You’re welcome! I wish you all the best <3

He writes like Sean Penn and he must be stopped. 

My friend, if I can do it, literally anybody can do it because I am a loose association of emotional damage held together with string, and my gut reaction to any kind of change or challenge is to burn my life down and flee into the woods. I’m in my early thirties and I sort of assumed that I’d missed the window on…

<3 My current attitude is that while he is sometimes just an absolute fucking potato, he’s my potato.

Thank you!

Thank you! Given that I once thought that if he ever kissed me then I would be so nervous I would vomit up my entire skeleton, I feel I am making Progress

Thank you! I thought that for once in my life I’d try and carpe that diem.

I’ve missed SNS for months so I’m glad to finally be around for an open thread. I posted in SNS this time last year about how someone had asked me out and I was super nervous about it due to my lack of romantic experience and general awkwardness. Anyway, we didn’t end up actually dating because he behaved like a ninny,…

fixin up a good ol pup

I’m sorry that happened to you. I was 18 when I started dating my 40 year old former teacher. We went out for just over a year and it fucked me up enormously. His next girlfriend after me was 17, when he was 47. Both myself and the next girlfriend were extremely vulnerable due to stuff that was going on in our home…

I remember back in 2006 when a serial killer murdered five sex workers in Ipswich, and the absolute shitlord Richard Littlejohn wrote a column complaining that people were being too respectful in the way they spoke about these murdered women. Stewart Lee did an absolutely biting standup routine involving Littlejohn…

Branch was the one that got me. BRANCH. 

I have been listening to Linger on a loop since I got home from work, I had no idea she wrote it so young. 

EDIT: Just realised this contains an ableist slur, am warning appropriately

My 16 year old cat was under anaesthetic for a pretty minor thyroid issue and they found out he had a large cancerous tumour pressing against his heart and had to have him put to sleep there and then. We never even thought about it when we dropped him off at the vets that morning, he seemed in such good health.

Ugh, it’s so hard feeling like you’re not really independent or a ‘proper’ adult, and people can be jerks. For what a stranger on the internet’s opinion is worth, you’ve got nothing to feel bad about. Keep kickin ass, my pal.

Absolutely, but I appreciated Ashley pointing out that living with parents isn’t inherently shameful (just the being-a-Nazi-who-is-insolvent-due-to-chronic-white-supremacy part).

You’re welcome! I know so many people who live with parents, either because they’re poorly, or their parents are older and need care, or because they aren’t in a great financial position (I live in an area with lower than average wages and a huge disparity between average wages and house prices). The idea that…

Normally, it would be a dick move to laugh at someone for living at home in their thirties, or mock one’s financial pickle. But Kessler is a virulent racist behind the Charlottesville, Virginia Unite the Right where Heather Heyer was killed after a white supremacist drove his car into a crowd of counter-protesters. So…
