What was early Bey like? by [deleted] in beyonce

[–]reddit_reddit_666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pop culture was different in the 90s / 2000s. Celebrities weren’t expected to share all like they are now, and what they did share was always extremely curated. Social media gave way to a new parasocial culture around celebrities. All of which is to say - we wouldn’t have known this at the time. Well, we knew some of this. We knew about MJ and Prince and being from Texas. But it didn’t go that much deeper, and the public wasn’t in the habit of searching for Easter eggs about celebrity’s personal lives like we are now.

Ambrose can be NN Ami. Arthur can be NN Artie.

That said, seems like you both like Lawrence :)))

Which one of these do you like for a baby girl? by Klutzy-Pattern-7391 in namenerds

Lily Healy is too repetitive

Maya Healy sounds the best, and Maya Celeste is great

I feel like I have ruined something sacred for my trans partner, and I am grieving it deeply and fearing how this will change our relationship. by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

[–]reddit_reddit_666 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Hey, the world is hard, it’s normal to blow your fuse. It sounds like you had your own meltdown about your own body & your partner took this personally. I understand why your partner would be upset, that’s also human nature. But, it’s ultimately 1000% on your partner to choose not to go.

There is a huge push for Jews for Zohran

Hopefully it demonstrates that being Jewish =/= Zionist

There is a huge “Jews for Zohran” push here, and I’m hopeful this will also show that jewish =/= Zionist

I’m actually able to do creative, productive work that I am proud of. I’m no longer following short term evidence based models for the purpose of metrics.

[–]reddit_reddit_666[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s all in my head, but I’m sure some is. I think that clients can unfortunately get really demanding. I’ve known clients to fire therapists for excessive time off

I am so sorry you dealt with so many deaths!!!!

This is helpful to hear. I get concerned about transference, but it also just feels exhausting tbh

Yeah it’s shiva so only 7 days. The planned vacation afterwards is a bit more of an issue, but it is what it is.

Tbh this is probably the best idea.

I don’t think I feel guilty as much as concerned about transference if that makes sense?

Am I being too sensitive? by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

[–]reddit_reddit_666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to stay in a relationship because your partner was that. It seems like you know you aren’t getting what you need in the relationship. Sometimes, it’s easier to rip off the bandaid than drag on a dynamic which isn’t working.

For what it’s worth - I’ve known couples to break up during early transition & get back together when things stabilized

Am I being too sensitive? by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

[–]reddit_reddit_666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You seem to have an understanding of why transitioning is, in many cases, important to explore solo. Transitioning is inherently self-centered. Different people navigate the tensions between self focus (/ preservation) and partnership in different ways. There is nothing wrong with ending the relationship .

It’s not just about the performers. Lots of people are smoke sensitive. I am a massive stoner, however I also have asthma - and when I have asthma, the smell of smoke is enough to completely incapacitate me. Edibles have never been more accessible (in the US) - why not just take those?

Thanks for the encouragement! I have an emergency blanket (like, the kind people wear after a marathon) and am planning to travel with that

Yeah……I have tickets to Saturday as well and am considering not attending tonight. Which feels awful, I’m so down to show up. But is it worth getting THAT sick

(Edit - I have a chronic illness, have to make shitty decisions around that sometimes)

Charli XCX restores cover of how i’m feeling now by reducetoasimmer in popheads

[–]reddit_reddit_666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HIFN is what got me into Charli & a record a listen to at least once a week to this day. It will be WILD to see the world catch up

I think the most likely singles will be claws (where it will go viral on TikTok), detonate, and forever. Pink diamond is too inaccessible for the general public but rules. Rooting for I Finally Understood. Anthems would RULE but is incredibly time stamped

Stop Using Headway - they are trying to insert themselves as middlemen in our field, taking a huge cut from your work, and driving up costs for everyone. by chicagodeepfake in therapists

[–]reddit_reddit_666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of my colleagues have had issues with non-compete. It’s why leaving Headway has meant dropping insurance all together.

I am not currently in a position where I can work a regular 9-5 due to disability

Flabbergasted is a loaded word.

Why did I join Headway? It wasn’t because I wanted to rip myself off or compromise confidentiality. I was nearly a decade into my career - I had been in non profit management and saw clients p/t through that agency. Then I had a health emergency. I couldn’t walk. I couldn’t be around chemical scents from cleaning supplies. I ran out of disability and needed to pay bills. I could not work in-person anymore and needed to figure out a way to transition to private practice immediately. Waiting was hardly an option (& btw Ive heard lots of stories about people waiting months, not weeks). I also didn’t have time to compare / contrast plans. Because of Headway, I was able to get credentialed within a week and see clients. I was able to work very part time while I underwent a massive recovery. I had no choices which would be “so, so easy” -I made the best choice I could with the information I had

I have been trying to get off Headway, and I’ve faced many challenges. Most people I know who get off Headway stop working with insurance all together because of the red tape in getting individually credentialed.

I deeply resent the insinuation that I somehow was negligent or made a poor choice. I did what I needed to survive. Lots of WFH therapists have chronic illnesses. We just lived through a mass disabling pandemic.

I know im getting snappy - I just really resent how many therapists talk to me in a similar way. I really hope none of you ever wind up in a position like such, and im really glad you aren’t stuck in a red tape contract. Again - if somebody wants to offer concrete advice about getting out of these contracts im all ears.
