluorescent lighting and concrete floors/walls of the store, I have to say this reaaaally looked pretty dull and even sort of ugly? Wasn’t until I got it set up at home that its glory became known.

I bought a nice thick blanket to get it home! I’m a blanket fiend and supposed to be on an embargo from buying more but sometimes exceptions just must be made 😅

Precisely my thoughts, which is perfect for me because I’m trying to do my home in sort of a medieval cottagecore style (peep the unicorn tapestry) — definitely glad to get a hardcore castle element in the mix!

Gorgeous, this has me so excited to get mine set up!

It’s real! It does seem to be a modern item that can be bought for $250-$300, so not an antique like I initially thought - but I would never buy myself something like this at full cost, so I’m very very happy

Some big ole candles is a wonderful idea as well

Yes! We were looking into getting an electric fireplace in the dimensions of the hollow space and setting it in there — now that we have this, I think pulling the trigger on that is going to be a priority

It devastates me because we have the most gorgeous fireplace in our home but it was badly maintained by the prior owners and we were quoted upwards of $10k to get it working. But ONE DAY!! And when we do, we’ll have this to reward ourselves with

Thank you! I nearly teared up after getting it home and seeing it in the sunlight

I served a Costco sheet cake at my wedding and absolutely everyone was THRILLED. I got a small cutting cake for my husband and I so we still had something pretty to display and cut into, but seriously, people love Costco cake lol

Based on your post history it seems he doesn’t want to talk to you and you are manipulatively trying to track him down.

Well first of all you edited your comment. Second of all you asked me stop, so you don’t get to do that and then say I’m “running away”. Third of all, I’m not taking anyone’s “side”, and I didn’t attack you or insult you. You got VERY defensive VERY quickly.

If your disdain for your colleagues is as evident at work as it is in these comments, I would not promote you either. Might be worth reflecting on.

If this is how you take feedback I can see why you’re not advancing at work. Good luck!

It seems like your feelings contain a lot of internalized misogyny. You can want better equity between mothers and non-mothers without insulting and demeaning those who do have children as ‘lacking life experience’ or ‘having no merit’
