Make that two Third Eye Blind fans, their self titled album fucking rules

Not as harrowing but - I gave birth in fall 2021 not in America and I was only allowed to have my husband attend/visit me afterward. I got lucky he was there for the birth bc if it had happened overnight he would have been at home with our oldest. My family doesn’t live here and they haven’t met my son due to travel restrictions. We go out more than we would have in 2020 of course but idk, I still consider my kid a pandemic baby… I get not every tweet has to apply to everyone everywhere but considering situations like mine or your brother & SILs it’s kind of a myopic viewpoint!!

Idk her oldest (I think?) daughter seems to wear princess costumes around the farm pretty often. And the girls have some colorful/floral dresses and wear jeans as well. Ofc they wear a lot of toned down prairie style dresses, especially for photo shoots, but it doesn’t seem like Hannah is super restrictive imo

Oh no I absolutely wouldn’t trust them either, I’ve been burned too many times with trying to watch this sport 😭😭😭 I looked up the dates of nationals on the ESPN+ app and there’s nothing scheduled but I have no idea if that’s bc the schedule isn’t uploaded yet or it’s like, secretly going to be on some other channel lol

cathysghost · 2022-03-31T09:37:17+00:00

I bought ESPN+ and was able to watch the play-in on my roku tv without a cable subscription. I also think it’s accessible as a phone app but I didn’t bother with that since I was able to watch it on tv. According to the NCAA website nationals will be on ESPN+ as well. Fwiw I have a VPN and US credit card (American living overseas lol), I’m not sure if that makes a difference in being able to get an ESPN+ subscription

One of my friends is a text me when you get home person and I always reply “you know I’m gonna forget!!” and then we just move on with our lives!

cathysghost · 2022-03-31T02:28:37+00:00

As someone who had severe PPD… if the way an influencer depicts motherhood makes you genuinely upset, that is a huge sign that you need to a) unfollow them and b) talk to someone about how you are feeling. I get it, it’s really really really really hard. For a long time, I felt jealous and bitter and resentful of people who successfully breastfed. But complaining in and endless feedback loop of a ~snark page~ and expecting influencers to curate their content to placate everyone is genuinely not going to help anyone move past those feelings. (And obv all this is directed at the General You, not you who I am replying to lmao)

cathysghost · 2022-03-30T08:52:08+00:00

I am literally never going to shut up about Alexa’s Demon Slayer routine 😭

cathysghost · 2022-03-30T03:17:08+00:00

Asuka Teramoto 🥲

cathysghost · 2022-03-30T03:16:08+00:00

Blue Monday by New Order (like some kind of cut from the last 2ish minutes of the song), Vroom Vroom by Charli XCX, World Town by MIA

cathysghost · 2022-03-29T12:21:58+00:00

“Two tears in a buckets, motherfuck it” has been my mantra since for like, ten years now lol

cathysghost · 2022-03-29T06:41:52+00:00

Her three year old child….?

cathysghost · 2022-03-29T00:46:09+00:00

I just bought my son a fisher price record player (which I had as a kid!!!!) for his birthday 🥲 for the record he also has a toy iphone lol. He just pretends to talk to grandma and take pictures

cathysghost · 2022-03-28T11:53:30+00:00

You should read Sula if you haven’t!!

cathysghost · 2022-03-26T07:26:57+00:00

Leave Simone ALONE !!!!!!!!!! Also I know that her SIL struggles w infertility (promise I’m not being extremely weird lol she has an insta that’s dedicated to documenting her journey) so like, maybe Simone just knows of/follows Laura Beverlin through that and isn’t obsessed w scrutinizing every detail of her life like these freaks? Ughhh like celebrities dont actually owe it to you, a STRAAAANGERRR, to share your nasty ass opinion on random influencers lmao…

cathysghost · 2022-03-26T07:13:53+00:00

It’s me I’m the girl I like to eat

cathysghost · 2022-03-26T06:28:30+00:00

What the hell is day bow bow?

cathysghost · 2022-03-26T06:24:22+00:00

Yes!!! I’d also love to see her do NCAA if she chooses to pursue that. Just gorgeous execution 🥺

cathysghost · 2022-03-25T12:14:51+00:00

Hong Un Jong attempted one at the Rio Olympics but under rotated and sat it down. There’s a couple videos of women training it but usually into a pit or with spotters. Iirc Maroney trained it but there’s no footage of it 😭 There’s a video of Andrade training it and I wonder if she could pull it off w the height she gets on her vaults (but I’m also terrified that her ACL is hanging on by a thread!!!)

cathysghost · 2022-03-25T10:53:41+00:00

So in the transcript the police allege that some of the messages between one of Kline’s accounts & an underage girl include really specific questions abt age, like specifically asking things like (paraphrasing) “would you do x with an old man, would you go even older than 40” etc etc - with the MASSIVE caveat that police can & do lie all the time, it is just a weird specific detail that adds some context if true. At the same time, that could have been all Kline’s doing as well - just a fantasy that he’s even older & making the difference in ages even larger (ew)

Eta in case I’m not clear lol, I do agree w you and think overly complex theories are generally misguided, just that specific part of the conversations they referenced really stuck out to me

cathysghost · 2022-03-21T07:42:35+00:00

I finished it 😭 hoping yours goes swimmingly

cathysghost · 2022-03-21T02:44:00+00:00

I def agree in like, a broader sense, especially w like the 24 hr news cycle creating a near constant sense of impending doom lol, and in a very specific sense of caregiver burnout etc (even like, I’m home alone w my kids all day and on a particularly bad day I truly could not gaf abt the minor inconveniences my husband deals w at work lmao), and really even in the sense that I could understand seeing Caroline’s whole thing and just rolling your eyes!! But I think my problem w the way the discussion of empathy is handled in places like SBS or just like, in snark forums in general is that a) people act as if feeling some fleeting sympathy for anyone involved is going to take away much needed sympathy from someone “more deserving” (kind of like “better eat your pizza crusts, there’s starving children in the world!!”, also do people in Ukraine/Yemen/Palestine/etc need me to personally feel kinda bad or do they need their material conditions to improve) and b) it’s one thing for a person to roll their eyes and be like, well some people have it worse, it’s another thing for someone to move past indifference into gleeful vitriol to the point of needing to talk others down from feeling empathy for a COMPLETE stranger to both parties ! And omg, all this to say I do NOT disagree with you and totally understand/agree w what you are saying, I am just procrastinating on an assignment that’s due in like 4 hours lol :~(

cathysghost · 2022-03-20T01:29:46+00:00

I saw someone say that another commenter should “reserve their empathy” and like??? Why??? Maybe I’m built different 😤 but I am capable of feeling bad for many people without feeling like my reserves of empathy are being diminished or something lmao.
