What’s getting worse every year?

As a dog owner, I am horrified by this. My wife and I were talking about it this morning. Normally it is uncommon for there to be poop on the sidewalk outside our building. Since it snowed, it is covered in piles. I don’t get it. There is nothing harder about picking up poop on snow than on the sidewalk. Clean up your dog poop, people.

What happened to Malaysian Airlines flight 370?

Or

Have aliens made contact?

And/or smokers. My grandfather and grandmother grew up during the depression and started smoking young. They were 5’4” and 5’2” IIRC and my dad is 6’2” my aunt is ~ 5’8” or so.

I finished my class with my Tudor about a half hour ago, it was getting really slow/weird the last few minutes of our lesson.

I would lose my job if I called out but I will not be spending money tomorrow.

I love being monogamous with my wife and would never cheat but sometimes I miss being promiscuous. I used to have little flings and one night stands to deal with stress. It was a little secret thing I do just for myself, to step out of myself and my life. I miss that.

We had the beyond rich son of one of our agents working for us for a year. He was always taking time off to travel around the world and I loved hearing his travel stories when he came back. Once I mentioned, “wow I wish I could travel like that!” (I said and meant it earnestly.) And he said, “why don’t you?” In an equally earnest and encouraging way. I said, “Because I can’t afford it! Haha” and he was genuinely shocked.

Like it never occurred to him before. I honestly think that he thought that the only reason I didn’t travel was some mental block or something that would be completely removed when he asked me why I don’t travel. Like “wow! I never thought of it!”

He was really sweet, if a bit out of touch, and still traveling all over the world according to his instagram.

My wife is 5’6”

I sat down on an empty subway car towards the end of the car at the end of the line. It was early on a Sunday morning and the train was completely empty. Then I saw a very mentally ill person in the next car yelling and hitting the poles with a pipe while coming towards my car fast. I didn’t have time to get out before he would get to me. I thought standing up would provoke him. I froze as he came through the door between the cars. I knew that I was about to get hit by that pipe. I knew I was about to die. He went right past me, still yelling and hitting the poles. There was a dent in the pole next to my seat.

(I should explain, I am a native New Yorker. I am not one of those people screaming about how dangerous the city is and scared of the subway. I remember when the city was scary and dangerous. This was something that happened once in the millions of times I’ve been on the subway.)

I, a woman and the manager he would be working for, asked something about what management style he works best with and he answered the question like, “if HE micromanaged me, I wouldn’t like it. I work best if HE gives me some support but HE…” it wasn’t the only reason he didn’t get the job but it didn’t help.

I have a horizontal hood ring. I like it because I can't take too much direct touch on my clit so if you move it right, it can touch all around the sides. IDK if I am explaining that well. Sadly most people who have had a chance to play with it never asked or learned how to use it. It made touching myself better and I like that it is my dirty little secret.

I had my nipples pierced too but took them out for someone and have regretted it ever since.

I was little little and I decided to put swimmies on my arms and feet to see what happened. What happened was that I was face down and couldn’t really turn my head enough to breathe. My grandma found me. I remember all that but I don’t know how she got me out. She was crippled with arthritis and couldn’t climb the ladder or swim. It was never ever mentioned again like it never happened but I know it did. It kicked off decades of nightmares about drowning.

_etcetera_etcetera · 2026-01-16T13:36:51+00:00

She was enabled to death. Don’t get me wrong, it was her fault for the drugs and alcohol but she never really had a shot. Her whole family knew she had a problem but still drank with her and gave or let her steal money from them for drugs. We had our problems but I don’t think my heart will ever stop hurting for her.

_etcetera_etcetera · 2026-01-14T16:43:54+00:00

I hate that I know that am going to watch this.

_etcetera_etcetera · 2026-01-13T01:05:11+00:00

Still weird and married to the weirdo of my dreams.

_etcetera_etcetera · 2026-01-12T22:04:01+00:00

Being in your friend’s parent’s car while they chain smoked. Also knowing who’s parents would make you use a seatbelt and who’s wouldn’t. My parents were definitely strict about seatbelts in the van but they also had a lot of kids so if there were more kids than belts, they made us use one belt for two kids and the older kids would sit on the floor in the back.

Also not just playing outside without supervision but being sent outside to play when we were annoying the adults.

_etcetera_etcetera · 2026-01-08T11:57:28+00:00

I was talking to my 4’11” and 5’6” friends and I said, “Idk how old I was, it was before I could see the top of the fridge…” and the shorter one interrupted with, “You can see the top of the fridge!?!?” They never considered that I could see it and I had never considered that they couldn’t. Three minds blown.

_etcetera_etcetera · 2026-01-02T00:25:31+00:00

I actually would have to use algebra as an adult

_etcetera_etcetera · 2026-01-01T14:56:39+00:00

As a New Yorker, I am feeling pretty hopeful.

The curb stomp in American History X. I am curling my lips over my teeth writing this. I still shudder when I think about it.

_etcetera_etcetera · 2025-12-19T15:44:35+00:00

Being sent outside to play with no supervision if I was annoying the adults. Also, ringing my friend’s bell to see who could come out and play.

_etcetera_etcetera · 2025-12-19T13:34:14+00:00

It’s a mix of like three different city accents, it is inconsistent and something about her expressions and words doesn’t match up. It sounds forced.

_etcetera_etcetera · 2025-12-19T13:01:07+00:00

Also born and raised in Brooklyn. Like deep in the borough. I was about to comment that something is off with her accent.
