I don't mean to make it more serious, but you can tell the people who don't have a life full of CPTSD pretty quickly. They don't even perceive of the possibility of setups as existing.

See YOU are the one who actually knows how to make people jealous. I don't want anybody's mortgage, goddammit. Take note, everybody.

They are expensive. I had to replace mine a couple weeks back. After it was taken care of, I passed a used tire place I wish I had consulted first.

Aside, I also loved the tribal folks try series. I told my fake-kneed brother back when we were still speaking my fave is the mustache gem collector.

It's going to be one of those "your professionalism isn't as we expected" days. You are correct - I am not a blonde with big boobs and chiseled features who wants to have an affair and brought two piping hot pizzas along with in each hand. I am but an average koala with a dumb nose and a cabbage.

I bet it was really upsetting for kids who loved playing cops and robbers when theirs friend started aging out. Forced parallel play feels like a weird solution to the male loneliness epidemic. They're just trying to make friends 😔

No. It was a mix of how it was formatted on my screen and the way I read texts. It was funny. Imagine taking a script for a play written in Spanish and covering up all the header information, so all you are reading is a single word. It's like hearing the word "read" and interpreting it as "red".

Unfortunately I liked drunkle. At least he was funny.

I read "right" as politically conservative than as chivalrous and I do not regret either interpretation.

Shape shifters are irritating, especially if their whole bit is triggering you all the fucking time. Like, everybody was happy when drunkle finally passed away and couldn't make it to the family functions anymore. But no, he could not rest in peace. He's back on his invisible bs.
Shitshifters.

Would pay to go to this fake wedding.
Eddie Valiant: Seriously, what do you see in that guy?
Jessica Rabbit: He makes me laugh.

See I love Pedro Pascal but I don't think he could be detached enough from empathy to pull off Gomez. He's too warm (but he would sell tickets). I bet The Fall era Lee Pace + Rosario Dawson would make a good Gomez + Morticia pairing if they had good chemistry. I guess I should go to lb.

I've been on the apps 3 or so times in the last decade, for no longer than a few weeks cumulative. Many divorcees realize quickly the apps are pointless. Forced dating is not the same as meeting someone in your life you end up deeply liking for who they are and with whom you want to spend time.

Reminder that this land is indigenous folks' land, and that they were colonized. I'm not making that up or anything.

Had to take my kid to the doctor for a 3rd bagel tummy ache once. I think he was trying to get an out of school day the "honest" way.

Who in the hell put absolute asswipe material in the Little Free Library today? I hope you lose an important client at your job and are resented by your team for this pathetic assortment of "literature".

I mean absurd mass weddings with potlucks. Costume Halloween ball type shit.

Claire Flowers @baberadbury.bsky.social · 1d

The costumed protesters who got married in Portland have inspired me. What if a future move is we all get fake same sex married, as in if you're already married pick which gender you are going to be. Or not. Just get fake married. Pick somebody to serve as fake officiant. Everybody's poor and sad.
