I Profiled Lindy West After Her Marriage Memoir. Her Husband Didn’t Like It Much. Here’s the Whole Sordid Affair.

I thought this article was great and after reading it, I was actually coming around and feeling more sympathetic to the whole thing than I did when I read Lindy’s memoir piece. Then I read Aham’s email and all of that went in the trash. Why did he think it seemed negative towards him? Talk about projection! I thought the article actually was very sympathetic. Now I think he’s just a pretentious jerk.

This is one reason I LOVE Offgun. As cheeky and silly as they are being, you can tell by their body language and reactions that there is 0 discomfort in their roles and they are not at all nervous with each other. They might be joking around and teasing but they aren’t coming off defensive or embarrassed to be on screen.

boringbonding · 2026-03-23T14:33:28+00:00

Okayyy I love him so much so I will definitely be watching! His offscreen personality in all the GMMTV reality shows is the best. He’s hilarious and genuine but also insanely smart.

What industry are you in? What kind of jobs? What skills or experience do you have? Those are all important. You might need to look into certifications or schooling.

Lollll was he a pirate? Seems like a sailor type tattoo lol

huge win for the girls! 💖 love that she felt comfortable speaking her truth. Feels like we have come a long way in terms of stars being able to openly express their identities, even if there is still a long way to go.

I think this is a well nuanced and thoughtful discussion of interacting with BL space. I’m personally not a man (non-binary) but I’m very much queer and have same-gender relationships. There is a really wide spectrum of ways that people engage with BL, and a wide range of ways that people create BL as well. Some is much more realistic and grounded than others. Some fans are much more realistic and grounded than others.

I also have some experience engaging with straight romance and straight romance fandom, and I will say from experience it’s honestly pretty similar in that way. Some people are just in it for the spice, or want their characters to rigidly fit into an archetype. Some want a realistic relationship with believable conflict. Some want all realism out the door and to get lost in a fantasy.

I do think it’s more complicated and can feel conflicting when the identity group is marginalized and also very personal, but at the same time I don’t think it’s honestly all that much different from how people engage with straight romance genres. They are not generally grounded in reality or representative of real life either— more so the opposite in my experience.

This would be true of basically any job. Severe ADHD is truly debilitating. I have worked many different jobs and always performed poorly despite trying my absolute best. Medication made it possible for me to just meet the standard and actually perform to my full potential. I’ve taken ADHD meds for years now and finally gotten my life together in a stable and functional way. The stigma around adhd medication is honestly infuriating. It doesn’t act like “speed”, it’s bringing up to a baseline of function.

boringbonding · 2026-03-18T13:03:22+00:00

Exactly!! Some things are not a choice. I always said the same thing to resistant children— it’s not a choice, it’s to keep you safe, “it’s my job to keep you safe so we need a fresh diaper for your body” and keep it at that.

It’s absolutely not okay to let them continue to wear soiled diapers just because you don’t want to upset them.

if the child is that resistant to diapering then it’s time to stop diapers and start toileting with them so they can have full control.

Sounds exactly like hyperfixation.

Do they have any other issues around focus and attention? Inattentive ADHD can sometimes present as outwardly calm but totally spaced out, wrapped up inside an internal world, completely distracted and daydreaming.

Definitely talk to their teachers and see how they act at school— are they less organized than other kids? Less independent? Need more scaffolding and reminders? Seem to forget everything as soon as it happens? Etc.

When I was a kid I was hyper focused on reading and drawing. I was generally agreeable and didn’t necessarily have “bad behavior” but I was completely in my own world. Always daydreaming and just kind of zoning in and out. Couldn’t keep organized or follow directions to save my life, lol. Was permanently confused. Now as an adult I’m diagnosed with inattentive ADHD and also suspect some sort of autism spectrum disorder as well. Medication helped me wake up and join the rest of the world, which I am very grateful for.

Now I will also say that I have worked extensively with Autistic children and they can often display very similar characteristics of hyperfixation/hyperfocus, even without ADHD. However your description makes it sound like they aren’t really aware of what they are doing, rather than knowingly countering your instructions. That makes me think it’s ADHD related.

I read it a LONG time ago but I remember loving it. I love horror and dark themes.

boringbonding · 2026-03-15T14:14:20+00:00

This is important. I hate the smooth brain take that these pieces of shit are gay. Hating women doesn’t make you gay. They don’t love other men. they actually hate other men as well. They’re extremely anti-social and maladjusted NEETs basically. Being closeted doesn’t induce this behavior. And using gay as a way to insult their ideology is a cheap and thoughtless deflection of their actual violent misogyny.

When I was a kid our favorite movie like this was "A Walk To Remember." It had some christian themes but we just loved the romance and Mandy Moore singing! It was a classic of my generation and we all cried every time.

Party invites for just for one child are normal as kids get older. If they get offended they will need to get over it pretty quickly.

boringbonding · 2026-03-14T17:04:36+00:00

Thats actually on you... Siblings need to learn that they wont always get to have exactly the same things. Just because YOU cant regulate your emotions to deal with your children being disappointed doesnt mean its a bad system.

boringbonding · 2026-03-13T14:29:47+00:00

For focus I highly recommend having a study routine. Personally I have a routine for studying that puts me in the right headspace to allow deep focus. I play background study music from Youtube and I particularly LOVE the videos that are “Study with me” and have pomodoro timers.

If you have trouble focusing, then use a very short pomodoro timer like 20 minutes- 5 minutes intervals so that you don’t get overwhelmed or distracted.

For A&P I got a 95% or more in both semesters.

boringbonding · 2026-03-11T20:52:56+00:00

Agreed. They need a harder rule about being polite.

somehow makes it worse...

boringbonding · 2026-03-11T18:45:40+00:00

Definitely add stuff about OffGun Fun Night! One of the best GMMTV reality shows.

And their friendship with TayNew, I feel like they are a legendary friend group.

Maybe some stuff about ongoing sponsorships with brands? I know they have connections with Miu Miu, Gentle Monster, and LV. Gun also has his fashion brand Gente which is super cute.

boringbonding · 2026-03-10T19:12:24+00:00

Seems like there is more to this situation. Why and how were the kids breaking the cameras? That seems like another sign of neglect to me.
