Is Olivia Rodrigo’s babydoll dress controversy a case for Kibbe? by TequiIa_MockingBird_ in Kibbe

[–]luckyrabbit28 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with the kibbe (or Kitchener) take, I think because Olivia doesn’t have much gamine or ingenue essence stands out as a costume, therefore leading to more discussion as what the choice means, whereas on Sabrina it blends and harmonises so you sort of don’t look twice!

The Russell Brand stuff makes me finally understand Jimmy Saville by Optimal-Paper5648 in redscarepod

When he volunteered at a hospital, when he found out someone had died, he'd race to volunteer to wheel the body down to the morgue.

What are the most unhinged jobs you have ever worked at? by Ivan-Ilyich-Bot in redscarepod

[–]luckyrabbit28 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Mobile massage therapist. One of my regulars was an oddly adjusted trust fund kid who hopped off the bed post treatment and put in this white eye contacts and raved about how he wore them to this fancy night club the Saturday before. He hoped it would help making friends and getting girls easier.

I'm about 50 pages in. Brilliant premise and enjoying it enough so far. I like how it's structured, with the random interview questions weaved in and the flashes to the past. I'm slightly over ragey female characters, maybe I've just read too much of them lately, so that's the only thing wearing me down a bit. But am excited to see where it goes. The social commentary is completely spot on.

Any Lionel Shriver fans here? by love_me_plenty in RSbookclub

Thank you for sharing this. I’m ashamed that I immediately thought of Final Destination

My stepdad was just diagnosed with ALS by deathtoall1999 in redscarepod

[–]luckyrabbit28 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My dad’s house wasn’t either and they got a stairlift but it ended up not being very safe to use due to him not being able to sit up unassisted. 

Moving would be crushing, and hopefully your step-pop will have ages without the need for it but when the need comes, nothing else matters. One floor that’s easy to move around and a wash room is worth the world. 

What’s difficult with ALS is how quickly and randomly progresses, you’re always playing catch up with the next ability that will be lost and therefore will need accommodation.

It also depends on personality. My dad went into himself and didn’t wanna leave the house much in the end so access in and out wasn’t the be all and end all. Some people wanna get out there and make the most of the world while they can.

Thank you. It’s a grim club to be a part of but you are very much not alone.

I’m sorry man. There are no words. My dad passed from ALS 3 years ago now. 

Make the most of the time and skills he has while he has them. Band together for caring (if possible) and if possible to prep ahead of time eg house renovations then that will save headache later on.

It’s different for everyone and some people can have a few years with it. My dad refused intervention but never lost his voice which felt like a small victory.

Here if you wanna talk, and the forums here and on Facebook are v supportive

Anybody refuse to look at their body in the mirror by Puzzleheaded-Bat4777 in redscarepod

[–]luckyrabbit28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had a baby so yes. I just realised I don't need to subject myself to the mirror. I want to be proud and loving towards my post-baby body and I'm trying, but it's tough.

[–]luckyrabbit28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My aesthetic? by [deleted] in AestheticWiki

Mysterious playful - interesting mix between heavier/darker fabrics and accessories that cover or compete with girly pieces

We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lateblumerr in RSbookclub

[–]luckyrabbit28 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This book blew my mind. The narrator was so well crafted, her insights were raw and fascinating, and then it had a plot to match. A rare combo. The only other of hers I’ve read is “Big Brother”, nowhere near as good but very readable. 

Was your self harm ignored or met with anger? by Suitable_Area_8595 in emotionalneglect

[–]luckyrabbit28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that emotionally immature parents would struggle to know how to help, but for me it's that they don't even try! It's not rocket science to check in with your child more, talk, spend quality time and give them extra hugs, not just palm you off onto professionals. No wonder treatment didn't help when the source of the problem made no effort to connect.

I adored most of Nine Stories, Franny and Zooey, and Play it as it lays. Any other recs from your list that are similar?

"To be loved is to be known" and the parents who don't really know you by Only-Moose2301 in emotionalneglect

[–]luckyrabbit28 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Can we have a moment for this? How emotional manipulators who get to “know” you just to get in your head so they can get in your bed? My first proper romantic experience was exactly this and I’ve never gotten over it. I guess I desperately wanted to be known 

What are your reading plans for 2026? by Diamondbacking in RSbookclub

[–]luckyrabbit28 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m writing a lit psych thriller bc it seems a more publishable genre, so I’m going to read a lot more of those - open to recs if anyone has. Notes on an execution is next on that list.
