#but theres some things i just cant talk to her about

My mom when i tell her ive been having some serious sexual confusion for the past three years. As in i think im full les, not just pan like i thought. I tell her ive been feeling this way for years and ive always known ive been into girls.

Her reaction:

“Youre just feeling this way because youre in your 20s.”

“When youre in your 30s youre gonna want to settle down with a man.”

“You’re too young to be making life decisions like this.”

“You cant be selfish like this, you need to think of other people.”

“Trust me, ive felt like this before, youre not gonna want to be with a woman for the rest of your life.”

“When youre with a woman its the most soul crushing heartache. Youre not gonna want that.”

“You’ve gone through this before. Remember when you were a teenager. You used to feel like this all the time. It will pass.”

“You cant always be happy. Thats part of being an adult.”

“You just haven’t been in enough intimate relationships. You’re just confused because you haven’t been with that many people.”

“You know I’ve always supported you.”

revisiting this site every now and then to reminisce in how much it shaped me as a person and defined me as a literal child

very very personal, just insight into where im at w my family and things that bother me/have encouraged me to move out

"i know youre moving out so im just gonna say no ones kicking you out and if you feel like this is something you have to do then ok"

thanks! i know im not being kicked out! but yknow i kinda yet a weird vibe when your out of touch husband takes me to a cemetery to yell at me, tell me im just like my father/dont give my father "the time of day", and that im "mean to people who care about me" in front of his dead mother's grave in a poor attempt at guilting me out of speaking my mind. but no yeah thanks for stating the fucking obvious that im leaving on my own terms

"why are people mad about AI being pushed on them when they SHOULD be mad about all the privacy erosion??"

1) plenty of us bitches are mad and annoyed about both, actually.

2) the privacy erosion has become the normalized state of existence for the average person for the last 10 fucking years at least, its snuck in, they disguise it as Convenient Features to Help You Shop Better, and thats IF they bother telling you theyre doing it, instead of just opting all your shit in without asking, its so fucking normalized that yeah, a lot of people do not bother to question it, they just sigh in resignation and go, yeah, i guess, do i even have other options? and they do, but theyre an investment of learning and time you dont have capacity for at the moment, or maybe you do but you feel like you dont bc it feels like a bigger hurdle than it is, and computer stuff is already kind of intimidating, cos man, what if you hit the wrong thing and brick your expensive ass machine? easier to just let it data harvest, you guess, it cant be THAT bad, can it? plenty of people live like this, put up with this, seek this out, its easier not to resist the privacy erosion. fucking whatever, i guess. yeah, i guess twitter i mean X, or walmart, or facebook, can just have all of my contact info and my phone number and my birthday and phone contacts and bank information and fuck it, give them my ssn while im at it. less effort later. this is just how tech has been for the last 10 yrs. no one can effectively get rage clicks on this topic anymore bc we all fucking know. it sucks and we know. what do you want me to fucking do about it? i have other shit to deal with more urgently. etc

3)

you cant turn anything on or log onto anything or go anywhere without hearing about whatever new shit theyre throwing AI at for no real reason, no one will fucking Shut Up about AI, and its Annoying, man

[no-light-left-on]

hot take but taking every hearsay or rumor or book in a fictional universe for fact is bad understanding of the world as the story presents it, actually

[orcelito]

God I don't wanna go to therapy tomorrow. Sick of talking about my feelings in a clinical setting. I do enough psychoanalysis just by myself, and now I gotta sit through it with someone else??? Come on.

legitimately what the fuck was that

[fellhellion]

something i find really enjoyable about book 3′s antagonists is that Sin and Detective have mirrored struggles with helplessness in the face of the same opponent. Anwir/Cessir (?) don’t really matter because at the core of it, they’re simply a greedy, trafficking opportunist and there purposely isn’t depth beyond that. the point of tension within book 3 isn’t so much about conquering a specific foe as it is struggling with the feeling that you lack the ability to truly do anything to combat them. the emotional culmination to the auction is freeing those it dehumanises yes, but also coming face to face with a mirror of the helplessness experienced throughout the entire narrative

I think people being like “it’s a soap opera what do you expect” are being a little obtuse. Like yes the show gets a little ridiculous or silly but it’s not usually this bad lol. The writers actually built up a lot of trust and good faith especially after s3.

i agree, lol. the surprise kid for judd last season was almost a questionable decision, but i felt the follow through actually wasn't melodramatic, so it worked for me. and s3 did a good job of taking storylines i didn't think i would like and actually making it work reasonably. but i can tell from this single episode and the rushed explanations they had carlos giving, it's absolutely a plot shoehorned in just bc tim maybe considered a connection between iris and carlos in s1 and was, for some reason, convinced this was the funniest way to do it right at this very moment. and i've given him a lot of credit in the past for making smart decisions with what he has in front of him (literally his own doing though), but i do think shows like this reach a point sometimes where it just feels like they're upping the level of ridiculousness almost unnecessarily, just for entertainment/to try catch you off guard. i've felt that way about the og, and this is the first time i've felt it about lone star. it makes me feel less invested when they're willing to give up some of their own prior characterization and literal plot for the sake of dramatic twists (that aren't really twists when you tease the way they do lol).

Thinking about how i had a not zero amount of symptoms that i never told adults about while i was a child. And now i just spend the foreseeable future not know what's wrong with me

[transgothicgenre]

i really like mole because it's like. it's about a lot of things. but one of the biggest parts to me is the paranoia . like. "i know what you want and you know what i want" is already so incredibly damning bc that's not how human interaction works so at least one of these parties is making assumptions. and then just following that line up with "information, information". again its the assumption bc neither party is saying with any clarity what the information is so they could be communicating on totally different wavelengths but there's still just that unspoken level of assumption. you know what i want. i know what you want. we don't need to specify at all. you know. i know.

what's a little fun fact about each of the four kids? do they have a fun hobby, a weird (positive) quirk, a favorite food you associate with them?

Hiii thank you so much for asking! I'm sorry I'm getting back to you late, but I appreciate you giving me a chance to talk about my babies! 🥺💖💖 so as for fun facts, here we go!

Kaiza - she takes after Rex the most, and similarly has little nervous habits of his like tapping her fingers when she (poorly) lies and when her eyebrows knit together worriedly she looks so much like him it's uncanny! 😭💖💖

Quinn - he's the only boy and one of the only Force-sensitive of the kids, so from a relatively young age the family friend (my bff's s/i) starts training him to use it and teaches him the history of the Jedi and how their hubris led to their downfall. Quinn isn't really super interested in all that though, he mostly wants to learn how to use a lightsaber 😂😂 he also has a bit of a sweet tooth, but very sensitive teeth so he tries to sneak on treats when he knows he's not supposed to!

Kiara - she's Quinn's twin and is also Force-sensitive, though she tends to learn more from Brea how to use it to heal and connect with beings through the Living Force! She has a knack for bringing home critters of varying shapes and sizes 😅 much to Brea and Rex's concern!

Mirri - Mirri is mainly nonverbal, and prefers to communicate by writing what they want to say on Rex's old datapad, but most of the time their family knows them well enough to understand them without needing it! They spend most of their time going over as much data as they can find and they're really handy with repairs and technology in general. Rex and Brea found them in a junkyard while on a supply run one day and decided they couldn't leave them behind!
