would be cool if it worked us out of this timeline and into a better one, or maybe just worked us out of this speedy downward spiral. 

ugh, foiled. welp, time for a new scheme y’all. 

How does it benefit me to hear about you cutting sugar every time someone brings cookies to work?

the idol industry is terrible, and this site itself has posted some pretty alarming articles about it. it’s not something to cheer for or lament the absence of. 

i remember watching the episode of Terrace House where Riko made her debut as a teen gravure + swimsuit model, and instead of some major turn of inspiration, strength, and confidence, she broke down crying in between takes of adult male photographers telling her to bend forward more in front of the camera.

she (or even he; would not surprise me at this point) got a priest or priest(s) involved to talk her out of it.

bah, aren’t*.

no, it’s a gross demand to make, especially publicly. it would not be okay if the roles were reversed, and it’s not okay this way either. i agree that the ideal would be for him to do his part in preventing further pregnancies, but really, both of them should be and he shouldn’t be forced into surgery or contraception…

the second paragraph is the crux of what i was saying. i don’t agree that having tubes tied or removed is univerally/inherently a horrific experience, especially considering i’ve personally undergone the procedure; i used to think it was this awful thing, far beyond what it actually was (and i think there’s an issue…

yeah, boo to that response. i doubt there would be much of a barrier to get her tubes tied/removed, and if she wouldn’t do it, well... maybe she shouldn't go demanding that from other people, either.

except (for now) both aborting and not aborting are legal. killing or harming someone are. so while ideally, everyone would be careful, this attempt to equate the two is ridiculous. 

thank you! and, it's okay; i'm in a totally different time zone right now anyway so i wouldn't have expected an immediate reply.

if you’re willing to share it, i would appreciate that... i'm not close with my family or colleagues and i don't really even have any close/non-mutual friends so i'm sort of on my own in this.

thank you; hopefully i can manage to keep that balance.

thank you; i needed that.

trying to be optimistic in the New Year, but on top of all the crazy news/pending war... near the end of last year, had to have a talk with my long-term partner about our problems, different future goals, and the likelihood of splitting up. i thought we had come to an understanding, but i don’t think they heard or…

i would agree about the sippy cup lids if they didn't shock the hell out of me every time 😭

they only care about this kind of thing when it gives them something to bitch about, like Ghost in the Shell or Iron Fist. bonus points if there’s a “whiter” person to rail against, and extra extra if they’re male. otherwise, they don’t really care. there’s nothing genuine about it, just another excuse to be mad about…

there are plenty of things to call the Kardashians out for (especially in this vein) but this hardly seems like theft of anything; she didn’t claim to invent it and at least as of yet, she doesn’t seem to be profiting off of it either. it’s extremely plausible that she has no idea what Furoshiki is; i’m sure plenty on…

beautiful little parts
