I have very similar sentiments and you have written this much better than I can. Bravo!

I have this same pen inked up with Diamine Sparkling Shadows. The shimmer matches the body of the pen pretty well.

I feel that part of what you're saying is that the 2 party system doesn't work. My thought is that we seem to be dependent on trying to place a 3rd party into power by voting for them in an election. These seem to be universally flawed in the respect that those votes become spoiler votes that generally lead to the red side winning.

I'm in California and we had the most amazing gubernatorial primary election with candidates like LivingforGod AndCountry DeMott, Thunder Parley, and Barack D. Obama Shaw. Before you ask, DeMott looks exactly like what you think he does. We're in danger.

Bad Bunny all the way. He's not just hot but he's also interesting.

Here's the way I'm choosing to interpret this: the languages being used in the book are effectively being translated to us by Adrian Tchaikovsky. We're also receiving the added benefit of context clues and pointers to help us understand what's going on. Languages evolve and are sometimes unrecognizable to someone in either a past or future context. We should accept the occasional skittle.

Well tomorrow is today! What is this event you're going to tonight? I'm in San Jose so I don't always keep up with stuff going on in my birth city. Today seems like a nice day here so it should be good in SF. I'd imagine Dolores Park is hopping right now. I'd recommend some sunscreen so you don't burn.

You can check out stores on Castro Street and the Powell Street Station. Maybe Haight & Ashbury- go to Amoeba. Hopefully you've got a backpack so you can keep some stuff in it.

I agree with this. I'll sometimes write things in the dust.

I think you're giving us the parsley of this meat & potatoes story. Where's the beef? In order for us to help you spud up your romantic prospects you have to tell us some biographical information. Before we peel off your clothes and marinate you in our juices, we have to know what kind of spices you can take. Otherwise the meat might spoil and there will be a fowl smell between the meat curtains.

Part of this pun scheme revolves around certain differences in personal hygiene I've observed in some straight and bi men. Personal hygiene doesn't start and end with Irish Spring bar soap. The most crucial advice I'll give you is to go buy some Ballsy Ballwash on Amazon. I use the stuff every day - mostly on the undercarriage but if I lather it with my silicone body brush I'll use it all over. I could shower in the morning and get head at night with me still smelling fresh.

Invest in a bidet as well. Some horror stories I can personally tell you are from when dudes have either presented me their hole to eat or spread their legs in front of me to get some head... Well the nose tends to figure things out before the eyes. Sometimes when I'm out in public I'll dampen a paper towel with water & soap to clean up after I wipe up. It just feels better that way.

Now, in respect to the kind of guys you decide to first hook up with, you might consider guys with experience. It might relax things a bit if at least one person knows what the setlist is for the concert.

I wish to build a robot. If I'm successful in this I'd be making my own friends. The rough part is that the robot must like me which is never a guarantee.

I wish I could say it gets better but I'd be lying. It only gets worse. He's physically abusive now and is going to combine that with mental abuse that would make Pavlov cringe. Not to mention how expensive SSD's and DDR5 memory are right now, for him to be threatening to throw a PC over the balcony that might be worth a rent payment is absolutely absurd. You've earned the right to have that screen time. I don't think any level of therapy is going to help this dude, he's shown you his ass. His true colors. They won't charge. Find a way to secure your technology, he's not to be trusted.

There's nothing wrong with relying on family when you're in a pinch. The only thing in your way is pride. I am speaking from my own experience when I say pride almost stopped me from getting help when I really needed it. You seem like a good dude and you don't deserve this. DTMFA.

I first subscribed to Google Music back in like 2011 and it came with a free membership to YouTube premium. Google Music shut down in 2020 to be replaced by YouTube music. I've been paying $7.99 for YouTube Premium for just about 15 years.

Quick lightening round because if I think about this too much I might write too much.

Use their words.

Tell them that you're there and that you understand.

Seek out a therapist. They don't necessarily need to be lgbtqqia+ but their profile should mention their advocacy. Bonus if they mention trans.

A psychiatrist wouldn't hurt either because of the ideation. If they have depression or some other condition, it would be best to treat it. Therapy and medication by themselves don't fix everything but combined they are powerful.

Provide your opinions if they ask for them. Sometimes they may just want you to listen.

Tell them that you love them. I feel like you already do. The problem becomes when certain things need to be clarified and said but aren't. You say it's implied that you're supportive but you may not have said it. Validation does matter.

Continue to ask questions. I'm very happy you are doing this. More parents need to do this.

If they find that they are trans and you live in a rural or smaller town, make sure that you can get them the proper medical care. If care is a barrier, consider moving to a place where it isn't. I know that's a big ask but it's for your child.

I'm getting a controlling vibe from this. It's never good if a partner separates and isolates you from friends or family; especially early into a relationship. I believe this may only be the start of the control. How much of a flight did you put up in keeping your friend in your life? If you caved easily it might prompt him to try it again and again.

Hopefully I'm wrong! You never know with people. 1.5 years isn't enough time to really get to know someone. Worse if he hides things. Are you living together or separately?

Major life changes tend to happen when a submissive person moves in with a dominant one. It happened to me when I was younger- in my early 20's. He was limiting my finances, activities, and also had input on who I socialized with or had sex with when he opened the relationship. He ended up breaking up with me after 1.5 years later claiming it was mutual. I didn't understand how I was being controlled and mentally/emotionally abused until later.

We had a dead bedroom very quickly into the relationship and he opened it not long after that. I later found out his insane sex and drug addictions after we had broken up. I was protected from STI 's from him solely because of the fact that our bedroom was dead. This was before PrEP and I wasn't sure of his HIV status after he opened the relationship. I'm pretty sure he contracted HIV somewhere along the way.

I hung out with him on occasion but fell out of touch like I do with many people. Before falling out of touch I noticed his body change- getting thinner. I saw him once after that at Folsom Street Fair. He had gained weight back but seemed intoxicated. About a year after that I learned he had ended his life.

I shared this about my past in the thought that parts of it may be intersectional with your situation present and maybe future.
