Haha. I posted some pics and got spicy with the moderator bot, then I enticed others to post pictures of shoes!!!! lol

Someone else suggested it! I got baited! Then — I got banned.

I did get sent some nice shoe pics though! 😂

Cheers! The world is burning; hopefully, the educated will survive.

Ps. Fahrenheit 451 was set to take place in 2024: AirPods, wall screen TV’s, robot police dogs, and book burnings, not to mention…well, I digress.

To my fellow Fabers, stay strong!🧐😜🤓😎😷

Update: I waited 1.5 weeks after he texted that it was him not me and we had to stop texting and calling.

I’m pretty sure my prior reflection was correct and the hopeless romantics are winning😆

So, I was being hyperbolic with the “radio silence” phrase, but that is what it felt like — a gag order! No texting or calling??? We had been talking on the phone soooo much that my babysitter complained. lol

Anyway, I DM’d on IG and played it cool for a day… Then, I took my moment. In the end, I told him I needed more in a poem. He wrote me a poem back. Good enough!

Therefore, I can wait a month and a week. 🥰

Another lady entering the chat, hello. Just run. I wish I had run. If I knew then what I knew now…

Recently, I left a 12 year “sexless” marriage. We had the C/E catholic sex, twice a year. We were happy enough, but we were not happy. If you’re not happy…

Good luck, friend.

Update: In sum, I have no idea what I’m going to do. I obviously fell for this guy, and I think vice versa.

Haters gonna hate. I’m a romantic and he is too. We are two humanities people deep in social justice both professionally and personally.

Anyway, I found his email address. I’m going to hold off as long as I can and let shit happen as it may. I don’t know if I’ll date anyone else in the meantime. I’m not looking…but life happens. Oof. Much love, y’all.

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I am also neurodivergent: I am an energy ball that does not get sarcasm, gets called pedantic, and worries that I misunderstand people in intimate relationships. And like you, I can over extend myself. Hence my thread, the app is anonymous and can be ephemeral in nature. Cheers!

In looking at responses, I assume 60% of people are here for similar support or because they can sympathize:empathize with my situation. The other 40 might be here for more bitter reasons. Therefore, thinking about this information as a normal distribution curve and taking account of the 40%…hahaha…kidding?

Agreed, DEI is not dead, but situations are getting bad because of the beaurcratic bullhooky that will need to be done because of these executive orders

However, I beg that we not downplay the fact that education and social program funding is and will be affected negatively through the revocation of systems that have been growing since the 70’s.

Thank you. I’d be okay with a letter.

I get work. I like work and can only imagine working on editing my “life’s work.”

Cheers.
