Yes, you’re right. This is mostly a joke based on the OP meme. It’s not so serious.

Slightly off topic, but im in school for massage therapy, and just took my midterm exam which involves giving massage to classmates while the teacher watches. During practice, we check in with questions like “is the pressure okay?” And the response is either “its great” “it’s too much” or “I’d like more pressure”. During the exam, I overheard other students saying “I’d like more pressure” and I couldn’t help thinking to myself - unless someone is hurting you and you need them to lighten up, the only thing you should be saying right now while the proctor is grading is “that’s perfect pressure!” Like c’mon now, do your peers a solid and say it’s good if it’s good, worry about the feedback details during practice time.

A little before that, i think? Maybe since The Crusades?

I do not have the means to donate to things that I care about. Most weeks, the difference between overdrafting my bank account or not is literally a few cents. I donate the $3.10 every time the pop up shows up on Wikipedia. I’m sure there are other organizations that need the money more, but I think Wikipedia is SO important, and so far has remained earnest in their behavior. Proud of you for donating what you could, glad I could help a little bit too.

Be well, friend

Butts. Seriously. But no one ever knows what im asking for, so then I say “the cube, the brick, the chargey part…with a usb please”

I don’t think I made it up, but literally no one else ever seems to call them that, so idk where I heard it.

2 flower dads in front (adopted dad + step dad)

Bio dad and bride (if she has a good relationship with him and wants that)

2 flower dads in back (other adopted dad + step dad)

Or make them all sit and let bio mom do it, if bride’s relationship with bio mom is good.

But I like the planenquine suggestion from the meme best, she should do that. When else will she have a chance to do that?

Oh I think you’re spot on, thanks <3

Is there a word for bad nostalgia? Is it just regret? That doesn’t sound quite right. I thought i’d outgrown these feelings and put them away, but seeing this meme brings them back full force. The panic, the instant guilt, the sorrow that all comes with looking over the edge of the bed and seeing my lil cabbage patch kid all crumpled up on the floor. Even now I can feel the surge of adrenaline from leaning just a little too far out of bed, almost falling out myself. Just being able to reach one little ruffle on dolly’s jammies, just enough to snatch her off the ground, scoop her into bed, and sob and apologize, but deep down I know sorry will never be enough to make up for tossing her on the ground in the middle of the night.

Thanks for the morning cry. Probably gonna have to go to my mom’s house after work and see if I can find my old stuff.

Hope you get to feel some sunshine today xoxo
