Hi! The Troublesome Women, a local feminist group in Charlotte, are having our next meetup! We are new but have a ton of members already! We also have a Discord! Our next meetup is next week so if you would like to join or would like more information about the groups, please DM me.

This is a group for women looking for community and a safe space for your anger at the injustice against women in this world. We are building resources, volunteer opportunities, and book clubs.

This group is inclusive to ALL women.

Hi! I’ve started a local feminist group and today is first official meeting. I wanted to reach out to this community to ask for blessings for our safety and protection. This is a community that has been started out of rage at everything around us and now we are starting to build something beautiful. I ask if this community can bless us with the strength and courage to keep going even when things will be difficult. And, as the person who started this group and now feels responsible for them and I want all of them to have a voice, I ask for a personal blessing. I ask for the strength to keep going even when I’m terrified. Even when that voice in my head is telling me that I’m overreacting, I can’t do this, and that I won’t be able to change things. Thank you 🫶

Edit to add: I just got back from our first official meetup and I just wanted to say thank you for your amazing blessings. I feel so inspired by my fellow sisters and I feel all of their stories in my bones. We are going to do amazing things. 🔥

Hi! This book is mmm intense alpha-omega-alpha relationship. I don’t necessarily want mmm books (thought I don’t mind them), more so I like how Beckett is like with Arden in the beginning. I really like that this large, intimidating alpha absolutely melts for the timid omega and turns completely soft but he’s still like feral lol. I also love how he cages his body around Arden’s! It feels so protective! Does anyone have any similar recs?

Hi! A few months ago I made a post about how I’m angry and tired as a woman of the way the world is and asked if anyone felt the same. Turns out a ton of you did! We now have an official Discord and name, The Troublesome Women! We have volunteer ideas, event plans, and a monthly book club! We are an inclusive group that welcomes ALL women.

We are having our first official meetup as The Troublesome Women this weekend. If you are a woman who is exhausted with the daily news articles of another woman who has died a preventable death because of this administration, then please join us. If you’re angry with how women’s bodies are viewed as men’s property, then you are definitely with The Troublesome Women. And if it burned you alive when all the men couldn’t understand why women were choosing the bear without belittling us or and wouldn’t take the time to understand what we deal with on a daily basis, then we need your anger. This is a group that is going to change things and be safe space for women’s anger. If you would like to join the discord or our first official meeting, please DM me! And to all the men that will inevitably invade this space because how dare women have a post on their own, just know your comments fuel our anger which fuels change so thanks 😊

Hi! I’ve been using the Charlotte Tilbury setting spray since November. I got a pack of two minis and went through one absolutely loving it and having no problems. When I started using the second bottle last week, I noticed immediately it had a perfume smell to it. It didn’t smell bad, but I usually avoid scented things for my sensitive face. The product still kept my makeup fresh all day, but I noticed halfway through the day my face would start itching and it would get worse with each day. I was also using another new product and I thought it was the problem, but I haven’t used it in three days and I’m still getting this face rash. Did CT reformulate their setting spray and maybe I got one old formula and one new? Has anyone else experienced this? It’s just so odd to me! And I hate it because the spray really worked!

Hi!! Some of you may remember my post a while back asking if any other women in Charlotte wanted to meetup because we are angry? Well I had an overwhelming response that honestly surprised me and has made me determined to create a group in Charlotte that supports women and their emotions!

I just wanted to post that we are going to be doing monthly meetups (name of group is pending) and all of our discussions will be on our new Discord server. There we will talk about future meetups, post resources and news, and a safe space for women to vent their anger without judgement!

If you are a woman in the Charlotte area and are interested, please DM me 💕💕💕

Still Angry But With Purpose

Hi! I’m starting 7.5 mg on Sunday unexpectedly and I’m just reaching out to see if anyone has any advice? I’ve only been on 5mg on a month and a half and haven’t seen any progress. So my dr and I decided to try 7.5mg, but I’m doing a three month supply and won’t be able to go down so I want to prepare for any increase side effects. My insurance is ending coverage starting next month, so I’m doing this three month supply to hold me over till I get a better paying job to do the compound.

Hi! I’ve been on Zepbound for almost three months now. Almost immediately I experienced the weird side effect of not really liking coffee anymore. I cannot stress how devastating this was!! I live on coffee and espresso everyday, have since I was way too young to be drinking it! Thankfully I like tea but it’s just not feeling the same. The morning ritual feels gone. I’m curious if anyone else who experienced this side effect and what they drink now. Any good coffee alternatives that you like? Did the coffee come back (please please please tell me it does)?

Hi! I want to start curating a non fiction feminist collection and am looking for more recommendations! I currently have: The Witches are Coming by Lindy West, Rage Becomes Her by Soraya Chemlay, Angry Girls Will Get Us Through by Rebecca Traister, Good Woman by Savala Nolan, and Invisible Women by Caroline Criado-Perez. Thank you for any recommendations!

Hi!! So I got the Mixsoon soondy centella essence as a GWP a couple of weeks ago, right around the same time my cheeks decided to combust in the worst cystic inflamed acne I’ve ever had. Like I was sobbing in how horrific it looked (I think I know what caused it but can’t confirm). I saw this in my samples collection and looked it up to see what it did. I tried it morning and night and the immediate relief I got was amazing. This has saved my skin. Everything is now completely gone and no scarring. And my skin feels so freaking soft! I decided to incorporate cica-hyal soothing moisturizer into my morning routine since I have extremely sensitive skin and I’m prone to rashes due to autoimmune. I’m just curious if anyone else has tried these products and have anything else to recommend from this line. Like I said I have sensitive acne prone skin. I used to have really oily skin but in the past few months I haven’t been experiencing it as heavy.

Hi! I can’t for the life of me remember what this book was called. One of the characters was a server at a restaurant and his family, more so his brother, treat him like crap and his brother is getting married and belittles his choice to work in a restaurant. The restaurant is owned by two women and their son is running it for them and he’s crushing on the other MC from afar and things get rolling when he goes to rescue the MC from his brother when he was trying on suits. I think it had daddy kink in it but it for sure had size difference. Anyone know?
