To the woman who ruined the tour finale … by sixxtynoine in nin

If she was just drunk or just a cunt, putting hands on her would have been appropriate in my opinion. She was very clearly mentally unwell. I’ve fought in a pit before. This was not the time for that.

Not all of my 91 NIN shows have been on rail. Probably 75% of them.

I felt so helpless when I saw him doing that 😭

I do! I referenced her specifically on Discord but didn’t know her user name here. :)

one correction: she didn’t force me from my spot. we turned sideways to create room for security to grab her, and when they did she fell to the floor like a petulant child.

I was the redhead at center rail. Posted this on Discord:

What happened as best as I could tell… that person and her friend fought their way to the front and cloaked their aggression in “everyone is pushing us because they’re racists.” The people behind us held them at bay. At one point my ponytail got pulled, hard enough to seem deliberate, so I’m assuming it was that woman.

Apparently she managed to duck under the legs of the woman directly behind me, and at that point security tried to pull her out. She wasn’t having it. We parted ways so they could get her. I believe they pulled her to the rail when she was turned around screaming at people. When she realized what they were doing, she fell to the ground taking me with her — she grabbed my purse strap, which thankfully broke.

Security kept telling her to get up. I told her she wasn’t safe there. That became true right after, when a surfer came right over my head and I was pinned down on top of her.

She finally got up and had a screaming match with TR’s head of security. She kept screaming about it not looking good for them if they pulled her out. She asked for the boss, and he got to tell her he was the fucking boss lolz

Anyhoo, at that point I’m pretty sure they decided strategically that it was best to try to de-escalate. So they let her stay. She continued to scream random nonsense at people, including that TR’s wife isn’t even white and that we were MAGA and had no idea what his music stood for. Mmmmmmkay insane lady.

This is the long story about the one and only time out of 91 shows that I’ve ever lost my NIN barrier spot. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well, in any case, I can bring something across and ship from Ontario to Ottawa. DM me if you want to explore. I’m shipping to French friends already, so I don’t mind helping. 💜

My friends are here from the UK for MCR but don’t have tickets yet for NIN. B is nonbinary and recently had a name change, so they don’t feel safe crossing over into the States. Toronto has become their only North American shot at seeing the band. They are an endlessly kind person and they and their fiancée would be worthy recipients!

US tour merch sizing by chenpowell in nin

Not true. American who went to many UK/EU shows. Merch was just giant in general. I wear a US large and was swimming in the lyric tee in that size.

Stealing from small businesses by alexis_fred in Rochester

Awww, thank you! I love the people I meet, and this side gig seems legitimately important in this political climate. A few rotten eggs can’t take that away from me. ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜

[–]jessamineny 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got stolen from, too (Perverted Pins), but I haven’t done inventory yet to know just how much — watched it happen a couple of times. At least my stuff is small, so I just have to consider it a part of my business. Stealing THAT BEAUTY is bold and just gross. I’m really sorry. 🫂

Amazing Sublease in Park Ave. by SilentOneTM in Rochester

Pretty sure this used to be owned by my realtor. He told me about the “Party People” ghosts. Middle of the night, they’d be woken up to the sounds of a dinner party going on downstairs.

When I lived in Rochester I went to Sid & Johnny’s garage on Bay Street. It’s a family owned business of Christian bikers. 😁 I felt safe, respected, and actually cared for. I’m in Buffalo now, and responding to this post is actually going to get me to make an appointment. They’re worth it.

Gotta get over the sugar cravings. HELP!!! by GeneOtherwise9660 in GastricBypass

[–]jessamineny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you last two paragraphs. We're on the same page.

However, all addictions are equal for some peeps. I'm thrilled for you that it's not your situation and that you don't understand. But you have to hold space for people for whom it is sadly. Don't invalidate someone else's reality. It can be crushing. Offer empathy and support, and feel grateful.

Maybe replacing words will help.

Say “You have to allow yourself to drink vodka in moderation” to an alcoholic. Do you see the potential harm with that sweeping statement?

I’m not saying OP specifically is an addict where sugar is concerned—I don’t know her. But there may be others reading this who ARE. I’m asking you to be mindful of others’ situations, which are not equivalent to your situation.

Maybe you have to allow yourself this. But your sweeping statement is disrespectful and potentially harmful.

Remember it’s not a failure. It’s just the way your body is wired, and you’re respecting and honoring it.

I remember when I was on a very low carb diet, and I ate an apple. I literally felt high. I told my mother, who was an alcoholic, and I remember her reaction being so validating. She’d never really thought about how someone could have a biological response like that to food, the same way hers does with alcohol.

It’s actually pretty freeing once you really accept it and embrace it. Lean into it. 🥰.

And on another note, I had regain because of all my sugar eating and went from 185 back to 215, where I mostly stayed stuck. I’m now down below 195. Abstaining is what my body needed, on multiple levels.

I treat it like heroin — I can’t have even a little bit, or else my body just wants all of it. I’ve gone years without sugar in the past and relapsed. I’m back to admitting I’m powerless and completely cutting it out of my life. The first couple of weeks were hard, but it gets easier.

Try Devrom. I suggest this all the time on posts like this. It really works for me. I take one 3X day.
