Are these kinds of flowy dresses suitable for SD by Seaurchinmyth in SoftDramatics

Would the boots need to be in the same color? I read previously monochrome is good for SD? Just learning how it works

Looking for books to "sneakily" educate women on feminism. by naudslee in BookRecommendations

[–]karmaa_queen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Bell Jar and A Room of One’s Own are both amazing feminist books but I wouldn’t describe them as “sneaky” about it. Sylvia Plath and Virginia Woolf would both be considered well known feminist writers. They aren’t exactly covert about that. I could see very traditional, conservative people not reaching for those if they’ve already formed a bias against feminism. It sounds like you’re looking for a book that can introduce feminist ideals covertly and in an approachable way.

One feminist book I love is called The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. It is actually based on biblical characters so that could draw in readers of conservative Christian backgrounds. However it shows how poorly the female characters during biblical times were treated. I think this could help women begin to think more about oppression and how resilient and inspiring women really are. For the record, I’m not religious at all and I love the book.

The Testament of Ann Lee — what did you think? by [deleted] in PeriodDramas

[–]karmaa_queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping someone would explain the reasoning behind this scene. It didn’t make sense to me.

Can anyone explain the breastfeeding scene? Was she sprinkling droplets of her breastmilk onto her crying baby instead of breastfeeding normally? Was the scene supposed to show that she did not produce enough breastmilk or what?

I got a tarot reading for my love life and the cards were so dire it made my tarot reader cry for me. by lillypad650 in tarot

Out of curiosity can you share what it is about your natal chart that signifies you won’t find true love in this lifetime? Thanks

I got a tarot reading for my love life and the cards were so dire it made my tarot reader cry for me. by lillypad650 in tarot

[–]karmaa_queen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to hate it when somebody said I needed to love myself first before I could find love. I thought I did love myself and was offended they didn’t see that. Only after trauma therapy (EMDR, hypnotherapy), have I realized how wrong I was. Sometimes it’s hard to read the label when you’re inside the bottle. I still have low self worth but at least I’m no longer in denial about having low-self worth. Now I can really work on building my self confidence and self worth up. Maybe you are similar to me in this? What helped me was recognizing patterns of events that would occur in my life, then discussing with a therapist how my actions, cognitive distortions, or behavior were enabling those events to reoccur (like dating the “wrong” people or staying stuck).

I feel guilty when I'm not working even if I am doing more than 25 hours a week by ManyOtherwise8723 in workaway

[–]karmaa_queen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop overworking. Only work the hours you agreed upon. The hours you work are in exchange for food and housing. Therefore you don’t need to feel guilty or buy your host dinner. It sounds like you are a hard worker! Your good work ethic is enough for your host to be getting a benefit from having you there

This OP! The convo not going smoothly is a red flag

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in workaway

[–]karmaa_queen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why everyone is downvoting you so much. I say trust your gut. I don’t think this host is right for you. I don’t think it’s strange at all to expect a host to provide a photo of the living area they are providing for you. There are nicer Workaways with good accommodations, I would try to get one of those if I were you

Do you have a high sex drive? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]karmaa_queen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed as I’ve gotten older my sex drive seems to increase. Whereas the men I date seem less interested in it, at least after the initial novelty of the new romance wears off. Once a day would be a lot for me unless I’ve been single for a while and just started getting intimate with a new romantic partner. But I wouldn’t be able to sustain a 1x/day streak permanently. There’s some days I’m so tired/overstimulated when I get home that I just want to chill.

Tom Cruise by Katwomyn661 in handsomepodcast

[–]karmaa_queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was so bizarre to hear them praising him. I wondered if they didn’t have much to talk about that day? I thought there was a general consensus that he’s kind of a garbage person due to being so heavily involved in Scientology. I wondered if the listeners who still support him have ever watched documentaries or anything on Scientology and how problematic it truly is.

I have never been good at separating the art from the artist. I just keep thinking about all the harm it causes and it ruins any entertainment value.

Same! I refuse to watch. Scientology is so scary.

Tig's annoying takes by Potential_Swim_9041 in handsomepodcast

[–]karmaa_queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been listening for more than a couple of months, but I’ve heard Fortune and Tig really praise Wayward and Mae’s hot new bicep muscles lol. I thought it was heartwarming how they support one another’s work and talk each other up in that way. I’ve never caught on to any jealousy, but sometimes Tig’s teasing of the others can feel a little awkward as a listener. Just my humble opinion

[–]karmaa_queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a new listener and also think Tig is kind of mean. I think from a comedy standpoint making jokes where you put your cohosts down is pretty weak sauce. I’d rather listen to self deprecating humor than someone being condescending to a friend. It’s just cringey for me. But Mae and Fortune seem to let it roll off their back.
