So, will all of these emotionally vulnerable CEOs be receiving therapy in one place? Asking for an emotionally vulnerable CEO friend, and for no other reason. : )

Briana Boston faces terrorism charges and CEOs are getting free therapy

Briana Boston is a 42 year old mother of three from Florida who is under house arrest for expressing her frustration at her insurance (which she PAYS for) who denied her claim. She owns ZERO guns and doesn't have a criminal record.

She was originally held in prison for $100,000 bail. They have not dropped the charges and she is under house arrest even after widespread backlash.

They are trying to charge her with terrorism. They want her to spend 15 years in prison.

They are calling her a Luigi Mangione copycat. As if she killed someone. She made a indirect, not at all credible threat.

Meanwhile...

I want every woman who has ever faced threats online, stalking, etc to bring this Briana Boston up at every opportunity. Every time you were told by police that there was nothing they could do, know that they not only CAN do something, but they WILL do something, just not for you.

Today I looked at my youngest cat after a rant about the state of the nation (U.S.) - and world at large - and in my baby-voice I do just for her, I go "You have no idea what a fascist is, and dat must be so nice!"

And man... it must be nice. No concept of war, of bigotry, of slander, of fascism, no concept of racism, sexism, or hate. She just knows she likes to play in water, and I can make food appear from the sky, and sometimes I make the sun turn on or off - she knows maintenance men are scary, and crinkly sounds are fun, but overstimulating sometimes, too.

She knows a long nap is all you need at times, or a good bout of silliness and running around... she doesn't know there's a genocide. She can't be afraid of what the future holds for people like me, and my friends. And something about all that pure innocence really has me in its grip, right now.

Sure, it would be nice to be blissfully ignorant... but I'm not. I am glad, however, that my 'daughter' will never 'grow up' like a human child would. She'll never know what those things are, and she'll never have to face those things in her lifetime - and I'm oddly grateful for her innocence. I'm glad that she's free of it all... and I'm sad that I have to have such thoughts at all.

You know, if CEOs want me to really care about CEOs getting killed by guns, maybe we shouldn't have spent the last couple decades making the US so numb to absolutely horrifying gun violence. I have reached the point where I can not cry when another round of kids in school are murdered with guns. No wonder I can feel vaguely amused when a sleazy millionaire who built his career off denying human rights and dignity is being murdered.

That being said, I don't want to be in charge of ranking who is most worthy of life and making the call on choosing who lives and dies.

Hmmm....You know who does want to be in charge of that?

Hi it’s me again!

I always think a joke about that scene from Empire strikes back being Vader hosting a dinner party is so funny to me

Because, like it gives the vibes of your dad sitting you down from one of those talks where you know you’re in trouble. But your boyfriend is also there, and so is his best friend, his ex (cough Lando), and his rival. Bonus points because the rival happens to be your dad’s best friend.

I don’t know I just want to know the discussion that happened after those doors closed LMAO

LMAO YEAH top ten messiest dinner parties ever

the Origins PC and companions are genuinely the funniest group of people if you actually think about it, like you got:

The Warden who literally got their job yesterday and was put in charge of saving the world for some reason

the second-most-recent warden who immediately pushed all the responsibility on you and REALLY doesn’t want to tell you who his daddy is because that would mean more responsibility he does not want

this random swamp witch who’s mother may or may not be Baba Yaga but she personally has never been anywhere larger than a small village and does NOT understand human interactions also she can turn into a spider

a bisexual nun who you met in a bar who told you that God told her to tag along with you but actually she used to be a spy and has murdered a lot of people, but also she assures you that she never took vows of chastity so she’s dtf

a grown up child soldier giant man who you got out of a cage for some reason who spends half the time negging you and talking in circles but is apparently into that and also the only thing he likes about your country is cookies

an assassin that was hired to kill you and immediately started flirting with you the moment he failed at doing that and you just thought it was a good call to let him tag along

an elderly woman who has assigned herself the role of group grandmother, really doesn’t want you to fuck or talk about griffins, and also she’s possessed. let’s be real, she probably regrets being in this group

a dwarf who’s wife ended up being a psychopath and a lesbian, so he just decided to skip town with you

a magical construct that has spent the last 30 years getting shit on by birds and just is REALLY pissed off by that

A dog that is able to comprehend human language and uses that ability solely to beg for treats

And the optional:

