Datalounge Safe Space Thread

OP, thank you. I have a question on guys. I can never figure out guys and I am one. Why would a guy talk to me one day, ignore me the next but follow me around when he ignores me. I don’t want to ask—I feel that’s too “I won’t be ignored, Dan”. Help me safe space!

Serious question. Why are guys like this? Ugh!!

....

I feel very attacked right now.

R1 go towards the bright light inside you, avoid those who don't make your light shine brighter.

R3 Come in, sit down, feel safe, we love you!

We understand that, sometimes, mug cradling just isn't enough. You're ready for a more intense, dare we say, EXTREME comfort! Our workshop on soup cradling includes a FREE Safe Space Soup Cradler at no extra cost. Bro, you haven't cradled until you snuggle up to this bad boy! Yow!

Something for everyone!

Mrs. R67, my thumb rings....

I'm just CONCERNED they may get caught in that hole. Then I'd freak and try whipping the bowl away only to have VERY HOT SOUP fly all over Bekka's face.

For those of you suffering from fibro, there will be free dispensers discreetly positioned throughout the space, courtesy of another corporate sponsor.

Pebbles the Hamster would have loved it here.

I am donating this decorative plate for our wall. I was going to order a complete set of 12, but painted plates are marked as UNSAFE to eat off.

I hope this information is not too upsetting for some, but I think it's important to get the word out there.

Cozy.

I sadly do not feel safe, as I just got a DMV notice I was to renew my registration in December. I just paid online, and was notified i would be getting a receipt emailed to me.

It has been 24 minutes and no such receipt has appeared!!

OP is Linda

[quote]Cunt

R111, Are you one of those troll-hunters? The provenance of any particular thread shouldn't really matter, IMO. I wouldn't have opened this thread if I thought it was Linda's, but I'm still glad I did. Even the silliest EST thread can actually produce some well-thought out advice or wisdom. Now, back to safety.

I am highly allergic to cats and I consider all these GIFs attempted murder.

TRIGGERED

The preponderance of kittens and cats in this thread is slightly triggering, so I'm posting this as a corrective.

[quote]Are you one of those troll-hunters?

No, R112. I was in my blocked list realized it was Linda the Cunt.

Scaring animals is NOT safe, take that stuff out of the safe space r134

I believe the little fishy in the bowl would disagree with you, R137. Safe.

Do not be alarmed. The cat is only gumming the lace, NOT biting it.

I'd give you all big hugs if I weren't so prickly!

Just made hot coffee for everyone!

whooo is feeling safe?

I hope by “hot” you mean tepid r234, we don’t want anyone to spill the coffee on themselves and feel slightly uncomfortable for 10 seconds. Namaste.

OMG R191! Fingering for the Lord by Loretta Fudge. I hope that's fudge on her fingers and not something else.

All tucked in, safe and sound

Yes R237, tepid of course! We don't want any booboos in our safe space!

r285 I say this with love, but the line of commas you use to fill in the requirred "characters" in the empty text box, like you just did, makes me feel unsafe. They are almost like angry little bullets, shooting out.

Let me suggest you click in the box, then hit your space bar four times. It will accomplish the same thing, but not be as visually jarring to some of us.

Thank you for hearing me.

I just can't sleep, feeling so badly that I may have appeared to "trash talk" R284 and their use of commas. We are not here not criticize each other's postings, or posting techniques. And for doing so, I apologize.

In recompence, I hope R284 will accept the gift of this video tour of Colleen Moore's famous dollhouse. And I fervently hope we may all continue to grow together, in peace, in this blessed Safe Space.

Dear Safe Space,

A hunky angel to protect you in your safe space

This Angel works too.

Trigger warning next time please R318

If you want me to feel safe, please reply to my thread about Kyle Allen a former ballerino, model now actor. He lookslike Heath Ledger

You need your ego stroked, r324?

Sorry, you’re in the wrong safe space.

Wow, I can't believe no one has viciously corrected my grammar ("then" instead of "than") at R315! This really IS a safe space!

I'm so sorry, R323.

I'm alive and remembered andI've outlived them all!!

Thank you, Safe Space.

LOL thanks R327

Wow! This really is a safe place. To hide.

