Consider yourself lucky. Last night was a real shit show. I used Twitter as a release valve as she went from one outburst to another with very little breaks in between. It was exhausting for both of us.

I have followed your posts for a very long time, and I think I speak for all Jezzies when I say you are an incredibly capable person. Teenagers are fucking HARD, but you have so much empathy. Keep doing what you’re doing, Mama. Much respect.

My first attempt at cross-stitching in 15 years!

Anyone who follows me on Twitter should know that this has been a very rough week culminating in last night’s utter shit show. She has been cycling through moods- sometimes minute to minute. On Tuesday, which was the anniversary of her dad’s death, she asked me to take her to the graveyard and leave her for an hour…

I wish you well.

On a less happy note -- anyone in the Santa Ana/Costa Mesa area have a vet they could recommend? I was really not happy with the one I saw today.

It was Buster’s name day this week! I adopted him three years ago. We celebrated with “cake” (basically a ground chicken meatloaf with potato frosting) and puppy ice cream, and he picked out a new toy at PetCo (as did Sophie, so she wouldn’t feel left out). Here he is looking incredibly handsome in his name day bow…

I was already planning on leaving for other reasons that I am not going into again, but... two weeks ago, a burner account posted my daughter’s photo along with instructions for how to kill myself. Tonight, another burner sent a message to me talking about my wife’s real name.

I read some of it.

You know, I don’t have particular feelings about you one way or the other--sometimes you say stuff I agree with, sometimes you say stuff I really don’t, mostly you’re just another commenter. But it might serve you to consider why multiple women don’t want you in this women’s space and to attend to their…

I’m just curious if tonight’s thread will be accompanied by more pictures of his Swiss Army knife.

Flying squid is a person who has some intelligent and enlightening ideas and comments. However, the second someone challenges him on an idea or disagrees, he personally attacks like a rabid dog. Then, if he realizes he’s losing the argument, he jumps into an obscene self loathing, woe is me, feel bad for me spiral,…

He uses his illness to bludgeon anyone who might have an opinion different than his own. When that doesn’t work he makes suicide threats.

Is that a thing? Can we vote to eliminate people? Do they have to leave the island forever or can they return for the all-stars season?

I have been around for a long time on here, and I know and see these commenters you are accusing. You often use accusations and escalate things. There is no dedicated mean girls clique.

If you have serious issues with suicide, be good to yourself and try to find help. Try the National Suicide Prevention Line, and keep fighting for changes in yourself when you have the strength.

I’m not so sure being afraid of terrorism is giving into terrorists as much as allowing that fear lead one to support rash and injudicious responses to terrorism. It’s not unreasonable to be afraid of terrorism when you live in a city that’s been targeted before and an attack hits close to home. Sure, there are other…
