Just an "fyi"

Men, if you think or have ever thought that women aren't attracted to you cuz you aren't tall, rich, muscular, with a full head of hair and swinging 9", don't blame women, blame patriarchy and toxic masculinity.

Men have decided that's what the "ideal man" looks like (even though for a lot of these toxic men they've had to resort to gender-affirming treatments like hair...

What I'm hearing here, is that you think I should get hair plugs and also the other type of "extension."  Huh.

was talking to a friend at work about a coworker, and they said, "Ooh, sounds like you might have a bit of a crush on her!"

I said, "Oh I definitely have a crush on her."

Them: "Well, why don't you say something?"

Me: "For one, they're interested in someone else who's also into them; and for two, they're not interested in me in that...

Went for a walk today, didn't go the last 2 days (too cold and windy for this desert rat).
Did I want to? Fuck no! I worked 6.5 hours on my day off and had to stop by the grocery store after work and also fill up my car's tank. I was negotiating with myself, saying, "If I promise to write a chapter tomorrow, I...

Did my 5th day walk today. The weather is supposed to be ugly the next 2 days, so we shall see (plus a friend asked for help after I get off work tomorrow).
Speaking of, please settle a disagreement for me. Said friend had asked me for help during the week last week for on their day off (and the end of my work week),...

Personally, I would have checked.  Some folks feel bad asking for help, or reminding people.  But, you also don't have reason to feel guilty for not doing so, because they didn't keep up the communication either.

I'm with @skisby.  Might have been better if you'd checked, but you weren't under an obligation to.  There is no wrong here, just less than ideal.  And we can't be ideal, especially not all the time.  And when you're trying to help someone?  You already put yourself out there to do it, so I'm not sure why it should also be on you to coordinate it and make it happen.

After work, I went out for a walk around the neighborhood, even though work kicked my ass today and I was super tired. That's 4 days in a row I've went for a walk. Now, some people may say that's nothing or 4 days isn't that long, but I'm proud I did it even though I didn't want to, and that I've stuck with it...

Keep it up! I can’t keep up with my daily woods romp now that I’m back to work, but try to get outside at lunchtime for some air & another after work to unwind. It does wonders for mental & physical health. Solvatur Ambulando is a favorite latin phrase which means "it is solved by walking". Works every time for me & everyone knows I’m off for a walkabout when I need to purge or think something through! 💪 🍀

@headshot very true! @skisby thank you sir!!

Are we going to hide out in the sewer systems again? Sheeba asked as Neeku shadowstepped through the morgue gate, a feat made difficult as the sun was going to be rising within an hour or so and shadows were becoming faint.

“Not just yet, I want to wait until we’re leaving the city; and, since we don’t know if Sola found some unlucky...

oh, god.  I drop off for a few months and come back to dreams fulfilled, which means catching up, which is going to mean compiling all this so far so I can read in order on the right device ...

Novocaine was fun!

Took my boys to see Novocaine tonight, it was fun, a couple of STBS (StoryTeller BullShit) moments, and VERY gory, but an enjoyable movie. And Amber Midthunder 😍😍😍😍😍

How long she sat there, enveloped by two deities, Neeku had no idea but eventually the sobs stopped coming and she was able to finally take deep long breaths. She gently pushed Ara away from her as she scrubbed her face with her hands, trying her best to wipe the tear stains away. Finally, she gave up and noticed that Ara was standing over her,...
