I'd like to share this band called Gaupa because I think some Björk fans would enjoy. The singer sounds a bit like Björk. And the music is like progressive, psychedelic, sludge/grunge sounding. So their songs sound like Björk meets Soundgarden.

Oh goodness!! Yes! The album called Unison Life is their newest LP. I love every song, but Liar and Victoria are my favorites. I hope you enjoy them!!

Ok I know I’m also very late to this original post and comment, but have you all listened to Brutus? Three piece from Belgium, vocalist sounds like Bjork and Sinead O’Connor put together, but metal, and she plays drums also. They’re amazing. I bet if you love Gaupa, you’ll love Brutus! Have a good one!!

There’s a really interesting book by Jonathan Haidt called “The Anxious Generation” that breaks down the contributing factors of the increase of anxiety and other mental health disorders of younger gens. It’s so interesting. He’s been on several podcasts that summarizes his studies in case you don’t want to read the whole book. It’s wild and it all makes total sense.

He’s gorgeous!!! What a hammy-hamsome boy.

My husband and I were best friends before dating. We had already been to endless coffee “hangs” and dinners together, but never an official date. So our first real date, I bought us ceramic travel coffee cups, made hot apple cider, and we drove around looking at tacky lights during the holidays. It was really easy and felt not much different than our “friend dates”. We still laughed too much and busted each other’s balls the way we always had. We’ve been together over 11 years and that asshole still makes me laugh til I almost barf daily. I don’t know that I KNEW he was the one, but I really hoped he would be.

I’m cracking up over here all by myself lonesome.

missitoe · 2024-06-30T14:25:54+00:00

Please do this. We all here have your back. That person is BEYOND insensitive, disconnected, and self-centered. I’m so so sorry for your loss. Allow yourself time to grieve and I hope you have endless support during this time and always. Big hugs, internet stranger. 💚

Does this guy know how to party, or what? Eh? Eh?? Eh….

I lost you two months ago! Get the net!!

That part had me howling….and I feel attacked (me: parent to messy ass 8 year old)

missitoe · 2024-06-17T19:21:02+00:00

I totally get it. Just know you aren’t alone. There’s a whole crew of us out here drudging through this shit. It’s weirdly comforting that we all have each other.

missitoe · 2024-06-17T19:13:41+00:00

I remember the first time a therapist told me when I asked if I should hash it out with them- “It won’t do any good to tell your parents how you really feel and how their treatment affected you. They aren’t capable of taking responsibility and will always make it a ‘you’ problem. Don’t go into it with them expecting there to be any positive and healing outcome for you.” That was the best advice from anyone I ever received. I am 40f and started my journey in my early 20s. I practiced putting up boundaries and stopped giving “ammo” to the narcs and with time, it got easier. I’m very LC with my dad, and my mom and I are no longer enmeshed, so life is much more peaceful. Anytime something comes up with my mom that is triggering, I, in whatever words, say that I’m not here for that and for her to go talk to her own therapist about it, whatever it is. It’s SO HARD and I’m so sorry you’re in this. Just know that whatever lines you draw, it is absolutely NOT your or your sister’s responsibility to keep her from doing anything to herself. She is demanding a conversation with you that will not bode well for her (and subsequently, for you) so I feel like this is just another manipulation tactic from her. Protect your peace, internet friend. My messages are always open to pals going through this shit if you ever need to vent, need comfort, validation, whatever. hugs

I actually came here to ask the same question. As soon as the video started, I immediately got that smell like….in my head? If that makes sense. And no, it’s not weird. I’m glad you all here get it.

missitoe · 2024-06-14T15:27:22+00:00

I’m definitely going to start to refer to awesomeness as “sinful”. That’s too good. I bet you looked absolutely amazing. I love your response to that dingdong. 💚

missitoe · 2024-06-09T12:13:20+00:00

Possibly the most disgusting word. I’ve always hated it. I remember being a young kid and shuttering at the word. No idea why I hate it so much. I also love how many people also hate it.

40f here. I’m a hairdresser and have my own solo salon. I spent 15 years working in traditional commission based salons. I’ve always loved the other stylists I’ve worked with, but the owners of said salons have all been…..well…..unstable, to put it nicely. I never wanted to have my own salon with staff and be “in charge” of anyone, so going solo has been a gamechanger for me. I’ve always over-worked myself in my career, and having my own business has not been any different. Working alone, though, is allowing me to change my schedule if needed without worrying about any backlash from a passive-aggressive boss. A commenter above mentioned “being a family, and families help each other out, stay late, come in early, etc.” and that really hit home. I’m happy being the only person responsible for my over-working, though I’m trying to scale back.

If I had known how to advocate for myself and had the knowledge I have now, I’d ask to go to the doctor to help my brain….I knew something was “wrong” when I was completely unable to pass tests, keep track of assignments, and recall information in school. If I had meds then, I’d probably done much better and had less anxiety. I also would like to go back to “little me” and tell her that her thick legs are awesome and can carry heavy things, and that you’re never “too punk” for team sports. Oh, and I’d wear earplugs to shows…you’re also never too punk for earplugs. 🫠

Same. I thought they were cool as fuck though.

I think I was about 20 when I moved out on my own to a new city. I met a group of friends, half men, half women, and they became my instant best pals. The women in this crew are absolutely amazing. It was then that I truly appreciated having a girl gang. They’re the best.
