Even if he gave me all his money, I could not bring myself to touch that ugly bug.

If you think you picked a bad partner because there's something wrong with you because of how you were parented, actually a bad partner sought you out because they saw those vulnerabilities in you.

I'm Canadian.

Thank you for saying this. I genuinely would never not take someone's cultural practices and religion seriously. I just really like what it symbolizes to me.

Thank you. I just felt a little silly.

My tattoo is very well designed, but it is a lotus flower with the Om symbol in it because at the time I was practicing a lot of yoga, and I didn't realize it looks kind of...... culturally foolish, shall we say, especially now that I live in a city with a lot of South Asian folks, and some have asked me about it, I am white as the driven snow. I did not intend it in any cultural appropriation way and it isn't offensive or anything, they all seem to like it, but it was a bit thoughtless ultimately.

I think I'll order it too. You can never have enough poetry.

Oh amazing! Please tell me how the book is too.

I was talking to a new friend who is a nurse yesterday, and she told me she worked in peds a bit last year during a measles outbreak in my city, during which one child died. She said she has never seen sicker children in her life, they were all unvaccinated, and that they all went home having lost so much ground. She says half the parents were just victims of disinformation but that many of them were super obnoxious.

Same! I adore every album. The new song is amazing!

Who here knows what O.o means?

Missouri of all places!

I hadn't listened to him be interviewed before until yesterday, and I was pleased to hear that he's quick on his feet and confident and sounds very knowledgeable. My ex said about him that nobody wants a policy wonk for PM, but so far it works.

Excellent point. I agree, it can't be considered safe. Think of what viruses are going to rip through livestock populations there now.

One thing I hope this government does is go after weaponized disinformation. Force these shitty social media CEOs to moderate their content. Fuck Zuckface and Space Karen so hard.

When I lived in a townhouse condo property the conservatives used to just come and stick a bunch of their signs on the edge of the property without anyone asking for them to put them there. My spouse used to go yank them out and put them in the garbage.

Best wishes to you wherever you are headed. I imagine soon the sane countries will offer queer people asylum.

Why did you do it? Let's start there. Please unpack.

We had this older woman in our office who used to decide to subtly target everything anyone did wrong who was younger than her, she'd pick a person and just begin to pick away at them in an innocent way. Nobody could identify what she did all day long, and she was obviously very insecure because she was the oldest person in the department. She would decide to pick at you for months, until you finally fought back somehow, and then she'd pick a new target, ever so subtly. I was not good at handling myself in those situations back then so I just was miserable for months until I finally burst into tears at her for whatever she did that day, and that was a crude but effective method. She turned her guns on someone else who tried to handle it for a while, but then eventually went to HR and she got nailed to the wall and decided to retire.

Also had a manager I'm pretty sure was borderline sociopathic. I've never meant someone so dishonest, manipulative, and greedy in my life. She got told to quit or be fired after some major upper management changes, so she quit, got a new job, and apparently got walked out of it a bit later on, and now she actually works at my current job site with basically the McDonald's shift supervisor of jobs in this organization. I had to deal with her once over the phone a couple of years ago and she still sounds like a dog with its tongue hanging greedily out of its mouth.

A doctor I worked with said I'm a force of nature.
