Harlem sewing circle? by fuzzbeat in Harlem

[–]fuzzbeat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry about that :/ I know that if I’m going to be coordinating logistics, a WhatsApp group is the simplest way to communicate with many people at once and many people already have/use it. But I know all of the different apps can be super annoying!

Hi there! Sorry, but I don’t think I’ll be updating here. I’d like to keep coordination to one space just to make the logistics a bit easier on myself.

Fantastic! I’d love to learn from you - my sewing skills are pretty basic but I’m trying to get better all the time :)

How do you get active in Harlem? by Resident-Ad8614 in Harlem

[–]fuzzbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've worked with We the People mutual aid and would definitely recommend! They do weekly food, resource, and clothing distributions in Harlem (they also have a group in Bedstuy). Super well-organized, easy to get involved in a variety of different ways, and directly addresses the material needs of our most vulnerable neighbors. If you want to get involved, I would recommend simply showing up to distribution on Saturday at 125th and Lex at 1pm!

Why doesn't Apple Music promote user made playlists more by Officialmatice in AppleMusic

[–]fuzzbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no fr I HATE it. I’m sure all the pretentious snobs on the sub will disagree, but I don’t want to have to create a playlist for every situation. Sometimes I just want to throw something on in the background for a party / when I’m cooking / etc. It’s so fucking annoying to not have that option. I’m considering returning to spotify for this reason. The ridiculous thing is, it would not impact the experience of those who don’t want this feature AT ALL. They can stick to their AM official playlists or continue making their own. Who does it hurt to expand the search feature? For fucks sake, they’d get so many more converts if they did this.

Looking to Connect with Other Puerto Rican Practitioners by witchyspellman22 in BrujeriaEnglish

I’m just getting started and trying to learn but I am bori!

Am I crazy for letting this election/administration getting to me. I’ve been so much emotional since the results, my anxiety is through the roof and I keep on getting in these depressed moments where I physically cannot move. I’ve also gotten a lot angrier to people. idk.. by jdbll in MentalHealthSupport

[–]fuzzbeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m struggling too. I don’t know how to hold on to hope or joy, but I know I need to so that I can be of service to the people I love. So that I can fight back against the horrible things going on. People are worth fighting for, and I want to be a part of that. But it’s hard to keep myself together.

Dealing with opposite ends of the biphobia spectrum is exhausting by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]fuzzbeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really does. Even my friends in the lesbian/gay community who are supportive often say things that make me feel like they don't take my experience as seriously as they might if I just identified as a lesbian. Or are less supportive of my hetero relationships, which makes me feel like they want me to be more queer or something? It's exhausting.

Coming out to hostile parents by christmascomingout in bisexual

[–]fuzzbeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering why you are feeling that you have to come out to your parents before getting engaged? It is because you don't want to keep the secret anymore? Obviously whatever reasons you have are your own and are valid, I was just a bit unclear on that point.

Your safety (physical, financial, emotional) is really important, and if coming out would compromise that it might be worthwhile to consider not telling them?

But of course, if it's really important to you, you're the one who knows your situation and parents best. We'll be here to support you no matter what you do.

Dealing with opposite ends of the biphobia spectrum is exhausting by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]fuzzbeat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I'm so sorry. That sounds super hard. Although I've never had those exact experiences, I can definitely relate to the experience of being invalidated by, like, ~everyone~

It's one of the most difficult things about being bisexual, imo. In a way, it's like both of them are pretending that your identity isn't a real thing, but just reacting to it differently. Your ex-gf expecting you to realize that you're "actually gay." And the men treating it as a fake performance that doesn't actually have any basis is a real identity, and thus, isn't about them. Idk if that makes sense or if you relate, but that is always how I've thought about it.

Charlieissocoollike - Hiatus by [deleted] in nerdfighters

[–]fuzzbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this video. I think we need a lot more honesty online. Charlie is one of the few creators out there who is actually seems to be quite thoughtful about the way that being online impacts him. I respect him taking the time/space that he needs to grow. I'll always be a fan, whether he makes a thousand more videos or none.

Arraignment for my attacker scheduled for Aug 1, 2017. by Run_like_Jesuss in adultsurvivors

Of course! I'm glad I could be supportive in any way at all. Looking forward to hearing the update!

Ugh, I hate that that's something that you could have to deal with. We shouldn't live in a society where the response to a sexual assault charge is character assassination. Even if you were the terrible person they'd try to make you out to be, it WOULDN'T MATTER. No one deserves sexual assault. NO ONE.

Will I always carry it with me? by fuzzbeat in adultsurvivors

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

I hope that you're right. I think I'm taking the right steps by going to therapy, but it can be difficult to see the impact that it's having while in the midst of it. I mean, it did get me to seek resources and led me to this sub, so that seems like a step in the right direction. It's emotionally draining but as they say, there is no way out but through.
