Not quite out the other side yet, but getting closer: divorce is filed but not finalized yet. And while I certainly hope you are able to have kids someday if you still want them, having kids involved as I’m trying to navigate this process has made it that much more difficult.

That's like a "time to fake my death and move to South America" text.

I love how Maru contorts himself into tiny spaces while thrashing his tail as if he resents doing it.

I have a friend who came up from a different state to visit. She’s stayed the night, and I was really excited because I thought I’d get to show her around where I live, see the some sights, hang out, it would be fun. She’s been one of my best friends for years, and as far as I’m aware nothing’s changed with that.

Well I’ve never posted on SNS before but: I have just finished my first month post-divorce. I can’t really call it that because we had a wedding but no legal marriage, and really I wish there was a non-goopy term close to ‘conscious uncoupling’ because I’m proud to say its closer to the truth.

Hello, everyone. The world is shit. Weirdly, even though I got dumped last week*, that’s not the thing that’s upsetting me nearly as much as the news. I don’t know about y’all, but tonight I’m eating my feelings: oxtail stew, cheesy polenta, red wine, and apple cider caramel chocolates. What are you eating?

Mint tea and pretending it has lots of alcohol in it.

Wowsas.  I’ve been both the regretful sender and puzzled recipient of some not-intended messages, but THAT tops them all by a mile!  

Hope everyone’s having the best weekend they can, here’s to being ungreyed 😀

Bump. Register. Vote. Donate. Volunteer. Vote for the best progressive candidates in your Democratic primaries. If they don’t win, still vote for the Democratic candidate in your general, even if they’re a centrist shill. A centrist shill that helps Democrats gain control of the House is 100x more important than your…

I work in a social work department. One of my social worker colleagues had a text from one of his service users the other day. The text said “do you want to get together later for anal and then I’ll return the favour?” Then there were loads of texts saying “that wasn’t meant for you.”

Been pretty convinced that a somewhat sizable portion of Splinter’s approved popular commenters are right wingers trolling as angry uber progressives. Sometimes the language seems way too close to an alt-right meme of antifa or some other such shit. It wouldn’t be anywhere near the first times it’s been done on GMG…

Every photo I see of Affleck and Garner, she’s smiling and he looks like he’s been forced there at gunpoint. Just this expression of utter disdain. He even talked in his Oscar speech about how much work marriage was (which it is, but dude, you’re on international TV - just praise and thank your wife unreservedly, how…

That’s gotta be in the top! I have a friend who had a first date turn up to pick  her up for their date with a twelve pack in one hand and a car seat with a 6 week old infant in it in the other. Last minute he had to take custody of his 6 week old for the night, but he thought they could just netflix and chill instead…

Have had this happen too.  God what the hell. 

“hitting that hairy hole raw.”

Not a date, but I was on a plane once next to a guy who asked me where the plane was going. That was... interesting.

I met a guy on a Greyhound bus. He was very cute and we were making tentative plans to hang out at our destination but then we started talking about writing.

I once went on a first date with a guy, told him I wasn’t interested, and somehow continued to date him for six months.
