I'd cry if it wasn't so funny. I'd laugh if it wasn't so sad.
Me to my partner, on laundry: "The regulars are on the right and the delicates are on the left... JUST LIKE IN REAL LIFE."
For clarity, we are both leftists.
This week, I received an email from a relative with the subject "Helpful article." No link or attachment.
She sent the link a few hours later, with apologies - but honestly I have never related so hard to something in my life.
Yesterday, a liberal splained to me who John Brown was.
It was embarrassing for everyone.
Bonus kid is home this week, so I am excusing myself from the dinner table whenever I feel I've had enough complex math.
Heh. "Problems" I never thought I'd have.
Watching a 3 hour LinkedIn Learning video while slightly feverish is a very middle aged kind of purgatory.
Late stage capitalism sure is something.
Sure, sex is great, but have you ever put lotion on a new tattoo?
... I may have moaned, lol!
NEW: Don't let Donald Trump and Elon Musk talk us out of democracy.
Trump and Musk are testing the limits, trying to sell America on being an authoritarian state — but they can’t do it unless we allow them to do so.

Chasing? With my joints? Lol!
But as an unty fae healer, I will stand beside you with my first aid kit, ready to wrap bloody knuckles or... whatever else needs patched up. Keep your wrist bent, dammit! I only brought so many splints! 😉

See anything familiar?

A house near ours has many American flags. I saw one of the residents for the first time this week.
I wasn't surprised she was an older yte person, or that she drives an SUV. But I was surprised she was wiping the SUV down with... a Kleenex?
I have no explanation for this phenomena.

Just finished making a new set of cozy kits. I give them out to unhoused people in my area.
Contents may include: snacks, condoms, clean socks, earplugs, lip balm, Vaseline, handwarmers, flashlights, bandanas, and winter gloves and hats.
I'll consider anything that's under $1 per piece.
I got a parasite from my cats!
(An actual theory from an actual ex)
Phew, wish I'd known a little sooner!
Agreed.
I'm fine with people having different opinions, even thinking mine is wrong. But if you think who I am as a person is wrong... there's nothing to discuss.
I have no guilty pleasures. I refuse to feel guilty about anything that brings me joy in this hard world.
