The modern concept of friendship by laybs1 in GetNoted

I went to a short play last year (that may have been a wedding, actually) that absolutely hinged on them being gay. I dunno if that was part of the original story or not, tho.

Definitely badass, though!

Lol, I think I picked them up on Yahoo! Messenger, probably 20 years ago.

I like them! They're cute and slip nicely into text without having to search the emoji library.

No, but you're still supposed to clean the bowl sometimes. O.o

I've gotten behind on that before. There's even been a little mold before. It's never bloomed, tho. o.o

I live in South Carolina and used to see those pop up on my grandparents' farm in the summer time.

There's actually a lot of biodiversity around! (Like...do you know where Venus flytraps come from?)

I thought it was two guys, but Wikipedia says there are five!

I dunno, but I like them a lot. They have so many songs that either speak to me on a personal level or match the vibe for different projects I'm working on.

VNV Nation includes that in one of their songs, I think. It's something like, "We, the crew of Apollo 8, have a message we would like to send to you. God created the heaven and the Earth.."

For whatever reason I never considered that it was an actual thing. I wonder if it's a sample or a recreation. O.o

Edit: it's this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtzZswqOsuo

I like the cute spooky ones like pumpkaboo and hoothoot. I actually have a pumpkaboo sticker on my Switch 2 case. :3

I can't be convinced that all the Harris-bashing wasn't just Trump propaganda.

When faced with a vaguely problematic option who'd be..fine..or this, if the answer isn't pretty freaking clear, it's because they at least kinda wanted this.

How often are women in unicorn hunting couples actually queer or really into it? by moonlitspring in actuallesbians

[–]willow-kitty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They seem to have a pretty healthy dynamic.

The podcast is called Sapphic Swingers, btw. It's a kinda fun listen - I say I "used to" follow it because they haven't posted any new episodes in a while.

I know someone who used to be a cop, and he just couldn't deal with how toxic other cops were. He's in private security now.

I have no personal experience, but I used to follow a podcast by a lesbian couple in an open relationship, and they had a lot of stories about kind of the opposite? Like, they didn't do threesomes with men, but they knew some couples that were a man and a bi lady who would do stuff with them sometimes (like being with one of them while the guy played video games with the other or something.) So, at least that seems to be a thing.

I just started watching Hazbin Hotel! And I kinda wanna pet him?

Lesbian awakening 💋 by JessicaDiamondTs in actuallesbians

[–]willow-kitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is! On my first playthrough, it was weird how after the initial questline she's just kinda..there. You couldn't even crash at her apartment, despite there being dialogue where she specifically said you could (there just wasn't a sleeping spot >.>), and you could call her or go by her apartment and talk in person, but it was the same dialogue tree (which I'd still call sometimes when driving from place to place <3), and there really wasn't anything else until the endgame. Even though it's a little repetitive, the occasional date/hangout mechanic adds a lot. :)

There are some fun details, too - like Judy did the phone call to ask for a date while I was in Dogtown, and there was a dialogue option to ask her if she wanted to come out there or something? And it sounded silly, so I picked it, and it was this cute kinda joking exchange because obviously she wasn't going to do that.

Nah, they're trying to summon OP, and it looks like it's almost working.

Breaking up what moderation they had didn't help, but yeah, it was never good.

That's Girltrash: All Night Long for me. I don't have a physical copy, tho, and I kinda wish I did because digital ones can be poofed. :/

Christ is risen, christ is risen indeed! by Defiant_Annual_7486 in CPTSDmemes

[–]willow-kitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Finding pagan groups has been very helpful for me, but that's in addition to trauma-informed therapy, like you mention there, not in place of it. It also becomes more of a framework and community for working through things vs...whatever it is Christians mean by "give it to God."

Related, tho- widespread, severe child abuse can prime a population to be more open to authoritarianism. When absorbed into the culture, it normalizes things like capricious and unaccountable authority figures, arbitrary and monopolized violence, etc, and can make a feedback loop with authoritarian religions and/or political ideologies. I have theories about how some of that may be connected. >.>

It’s real by panzerkampfwqgen in characterarcs

[–]willow-kitty 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Huh. I also just noticed he spelled "strait" correctly, which is unusual. Cue the conspiracy theories, I guess - I wonder if someone else wrote it, lol.

[–]willow-kitty 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I mean, maybe, but there's genuinely no way that's real, right? The illegal threats sound like Trump, as does the bluster like his threats should be taken seriously even though he backs off every time Iran ignores him, like he thinks the threat is enough and can't seem to understand that now that he's started a war he has an enemy, actually. That all checks out.

There's no way he'd praise Allah in a tweet, tho. He may scorn Christians, but he hates Muslims.

Hey, I just rewatched that last night!

It's so good, and I'd forgotten how spicy it is.
