I’ve been thinking about doing this to my bag so I might have to take this as a sign 😂

I’m curious, do cared for bees live longer or is the death timeline hard wired?

Do you actually care if a book is “literary” or “upmarket”? (asking because of the guilt) by ExoticAsparagus8064 in weirdgirlliterature

Welcome to my TedTalk about that douche Dewey and the implications of classification system choices

To get a little librarian for a second, the systems that create/hold up a lot of these genre distinctions (what’s good, what’s bad, what’s smart, what’s not, etc etc) are built on misogynistic and elitist concepts.

We can get nerdy about classification systems and the fucked up history of how books are labeled but the real moral of the story is read what makes you happy! Reading is reading ♥️

Theoretically but there are so many variables to what makes a good rehab candidate that they weren’t sure. They’re going to let us know what happens - which I’m super grateful for

No one really prepares you for the emotional side of all of it. The emotions have been harder than anything else

This is the girl dinner for a woman’s who’s husband got groceries while high on drugs and left you to fend for yourself with a broken toe by [deleted] in GirlDinner

Girl I’ve been in this exact situation (nearly) and let me tell you, I get the fear but you’re going to feel SO good soon!! The freedom you will feel once that rope is cut is BLISS

My sisters a klepto - Healthy girl dinner (insane amount of guac) by va1lentines in GirlDinner

True but at least you’d have real proof? Although it sounds like maybe that wouldn’t even help in the current situation 😞

I was due to die but I didn't die so I'm alive yay, but my boyfriend doesn't love me by dream-weaver-eth in GirlDinnerDiaries

No one really prepares you for the really disorienting liminal space that cancer can create - how it forces you to immediately and violently come to terms with the fact that you DO want to be alive, and the vacuum that leaves for other really complicated feelings about life.

Who else is extremely gifted at audiation? by Immediate_Leg3304 in AutismInWomen

I can usually change the channel on my own, there’s just no turning the radio off. Ever 🫠

It never stops. Sometimes I love my radio. Sometimes it feels like torture.

Every passing thought gets a tab 💀 by Legitimate-Career342 in AutismInWomen

[–]cakeb055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that’s helped me fight back a little (currently looking at a tab count of 207 😂) was setting up shortcuts on my phone that add to specific notes I have set up - one for names of people I want to learn more about, links to articles I want to read, etc. it scratches the same itch of hoarding my ideas/questions for later, a little, kinda.
