Hi Sharks,
In the DTE tab, wher can i actually submit my braodband claim.. Thanks for the help in advance.

Like, genuinely mentally ill that I could feeeel their anxiety or depression. How do people live like this and how do I not let it affect me? Maybe this is mean but I’ve never had issues like that and I don’t like being around that energy even if they treat me fine.

Hey fellow fishies! There have been some questions lately about men lurking in this bowl. I’ve reached out to Fishbowl and a rep reassured me that only users who identify as women are allowed access to this bowl. If any men have misrepresented their gender in order to gain access, please flag the user and/or reach out to a bowl leader or Fishbowl support asap! Definitely want to make sure this space remains safe and private so we can continue to share freely 🙏
