My very best friend in the whole world mentioned a trans person, shook his head, and remarks that “we need a purge”.

I really, truly thought that different ideologies could get along until then. With that comment, I realized that, no, I cannot get along with an ideology that believes that marginalized groups “should not exist”. Because, deep down, a belief for their “non-existence” is a belief for their death. And I now refuse to have friends who believe things like that.

Civility is compliance. I kicked him out of my house, my final words to him, as he angrily screamed at me, being “bye, bitch, bye!” It hurt me so badly to lose my closest friend that day, but my life really did improve after that. Now he might actually have to pay for the therapy he so desperately needs. God knows, he won’t, because he believes that “mental health excuses are just pussy shit”, but considering he’s howling that no one has wanted to fuck him for the last x amount of years shows that his anger and bitterness are still holding him back. He’s insufferable.

Fuck any belief that punches down. Y’all deserve to exist peacefully and not be fucking bothered by dickheads about how you live your life.

I’m not having fun or making money.

Who do I send a bug report to?

Sharks would never eat such junkfood!

Finish him.

It took almost 2 fucking years after my first initial appointment to get properly medicated.

I’d literally kill myself if I was forced to do it all again.

You “just go see a doctor”–folk have no idea how fucking difficult it is to 1). actually be seen by a competent doctor, 2). be taken seriously, 3). and actually receive treatment for mental health stuff.

That’s not even including the whole “getting out of a shit enough headspace to actually do all that stuff in the first place.”

Unmedicated me felt like wading through hell.

Be kind to those with different chemistry. Shit sucks.

Because fashion is fun! (:

Things don’t always need to be practical.

I have a special needs bearded dragon. Special needs because he was born without scales. Also, unfortunately, he is now mostly blind.

He has given me more grey hairs in his 5 years on earth than my previous 30. His care requires multiple skincare products, aloe, etc. His diet requires me to keep bins of cockroaches which also require their own food and water. He also requires heat & UVB bulbs with separate fixtures, and has a specialty “herpstat” that can automatically time the lights, control temperatures, report on humidity, etc.

He is a pain to care for!

I love him so much. I do it all happily and he’s a wonderful, friendly, sweet, amazing companion.

Woo woo! Auditory Processing Disorder!

The comments volunteering to assist with translation gives me the fuzzies. (:

“Submit and get over it!” 🤡

I can’t leave.

I have a child with an abusive, vindictive ex-spouse. Regardless of me having sole custody, I would still need to get both the court’s permission and his permission just to move out of state, so god knows I will not be able to get out of the country.

I’m at a loss. I will not leave without my kid.

what happens here, effects everyone everywhere.

This is what people are going to find out very very soon.

The current situation has ties to their own country’s security and safety, when it all comes down to the guy who has ties to leaders who are “not-so-nice” and will be kicking some VERY large hornet nests.

Yes, Europe. Laugh at the dumb Americans, but y’all are going to reap the consequences of this outcome, too, unfortunately.

“Pokémon the Trading Card Game” has such a genuinely good fucking soundtrack!

👍

It’s not a particularly fun story to tell or to hear.

I’ll keep the mood light and just say I’m just happy that I am able to vote now.

I have had extremely good reasons why I was unable to vote since I’ve turned 18.

However, I finally registered to vote a few months ago, specifically to vote in this election.

I’m extremely nervous and don’t really know what to expect once I’m in my polling place, but I’ll be damned if I don’t do my part to prevent my country from becoming a fascist dictatorship with a man willing to throw its citizens into the grinder if it meant he gets a dollar out of it. Fuck that.

I swear I’ve seen concept art once upon a time… was it Disney? But I remember it looking so cute!
