Oh Meh. We’re in the same generation. ‘Gen Y’ was just another term for the generation after Gen X (so named because they are considered the tenth generation born after the founding of America or X in latin script).

That sounds more dangerous than old fashioned trick or treating. Not only is there constant danger of being run over by cars of families who wish to jet early/arrive late, you’re also standing in exhaust fumes for a few hours.

SUCH bullshit. Trick or treat is TRICK OR TREAT ON HALLOWEEN AND YOU GO TO HOUSES.

I thought “trunk or treat” was just a church thing. Well, it is in my small hometown. And I agree, Halloween was fun for us because we would be out and about in our neighborhood with all the other kids, gathering candy and ringing doorbells. We used to jostle each other to try to ring the bell first! We always had to…

Had a pretty rough week. As of yesterday I’ve officially been alcohol-free for one month but it’s really frustrating how being sober makes a lot of your other issues come to the forefront. I was able to see my therapist yesterday and while it certainly was helpful it made me realize how much I need to work on myself.…

It is a parking lot full of cars with the trunk doors open, sometimes decorated, and the car owners sitting in lawn chairs next to their cars handing out candy to lines of crying children and equally unhappy parents. 

I’m an elderly millenial, but please, let me have a boomer moment here:

So I took the bar exam in Ohio in July and did not pass. I wasn’t at all surprised, because I didn’t study at all – two months before the exam, right as my study schedule was kicking off, my partner of two years broke up with me unexpectedly and I had to move out of our house, back in with my parents, and then deal…

I just mad myself a temporary bed out of moving boxes! It’s not exactly comfortable, but at least it gets me up off of the floor until I can get a proper matress and frame. I feel strangely proud of myself.

Me too lovely. The DWP are bastards, I was in floods of tears explaining that due to my mental health I’d forgotten and that I’ve got no money for food and they just don’t care. 

My week has been shitastic. My cousin is in jail following an assault on our shared aunt and his mother (apparently he is no longer sober) but there is a silver lining: while she was hospitalized her nursing staff discovered she has ovarian cancer. So, now my aunt has had a hysterectomy and we’re waiting for results…

Inter-relationship abuse/trauma is a life altering experience for all parties; allow yourself to feel what you’re going thru and do the homework your therapist gave you.

Tonight concludes the Rocky Horror Shadow Cast for a year. Although I’m ready to have my weekends free for a bit (especially because of the late nights) and my skin will appreciate the break in wearing makeup, I’m kinda bittersweet about it and will plan on doing it again next year.

(burner) The love of my life, my spouse, the father of my kids, the kindest, gentlest, most feminist genderqueer (AMAB) person I have ever met recently had a long manic episode that culminated in an extreme psychotic break that culminated in them trying to strangle me to death (they would have succeeded if someone…

I’m not sure where to start, I feel so down and everything is getting too much. I honestly want to go to sleep and not wake up. I miss my Ollie so much and i wish he was here with me. I am so fed up with life being a constant struggle and worrying all the time about everything. I feel like I can’t talk about how life…

I’ve offered to babysit (I used to do it professionally in the past) which again had my partner horrified - I think he’s worrying that I will change my mind and want a munchkin of my own :P But aside from thinking she’s adorable and genuinely being happy to care for the bebe, my friends are young parents with no…

Amazing! Gonna check this out and see if I can get them in Canada. A friend just had her third baby so that might be a good gift for her! Thanks for the tip <3

I have never heard of these nipple hats but they sound marvelous! Not to mention fashionable.

Fancy newborn clothes are such a waste, babies wear them for about 30 seconds and grow out of them. Onsies for the win! If you get something for a gift there’s nothing wrong with asking for/using a gift receipt to exchange it for a larger size so you can get more wear out of it.

Who wants to chat about menopause? Anyone? My aunts are promising me a cronehood party next fall. So far there will be brats and moonshine, and dirty jokes about dead men. and a fire.
