When I fall in love again, I hope it feels familiar, like a warm voice asking where I've been, and how I got so cold. she/her

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

I am literally incapable of having any kind of relationship with anyone. I fail every time and then I panic and just make everything worse. I'm tired of all of it. I give up. I don't want to do this anymore.

I'm holding on to a dream
that's been dead
longer than it was ever alive
clutching it's decaying corpse
against my empty heart
I look into its rotting face
I still see beauty
I don't know where
this coldness ends
and I begin
it's poisoning me
from the inside out
but I still
can't let go

When my friends found out I was moving to Boston, they were so worried about the racism that no one bothered to mention the goddamn turkeys.

or just stop posting sceeenshots from twitter like a pining divorcee whose friends all say “yeah they still haven’t gotten over it”’ behind their back
just a regular reminder to please alt text twitter screenshots with the names of the dipshits who tweeted them so those of us who left twitter in part to get away from said dipshits and muted said dipshits' names upon arriving here don't have to see their continued dipshittery

I see no reason not to look at the online gambling and prediction market craze as a new opioids crisis.
It will wreak havoc on lower-income Americans and leave a trail of destruction and despair in its wake.
The companies are just Purdue Pharma 2.0

For fat people, that means that the gnarliest anti-fat assholes in our lives are being told, day in & day out, that their bigotry and biases are correct and virtuous. They get to reassure themselves that their bullying of fat people is somehow a service to us.

That's not to say that the existence of GLP-1s are directly making people more bigoted in their anti-fatness. But their marketing relies on extremely anti-fat tropes, floods the airwaves with anti-fat messages, and sends the message that anti-fatness is not just pro-health, it's morally righteous.

When we talk about the ~ozempic discourse~ it's easy to think about that as a kind of broad social or marketing pressure that's applied equally to everyone with a body.
It's worth noting that it shows up in more acute & targeted ways, too. I'm getting more emails like this one than I have in years.

I used to know a woman who liked knitting little blankets for all her pet crows.
Then she got arrested for helping to cover up a murder.
