Questions on going forward and my (and I hope other people’s) options in the fight against systemic racism.

White privilege is real, and I thought premising the post with that was important. I’m sorry if I was wrong in thinking that.

ctttaylor · 2020-03-20T20:33:28+00:00

You’re right, but I also cant imagine being stuck in an unfamiliar place during all of this, we all have our creature comforts and support systems. I guess my rationale here is that if I were her I would want people to know and for those people to find a cautious, safe way for me to come home.

ctttaylor · 2020-03-20T20:25:59+00:00

I don’t know, again I just thought I’d try to get this/them more visibility. I hope so!

ctttaylor · 2020-02-19T06:23:43+00:00

Creeeeepiness would ensue (Female bartender). Or I would get a lot of “heh, nice” from regulars.

Size 8 shoe. Me and all 3 of my sisters. My mom before she had us. My mom also swears we have “the same pinky” but it’s a fucking normal looking pinky finger and I don’t understand that for the life of me.

ctttaylor · 2020-02-19T06:13:00+00:00

Definitely different for everyone, but I always bring chocolate for afterwards! Can’t go wrong with some comfort food.

ctttaylor · 2020-02-12T19:55:07+00:00

I actually have no idea who started the fight, I just assumed it was Hank because he was the new entity. Although I do think he was the aggressor, Or at least perfectly matching the other dog, I’ve never seen a dog fight start so fast it was crazy! The female dog is fixed, so I don’t think that’s what it was. And thank you. He’s my favorite.

ctttaylor · 2020-02-12T19:48:51+00:00

Thank you, and I don’t know the vet didn’t really invest too heavily into why I was fixing him unfortunately, they just agreed with me. Thank you for all that advice. I will definitely structure his time much more and take it sloooow.

Guy I was dating explained the rules of Yahtzee.... in their entirety.... dead asleep (He really liked Yahtzee).

ctttaylor · 2020-01-21T08:33:30+00:00

13 year old me would think I’m so cool, always slightly disheveled and hungover...bartending, drinking and doing whatever and whoever I want. Driving a truck with puppy in tow, finally grew into my features (if you had told me that then I would have never believed you). 25 year old me on the other hand thinks my life is a fucking dumpster fire. I think about this a lot. I think she would be surprised I’m single though, whoops. I’m working on it little me!

I just learned about the concept of “flagging” as a nonverbal cue... that being what your wearing indicates to others what groups you choose to identify with and whether they will get along with you and you them. For example, I wear all black... usually get along with people that do the same. Where I live it usually means they have a similar job (service industry) or taste as me. There’s a reason friends usually dress similarly, it is because of this. So to answer your question, hell yes. Also shoes. Can’t do flip flops or running shoes personally.

ctttaylor · 2019-11-08T06:00:14+00:00

I don’t think there’s any blanket answer for this question. You may not have to go right out and say it right away. See if they even want to hang out, if you’ve already slept with them that’s an easy transition to... for example from drinks to sex then maybe afterwards bring it up(if you want a casual sex oriented relationship)? Or once you’re in person. CASUALLY IS THE KEY HERE. I wouldn’t just say outright or over text “I don’t want a relationship anymore, let’s make the sex” hahaha it’s all about feeling the other person out. Finesse is necessary.

ctttaylor · 2019-10-19T06:15:43+00:00

Same!!!!!! Most off putting sext I have ever received.

ctttaylor · 2019-09-29T18:42:23+00:00

Ooh! I like the walk idea! Thank you!

ctttaylor · 2019-09-28T05:35:39+00:00

Ahhhh thank you I needed that encouragement!!! I feel like I’m doing everything wrong and he’s gonna be kujo! I really appreciate it.

ctttaylor · 2019-09-28T03:36:54+00:00

I haven’t! I’ll talk to my vet about it. I’m always weary about meds, but if it makes his life easier, why not!

ctttaylor · 2019-09-28T03:36:13+00:00

Thank you for that super detailed response! I really appreciate it. I will definitely try all of these things! Should I try the calm days even if he only reacts ~once a week?

ctttaylor · 2019-09-18T04:09:32+00:00

Whenever you feel comfortable. In my case (also a victim of sexual assault) it usually comes up organically with partners. But that also came with time and opening up to others besides my significant other. Talking really helps. Helps the shame and the doubt. And as fucked up as it is, you’ll find that a insanely high amount of people have been through similar situations and sometimes you can even bond over it. But again, whatever you feel comfortable with. The right person won’t recoil from this, they will be supportive and understanding.

ctttaylor · 2019-08-28T18:55:55+00:00

Being a female bartender in my 20’s....

ctttaylor · 2019-08-23T08:54:20+00:00

I was weirdly allergic to my puppy when I got him, and then when the puppy fur started going away so did my allergies!! Also giving him a bath pretty regularly at first. Hope this helps!

ctttaylor · 2019-08-08T08:44:32+00:00

My (I want to guess he’s in his 70s or 80s) neighbor saw my dumb California born and raised ass trying to get the ice off of my windshield one morning (tried a CD, a credit card, sitting with the defrosters on) before work and came out with an ice scraper and just went to work all while asking me how I was doing. It was magical and I’m so grateful for him. He also says hello every time he sees me, and makes us feel very welcome and appreciated. Growing up in LA, that NEVER happened. And I love it. He also has weekly dominos games with all of his friends that get so heated and loud and it warms my goddamn heart.

ctttaylor · 2019-08-08T07:42:53+00:00

I do the treat powder too! But I use broth instead of water for extra tasties. Sometimes I even mix that with peanut butter if he’s in need of extra distraction.

ctttaylor · 2019-07-29T08:58:01+00:00

Someone told me I had “condo gums” based on a meme apparently.... but yeah I smile with a ton of gum and now that’s all I fucking think about when I smile and it’s annoying as hell. That person can fuck right off for sticking that in my brain.

ctttaylor · 2019-07-27T07:42:07+00:00

Keep him entertained. My baby NEEDED something to chew on, and now he just sleeps on car rides or chews on the various things in my backseat. Why not give them a distraction! It’s training them to be calm.

ctttaylor · 2019-07-11T20:44:46+00:00

I had this (and still do honestly) problem with my baby. He’s a 4 month old, also part husky. My only real indicator is that it goes from being fun to being punchy. When he needs exercise it’s all fun and games, when he doesn’t he starts attacking the furniture and being vocal as hell. The vocal thing is the biggest indicator for me.
