The waves are an integral part of the tart experience!

We were going to go and then we decided against it. I hate to miss it, but I feel like there is going to be a large group of horrible people there that will claim a rigged election, etc., and be generally menacing, if not downright violent. I really hope not, but it is what I’m expecting. So, are foregoing.

ALLLL of the dads.

I am *not* making excuses for myself or for anyone else that has a wrapper laden car; however, I can answer why I don’t throw the stuff away while I’m getting gas: I am accosted, almost every single time, by someone wanting to wash my windows, asking for money, generally lurking, people honking at me to hurry up or…

Yeah, okay. You guys don’t have a sense of humor. Duly noted.

Maybe he is! I wouldn’t know, I’ve never met him. But the Chris’ that I know are not lovely. But maybe Hemsworth is the exception! (I hope he is the exception)

Because hey, why the fuck not, at this point. 🙄

Only tangentially related, but I’ve never met anyone named Chris that wasn’t a giant fucking asshole. What’s up with that?

No rose tinted glasses, but when I go to auditions and I’m judged not on talent, but on Instagram and Twitter followers—when I have a degree and a pretty nice resumé—yeah, it is upsetting. It should be upsetting to the audience—these people have nothing going on besides the need to accumulate followers. The entire…

That is how all entertainment is becoming. Actors, models, singers, etc. It has now essentially been boiled down to a popularity contest. But the popularity is won by doing kinda basic shit, like posting tons of selfies or images of oneself in small bits of clothing, seductively gazing at the camera OR bragging about…

Maybe we should start!

Sorry. Maybe the comments will help you too. Sending internet hugs.

Thank you.

I just added that to my reading list, it sounds like it might be very helpful. I don’t think that I do have a spiritual practice, at least one that gets me out of my head. I’ve decided to try to actually meditate daily, which is something that I was doing, but quit because reasons. I was also attending Marianne…

I definitely think that counseling is something that I need to make happen for us, it is just a matter of finding the right person.

Yeah, I definitely need to make new friends and try new things. I have gotten myself into a bit of a rut. I’ve had a meetup account for years, but never really participated beyond just checking out events, but that is something that I need to force myself to do. Or volunteer. Solid advice!! Thank you.

Thank you. I checked out the subreddit. It is really helpful. (((hugs back)))

So, I’m just going to launch right into my issue and hope that someone here can shed some light. I had severely neglectful parents. They behaved in some ways that were, while not outright abusive, almost sociopathic. I also had a demon of a step-mother that basically stopped speaking to me when I was about 8 years…

Thank you. Honestly, after the amount of time that I’ve spent pursuing it, I’m starting to wonder if it is even worth it. The gatekeepers are...interesting, for lack of a more succinct word. It is really hard to deal with the amount of rejection and all of the small aggressions from everyone throughout the days.…

Damn. I had no idea that was a benefit of an IUD. Wow!
