Dr Reinenstein she/her/it

Long time educator transitioning to my new life as a personal trainer. Still committed to trauma-informed practices. Fierce Luddite -- in the original sense. I don't take kindly to unsolicited advice-giving and mansplaining. Typos come on a regular basis. Promotion of ai is an immediate block.

awww. Just curious if you think she still needs it, or is it merely a calming ritual at this point?

awwww, I have a similar story about Forest. Bc I already had three cats I felt like I couldn’t keep her when I found her in the woods. So I took her to the shelter the next day. I cried that whole day and planned to get her back. Three days later she was home but wouldn’t eat for several days. The vet said something abt failure to thrive. But I knew she was traumatized and she just needed extra love. And I loved her extra and she started to eat.

that's not harsh at all. You're protecting yourself. We're simply taught that being nice is more important than self protection. You have a 100 percent right to protect your physical well-being, and mental too.

my heart goes out to you. That’s an incredibly unsafe situation to be in through no fault of your own. I hope you feel safe now. 💗

Something that happened a couple of years ago was that a FedEx driver used my number to text me outside of delivery related business. I complained to the company and they removed him from the route. He got mad about this and put a security block on my address. For months I couldn’t get my things and there was no way to remove the block. So this is what it’s like in the world when women try to protect themselves from unsafe men.

Ho boy, after a presentation one of my students gave today, we’re doing a deep dive into toxic masculinity. Squashing this before it goes any further.

Because my imminent move is no longer imminent, I decided to hang my pictures. @npub13hd…h32h may recognize one of these. Others of note, gorgeous aunt Carole on the left.

I wish I had some advice for you. A bunch of my students are applying to college too. It’s not going to help atm but this is a terrible, awful bubble and it won’t last. 🙁

that’s so interesting. They just happen to be the teams that appeal to you? Usually it’s, you know, hometown favorites. Many a tigers game I’ve seen in the stands. Memories. . .

2025-10-01 00:37:32 UTC

Therapy is a blessing and curse. It's a blessing because it provides you a path for healing. It's a curse because you can see the dysfunction in yourself before any healing happens.

If there are any comedians out there who would like to throw this teacher a bone and give me some ideas I can share with my students, it would be so, so appreciated! I'm teaching a section on standup for my public speaking class, and I could use some ideas to share with my students about how to create a short set, writing, working with the audience, anything really. Boosts appreciated!! #comedy #comedian #standup

my family has owned a health food store for nearly fifty years, and from my extensive personal experience, I can tell you that if you put walnuts in them, they will indeed be health food.

This old lady has decided she’s retired, and she’s no longer going to keep up on her cat responsibilities like bathing herself. Her coat gets really oily and gross, how often is it ok to bathe a cat?

While it is endearing and sweet that Forest sucks and nurses on her blankie, a throw that is saturated with kitten spit is also totally disgusting.

Would you thank him for his service on my behalf? My dad served in Vietnam, and he died when I was a kid, so I never got to thank him.

I have been sucked in a la siren style by a little tiny cry from the woods. I captured what I thought was a baby kitten and in actuality turned out to be a demon. Don’t be fooled by the cute pic; she‘s the devil. #CatsOfMastodon

When you throw up in your bed — your safest, most cozy spot on the planet — because you ate something you shouldn’t have and now you don’t have your special bed to sleep in bc it smells like vomit, I’m sorry but that’s seems like karma to me.

Good news! We are recruiting participants for research on trauma-informed practices. We are looking for college instructors or academic administrators who are interested in participating in a survey about how institutions of higher education are implementing trauma-informed practices. 1/2 #AcademicChatter #Academia #HigerEd
