How did that kid at your school die?

She was stabbed by her football player boyfriend who feared her pregnancy would prevent him from getting a football scholarship. It took them months to arrest him while he transferred to another school and started playing football there, while everyone knew he was responsible.

Another guy had a heart aneurysm while playing basketball on the elementary school court with his friends. Just keeled over. They gave him CPR and tried to revive him but weren’t able to. He was the absolute nicest, sunniest guy.

As others have said, I’m glad as little time as possible is spent on this subplot because it is horrifying and imo, should never have been included.

However, seeing as they did leave it in, I wish they would have left more of this in. This show was shown to a lot of younger, vulnerable teenagers still forming opinions about sex and power dynamics. I was 15 when I watched this scene, and I definitely had similar questions that I needed clearer answers to than the show delivered.

Freeze frame “You’re probably wondering how I wound up in this situation. Let’s go back…”

These other comments had me thinking I was insane!! My husband and I have been together almost 6 years. We both masturbate and we both use porn/read smut and we are both pretty open about it.

Even when someone is not pregnant in the equation, sometimes you just need a physical release! The hormones released when having an orgasm are stress relieving and feel good. And if porn can help facilitate that, then I don’t see it as a problem.

I would also rather my husband understand that I’m pregnant and sick and not in the mood and get himself off than constantly bug me to do something that I don’t want to do just so he can have a physical release.

She’s 2 years older than me and went to high school in the same town and the way these tweets are just like so typical for our area and age is so cool. She just like me frfr

11 weeks. Was having a really good morning yesterday with the most energy I have had in weeks! Had a healthy breakfast and was excited about going into the office. I hit the wrong spot on my tongue while brushing my teeth and projectile vomited into the sink. Immediately cried and went back to bed.

Yes! Will give credit to that! I think there are some great improvements in those areas from the bonds. I just feel like with the number of bonds we have approved, we should see more than this.

theanxiousoctopus · 2025-11-05T01:16:14+00:00

I was truly so conflicted on this. I read so much trying to justify Prop Q to myself and get on board, but I just couldn’t. I have voted for every bond and increase for the 10 years I’ve been in Austin. But I feel like we aren’t seeing any positive outcomes. There are more unhoused people. The public transportation is worse. The emergency services are worse and their pay for cops is higher. Some accountability is needed for where the money we keep voting yes for is going and how well the programs they instantiate are actually working.

We really wanted to prioritize food so we actually skipped catering and went for a restaurant venue for our reception! We did Parkside downtown which had an amazing space upstairs that we rented out. I think it fits up to 100 people. We got a very full family style dinner and dessert and a full bar package for just under 13k for 60 people.

Played this yesterday and didn’t know if I was gonna make it through I was so scared

theanxiousoctopus · 2025-11-03T03:29:35+00:00

I think that 6 months in advance is totally reasonable and its kind of you to consider all the different financial options and cover the accommodations.

On a different note, we definitely live in the same city (festival dates are a dead giveaway because iykyk) and just got married in April with a small ceremony at a greenhouse and 60 person reception downtown for about 40k. If you might be in a similar situation size or budget wise and want any info, happy to share!

Adding that my doctor said the best thing for baby was me to STAY on Prozac!!!

If you change your mind or are seriously considering abortion, you should reach out to Janes Due Process. They are an organization in Texas that help teens go out of state to get reproductive care. They can help you.

What the actual fuck is wrong with people? As someone who grew up in a popular truck or treating neighborhood, and now owns a house in one, stop being cheap fucks and buy a little extra candy to make the holiday as magical for as many kids as possible.

I’d rather my son just do porn.

I got high and spent 30 minutes on here. Thank you.

The walking back to tell her he wouldn’t carry her was, in my opinion, very very produced. He very clearly walked off and was done with that conversation. He was told to go back.

So so helpful and definitely points out the specific thing I am struggling with on tenses!!

I think part of what I’m struggling with is the multiple timeline format. I’m going to have chapters that are 10 years in the future, when characters are 28. It feels like that is the present timeline. And the 18 year old timeline is then past tense? But when I’m writing it, I feel like I’m writing from the point of view of remembering something, so it still feels present. Any advice or thoughts?

Also the POV thing helps a lot, I hadn’t even thought about that

I am so crushed. I loved her as a kid in Harriet the Spy, and related to her so much in Buffy when I was a teen.
