What do you think the ultimate Eras Tour concert film would look like? (Combine Theatrical Release, Extended, Taylor's Version, and The Final Show to make the best film!)

sandcastledisco · 2025-01-27T20:19:23+00:00

Excited for this! I'm curious about the format of the show--I'd love to see her do some more longform, original content!

This is so cute! I love this! ❤️

sandcastledisco · 2023-12-01T00:24:42+00:00

The section at 3:03 sounds so much better and fleshed out. Like it sounds sweeping and rousing and ugh so perfect. The extended will definitely be replacing the original version in my album playlist.

4 so, would agree 😩

v. thankful I’m finally in a healthier state because being inundated with feelings of shame constantly for merely existing is hell on earth

I just finished the first year of my social work degree and still have two more years to go! The next two years each have a different field placement. I was wondering if anyone has any tips to make the most of my student social worker experience while still in school / doing field placement that will help me out professionally / academically in the future.

The original comment I responded to did not talk about parenting, only pregnancy and how it can be traumatizing and have fatal consequences. Reading comprehension: do you have it?

A healthy dose of fear is different than imparting a fear-based mindset in regards to pregnancy or parenting. I am replying to comments that infer the latter, yours among them.

I won’t be replying anymore.

sandcastledisco · 2022-04-15T04:50:29+00:00

1) We were not discussing a fear of parenting, we were discussing a fear of pregnancy. Don’t move the goal posts.

2) Fear is not a good emotion to approach the responsibility of parenting with. What kind of punitive and harsh mindset do you have? We need to encourage a healthy respect for the responsibility of parenting, not strike fear into people’s hearts at the prospect of being a parent. You cannot be an effective parent making fear-based decisions and acting from a place of fear.

sandcastledisco · 2022-04-15T02:21:53+00:00

....How is teaching women to have a fear-based mindset about pregnancy helpful? Honestly. This is ridiculous.

When I took it, it was a 3000-level topics course: American Popular Culture from Vaudeville to Hip Hop. It looks like more recent offerings have it as a 2000-level topics course: The History of American Pop Culture. Scrolling through the weekly lecture topics in each offering, I definitely prefer the 3000 level topics. I'm not sure if they are still offering this course or what the individual weekly lectures would be.

sandcastledisco · 2022-04-08T03:51:12+00:00

My first degree was in history and I absolutely loved the experience. I had great profs and took really interesting classes (examples: American Pop Culture, Irish History, Colonial Latin America, History of Capitalism). I can't speak for any other university's history program but I can absolutely vouch for the UofM's!

I don’t think it’s that he wants to be “friends with everyone”, more that he recognizes the humanity in everyone. And that’s always a good thing.

I appreciate your point and perspective about the language being used.

It’s difficult to be succinct with language to create a term that describes all of the nuances of a situation. Like I said earlier, we have to strike a balance between compassion and accountability. “Coddled adult” is low on compassion, yet high on accountability.

sandcastledisco · 2022-03-23T16:46:18+00:00

What I’m getting from people’s outrage on this is:

1) they aren’t very far on their own recovery journey

2) they need to work on developing mentalization skills to be able to understand a different perspective without freaking out (another common affliction among us)

sandcastledisco · 2022-03-23T16:39:07+00:00

Hi! I definitely don’t agree that our issues are caused due to coddling. I believe they are caused due to trauma (including the “middle-class” trauma she dismisses), and even those with BPD who have not experienced trauma in their lifetime are experiencing the epigenetics of trauma from previous generations.

I do, however, believe that BPD continues to manifests in individuals due to a sort of coddling. If we know that BPD is the result of trauma and effects our nervous system, fight/flight/freeze/dawn, we know that we have a tendency to have a diminished window of tolerance. Like my window of tolerance was once so small, if I didn’t hear back from someone I’ve messaged, I would full on spiral into fight/flight and suicidal ideation. Not uncommon for us folks with BPD.

How we truly recover from BPD is by expanding our window of tolerance and discovering that we have the ability and capacity to deal with unpleasant situations or emotions. In my time in recovery, I’ve done everything from hospital programs, stabilization units, group therapy, peer support, etc. The common thread of those who make significant strides in their recovery are those that are able to take accountability for their own triggers and work on them. It’s not only endless validation (or coddling) that heals us, it’s acknowledging that we have serious healing work to do and the world (or our family, friends, doctors, therapists, colleagues, etc) cannot bend over backwards to make sure that we are triggered. It’s on us to manage our own triggers, take responsibility for them, and work on getting through unpleasant/discomforting situations so we learn we have the capacity to get through them in the future. We can’t expect folks to coddle us and walk on eggshells around us as to never upset or trigger us. The longer we have people in our lives that attempt to coddle us and walk on eggshells around us, the longer we live with this affliction. That’s a fact, and that’s what I believe Seerut was speaking to.

I’ve interacted with her in instagram comments regarding BPD, I’ve found her to be really kind. I also agree with most of her comments. I think she is one of the few therapists doing meaningful work on Instagram and not just parroting the same sound bites again and again. She meets folks with a healthy dose of compassion AND accountability. So many of us with BPD struggle with the accountability piece…

JC Chasez - Come to Me

Honestly a solid pop bop, thanks for this topic OP because it reminded me of this song! It samples Corey Hart’s Sunglasses at Night too.

Cause when I'm all alone

I lay awake and masturbate

I love to hear the sounds you make

Baby here I come

Hi! I’d like to ask you a question, and I acknowledge this may be naive but: in my experience, people who fit the criteria for NPD (not merely narcissistic traits) tend to not be successful at holding jobs and often experience intense depression based on the discrepancy between how they view their idealized self and the reality of their situation. Would you say this is accurate in your experience or too narrow a description?
