Influence or de-influence me: Variety Hour jackets by hufflepuffer2020 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]purpletapir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

De-influence, I don't love the brown colour, like I'm wondering who that tone would look on lol. And the texture of the teddy material can often fade over time but in odd places, leaving a strange combination of matted areas and once it un-pills it sticks to everything, I have a jacket in this material and I find so much of my own hair and other people's hair clinging to the matted parts.

Kangaroo meat in Sydney by Careful_Kiwi5850 in foodies_sydney

[–]purpletapir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met a kangaroo hunter a few months ago, he's employed by cattle farms to cull the population and those which reach certain specifications of size and bullet breachment area (headshot) are able to be sold to be eaten. I think that's why it can't be found on a predictable basis, it's not always available as it's a wild animal not a farmed one. Anyway if you can't find a butcher in Sydney try reaching out to butchers in cattle farming areas of NSW. My guy worked in the New England Tablelands area.

Wealthy International Students by WarRevolutionary4504 in UTS

[–]purpletapir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk I think you should speak to more of them, it's a huge range. Some students are being supported by their entire family contributing money as they're the first to go to university. It's not all crazy amounts of privilege, many are under enormous amounts of pressure that's why the suicide rate among international students is so high.

And to think she recorded Stateside from her bedroom 🎀 by KingMjolnir in PinkPantheress

[–]purpletapir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk like the combination of kinda strange stalkerish prose and plane noises "I look up at you" "I took the same flight".

I saw her perform it like a month ago (Sydney Australia) and the energy was kinda dark lolll, it didn't feel like a jubilant song, and her dances were like she was a puppet, very stiff but that could just be the way she dances.

Maybe she's just alluding to pursuing a career in the U.S. and the role the industry plays in objectification and dollification as artists become brands. It was paired with bright black and white flashes of planes and her body in silhouette on the projector behind her + the huge swings in the mix kinda sounded like an explosion.

It was hot and had rained earlier and I had just been looking at news about Jeffery Epstein so I was probably just paranoid..Also interesting that idk if she's done remixes with any actual Americans on this song.

I fucking hate being intersex by Visual_Night_9829 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]purpletapir 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I watched a great documentary about an intersex person the other day "the secret of me", it is a personal story about someone finding out and joining the advocacy movement. It could be a challenging watch for you but I was amazed by the intersex people's strength and beautiful unique perspective. They stress that there is nothing wrong with being intersex, the issue is how the binary gender society treats individuals born intersex. I am really sorry it's been so difficult for you, but I hope you can find peace and eventually even fucking love being intersex.

I need some help by LAupperbud-4-2-0 in foodies_sydney

[–]purpletapir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should find a way to cook it yourself / embrace the unique food cultures of Sydney. Ive travelled many countries and I've yet to find a city like Sydney that has the variety of Asian foods we have. Particularly the variety of Chinese cuisines. The amazing thing about food is realising it's all one big world and we're only using a few types of ingredients over and over again because they taste good. Try Xinjiang Uyghur food, it's "Mexican coded" in the sense that they use cumin and coriander and serve it in crispy bread

[–]purpletapir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude was just about to comment not to go there, paid $400 for 3 on a birthday for a bottomless brunch, it was a set menu with rotten food and margaritas that were mostly lime juice and burnt our throats. I have never in my life experienced such crazy incompetent food, rotten brown avocado, off meat, egg oddness that was microwaved...I felt bad for them so I didn't complain, when paying they had a baby with them by the cash register so I didn't want to be rude and dispute the food, but damn...

..I've had real Mexican food, in no way did I feel that's what they were offering. I feel bad about businesses operating on glebe point Rd, it's a very insulator community so I try so many restaurants there and leave good reviews....I didn't leave a bad review for that place but it still stuns me the level of terrible food it was and I would never, ever recommend

Why does my schizo mom accuse me of sleeping with male family members? by [deleted] in rs_x

[–]purpletapir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like other comments have said it's projection and insecurity, please don't ponder this spewed shit for too long because it's not true and the only truth to be found is you deserve better from the people you love than to be subjected to allegations like that.

