My partner and I discovered we both played Zoombinis as kids, and we say "MAKE ME A PIZZA" in that voice every time we order pizza :)

SAME! 😂
But it was also SO fun and I enjoyed saving the Zoombinis (and got very sad when I didn't manage to save them)

I have been going to therapy for years and years and I STILL find that aspect of it really weird! I am always asking my therapist how he is and talking about his life he's always redirecting me 😅 I'm glad you're going to therapy though, I hope you find it helps? <3

My family has a pattern of, "never say anything bad about anyone and never be angry" and I've come to realize how unhealthy that is. It's kind of like trying to write a sentence without using the letter "e". Hard to describe reality accurately if you're not allowed to say certain things

I think that in this case it's good! Anger is there to protect us it's totally valid, esp. when it comes to how your family's treating you. You can always decide how generous/forgiving you want to be afterwards but you're always allowed to be angry first, I think

I had to move back in with my parents recently (tldr; disabled, no money, you know what it's like!) & while my family issues are very different than yours, I'm thinking about how it's hard for disabled people to have as much independence from their families as they want/need :(

It makes me so angry! You're a person who does a lot for other people and shows up in whatever ways you can, even though you have such limited energy. And your family doesn't do the same for you, and it's completely unfair. 💜

(I say this having recently watched a George Carlin special: genius. But "random person who wants to do YouTube videos" definitely doesn't have George Carlin's skill 😅)

I do not know WHO is built for that kind of one-note attention, definitely not me. I need to be doing something else (e.g. like in a uni lecture, taking notes) or the performance needs to have more elements/texture

Totally agree. I simply do not think anyone has perfected or could perfect the format of "one guy monologuing while staring straight at you for an hour". (Like I guess standup is that ... but people spend a lifetime perfecting that art)

(I guess now is also the perfect time to tack on my rant about how I find dream sequences in literature to be infuriating, because they are often lazy metaphors that bang you over the head with their meaning, and/or indulgently, floridly written)

I fear that I would not be able to discipline your child, at all, ever, if I were her mom. she is simply too charming and her logical arguments are peerless. I would give in to all her demands 😂

oof yeah, I see this sometimes online and it's wild!! I live in Alberta, which is the most conservative province in Canada, and it's just like ... yeah no, folks, it's still extremely heterosexual out there in the real world 😶

This is so striking! It's been a while since I felt so immediately INSIDE a piece of art, felt like my body was actually drawn into its space. I don't know proper terms about perspective etc. but whatever you're doing with it here is brilliant

Oh, this includes Ruthanna Emrys! I've loved and bookmarked some of her short fiction before, I'll have to give this a try

Our dog did this just yesterday. Half-eaten, half-shredded. It was a tissue that had blood on it from a nosebleed -- he loves those. Dogs 😅

I love hand-pulled noodles so much. But yeah ... we did it once. And then never again. It's so much work 😅
