“Maybe they need to have it be a recurring theme.” That’s a fantastic idea!

Maybe she’s “processing” her relationship with celebrity and fandom, the end of adolescence and the inevitable pressure on bi/pan folks to “choose a side.” Anyone who can find a way to get paid for that, deserves it. :)

I am so sorry you went through that. Makes my whole LCMS seem tame by comparison.

What?! What religious denomination requires a couple to publicly declare their virginity?  How invasive.

I don’t know, I think not developing or understanding sexuality leads to a lot of frustration and depression.

I don’t have kitten pictures but here’s my Buddy, dragging every stuffed animal he owns into the living room. The funniest thing is if they go off that rug, he won’t play with them, they have to be on the rug. So many rules.....

Can we put Putin and Kanye on one of Bezos’ rockets and shoot them both into outer space? Maybe Trump too?  Just enough already with these dipshit egomaniacs. 

“In fact, we went to Hooter’s to eat right before we went to Crazy Girl Saloon, and the entire staff was loving on [Jolene].”

Because those “adults” have never had to deal with real problems in their lives, so they make up problems to distract others

I passed the point of people telling my ED was somehow making me look great about 3 offramps ago and now they just look like they think about about 2 seconds from tipping over dead. My ED even has thrown up it’s hands and started worrying if it maybe went a wee bit too far. I’m not skeletal, but 140 on 6'2 isn’t…

I was just going to say, I saw a Facebook meme which basically said (I’m paraphrasing): Once there was a man who abused his wife, broke up with her, stalked her, and eventually killed her. Decades later, his lawyer’s daughter married Kanye West.

when I’ve been underweight (medical issues) coconut milk soup and using lots of butter/fat/oil has helped a lot. generally I’d read calorie counts on foods to make sure I was getting enough calories in what I was able to eat. I was actually tracking my food intake on a fitbit to make sure I was getting enough…

Yes to everything, including any and all fantasy references :-)

It’s really not that hard. Unless told otherwise, just assume it’s a sensitive topic and don’t bring it up unsolicited, unless you want to be an asshole.

People need to mind their own business. Over the past two years, I’ve lost some weight after no particular “diet,” just trying to reduce my intake and be a little more active. The pandemic depression certainly helped (I tend to be a do-nothing, eat-nothing kind of depressed).

Well, here’s the good news and the bad news at once: Spotify is one of the lowest paying platforms per stream. If you really care about those small creators, do your little silent streaming trick on one of the other platforms that pays them substantially more. 

What a lovely piece of writing, thank you for sharing. I have tears in my eyes. I’m glad you’re still here. Sending you a hug <3

It can be hard to learn because it’s a little dry. I actually worked in the industry. Not directly but as a tax lawyer. Since I interacted with traders who would constantly throw ideas around, you just start to absorb knowledge.

What a smart and beautiful young woman, how terribly sad.