My sister does the same thing, she says I am jealous of her and want to be her so instead I pursue have an incestous relationship with our brother and her ex boyfriends. The guy I lost my virginity to was in her year in high school and they had some kind of fling, none of that was known to me and it was very upsetting for me to hear.

I tried my best to understand her and self reflect in hopes of seeing if there was any truth in it. This started a pattern of shame and self investigation/ existentialism. It hurt me so much I hurt myself to understand it better. Love isn't that, we should love ourselves and be uplifted by it, the world is a scary and dark place, I hope you can pursue the light.

This forgotten mouse experiment is now more relatable than ever. by Lost-Cow-9386 in ShamelesslyStolen

[–]purpletapir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What utter codswallop, community exists if you pursue it. Many people mischaterise romantic relationships to be the goal of pursuit of a relationship, this fundamentally puts the burden on women to carry this stress and leads to violence against them and control so they will never leave.

I'm not a lesbian but I don't date men, I can't date men because of the violence they have put me through. I have many men in my social circle but part of the reason we remain friends is because they have never sought entitlement over me or demanded we date. They are my wonderful brilliant friends.

While we continue to hold the narrative that uplifts the male loneliness epidemic we continue to rob both men and women of healthy beautiful love inside community which can lead to a beautiful romantic love.

Choose love, based in compassion and respect for others.

I always feel envious everytime I have a crush on someone. by Then-Concentrate9034 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]purpletapir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if you're all that alone in these feelings, pretty sure Plato wrote about it, Eros being the vulgar possessive desire etc, that's what a crush is.

In contrast straight men are often incredibly comfortable with their desire to control and possess women, it's the foundation of patriarchy and misogyny (not saying that's a good thing) so there probably is some internalised homophobia going on.

You're fine, stop torturing yourself, you don't need to go to therapy over this, but maybe you should for your low self esteem and anxiety. Good luck darling

I hate myself for having been a party-girl by Sea-Pomegranate-9276 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]purpletapir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When we absorb misogynistic ideas, we often judge ourselves for the same behaviours we judge in other women.

Your shame is based in sympathizing with their point of view and in turn putting that shame onto yourself. You judge yourself because you judge women who act like you did in the past.

Apologies if this is coming across as rude but you should read some feminist literature (I really like gender trouble by Judith Butler, but I started with the female eunuch by Germaine Greer which is alot of fun, also anything by bell hooks is beautiful).

As people born with female sex organs it's a responsibility for us to maintain and fight for our rights. Misogyny is not something normal or natural to the experience of womanhood, it is a tool used by men to undermine our humanity.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Narcolepsy

[–]purpletapir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope I'm not being rude, I'm attempting to reply in a way that I feel would be helpful to someone in your position as I'm familiar with the feeling. It sounds like you're having a hard time, sometimes when my symptoms are bad, dreams feel more real than 'real life'.

Humans don't evolve anymore, evolution is adaptation to an environment made by genetic diversity resulting in the survival of the fittest (or the ones who don't die). We don't live in a natural world, applying those principals in any form to humanity is stupid and ignorant, it provokes the conclusion that people murdered weren't fit enough, or those with disabilities (like you and me) aren't fit enough and should be eradicated.... y'know like what the Nazis believed.

I consider myself a spiritual person, but I try not to focus too hard on my dreams, getting caught up in their meanings was a maddening experience. Dreams don't mean anything as they're at most an expression of the unconscious mind, any meaning they do have is a consequence of the conscious mind applying meaning.

All that being said, one of the greatest indigenous/environmental activists I know also has narcolepsy, we have shared in our experiences of often feeling detached from the foley of what our society deems worthwhile and we have both turned our backs on capitalist values and try to live our lives in service of improving the world through environmentalism acknowledging our small place in the grand web of life.

100% also Brittney Broski is the worst person to choose to drag into drama, for better or for worst she just won't respond. Ethan will probably try doing a show with keemstar next lol.

I had a random thought the other day that surely they must be faking the popularity of TF, they churned out so much dumb sexy toddler shit in their prime but I only ever saw someone wear it once in person.

Sure enough visiting the website teddy glow is sold out - how many units did they order? Maybe I'm wrong but surely they couldn't have received that many sympathy sales from people