Literally the guy that you have been fighting against the entire fucking game

The thing is

it still hurts

to know -

You meant so very little

as to mean nothing at all

The thing about ADHD, and fair-weather friends... is that emotional dysfunction means that your friends mean a lot to you. They're SO important to you - and sure, just like with a bad romantic partner you've broken up with, people will say "You saved so much time by having them walk away sooner, rather than later! If they're so fickle as to believe the first lie they've been told about you, without even coming to you to talk about it, you're better off without that person in your life!" It doesn't matter to me if we've been friends for years, or a couple months - I still would have gone to that friend to discuss what I was told, to clarify and see if it's true. I would still offer grace for mistakes, and talk it out. Losing people I consider friends, or even people that are acquaintances that are on the track to becoming friends... is devastating. It makes you feel sub-human to think about how easily someone will cut you out if you do so much as have a different opinion - or if you set normal, healthy boundaries, and they're not allowed to cross those boundaries. Walking on eggshells because you'll be witch-hunted for having a differing opinion has genuinely driven me to be solitary...and depressed because of it. This kind of toxic positivity is so bad in the XIV community, that I'm not the only one pulling away - I have a list of friends who left in a hurry because of the toxic positivity culture in the XIV RP community. It's bad everywhere now, but I've watched the rapid decline of the XIV community into a pack of witch-hunting purists who attack anyone who disagrees with whatever the popular opinions of the time are... since 2019. During my first couple of years in this community, the worst issue was sexual abuse of a friend of mine by major players in the community, but I've watched friends drop like flies every year, until I'm alone...and those friends will rant in Discord DMs, but never openly... because the XIV community will come for your throat and lie about you, and harass you until you're either suicidal, or you leave the game/community, or both.

I've had someone I consider to basically be my best friend outright lie and hide something from me before... out of an impulse to not hurt me with the truth - and the thing is, we're all human. I told that person to never fucking lie to me again, because... well, I don't lie, and I don't deal with liars... but I knew where this person was coming from. The intent was good... the execution was hurtful.

Sometimes, we make mistakes. Sometimes, you've just been told a lie, or only been shown a carefully selected piece of information meant to paint a person in a bad light... but sometimes? People just fuck up.

I'm no devout christian or the like, and I don't expect any strangers on the internet reading this to be, either... but they were onto some shit when Jesus told some guys about to stone a woman to death to let he who is without sin cast the first stone, you know? You don't have to practice any faith in the world, to know the truth in those words.

Are your hands clean?

Dragon Ball Takes a Shot at Goku as Vegeta Lays Out His Biggest Flaw In a Single Sentence

Yeah, I've never liked the typical shonen protag recipe of "uber strong himbo idiot who loves to eat," but a selfish protag that's celebrated as if they do no wrong is also my last favorite kind (looking at you Sabrina from CAOS). And Vegeta was my first introduction into preferring a villain, as a kid? But I've always liked him - he can be abrasive, but he's clever and speaks his mind... and there's no false pretense about who he is, like with Goku. (Not to mention, I feel like he's the better dad of the two... he seems less keen on risking his son's life while the kid is still a toddler.) And as much as I've never liked Chi-chi because she seems overbearing... when does she ever get to see her husband?? How do they even have children...Goku is dead more often than he's not, and he's off fighting when he IS alive! It's a wonder they have kids at all, but he has left a (former) enemy, and his wife, to raise his sons alone - pretty stereotypical Saiyan of him, I'd say, to prioritize fighting over anything else.

sometimes I think too hard about like. how the ability to record audio fundamentally changed how humans interact with music. can you imagine if the only time you ever heard music in your whole life was when you or another human being in your actual physical presence decided to create it. and 99.99% of the time that person was not a professional but just like your wife or your dad or your co-worker or church choir singing or playing whatever they happened to know. i honestly don't think we can fathom it

And if you want to go realistic with it? I have three cats - they come in small, medium, and large! My calico is very petite, and even has a goofily short tail. My orange cat is much larger than the average cat, and my tortie is perfectly average... even if the way she stands half the time makes her legs look stubby.

people cats come in all different shapes and sizes and I just think thats beautiful ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hope they have medical care they desperately need, and their insurance, if they have it, denies it. : )

This! I'm in a bad way with the muscles in my back and had to get physical therapy for months this year after throwing out my back while stepping over my cat. But that's because I've been sitting at a desk for years, and that has caused severe issues with muscles from my hips, all the way up to my neck, and I have regular muscle tension migraines, and my insurance hates paying for physical therapy that I desperately need (deny, defend, depose), but above all? You have to start slow. No matter how badly you want to go faster, or do more... you'll set yourself back.

The holiday is mostly just another day for me, anymore - so if it's nothing all that special to you either? Do something nice for yourself anyways. Life is hard enough - cut yourself some slack while everyone else is doing the same. Have your favorite food or drink, watch your favorite movie, whatever it is that you do to relax and treat yourself - you don't need a guy in a red suit for that.
