the kicker is that this is just a fairly small, polite little hickey that happened to escape its covering. not like when i first started dating Lu and i’d look like i’d been mauled by a wild animal with no hopes of covering with anything less than a turtleneck :’)

sure, had this been a formal setting i would have taken care to cover up, but this is a dance class, and in the past we’ve spoken about polyamory and touched on various mature topics so like girl CALM DOWN I’M A MARRIED ADULT!

the man knows he’s about!

wacht maar tot je bossche bol hebt gehad bestie

oh real. i do think it’s a better estimate (the 10-15 is so people don’t start out hackles raised “you’re an alarmist” style :’)) but it’s pretty bleak when people who work in govt say that shit to you

she ALSO thought my “don’t scare the normies” estimate of 10-15 years to another huge war was very optimistic, putting it closer to 5 years herself. i mean. at least she’s honest but wow if ppl working on govt say this shit it’s very dire

she said it because we were talking about the political climate and apparently the disability office is also starting to notice changes in policy coming in from above, but man. the dystopia of it all. consider what you like doing while you’re still allowed a choice.

if i had a nickle for every time men approach me despite me looking Like This i’d have several nickels which like it’s not enough to buy anything but it’s still an amount of change i’m like “where do i pawn this off”

[solemn weird dog handshake] you’re so real for this
