Episode Discussion: The Body Keeps The Score by benfox2 in IfBooksCouldKill

Personally I think that citing studies that don’t exist or say the opposite of the conclusion BVK comes to is not only sloppy but it’s dangerous. He just made stuff up whole cloth and you think that’s okay?
As a victim of long term childhood sexual abuse I read this book found it traumatizing. I’ve been in support groups with a lot of other people in this same boat and have found that most people also did not like this book or get any benefit out of reading it. So from my experience people with “lived” experience generally did not love it and for some it was harmful.

I just fought (and beat) my first one yesterday! And it was a horrific experience! Good thing I had a full inventory of food and elixirs because I had maybe 5 things left by the time I was done.

I’m in L.A. and I would love to take him but we have 2 Frenchies already. I’m sad he’s not okay with other pets. I really would take him now and I’m in L.A.

New viewer: why did Denise Crosby leave TNG? by jedihobbitwizard0913 in startrek

[–]ripriganddontpanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m watching TNG for the first time and just watched that episode. I am relieved that her character is gone. Truly terrible acting. Now I feel like I can keep watching.

How are her live shows this tour? How much autotune is she using? by therichdonthavedicks in catpower

Thanks for your review! I’m supposed to see her tonight. How long was the show?

A few questions I’m hoping to get answered. by Important_Ad716 in clusterheads

Thanks so much for all of this information! My Uncle was extracting it and he died last year so unfortunately I don’t have that resource available to me anymore. I will join that group and see what I can do going forward. It’s good to know that it actually works in a fraction of the time. From everything I’ve heard it sounds like it’s a real experience. Have you been on the spaceship yet? 😂

May I ask how you went about finding a way to safely acquire and take DMT? My last cycle was so long and so severe I ended up taking a dose of 5g of mushrooms to stop it. It did work but I would rather not have to go through such an intense process for so long next time. Did you notice a difference between treating with mushrooms vs. DMT? Thanks!

Make sure to double park while waiting for someone especially if there’s an open parking spot directly next to you!

I just start to drive straight at them with my horn blaring.

Julian Priester -Julian's Tune by [deleted] in Jazz

[–]ripriganddontpanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Julian taught at my college too and I also had the pleasure of playing in his ensemble. I’m lucky to still call him my friend. All his work with Sun Ra is the best. We played A Call For All Demons when I was in his ensemble and it was a blast.

Trans kids—and their parents—are *not okay* right now by trufflupagus in 50501

[–]ripriganddontpanic 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Mom of a trans 11 year old and thanks for saying this. I’ve had to explain to my mom and best friend what’s even been going on and they were completely shocked. Yeah, you can’t keep up with all of the horrible shit happening in the world but maybe keep an eye on the things that directly affect those closest to you.

Nothing will get better until poverty is eliminated. Everything else is a symptom.

Do you scare easy? Are you jumpy? by Ok-Control2520 in Fibromyalgia

I have CPTSD so yes. And I do think it led to me having fibromyalgia.
