We were all stuck at home bc of the random snow halfway through the week last month- it wasn't even that bad but I was grateful because the roads were icy and I wouldn't have been able to get a Lyft to work. I did what I tend to do when stuck at home with my pets and my own thoughts: I went on Hinge. I swiped, cautiously because I wasn't paying for another week of unlimited use- that had been my whole Christmas break and all I got was a bunch of hot people leaving me on read mid-conversation and having to block the absolute pinnacle of the mediocre white trans guys I've had short-lived stints with in the last year. I deserve better than that, and sometimes having unlimited choice isn't a good thing; I really wanted to hone in on people who were interesting, looked kind, AND I was attracted to. And then I matched with The Person, and I didn't start the conversation right away because they are the polar opposite of what I've been going for for years. But hey, what the hell, there was one particular picture that had really caught my eye and their job seemed interesting. Then they tried to do a pickup line but then fumbled it and explained that it was a reference to a French historical figure from a period I've never even heard of, and I was sold.

I turned the flirty text charm up to 11, got them to spill their favorite books... and then proceeded to have two horrible days at work and forgot about the app entirely. Thankfully they got anxious and made the first move to touch base before proclaiming me a lost cause because I was fully convinced that I had completely blown my chances, and we were back to the races. They have two master's degrees so I am hopelessly out of my depth in knowledge but I try to make up for it in other ways with as much grace as I can muster; they have a dry sense of humor and are incredibly gracious as I ramble about my pets and whatever other nonsense I can come up with. We talk for two days, they mention that they're going out of town with their sibling for the weekend, I bite the bullet and ask if they'd like to get dinner that Friday night before they leave, they say yes.

That was February 21st. It hasn't even been three weeks since I first met The Person for our first date and I feel like it's been forever in the best way. I can't stop thinking about them, truly. We text every day, just a quick burst back and forth about how our days are going or sharing pictures of Mickey and me on his Gotcha day or a selfie at the grilled cheese stand at the Preds game or the view from the back of the clinic after they comment about how with all the windows I'd better be getting some sunshine on the first really warm day of the year. I downloaded a book they mentioned really liking and am going to either listen to FKA Twigs for the first time or do a deep-dive into Mitski because those are two of their favorite artists and am starting to play a video game we found we'd both seen playthroughs of but it was just a bit too scary for them to play IRL.

We tease each other, and we just sit and talk for hours when we see each other and I always think it's never long enough. There's no exhaustion after spending time with them or feeling obligated to carry on the conversation or feign interest in any aspect of their life- just light and happiness and trepidation but also excitement. I've never felt this way about another person; I don't think I've ever felt this way at all.

Like the worst thing is that in Baby Reindeer Richard Gadd showed sympathy for Martha. As warped as it is, he understands she has a mental illness. Through all the abuse, he has depicted her in a way that is nuanced

And you now have the audience trying to contact her and harass her. Trying to do interviews and pictures with her

you people are fucking disgusting like unbelievable

Buddy Holly is the trans agenda.

The thing about those h*ylor theories too is that you need to ignore all of Harry’s other relationships/flings/hookups during those supposed time the haylors claim were part of the relationship after their breakup. As a 1D historian, boy those shippers are either ignorant or conveniently leave out a lot of stuff like larries and gaylors do. It pisses me off really cause I’m part of a lot of fandoms and was super obsessed growing up. Idk why h*ylor gets a pass despite all their proof being so null and need to make leaps, just cause they used to be together. But then the larries, gaylors, and xarries are immediately blown off. I do not believe in those 3 btw, it’s just that no matter how you spin it, creating a whole ass conspiracy theory and pass it off as FACT is always dangerous. I don’t care if they had a pass, FKA was literally disgustingly harassed by robsten shippers so don’t tell me those type of shippers are any way healthier or better.

I can’t call myself a 1D historian, but I was a LA/London girlie with a lot of connects to the scene and a lot of classmates who stalked Harry and I agree with you 😂

Either way, I will always find shipping real people loserly behavior. Don’t care which one you ship, don’t care if they’re true or not, I will find you a loser. If it comes to the point of the behavior you point out, I really think there’s some professional help needed.

Already seeing people on tiktok saying “I still hate trump but he ate with this one” like … babes … you just got propagandized … that’s literally exactly what he created this situation in the hopes you would say …

I'm going to *remembers suicide is often not a desire for death itself but rather an attempt to radically change one's life because the current state of being has become unbearable but the person can't think of any way to change it other than death* kill myself

[podcastwizard]

my most toxic trait is i fucking love work gossip. i play neutral not to be the bigger person or take the high road but to hear slander and hearsay from every side. two coworkers complained about each other to me in the same afternoon and i nearly blacked out from the rush

Someone at an old job asked why I wanted to write up the meeting minutes for our team and I said 'i wanna control the narrative' and they were like 'what' and I pointed out that no one was gonna remember what we said in six months and so my interpretation of the meeting would dictate the assumed reality of what happened

"none of you ever send corrections when I offer the draft so y'all have consented to my version"

"we don't read that shit"

"you must trust me implicitly to create our shared reality that's so sweet"

That's how several coworkers decided I was a supervillain and how I learned several coworkers didn't understand record keeping as like a CONCEPT

Maybe this therapy shit is working

I’m literally on thr verge of tears
