I really need to get a PO Box to be able to send my merch. So the return address isn’t present.
I‘d like to trust people, but…

It also seems like I am either interpreted as a cold bitch
Or a romantic consort.

I too would not change such things.
I like how I see the world and communicate.
& I enjoy earnestly connecting with humans.

But I become exhausted by the imagining of subtext that is not there. I say what I mean and I don’t speak in riddles.

(Also optional brain parts tribe is making me laugh!!)

“I didn’t even think about the neurodivergent piece.”

This bit hits like a truck. We of the optional brain parts tribe often get ourselves in trouble as we default to modes that NTs interpret in wiiiiiildly different manners.

Mind you, I’d not trade it for all the fish in the sea, but still. Oof.

Yes and yes.

I think he would say he knows me.
I would say he’s someone I have never met who follows me on social media

It’s different when one allows or welcomes you to take up space.

Thank you for your lovely, thoughtful presence.

I very much agree. 🖤plus, I think some of these purebreds have such close breeding lines that we are doing them a disservice in terms of health/longevity.

I adore my mutts.

😹😹😹
I mean I exercise my “no” a lot.

But I think it often translates to “no, unless….”

I didn’t even think about the neurodivergent piece.

Maybe people are just so weary of being lied to and manipulated

That the earnestness is too intimate?!

I fully agree with this.
I’m a human outside of a static social media post.

And the anger and hurt they exhibit when I decline.

Often I ponder capitulating because I don’t wanna hurt anyone. But I already feel harmed.

I waited a few days to even address it

But started with
“I am angry with you. I have had men reify relationships with me my entire life….”

Somehow I still have trinket.

I think I have been taught that this is the way most boys/men behave. Women have very little agency in their eyes.

I wait a couple days and ask for a mailing address

He says, “there’s a letter en route. I will edit it now that I have your response. And you can get the address from there.”

Ummm. No.
Return to sender. Just give me the address.

On warped tour in 2007. I was in the women’s restroom and Jeffrey Starr came in to pee
Which bathroom would they like him to use??
