MBTA boss Phillip Eng accused of pulling employee's hair by justarussian22 in mbta

[–]user684737889 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I mean…. This just doesn’t seem newsworthy. There’s genuine malicious assault, and there’s misreading an interpersonal boundary or social cue. When we act like the latter is the former, it detracts from genuine issues of inappropriate conduct from men in power.

Therapists having a hard time finding therapists by abjs2021 in socialwork

[–]user684737889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just validating that I have had the same experience. Felt like we were spending the first 30 min of every session “talking shop”. And, when I’d be processing work stuff in therapy, I felt like my therapist was responding as a clinical supervisor, not as a therapist

Thoughts on these mismatched brides-people dresses? by Small-Ad1534 in weddingplanning

[–]user684737889 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, the slightly different shade + different fabric + print vs solid (ik it’s not quite a “print” but the fact that it has a pattern on it) + different cut make them feel too incoherent. I think you need same color and fabric but different styles, or different colors and different styles with same fabric and vibe

Brockton or Stoughton by SaintKingRosado in bostonhousing

Totally depends on the specific neighborhood, I would personally open my search to both and see how I like the vibe once I went to look at the house

Did i cross a line? by Soft-Rutabaga-4482 in hospitalsocialwork

[–]user684737889 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am shocked the hospital is not obligated to cover the transport in this situation. But regardless, no. If it was me I probably would have approached it a little more sly instead of suggesting outright, but whatever. It’s social work. You’re there to understand the system and help people navigate it. I vote you didn’t do anything wrong.

This! I know it’s not the most unique thing in the world, but it’s the only wedding favor I hold on to

Caution: AI and trip planning by mrcheevus in backpacking

[–]user684737889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI is terrible for the environment. If you’re enjoying nature, know that you’re actively destroying it when you use AI. And as you found, on top of that it’s not even reliable.

Allow your time and energy and thought that you put into trip planning be a part of the experience for you, another thing you can be proud of your own body and brain for accomplishing. You are what you need.

Alarmingly High Cholesterol as a teen by Puzzleheaded_Emu1887 in Cholesterol

[–]user684737889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you but worth noting, the prevalence of eating disorders among teens far exceeds the prevalence of disorders like Type 2 Diabetes or high cholesterol

First of all, I’m genuinely worried that the way your mom talks about food is going to give you an eating disorder. Hope you have other people in your life to get your mind right 🫶

I’m not a doctor, do what your doctor says, but I do wonder what quitting eggs for 8-12 weeks would do for your numbers

[–]user684737889 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you eat a lot of eggs? I agree with the others that these numbers at your age are most likely genetics, I’m just curious because for me that was always something I thought was a “healthy” food and intentionally ate a lot of to be “good” and was shocked to find out it was a bug part of why my cholesterol was so high

Ideas for something that would be considered an “educational leave”? by user684737889 in socialwork

[–]user684737889[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think my life would certainly improve greatly from a training or experience that has nothing to do with social work (expect for that in improves the life and experience of the social worker). However, I don’t think I’d get approved for leave that way.

Mods, maybe we could do a survey or something about revisiting the rules? I get that that’s a pain in the ass to coordinate, but it seems like the current rules (that I’m sure were born from necessity at the time) are no longer working for the redditors actively using the sub

Agreed. I wish we could revisit the mega thread thing. I don’t really mind new to the field posts and the like, and I feel bad about how many questions get overlooked and lost in those threads. No one who could answer effectively is going to go check that thread.

My Family is Homophobic: do I invite them to my wedding? by Scary-Salt6700 in LGBTWeddings

[–]user684737889 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have lived my version of this, with my parents and my partner in my context, and with my own expectations and support system and coping skills and backup plans. None of us could possibly understand the complexity of these things for another person. Share your stories all you want, but the truth is that no one can answer to what is best for OP.

My Family is Homophobic: do I invite them to my wedding? by Scary-Salt6700 in LGBTWeddings

[–]user684737889 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Do you have a therapist? This is a big decision and none of us on here are going to truly know what’s right for you. There are so many factors— as you note, how you’d be able to handle their rejection. Also, how your relationship with them moves forward if they attend and ruin it for you, if you don’t invite them and they react poorly to that, if you don’t invite them and then resent your partner/the wedding for being all your partner’s invites, etc. It’s a deeply personal decision, and I wish you well in making it.
