Threads, most of us left the bird app to go there. But then that’s become unsafe too lately.

The difference between this app and 🧵is so interesting. I’ve cross posted a couple of times and while a post my get me an influx of followers, I rarely receive any interaction. On 🧵the same post can get me thousands of interactions but few followers. Weird.

Got the carbon tax rebate yesterday and am still baffled by those who hate this program. Every 3 months I’m given $188 which is more than I pay in the actual tax. Why you mad Bro?

I bought and drop off the paintings I don’t want movers to handle. Saturday return to Saskatoon, Sunday movers pick up my stuff and I clean my house to sell, and finally the move to Edmonton will be complete on Monday. I am so tired.

Holy hell what a week! Property sold, property bought, divorce finally came through, got hired for a job in Edmonton, have another interview tomorrow (because who can live on only one job these days?) and tomorrow is my last day at my current job. Friday I drive to Edmonton to finally see the house

One woman told me that she felt like she was speaking to family when she talked to me and that I always made her feel better. Somehow I managed to avoid bawling but it was close!

I donate plasma regularly (not entirely altruistic, they pay well and I need the money). The staff treat me like I’m walking into Cheers, always going out of their way to say hello. Last night was my last donation before moving to another city so my reception was extra special. 1/2

Me too! Don’t wanna lose touch. 😊

So tonight she sends me a message saying I’m sorry if you were offended but that wasn’t my intent. And we’re both under stress so I shouldn’t add to hers by not accepting her apology. Oh and she doesn’t think of me as a he, she, or they so I should give her a pass. Yeah. I passed alright.

I have a coworker with whom I enjoyed friendly banter who posted something awful on FB. One of those ultra xtian memes about candy canes are shaped like a J for Jesus and it was 3 wise MEN not THEMS! Blah blah. I commented ‘wow, I can’t believe you posted that’ and simply unfriended her.

This is distinctly unfriendly behaviour so I blocked her. This feels super toxic but now I wonder, what would you have done?

I recently had a woman tell me she wanted to date me but not until she lost 22lbs. I thought she was kidding but she wasn’t. When I told her I wasn’t comfortable cheering someone on to lose weight we agreed to just be friends. I ran into her a few weeks later and she quickly walked away from me.

I saw it too, then decided to take gummies to turn my brain off.

Looking forward to reading what you have to say! Thanks for the add.

YES! And the way so many in Canada are watching the insanity and saying yep, that looks awesome!

White people really cannot stand when something excludes us. It’s so pathetic. Not everything has to be for you, y’all!

I’m not one to complain about getting old; the alternative is much worse. This is especially true as I face losing both siblings to cancer. But for real, when going for a long walk hurts your elbow, there’s gonna be a little complaining. Eff me.

Nice! Thanks!

I’m coming over from the other places and it just feels hopeless to keep rebuilding my community. I really started to feel like I had something going at the 🧵space. Not sure I have it in me to do it over again. How are the rest of you finding your people?
