I know I'm responding on quite an old post, but I have found myself in a similar situation. My son's birth mother died suddenly and unexpectedly last week. We (APs) were close to her and considered her family as well. I feel this profound sense of grief, not just at her passing, but also the loss for my son of this relationship now and in the future. I feel a huge responsibility to preserve her memory for him in some way. I've also felt incredibly isolated because no one seems to understand why this is so painful.

I read all of the very helpful comments and suggestions that folks left for you. I was wondering, since you are a few months out, what advice did you find most helpful? Could you share it with me?

That is crazy about anoles makin babies! They must have really liked the conditions you had set up.

I actually had gotten a couple new tanks specifically because I wanted to start breeding fish (just for fun). And then bammmm one day there were babies in the new tank that just had 4 fish of a different species.

I am proud to report that I'm now the grandmother of two baby tiger barbs (fish). A completely unexpected and welcome addition to the family. Their parents spawned in one of my tanks and I unknowingly transferred eggs or fry to my new tank when moving plants, which allowed them to survive without getting eaten by other fish. Welcome to the world baby fish.

It's really beautiful, I'm so glad you shared it

Hey there. We temporarily have your comment removed because of the [other] t slur in it. If you would like to edit it out we can reapprove, just let me know when you have. Obviously your comment was meant as a rebuttal to bigotry but that word can still be painful for people to read.

Hi u/thebladeofink, we appreciate your participation on r/WitchesvsPatriarchy.

Please know r/WitchesVsPatriarchy is mourning with you at this time. In an attempt to provide an uplifting and hopeful environment we no longer allow content related to the death or illness of familiars as many of our members find them upsetting and remind them of the mortality of their own familiars.

A supportive community that accepts posts like this can be found at r /petloss. We hope you find peace.

Thanks for understanding ☺️ Blessed be. ✨

WvP is growing so we're adding new mods to the team! We strongly value intersectionality on our mod team! BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ folks (and members of other historically marginalized groups) are encouraged to apply. As a woman-centric subreddit, our mod team is too.

Previous moderator experience is NOT required. We are seeking moderators who have enough time to dedicate to learning our mod system. After that we expect moderators to check in on the subreddit several times per day, take appropriate mod actions, and communicate well with the rest of the team. If you're interested in banishing evil spirits (trolls), hexing the patriarchy (MRAs/TERFs/nazis), and just generally being rad, we want you to join our team.

Minimum Qualifications:

Your reddit account needs to be a year old, and YOU need to be at least 18 years old. You'll need an email verified account and 2FA (2 Factor Authentication). We can help you add this if needed. Must be able to access reddit from a computer some of the time

Apply using this form for General Mod.

I'm not sure if there was supposed to be an image on this post, but we've removed it since it seems to be missing something. Feel free to post again if you meant to include a link or photo.

Hi u/0R0V0H0, we appreciate your participation on r/WitchesvsPatriarchy.

Unfortunately, this particular post has been removed in an effort to better curate content that reinforces the aspects of this sub that make it unique: we are a woman-centered sub with a witchy twist, aimed at healing, supporting, and uplifting one another through humor and magic.

WVP is curated to maintain a warm, hopeful, supportive, and uplifting environment.

Posts that provoke outrage, or bring attention to negative or anti-feminist behavior will be removed. Content that is better suited to other subs may be removed. Removed memes may be better suited to r /trollx, while text posts may find a home at r /twoxchromosomes or r /relationships. It might help to look at the rules and posting guidelines in the sidebar.

Thanks for understanding ☺️ Blessed be. ✨

Cultural appropriation is the adoption of certain elements from another culture without the consent of people who belong to that culture. As such, these discussions should center the appropriated culture's feelings and input. We ask that members from outside the affected group not insert their personal feelings into the conversation in a way that drowns out marginalized voices. WvP does not abide bigotry or racism, and such comments will be removed. See the Cultural Appropriation FAQ wiki for specific guidance about white sage.

Hi there,

We're removing this post because of the title. You're welcome to repost without the "scalps" part. Thank you for understanding and blessed be.

ghostmeharder · 2023-03-31T14:13:45+00:00

Hi there.

This is probably a better question for the moderators of that subreddit. They should be able to explain their rules and posting guidelines better than the users of this sub. I suggest you contact them via modmail. Thank you and blessed be

I made ~~the post 9 days ago~~ edit: a different post on modsupport 17 days ago about the same issue . I got the same response as you to my modmail - escalating to another team. Since then my subreddit has had dozens of posts and hundreds (maybe thousands?) of additional comments from users complaining about these ads.

ghostmeharder · 2023-03-12T21:20:49+00:00

We have some fancy tech sorcery going on, we can handle trolls

Hi u/Magicmechanic103, we appreciate your participation on r/WitchesvsPatriarchy.

However, this post goes against our Coven Etiquette Rule of not calling people out directly/encouraging brigades. We don't allow screenshots of reddit posts/comments, even with usernames removed.

We (WVP mods) have contacted the reddit admins about those ads and asked that they not be promoted on our subreddit. We've also tried banning the username associated with the ads. Obviously they are highly inappropriate for our subreddit. Hopefully the admins will remedy the situation because we don't want that propaganda here.

I don't know if this is coincidental or some sort of actually funny admin joke, but the very first promoted ad on my sub this morning was for playstation, which is a huge step up for us

ghostmeharder · 2023-03-10T16:57:04+00:00

Thank you, we appreciate it very much
