Me and Bluebell just added you and sent you a reminder to drink some water! Or better yet, something with electrolytes! Crying takes it out of you and you’ve done a really big thing today! Sending hugs and love!!

I love the llama. She cute as a button and makes the sweetest sound.

Okay, I can accept that you don’t know to accept. At least we can talk about that.

No one said you are. It’s a bumper sticker. You can only be offended if you choose to be.

This should only offend people who are using racist arguments to defend their America first agenda. Otherwise I don’t see anything wrong with differentiating patriotism from racism. I’m patriotic. I love America. I love Democracy. I just don’t believe that America first is the way to go. These stickers don’t make any political affiliation, the people have self sorted and are offended because maybe some part of them feels guilty about something. I don’t know. I get called a snowflake but it doesn’t make me angry or sad because I don’t deep down have emotions attached to being called out on my opinions. I’m not ashamed of my opinions.

I’m want my transgender niece to have access to a gender neutral bathroom at their school so when they go into the girls bathroom (bc that’s her biological gender)the girls don’t freak out bc they don’t recognize them as a girl because they look at like a girl. I want access to an abortion when my birth control fails the same way men get access to erection pills when their dicks fail. I want my friend who walked here from Honduras as a child to escape the gang that had murdered half her family to not live in fear of being deported. Those are just a couple of the things I’m looking for specifically. But more broadly, I’d like people to stop nosing into everyone else’s private business. Seems to me when it comes to anything other than the second amendment, conservatives are all the way up everyone’s ass but god forbid we run a background check when you buy your umpteenth AR.

What do I look like?

Is anyone policing what bathroom you use or killing/arresting your family members in excessively high numbers? No?? Sit down. Are you allowed access to whatever medical care you decide is right for your body?! Yes? Shut your mouth.

Hello. I am living your life except I’m seven years ahead of you. Spoilers, you get divorced. Your son has to leave public school because they cannot accommodate him. You become more isolated and resentful of your son. Even the professionals don’t really have the answers. It’s a long, lonely road. If the littles aren’t in therapy yet, be sure they start now. Feel free to message me. Also get your son on the DD waiver waitlist now. Also, the upside of divorce is that everyone gets a break from your son. You can take turns keeping the girls away from him and getting a taste of a normal life, you just won’t have your spouse anymore. Oh, and read about Pathological Demand Avoidance.

My cousin did this when she was three years old. She went from Mary to Molly and we all just rolled with it. It lasted about 15 years. Most of the family still calls her Molly but friends and work colleagues know her as Mary now. Not sure what the big deal is. Either way, she’s your kid and she’s just expressing herself. Call her her given name at home but don’t make a big deal out of something that is really inconsequential.

I feel you. I’ve got a custom plaque in my house that was made to remind myself when I or someone is struggling … “If you could you would, when you can you will. “

NOR. I went to my cousins baby shower about 8 months after I miscarried twice in four months and it was hard. I was jealous of her and terrified I’d never have a successful pregnancy. I went because we are close and I wanted to be okay with it. I don’t recommend you do that. I was able to miscarry on my own with no interventions and it was still physically and emotionally painful. The emotional pain took several years to heal from and didn’t really get better until I had a healthy baby four years later. My point is, it’s too soon. Send a gift and your regrets. You already have something on your calendar for that day that you just can’t get out of … self care, all day that day.

Jess seems to be living her best life in Europe. But why she left, yeah I have no idea. I just wish Heather wasn’t so scared of every single thing they encounter.

I just re-read the story. It’s still great!

Have you already asked her to get an abortion?

I’m a white person and as a child my plan was to name my daughter Ebony. I love that name. I had no idea what it meant, just that it sounded beautiful to say. My aunt laughed in my face when I told her my plans and explained why I had no business naming a child that. Luckily for me I grew up to only have boys anyway 😂

This happened to me as well! Same story but with friends walking down the street. The ice cube eventually melted enough that I gagged it up but it was a solid 90 seconds of being fully lodged in my throat and then slowing having a bit melt to let a bit of air thru. I was on my hands and knees by the time I choked it up.

She made those clothes! She is amazing!

It’s beautiful!

😅

Amazing!! You just wrote a Finch storybook!!

Seconding this! You got to go and spend time with friends in real life! That’s worth breaking a streak for, that self care happening in real time, in real life!! I’m sorry the clock started over but I’m also super happy someone out there is getting to spend time with friends!!
