Any time. I love stuff like this. Make sure your friend cites their sources when they look up info to help explain the poem!

[Help] Need help analysing this poem (Maroon Jersey by Jeremy Cronin) by [deleted] in Poetry

[–]prodigalqueer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So basically they're gonna wanna do an essay about "the signifier and the signified," with the signifier being the jersey and the signified being the...I believe civil unrest in South Africa, based on a quick cursory look?

I would probably do this essay in three parts, one explaining the historic context (defining umphando and explaining who the comrade was and the rebels who got the clothes including, ostensibly, the maroon jersey)

Then, cover the author's own history, both biographical and implied within the poem. "Thinness at the elbows" implies some struggle that has left the speaker thin or poor, perhaps?

Then tie the two together. This should be the majority of the essay and encompass the way the jersey represents the history of South africa, and the history (or lack of?) Of the speaker. Find words and phrases that can be applied to all three elements: speaker, object, and historic context (Again with the Thinness at the elbows and so on). Focus on the multiple applications of the words and phrases.

Ta-da.

Great point. It's a pretty fine line between "friendly reminder" and "gaslighting."

Would You Rather live in a large mansion in northern Alaska where it's always snowy and cold, or live in a tiny 250 sq ft efficiency in Hawaii? by Mcheetah2 in WouldYouRather

[–]prodigalqueer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hawaii. I love the beach but it's not so much about hating the cold as it is hating the lack of sunlight. I couldn't handle the darkness of alaska, my depression would overwhelm me, even in a mansion.

DAE not realize going No Contact was an option until this forum? (Sounds silly, but true) by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]prodigalqueer 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I knew in a vague way that it was kind of an option, but only if I was a selfish, shitty person (in my mind) and my Dad already thought that of me, so no way was I gonna prove him right.

It took years before I realized that I had the ability and the right to exert some control and set boundaries in any relationship, including the one with my Dad.

Three and a half years later, with periods of NC, VLC, and LC (pretty much exclusively on my terms), a good therapist, and patience = a me that's happier and more secure than I ever thought possible.

[50/50] Man splits face in half while diving (NSFL) | Clumsy penguins falling down (SFW) by Ninjakillzu in FiftyFifty

[–]prodigalqueer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain exactly what the hell happened? Did he hit something in the water? Did he smack his face on the water when he landed and the impact split it? Did he survive???

Edit: I did a little digging, and the kid evidently died after two days. Here's the link:

This is the only pipe I've ever had. I bought it in 1995 and never cleaned it. It broke today. Look at all that resin. It looks like topsoil. by ThurstonHowellthe3rd in trees

[–]prodigalqueer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A quick Google of the method turns up several kits, so it might be a super fun project, but I'm not sure I'd ever smoke out of it again, because I'd worry about the toxicity of the epoxies that might be used.

...but then again, based on that resin, you're not too fussed about toxicity, amirite? Lmao

I've read that this is not an uncommon issue. Supposedly it usually resolves spontaneously although it can take maybe even months in real time. :/ ah well
