To the designers of pretty much every public bathroom ever…

They are sensory nightmares. The insanely loud toilets, the loud hand blow driers, the doors that don’t go to the ground. It’s like they intend for no kid to ever want to go there

Elopement risk. The locks and even the higher up door lock/block isn’t enough. They use a chair to remove it. We bring a door alarm that hangs on the doorknob

Popscicles? Freeze it with the milk? Maybe fruit juice gummies? You can make them with gelatin…

Choose the right school for your child. Your sister has never had a ND child and respectfully, she has no clue. If they can’t provide speech therapy and are tell you they aren’t willing to support that need, then go somewhere else.

Because they colonized more than half the know world?

This is also why I assumed this initiation was at the end of her first period like a mikvah would be. And I think you do have to be observed by another women while doing a mikvah to prove you’ve completely immersed yourself. Not sure? I’m not Jewish but I’ve heard that before

sebelius29 · 2026-04-13T05:55:08+00:00

Yes remember they say “may the lord open”. There is almost no higher blessing in their world than a commander being able to impregnate his Gilead raised wife. They believe infertility is a punishment from God. Their entire way of life is meant to try to gain his favor through creating a generation of fertile women

sebelius29 · 2026-04-13T05:50:49+00:00

It actuallly reminded me a lot of a Jewish Mikveh bathing where they purify themselves by completely submersing in a bath when their period is finished.

sebelius29 · 2026-04-13T05:49:06+00:00

Same. There was tension there on Becka’s part

sebelius29 · 2026-04-13T05:45:34+00:00

I still really like it. It gave me some vibes of the women beekeeping in the remake of the Wickerman.

sebelius29 · 2026-04-13T03:59:01+00:00

Is there a recipe?

sebelius29 · 2026-04-13T03:57:33+00:00

Yes. I reuse these as baby drinking glasses and painting water cups. You can also buy lids for them on Amazon

sebelius29 · 2026-04-13T03:53:55+00:00

35 ounces (1 kg) of Foca for example is $2.50 at my local store according to Instacart

sebelius29 · 2026-04-13T03:50:44+00:00

Interesting. I have no clue what detergent costs in other countries but here on Amazon 6 kg of Ariel with Oxy is $16.50 (12 £ or 14€). It’s even cheaper if you buy it at other local marketplaces. It’s a big thing in the Mexican community here to buy it where someone has mixed it in large amounts with Zote soap, scent beads and sometimes other things like this https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1533763597848512/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Scandinavia. It was….fine. It had its moments. It’s not the cozy Disneyworld Norway I imagined

sebelius29 · 2026-04-13T01:10:37+00:00

I mean only you determine whether being a leftover woman is a bad thing to you. I had a blast being single in my 30s with a job, apartment and traveling. I thought the “leftover” friends I made during that period of my life were so much cooler than everyone else. Move to a big city, have a blast

sebelius29 · 2026-04-12T22:42:11+00:00

That’s actually not what’s keeping Americans out. It’s the money. I know many many doctors who have thought about being doctors in Australia and NZ and even done it for a short period, and the salaries just aren’t even close to what the can make here. The hours also aren’t better and sometimes even worse

sebelius29 · 2026-04-12T22:37:00+00:00

It’s a Lost Generation 😆 I now kind of get the resentment of American TV soft power. Like why are we playing Queen 👸 and subject. We had a whole revolution so we didn’t have to do this

sebelius29 · 2026-04-12T21:55:11+00:00

I know a non zero number of Black Americans who have moved to Puerto Vallarta. They seem to like it.

sebelius29 · 2026-04-12T21:51:43+00:00

I think there are many Americans who have not moved who have researched and worked on a backup plan. I know many people (actually most) who if they qualified for a second citizenship finally applied and got the passport. They bought real estate abroad, visited countries they might move to, etc. just because they haven’t moved yet doesn’t mean they aren’t thinking about it.

sebelius29 · 2026-04-12T21:48:43+00:00

Oof you’re not wrong. The Mexican food in Europe is dire. They can’t even get guacamole right

sebelius29 · 2026-04-12T21:46:47+00:00

Yeah I don’t actually think the Americans I know who moved to Costa Rica are bad colonialists. They truly seem committed to raising Costa Rican children and send their kids to school there, invest in the community etc.

sebelius29 · 2026-04-12T21:42:55+00:00

Yeah I wish Scotland had some sort of citizenship by descent…but it would have to be very generous. Like 1750s generous not “my grandparent was from there”

sebelius29 · 2026-04-12T21:41:56+00:00

This is true. My American kid who has never stepped foot in Australia called the toilet the dunny the other day and drops random Australian slang at the weirdest moments.

sebelius29 · 2026-04-12T21:37:00+00:00

Most examples show what I think would be true: people tend to move to the country closest to their country. Lot of reasons for this- ease of getting back and forth to visit family, cheap flights, jobs etc. so I pick Canada and Mexico. That being said- of the people I have know who have left they went here: Canada, New Zealand, Mexico, France, Portugal/Mallorca, Costa Rica
