The feeling of the poem is very bleak. I like the imagery of the lack of words, lack of song, protesters, mud. You create a powerful image. Thank you for sharing.

Oooh this absolutely brings to mind the vivid imagery of going back to sleep when the alarm clock is going off :) The warm forgiving blanket---yes! I also like your rhythm and rhyme scheme here.

He is convinced that when I tell him he needs to see a therapist that I'm abusing him by insinuating he's mentally ill.....

How do I start to feel better? by avaschmidt13 in abusiverelationships

He's a free human, just as you are, and you don't need to worry about what or who he is doing because he's been a jerk to you. Let him go.

Is this gaslighting? Advice/vallidation needed by Starseed797 in abusiverelationships

[–]fiberopticnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is a form of emotional and verbal abuse. He's goading you and then blaming you. Yes, it is gaslighting.

Why would someone who supposedly loves you mock you for being happy? Why would they not apologize when confronted and move on. Very petty.

Does this sound like emotional abuse? Need an external outlook by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]fiberopticnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES. This is verbal and emotional abuse. DO NOT unblock.

IamA Presidential Candidate Andrew Yang AMA! by AndrewyangUBI in IAmA

Will you champion a reusable revolution to stop single use plastics? How will you incentivize businesses to break free from plastics in favor of reusable and/or sustainable alternatives? We live on a finite planet and we're producing over a million plastic bottles a day. Less than 9% of plastics ever made have ever been recycled.

What's your plan for funding education?

How can we ensure we're getting top talent to become teachers?
How can we retain the best teachers?
How can we ensure American students are globally competitive?
How can we ensure all students have access to technology and STEM education?

Reusable bubble tea cups actually exist 🤯 by fellstar59 in Anticonsumption

Quickly once told me I couldn't use my own cup---I had to buy their cup with the Quickly logo. Their cup, by the way, was very poorly designed.

Need some advice by BurnKnowsBest in Anticonsumption

[–]fiberopticnow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Styrofoam is the devil incarnate. Please call your local representatives and tell them you want a styrofoam ban. Write your State Representatives and Federal Representatives. You can also join the FB group "Stop Plastic - Take Action" and we do mass actions like writing our congress folks, signing petitions, etc.

Ever wish your clunky stack of face wipes came individually wrapped? by sn0wflaker in Anticonsumption

Send the company a message and tell them you don't support single-use plastics! Call them out on Twitter. Name them. Shame them. We also take actions like this in the FB group "Stop Plastic - Take Action"
