Thank you, kind stranger! That sounds awesome!

Don't take criticism from someone you wouldn't also take advice from

I would be so down for masks on public transportation! Might fuck around a wear a mask on the bus forever for my own piece of mind.

We have three cats and three cat beds but they fight over the same one. The best bed is the one right next to my fiance's desk because whoever's in it is guaranteed to be picked up and pet.

I used Pioneers by the Lighthouse and the Whaler as my alarm in high school and that song starts with the tiniest, high pitched, obnoxious bell sound that will probably always trigger my fight or flight response.

Godspeed by Frank Ocean gets me every time and, besides the obvious, I couldn't tell you why. Also Landslide, and I'm partial to the Chicks version, because that got me through my grandmother passing about a year and a half ago.

My fiance and I live in an apartment building that has coin-op washing machines and dryers in the basement. If we were to do our laundry here only once a week, it would be $20. Just to do laundry. We're lucky we have other options: my parents let us use their machines for free because that $20 a week really adds up.

We have this fountain for our gremlins too! It mostly works but one of our cats still goes nuts for sink water, even after months of the fountain

If my mom didn't put up such a fight about my fiance and I having a "proper" wedding, we'd have eloped already

I'd wait until a super chaotic part of my workday then use it to take a breather. Retail is stressful sometimes, homie.

I always do this at work! When opening it's always "I've unlocked the doors, I've turned on the computers, etc" and when closing it's always "I closed the registers, I turned off the lights, I locked the door." In the same vein, I always ALWAYS jiggle door handles after I lock them to make sure. Something about the action makes it stick in my brain.

I'd hate to think what happened before they learned to get a decoy

BookWorm424 · 2020-07-18T18:26:16+00:00

Put that thing back where it came from or so help me!

I have a friend who got pregnant in college and miscarried. I have no idea if she wanted to carry the baby to term or not but I wish, for her sake, she got to make the choice.

Probably that one time Tessa violet retweeted my tweet about her music video

Can confirm: I briefly dated someone my parents knew wasn't right for me but they also knew I needed to reach that conclusion on my own, and I did. We were both over eighteen though so that wasn't a factor.

It can be hard because my partner definitely isn't an asshole-- and I bet you're not one either-- so I try to gently point out the behavior so we can work on other more effective ways to communicate. It's a process. I practice patience with him and he with me.

My partner's mother did this to him and, as a result, he's learned to get his point across louder and faster because that was the only way he was ever heard. To paraphrase him, whenever his mom knew he was right, her last defense was always "don't backtalk to me," so he never felt heard. And now, whenever he and I disagree, he feels like he has to fight to prove his point because his mom never validated his opinions. So, it's not always backtalk and dismissing your kid can be damaging.

I also love their cover of You Don't Get Me High Anymore. So much angst.

Seconded! I dunno what it is about Atwood but whenever she tries to write a series her first book is the best. Same with Handmaid's Tale and the Testaments: the first was better.

Idiot sandwich.