The ultimate safe place, where you can drive forever and no one can hear you scream.

R334 Is that KEVIN SPACEY???

He is not welcome here!! And I am surprised I should have to speak for all who now feel violated.

Hi, All! I am donating some books to the Safe Space Lending Library shelf. Please feel free to add your own titles. And remember others may be waiting to borrow a book, so I think we should encourage a 1-week checkout limit, per book.

Of course, I'm not making any hard and fast rules. Just an idea, and am eager to hear from others on this evolving and inclusive project.

[quote] Is that KEVIN SPACEY??? He is not welcome here!!

I thought it might be okay because he appeared covered in puppies. Plus someone else upthread let Nosferatu in, an no one said a WORD.

[quote]R338 someone else upthread let Nosferatu in, an no one said a WORD.

We had blocked it from our memory. [italic]But thanks for bringing it up.[/italic]

You know, if I may say with all due respect, and compassion, one might look very carefully at one considers posting here. This is a SAFE SPACE. Before posting something, maybe take 24 hours to really ask yourself, "Is this [italic]safe[/italic]?" Meditate on it. Journal about it. Write down your dreams the next morning and analyze them. Maybe even post here and ask the rest of the group how they feel about what you're considering posting before actually doing it. In short, treat the rest of the group how you would like to be treated, in an ideal world.

Just some food for thought.

Make a wish for a safe happy space

Warm, cozy, safe

[quote]R341 Make a wish for a safe happy space

Are you implying we DON'T have one here? That makes me feel unsafe.

Please chose your words carefully.

Your attention to this matter is appreciated.

Oh heavens no R343, it's very safe here, I meant to wish for it to remain safe. Sorry for any confusion. I brought cupcakes to calm everyone down and show how sorry I am for my careless words!

Gum drops and snow drops and warm winter thistles,

Milk shakes and licorice and bawdy epistles,

Loving the way that a jock's speedo clings,

These are a few of my favorite things.

[quote]R344 Oh heavens no [R343], it's very safe here, I meant to wish for it to remain safe. Sorry for any confusion. I brought cupcakes to calm everyone down and show how sorry I am for my careless words!

oh thank you so much : ) Of course I hate that I can immediatly be so untrusting...yet this world made me that way.

I guess I'm just not used to this much safety! It is tragic, really.

PS: Are those lovely cupcakes glutten free? We should probably label them.

Relax. Refresh. Renew.

Come sit with kitty on a safe, fluffy cloud. Safe.

Is anyone hungry for something to fill the soul and tummy? I’ve made a nut loaf, obviously it is nutless so as to avoid both physical and emotional triggers that comes with the word “nut”. Recipe attached. 🙏🏿

r350 please don't call it a nut loaf, I find the n-word very triggering. Please refer to as a "not loaf". Thank you.

🎶 Thank you for being a friend 🎶

In the Safe Space, someone always answers your call.

Thanks, Safe Space.

Safe.

Welcome Home, Mr. Bailey.

I treasure you people.

I love you, Safe Space.

In your safe space, you can celebrate who you really are.

So true! In the Safe Space, there's no screening of calls, no Caller I.D.

Hi, I'm the original R337, who started our Book Club Shelf.

I've been hearing from some of you, and I'm so sorry my premier selection for our bookcase was [italic]Little Women.[/italic] I didn't intend to disparage or in any way "diminish" any women here! Of course women don't have to be little, in any way, shape or form. That's just sizist, and insulting.

I ALSO apologize to any men in our Safe Space, who might have feel slighted by my chosing a "girls book," first. I am therefor, and immediately, chucking in a copy of the sequel, [italic]Little Men.[/italic]

PS: the cover might look a little sketchy, but it's really not pedo-ish, at all.

Anyway, STAY SAFE!

SHHHHHH-afe!

Um, is she in a wheelchair?

We don’t use words like “wheelchair” here r369. It’s a differently abled mobility chair. Peace and love. 💕

Brothers & Sisters in Safety -

Just wanted to get this out to all who might be having a troubling, or unsafe, weekend.

Yes, the safest post of all is one with no words.

Well played.

There is a lesson here for all of us...

Ahhh, safe, warm, and cozy.
