Dogma helped me see how absurd religion, specifically Catholicism, was and helped be begin to untangle what it all meant for me, a hyper-religious teenager at the time.

What if I just shut the door and put something heavy in front of it, then have a lie down.

We adopted two kittens many years ago, littermates, a male orange and a female black calico. The boy was full of personality and was playful, would accept affection, etc. the girl warmed up a little to my husband but otherwise won the “don’t give a fuck” war. She had the worst whiney meow in the morning calling for brekkie, and made me insane. We ended up moving states away and couldn’t secure housing that allowed pets so we rehomed both. I miss the boy, still to this day. But her, I do not miss. I hope they had great lives with their new people, they seemed happy to have them.

Because no one has wooden shoes? Let alone millions?

Imagine having so much disposable income you have dishes that you use twice a year, otherwise just on display in its own cubby, taking up space and for what. Yes this is 100% a fuckin boomer thing, and we will see more and more of the sets and the cabinets in second hand shops worldwide as they continue to finally die off.

Probably a good thing your kid was calm and patient and not thrashing about or anything.

That sounds so difficult, I’m so sorry. Watching someone in mental health crisis and not being able to really do anything is such a terrible feeling. I hope you all find answers, help, and peace.

Yesterday I came home to a completely chewed up AirPod Pro that my dog had gotten hold of. All the parts looked to be there except the silicone tip, but I panicked and took him to the vet with the pieces anyway. Turns out the battery was fully intact in the debris I found. So it ended up not being an emergency but it was really scary nonetheless. My fault for not noticing I only had one with me.

Eras Tour Vienna night 2. 💔💔💔

Goats (milk, cheese, lawn care), alpacas (wool), and maybe a few bee hives for honey to make mead. But I don’t know how to properly care for any of these creatures so it’s best I leave it to those who do.

MacCutcheon 60. One glass was more than I could make in a month.

May all of your dreams become reality. I really want that for you.

Ben Gibbard once said “Love is watching someone die.” And I agree. So, I hope not.

I’d rather not reinforce it by typing it out.

The reality of life-saving measures in health care, and why a having a DNR (that isn’t a surprise to your loved ones) is so important.

Wow that is a really great way of putting it

Asshole was trying to teach you “how the real world works” by touting self care as paramount and then assigning seemingly higher value tasks to test your penchant for a good “work-life balance”. I’d feel betrayed too!

Same! And I grew up in the Midwest/south. I first heard of it from the show The Watchmen and really thought it was part of the fictional narrative until I got curious and looked it up. Terrible, and also terrible that it stayed so hidden.

Wow I didn’t know that. Dark.
