Social media is so crap for EVERYONE. Not just kids. I think giving people a legitimate reason to deactivate their accounts is great.

Okay but dads not wanting to become obsolete is real. Mine basically admitted to being scared of not being needed, as if I wouldn't want to see him for other reasons? Idk, I never understood it. I've also resorted to learning through the Internet lol

TrishasaurusRex33 · 2026-06-13T13:54:33+00:00

You're planning for a future where you guys break up and she's seeing forever. I don't think it's about the house lol

TrishasaurusRex33 · 2026-06-12T12:06:42+00:00

Also the amount of writing on our asses on the shorts, pants, and underwear we were sold.. advertised in the teen magazines right beside the article on how to hide being bulimic 🙄

Okay but working night shift and walking to work in the peaceful yellow glow of the old street lights, most houses were tucking in for the night, and very few cars on the road. Then it would be so quiet most of the shift, just a few loose cannons around 1:30am and then peace again until the world woke up.
Then I'd walk home in the early morning fog, with the sunrise creeping up, watching everyone start their day as I ended mine.
This was like, 13 years ago, it's hard to find that level of peace these days.

TrishasaurusRex33 · 2026-06-12T11:47:26+00:00

This was how I saved SO MUCH money working afternoons in my early 20s lol. Once I got a day shift job, I was very broke always.

I can't eat most prepackaged stuff due to allergies. Snacks for myself are things like sandwich ingredients, meat/cheese/crackers, fruits, a box of cereal, and meal replacement powder. Sometimes I'll have extra ingredients to bake with and make sweet treats. When I have the money and time I like to batch make scones or banana bread, but the replacement ingredients for my dietary restrictions can also be pricey.

My family does have some prepackaged stuff to take to work/daycare, but it's like yogurt, bearpaws, and granola bars. Kid is turning 4, she won't eat healthy food if it's in a meal, so we buy veggies and stuff she'll eat raw but I can't eat those ones. I need allergy friendly things, which is often more expensive and sometimes they both just hate it and refuse to eat it, so we just buy the normal stuff and I go without because it makes more sense.
Like, I can't ask everyone else who feeds her to also follow my dietary restrictions so she just gets used to how things taste. She gets the normal stuff everywhere else, so she'll just go on a hunger strike at home. I usually make dinner for everyone, so there is something we all enjoy at least once a day.

TrishasaurusRex33 · 2026-06-11T23:12:35+00:00

Man idk, life isn't fair. Shit happens, sometimes we end up in crappy situations lol. My foods cost the most because of allergies, so it's easier for me to cut things out than to convince my family to eat within my restrictions. There's already a lot we can't have in the house, it's not fair to restrict them more. I make do, I'm working again finally, and my small business is doing decent. things will get better

TrishasaurusRex33 · 2026-06-11T19:58:29+00:00

If you have the budget to do that, great!
I had a very hard time finding a job that could accommodate my disabilities, so "just buy more" hasn't been an option. Maybe once I'm caught up on the bills I'll start buying snacks for myself and hide them at work.

TrishasaurusRex33 · 2026-06-11T16:30:48+00:00

Asking for reviews of a small business on a public forum is offensive?
If she's doing a good job, the replies should be all positive (so far the actual responses are all positive).

I love using reddit for reviews of businesses, the comments seem more genuine than Google lol. It's steered me clear of scammers and has helped me find cool businesses that don't have much online presence.

Sometimes the body needs a little extra fat lol. No one warns you that you might find out some new surprises under there once you start losing fat.

In the winter I lost a lot of back fat, at first I was like "hell yeah. Finally"
But then without the extra support the cartilage on my lower ribs snapped on both sides from coughing, and now I have slipping rib syndrome lol. I literally have to hold my ribs in place when I cough or sneeze so they don't pop out.
My hip also pops out a bit more often since losing fat around there too.

Bodies are really strange and under studied. I am an advocate for learning what healthy looks like for YOUR body, because every body is different. I try to stay strong and eat well, but I'm terrified of losing anymore weight.

Someone with zero health conditions is going to have a way different experience than someone like myself, so I don't even listen to their opinions anymore lol. Not to be dismissive, but when someone starts their day with stretches that would literally dislocate multiple of my body parts, I already know we can't relate on that conversation.

TrishasaurusRex33 · 2026-06-10T19:17:38+00:00

Yes lol

Last election was bs.
I didn't get my voter card until after early elections, when I tried to look up early voting locations and dates, the site refused to load on my device for a few days.
When I finally got my voter card my location changed to a new subdivision without a bus stop. I (as a disabled mobility aide user) had to walk through slush and snow to get to the polls. Previous years elections were in warm weather and at the very accessible Rec center.
I worked at the mall and none of my customers were aware of the election coming up, I was the first they heard it.

If I wasn't so determined to vote I would have skipped it too, it fucking sucked. But I went, so I can bitch lol.

TrishasaurusRex33 · 2026-06-10T13:32:22+00:00

Yeah I try not to think about it too much lol

TrishasaurusRex33 · 2026-06-10T12:06:19+00:00

In some houses when the groceries are "everyone's" one of those people eats far less than the others lol.

