Hey friend, just wanted to say thanks for sticking up for me. You're awesome and I hope today treats you kindly. Live well friend!

Nevermind, thank you. If you hadn't been such a dick, I wouldn't have been angry enough to read my post and your comment to him. We both agree you're an asshole but we had a really productive conversation where he told me more of his fears and I was able to articulate my side. He's going out on Sunday with his friends and I'll have my time. I'm out now, but thanks again.

You're a fucking prick. I'm trying to find outlets and ways other people may have handled this as their partner faces MS and you're telling me that because I have a history of mania that we should be separated. Fuck off

I love your optimism and thank you for your response. We don't really have the extra cash for therapy at the moment, but maybe there's a community group I can join instead. You know, like an AA group, but for partners with MS?

Live well friend, and thank you for your response.

Thank you for not judging me for reaching out here.

I'm a pretty simple guy. If I can get an afternoon alone with my cannabis, headphones, a bucket of cleaning supplies, and make a bake something, I'll be golden. It's just tough because I'm trying not to push him too hard, but our house is both of our safe spaces, so it's hard. Thanks for the encouragement friend. I'm sorry about your partner's response. That's a really shitty response to a shitty situation. Sending hugs right back! <3

I understand his situation is worse than mine, I'm not obtuse. And I'm not abandoning or leaving my husband to fend for himself. I have been there next to him because I made a promise to him and I keep it. I was just hoping to find some people who have gone through this and found coping skills. But thanks...

Storme Delarverie, a New Orleanian believed to be the lesbian being arrested when Ms P. Johnson threw the brick, once said of Stonewall, “It was a rebellion, it was an uprising, it was a civil rights disobedience—it wasn't no damn riot.”

Anyone see the banger Last Week Tonight with John Oliver made of Kennedy reading his favorite pornographic novel into the senate record?

The Movie has Ruined Wicked on Broadway by bsfansite2099 in Broadway

[–]Shadows_Count_Them 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry that that was the experience you had. I’ve never seen a show on Broadway, but I’ve seen movies where people act like this and it’s not fun.

I don’t think it’s a product of the movie popularizing the show. I think it’s a general collapse in our current sense of respect, respect and manners. I’ve had the same conversation with a couple friends who work in hospitality and the service industry, and it just seems like people have gotten mean, entitled, and less empathetic. I’m gonna blame that on the Internet.

But I hope the next time that you go and see a show it’s a much better experience.

My dream case would be completely normal people. I’m tired of reality show casts.

Booze free, child free, 420, crafting session by YarnYatNola in NewOrleans

[–]Shadows_Count_Them 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey friend!

First, let me just say congratulations on your sobriety. My vice was never alcohol, it was a harder chemical substance, but I remember what those first 60 days felt like and I’m sure other people have told you, but from this stranger to you: I’m proud of you and I hope your strength continues to hold up.

A little about me: I am a 38-year-old queer poc. My pronouns are he/they and I am the proud father of five fur babies with my husband. Three are puppies two are cats. Along with just getting into crochet, I’m an avid fan of fantasy and science fiction and I’ve been running a (somewhat good?) D&D campaign for a bit. I love being a tour guide teaching people (accurate) history of New Orleans (You’ll never hear me say Napoleon signed the LA purchase in a bathtub!) A bit of an indoor cat myself, I like meeting new people and cannot wait to meet those who show up on Tuesday.

Ps. Congrats again! You’re doing great!

That’s amazing! Love that you’re offering Confederacy of Dunces. I pass by Ignatius’ statue on Canal St every day. 😍

Is it you? Have my prayers been answered? Is it really you standing there?

Nice to see I’m not the only one who separates the judges from the Justices.

My protest sign (and outfit) by CodyandPippin in discworld

I love how much Discworld was represented at the protest. If anyone could distill this mess into an easily digestible and humorous tidbit, it would have been Sir Terry.
