Been working on this new series. I feel like I'm hitting my stride. Not only it is art and fun to make, but it's words and language and poking fun at the ridiculous things we do for love.
I'm hitting all my sweet spots.

I would say, "Opinions are like orgasms...mine matters most and depending on how much I like you, yours might matter, too." 🤣

New word, inspired by a conversation two nights ago.
romagination
/rōˌmajəˈnāSH(ə)n/
when one person’s “this is just how I date” smashes into the other’s “this is how I show deep commitment.” No one’s technically wrong, but someone’s definitely catching feelings they didn’t sign up for.

Not my word or concept, but...
Have y'all heard of labor digging? When rather than dating for love or money, the dating is for labor. Including, but not limited to:
- Housework
- Cooking
- Childcare
- Emotional
You know, all those pesky things needed to keep a convenient life convenient.

Have you heard, "You teach people how to treat you?"
You probably have. I don't agree with that. I believe that people are going to treat you however THEY want.
You have the power to teach what you will and will not accept.
Which is where the concept of ruinous empathy comes in.

Ugh! 💩 like this just pisses me off.
It’s the other side of “be more submissive” messaging sent to women, to create the full trap of “can’t win,” and they are trying to say that it’s women creating the trap for men.

A new work that made me laugh this morning. Wanna play along and use 'nexit' in a sentence? Here's another:
When I caught myself explaining basic human decency for the 3rd time, I hit the nexit button—I’m not running a seminar on empathy; I’m just trying to enjoy a cuppa tea and get boned.

Some of the BEST people at getting love...are the worst people. Well, those who are the most natural, anyway.

Thanksgiving today is me and my sweetie. I started with biscuits and gravy. He’ll be making shrimp and grits later.
And we may put together our new toy: a laser engraving machine.

LOL! We all do it. Well, many of us do. Especially the creatives and the romantics.
Admit it. I know it's cringe.
The problem isn't that we do it. It's that we sometimes INVEST in it and believe in it...which is kinda like believing Rambo is real. Or pr0n.

UBI saves a ton of public money, but its lack of cruelty sends certain people into a rage, so it’s hard to put into practice.
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

I've already mentioned that I love words, and I'm passionate bout love, sex, and relationships. I enjoy being silly and creative.
But it could also be the is the most fun I've had avoiding reality in a while.

THIS. I took a break this weekend, and although I am overall a positive person, seeing the news in my feed just makes me want to shut down and engage in coping mechanisms.
