a man in a suit and tie sitting in a chair with the words oh boy i been waiting for this above him Alt: Two men in suits and ties in an office setting, with the words oh boy i been waiting for this above them

Three women very close to me are having HUGE PERSONAL LIFE UPHEAVALS at the same time. So I'm over here, with my 10 years of therapy, stretching out like:

Also a hearing eval. What you're describing can't be explained by hearing loss, but the outcomes between the two conditions are often conflated. If she didn't hear it, she can't remember it. Just a good idea to make sure that's not an underlying issue that will sabotage treatment if not addressed.

I read Forever War while simultaneously dealing with my ex-husband's PTSD. It made for a... unique literary experience. I cried the whole time.

Are you fkn for real? So much for "leaving the rage posting" to that other site, eh? People don't deserve peace based on their zipcode, you wet sack of leather. Sorry your stupidity killed your empathy, or whatever the fuck is wrong with you.

I know we're worried about the future of human thinking with AI, but honestly lead paint in baby boomer cribs has us COOKED. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Sometimes I'm talking to a truly old person (late 70s to 80s) and I just internally marvel.
Like, how in the world did you keep yourself alive this long, you absurd parody of human intelligence?

Ever had to race your sputtering, low battery vibrator to the finish line

And lose?!?!

Anyway. This day's gonna suck.

Awesome insult I just wasted on someone too dumb to get it:
"You seem like the kind of person who thinks survivorship bias is proof of safety."

"Spanking isn't the same as beating."
Sure, Carol. And a toddler can really tell the difference?
Our parents really had us microdosing abuse from age 5, then wonder why we're all stoned out of our minds and won't talk to them in adulthood.

If you've been putting off necessary durable medical equipment purchases, do it now. Cpap machines and supplies, hearing aids, nebulizers, etc. All that stuff is made overseas and will be in exceptionally high demand as supply drops off.

Today I woke up and realized that the best I can hope for is that I'll be part of the generation/time/group that paved the way. I can plant the trees but I'll never sit in their shade.
Happy year 50.

I didn't realize the fall of U.S. democracy would be in slow motion. That's weird.

A woman who is full, fed, rested, and strong is harder to manipulate.
So EAT.

And if you happen to eat the rich, 💀ing 2 birds with 1 stone, so much the better.

It's a lot easier to "let it go" when perimenopause strips your energy levels down to nothing.

I don't have the spoons to craft the story for short form sm. Just know that in a childhood filled with suck, one bright spot was the unhealthy obsession my brother and I shared for the movie, Willow.
Anyway, Val Kilmer was a superhero, a rockstar, and a gunslinger. But he'll always be Mad to me. 😭

I really underestimated the emotional reserves it would take to watch the rest of the country stand around with thumbs in asses while we lose every safeguard against authoritarianism we've ever taken for granted.
All I can do is sit here and feel sick to my stomach.

Social Security official ended program for Maine newborns because he was ‘ticked’ at Mills U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree said the rationale given by Lee Dudek, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, is 'infuriating and absurd.'

This isn't how gov't is supposed to work: The acting commissioner of Social Security admitted “I was ticked at the governor of Maine for not being real cordial to the president,” so I ended a program in Maine. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/25/s...

It’s worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignation—and a criminal investigation. It would be a matter of personal *honor* to resign. The fact Mike Waltz & Pete Hegseth are choosing to fight it out is a terrible omen.

Wives in their 50s/60s are resentful, short-tempered, and bitter when they have to take care of a spouse in his 70s/80s. And I get why, but it's still sad to see. You could've had a better life, but you married a manchild and now you have to change his literal diapers.

I work in audiology and the bulk of my clientele are old af.
Ladies (and this is mostly to the under-35 crowd): if you marry a man 20 years your senior, you WILL BE his nurse in his 70s. Please understand that you will be shouldering 100% of fkn everything.

I think I've reached the "burn it all down stage". Dems can eat shit and die, too.

There are those with empathy and those without. That's it. And if you're without, you don't deserve to live with those of us who do.

It's the cowardice, for me. Don't ask citizens to do what our "leaders" are unwilling to. Schumer sold American people for the price of maintaining power. We have real people of courage in this country. Unfortunately, only about 5 of them currently hold office.

This country was doomed the minute the 3/5ths "compromise" was struck. As soon as men of "good faith" agreed that fractions were a good way to measure humanity, we were cooked.

Genuinely, the only thing the founders are good for at this point is making windchimes with their bones.

If you've been thinking that it wouldn't be too hard to leave the country and maybe you should consid...

DO IT. Do it now.

Get out if you can, especially if you're not straight and white. Please get yourself to safety. We've crossed the line of no return.

I'm new to gardening, so I consume a lot of related sm content. Steering clear of trad wives is fairly easy, but an unexpected pitfall is the wyt-woman-with-dreadlocks phenomenon. 😒
Babe. No.

Instead of putting period cramp simulators on weak ass men and then laughing as they fall out, put that shit on a woman and film her facial expressions so men know what pain actually looks like on a woman. I *promise* it will be a revelation to them.

I think the secret to aging successfully is embracing side character energy. But get proper disorderly with it.
Like, "No, this story isn't about me but imma make yours REAL FKN INTERESTING." 😈
Get chaotic, crone. ✌️

Imma need American movies to stop using "Thousands of innocent people will die!" as a plot device. Because while that's a realistic scenario, Americans caring is not.

Do you think if the Buddha came back today, he'd have a license plate that said, "OG ZEN"?