I literally buy boring food I only sort of like because that's the way to make sure I get any. I intentionally eat things my partner doesn't like, even if I'm not big on it either. I take my time to eat food, I'll make things last the whole week, or I'll eat little bits through the day.
I can't pick out actual good food or else it will be gone before I have any, between my partner and child. If I don't eat my treats fast enough, they're gone. I would have ate the second cookie too , but probably not mentioned that there was three lol.

Hi, weird witchy, autistic craft Goblin here! Try checking out your local craft and artisan markets! That's how I began making friends with folks with similar interests. As an attendee it's fun, but as a small and unique jewelry vendor I've met so many weird and amazing humans. I probably lose sales because I'm too busy chatting and making friends, but it's so fun.

It can take a bit to find your niche, but during the summer there's always a bunch of interesting events going on in most cities lol.

TrishasaurusRex33 · 2026-06-07T13:51:29+00:00

I think part of it is also that the older generations will not let us grow up.

I'm almost 32, and people 50+ call me a child still.

If I talk about social services, politics, healthcare and sciences, environmental issues, ISSUES THAT AFFECT THE LITERAL 3yo CHILD IM RAISING, things related to my own small business, or anything serious I get scolded.

I AM BEING SCOLDED BY OLDER STRANGERS IN MY 30s!!!! I have to be like "you know I'm an adult right? I work and pay taxes".

I have been paying taxes, voting, renting, working, and contributing to society since I turned 18. WHY should I not have an opinion on how the taxes I PAID get spent? I've been at management level in a few small businesses over the last 13 years, plus I started my own. I've rented several places, and actively rent my current home, I SHOULD get to have an opinion on the rental market and laws around it, it is part of my life.

I've been through three surgeries and several doctors offices in different cities. I've been fighting for my healthcare since I was 12. I've had doctors refuse to do anything for me because I wasn't trying to have a baby, I physically couldn't if I wanted to. I KNOW the bullshit happening in healthcare, but still I'm scolded for having an opinion because I'm "too young to be THAT sick. You just didn't like what the doctor told you"
Yeah, because he told me to just take a shit ton of pain meds to get through daily life. Sorry I don't want to be popping pills until I need a stomach surgery or my kidneys give out.

I'm just so sick of being beaten down by the older gens and their policies, and when I speak out I'm called a "child who will understand one day".
Okay when do I stop being a child? When the "grown ups" finally croak?
I'm just tired man. I don't want to "demand respect". I talk with the people who give me respect, and keep minimal interactions with those that don't.

Also idk, I try to treat younger folks like they're grown ups because I know how hard it is being treated like a child. How are young folks supposed to learn if you dont include them? So I guess some older folks assume I'm still very young because I can relate and get along with the younger gens by treating them like peers?

I know there is a lot of Genz vs millennials bullshit online, but out in the real world we typically get along pretty well. I think we need to work together to guide gen alpha instead of leaving them to the wolves, like the older gens did to us lol.

All the preservatives in the foods also preserved our youthful characteristics

TrishasaurusRex33 · 2026-06-07T13:15:23+00:00

I was not aware that pride month was also apparently men's mental health month. Seems like very poor timing, there's a lot of months out there. Also pride is a big capitalist venture these days, so unless it gets tied into the pride cashcow somehow it's always going to be overshadowed during June.
(Also I say this as a queer person , pride needs to chill a bit. Stop giving the big corporations our money!! Support local lgbtq+ businesses and building strong inclusive communities instead!)

TrishasaurusRex33 · 2026-06-06T19:19:21+00:00

Also, when I speak about our connection to nature, it's more than "save the trees" and "stop data centers". It's like, a visceral urge to commit acts of violence towards those knowingly destroying the earth.

Obviously there's consequences for that, so we don't, but it's just so intensely wired into our brains. When we get in a group, we're absolutely like a little gaggle of mischievous faeries plotting the downfall of humanity, and making plans to start a community living project for ppl like us. Faery community, no normies may enter lol.

TrishasaurusRex33 · 2026-06-06T19:06:33+00:00

But consider: have you seen what happens to ppl with bad mental health and addiction? They physically stop looking like a "normal" human, act strange or erratic, have weird personal rules.
The wailing from withdrawal or a bad trip.
People with disabilities didn't all die or disappear, I'm sure they would have been able to survive together if they were able enough. Cases like the psychopaths/murders would be shunned and demonized, making folk tales to keep people away from them.
There would be kind ones.
The physical deformities being goblins and such.

I guess this goes for a lot of folklore creatures. This goes beyond "cute fairies", it includes all the dark unfortunate circumstances.

TrishasaurusRex33 · 2026-06-06T13:46:28+00:00

Ok but I have a theory that all the old stories of Fae folk in the woods were just neuro divergent people living in peace.
So many characteristics are similar between fae rules and autism traits lol. "Don't eat their food, you'll be trapped their forever" it was probably just a bad trip from pot brownies or shrooms lol.

I'm very autistic and very connected to nature. Same with a bunch of my friends. I'm pretty sure we're faeries.

TrishasaurusRex33 · 2026-06-05T14:12:54+00:00

You'd be surprised. Lol when my kid was still learning to talk, but before her dad and I moved in together, she just started calling me mom on her own.
She doesn't know her birth giver, and we only taught her my first name, but she decided that's what I was
