I am vibrating with fear about some offhand comment she made and this spreadsheet which she threw together, admitted wasn't right, and then proceeded to advise me anyway.

I can't read it without hitching. Disgusting.

Good god.

I was deep in it last night, though, goddamn.

I might take you up on that. The only thing that's getting me through this is talking to other people about it. I thought I was an island and I was really fucking mistaken. My marriage had me 100% isolated and feeling like a bother to everyone.

Im a wreck! The end is so close, and so fucking far, and also I am deeply uncertain of what's on the other side, which will be affected by the choices I make now, except there are no good choices that I can see.

Hey, I'm in the worst of my divorce, where there is nothing I can do right. All the paths seem bad. Every choice appears to lead directly to hell.

Is there something on the other side? Because I'm very close to throwing myself in front of a bus to get it to fucking stop.

This guy knows his British history!

The whole thing is so deeply fucking stupid. Like, she did something for herself, a small thing, and therefore she is ineligible? Like shouldn't we be encouraging these things?

I have a friend who is really quite disabled physically and simply cannot work who is losing all her benefits bc she wrote a book years ago that netted something like 50k overall. The money is long gone but it's a big part of their argument for cutting benefits. She'll be out on the street.

This shit is hilarious. There isn't a single ideologue in this country who can sort out what's happening here. Collapses all the categories of analysis for them.

If only life would lay off the tasks. Anxiety ghoul is almost a euphemism for how I feel today.

aw.

Snacks and noone trying to make me "be good."

That there are men out there like this makes me want to never leave the fucking house again.

Oh, he's a predator.

Omg it happens so many times. It's no movie. The good part is that if you have the chance to fumble, you are in a place where the opportunities appear and you can see them enough to know you dropped one. That's a huge benefit, ultimately. Congratulations!

yerp. me too.

Time for amoebanthropologists to be called in.
