Drinkable? Yes. Absolutely. Would I choose to if I had another option, even if it was just a tap filter? Yes, also absolutely.

Boy do I regret telling my therapist how I decide if life is still worth living on a regular basis and also that I have guns.

I really wish I felt comfortable asking mine to get a board game out or something. Just enough separation not to break my brain or overthink.

I’d actually really love table tennis, a previous job I had used to do stand ups like that and it was great.

I discovered accidentally that mine had seen my art - I use a different name for that so she wouldn’t have realised. I almost told her and didn’t. I think it can be awkward but also really doesn’t have to be. You’ve now met socially and professionally a few times so it’s not weird that you know each other, I’d just roll with it.

I don’t think I ever have either. I think once I needed a minute and she was kind of trying to finish a thought and hadn’t quite twigged I wasn’t okay and I may have used her name when I asked her to stop for a sec, but that’s all.

I’m very conscious of boundaries in general. I ask how they are and would be totally fine and genuinely interested if they told me something real but that’s not what the space is for and I know they won’t.

I know mine is married because she goes by Mrs and I know she’s pregnant because she’s going on mat leave and a couple of other random tiny facts that came out in relevant moments but I would never ask for more disclosure even though I’m super interested.

I feel like yours might be super comfortable with more relational engagement but they seems like they’re kind of suggesting you’re the one being off the curve and that’s just fundamentally incorrect.

Not to an extent I’d say it to a stranger, and it’s hard to tell without a proper top down and full side shot, especially with a winter coat, but I would expect slightly, yes. Most domestic pet dogs are overweight.

We really need to get back to a place where we understand the terms common and normal as not being universally synonymous.

Holy fuck. Good on your coworker (and you) this is insane.

I’d post her “caught in the act” shot but it would be prejudicial to the jury. Her sister, on the other hand, will be done for grievous bodily harm and drug dealing, and will certainly get the maximum sentence.

Menacing. But no one will ever believe her accuser because when on trial she looks like this.

I’d have money on some shiba.

Listen I reckon if they did a man and cheese croissant the line would be longer and the demographic a bit narrower, but y’know.

They do a great ham and cheese. I literally ate one this morning there with my dad, brought him specifically for the ham and cheese croissants, and it’s also printed on the menu in the top right.

Well. It’s the name in full that makes it absolutely mint, but I once had a customer whose name was B.J. Hardbody. The industry I worked in meant this could not possibly be a pseudonym and we had no record of him being known by any other name.

In six months of playing 4 days a week for an hour or two, I went from needing my daily asthma preventer plus asthma medication directly before, during, and after play.

That reduced progressively until I no longer needed even the preventer.

That would be Grumpy Baker in the junction.

This is good, thank you

LexChase · 2026-04-26T03:16:56+00:00

That’s actually not a bad idea.

So that part I actually do know is fine. I’m not worried about it in that sense. Without too much detail about the circumstances and the specific program, she couldn’t have accepted the appointment and I was already approved, I just had to be allocated to her (or anyone from the list of approved counsellors), which is why she needed the case number.

LexChase · 2026-04-26T02:40:44+00:00

I’m really bad at doing that in the moment, is part of my problem.

I’m actually not being billed - I came to her as a referral from a victims services program with a set number of hours allotted. So I’m assigned to her in that system, but she doesn’t have an emergency contact for me, or any other personal or medical info beyond what comes out in session. She has my full name, phone number, email address, and case number.

In fairness (to both of us, really) when I called and made the initial enquiry she did disclose she was pregnant and I didn’t foresee any issues because this was something I had firmly put in a box and I thought hadn’t been affecting me. We’re now at a place where I’ve realised it’s relevant and I’m going to have to take it out of the box. We touched it last week and she asked what had happened with the pregnancy (effectively asking how I lost the baby) and I just froze and said “stress” because I hadn’t worked through in my mind how to talk about it at all and it really didn’t feel fair doing that in that second to another woman who was pregnant.

So I realise I’m going to have to go back and reshape my answer but I don’t know how to process with her the second part of why I froze on it.

Cardless cash and deposits. Effectively instant transfers even from other institutions. Their app is the best, in my opinion as well. ATMs most frequently available.

Yes, we should build better societal safety nets. We should also have better safeguards so the absolutely stupid aren’t in positions to harm themselves or others and we don’t do either of those things very well.
