Um. I love him.

You’re thinking of Rhianna and Eminem, love the way you lie,.or something like that. It’s hysterical to me that that’s the song you’re talking abt because the person who originally replied to you suggested Eminem and Dido. So. I think you just don’t like Slim Shady.

Oh, so I’m def a bee… I don’t know what that means for these signs tho.

It’s the 10th of Stan Rawlinson’s 10 Pet Commandments:

-Stay with me on the ultimate difficult journey. Never say, “I can’t bear to watch” or “Let it happen in my absence”. Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember, regardless of what you do I will always love you.

What a strange, cruel policy from the vet. When I had to put my cat down, my vet had me hold her in my arms while she administered the shot, and then she left the room so it could be just me and my cat til the end. Since I decided to take her body home to bury on my parents’ property, my vet recommended that I show her to my remaining cat so that we could mourn together. She said he would understand what death meant if he got to see her, but he would be distressed more if she just disappeared.

What a hideous policy for everyone involved, shame on this vet/shelter for so many reasons.

My grandpa’s life partner came into his life after my dad was an adult but before I was born, so she’s been in the family longer than I have. She never wanted to be called anything other than her first name, but by all measures, she is my grandma, and I love her. So I’ve had the typical grandma/grandpa names for mine, but I also have an Izzy, and that’s really special to me.

Oh, I thought we were talking about my ex husband

5 Pillars of Islam maybe?

Sure, I read your back and forth earlier this morning with that other person, and I agree that if there is even a little room for semantic loopholes, assholes will use it, so it’s better to just be annoyingly specific. At this point in our country’s lifetime, lawmakers should know this, and the crown act should have been so beurocratically definitive of all aspects of hair. But also school officials should be worried about teaching all kids, not this dumb bullshit. :(

xx hope your day is nice and you’re having a good hair day

I’m a white girl. My hairstyle is “long”. It’s my entire personality.

What they are doing to this young man is grotesque, but I’m not at all surprised the superintendent is being so petty. He’s nothing more than an overgrown racist high school bully.

So interesting. I always thought the bakers dozen came from the fact that tue baker would make 13 so they had one for themselves

This is the original meaning of the phrase “the customer is always right”. It’s been warped by “karen” types into a weapon used against minimum wage workers, but what it’s supposed to mean is “the customer is always right in matters of taste”. Meaning if a company doesn’t want to do something because they think it’s dumb but the demographic says “I like that” then the customer is right, and the company should do it. I know the dwarf tag isn’t about money, but it’s still a matter of listening to the customers on the platform.

My mother was the abuser in my home. She abused me and my father. That fact doesn’t prevent me from knowing that men are statistically more likely to be the aggressor. I don’t know what I’m trying to say with this comment. Life is scary and hard enough. May we all only share and receive kindness.

Xx love you.

This is a cool new vocabulary word, thank you. Would you consider the aura some people get before migraines to fit this definition?

I used to babysit a little girl who, if she saw someone in a skirt or dress, would run up to them and say, “Hey! Hey! Um. Does your dress spin?” And of course, even strangers knew the only correct response was to perform the most elaborate twirl and make that dress spin. Now, over a decade later, when I’m shopping for dresses, I always give them a test spin to make sure they’re wooshy enough.

Thank you for reminding me of that memory this morning, it sparked joy :)

I just learned this the hard way. I just got laid off and rejected the severance check because in order to get it, we had to sign a thing that said we waived our right to ever sue them for anything

Quack

It was very funny, I like this a lot, thank you.

I pay for a subscription to Scribd, i think its like $12 or $14 USD/month. I started using it after I heard an ad on Levar Burton’s short story podcast, “Levar Burton Reads”. His recommendation sold me because he’s a genuine advocate for literacy. I don’t THINK it’s Amazon affiliated, I try not to use Amazon products and services, but it’s getting harder all the time to avoid them. It has slightly less of a selection than audible, but I find many great things on there. It doesn’t have tokens or whatever the audible bullshit is, you can just listen to whatever you want whenever you want. There’s no ads, but it does make recommendations and suggestions, I’m sure those are some kind of sponsored. When I signed up, it also automatically signed me up for a free service called farfaria, or something like that, which is a children’s audio book service. I had no interest in that, but my mother, who is a nanny, really enjoys it. I really really like it, but there are some titles (can’t think of them off the top of my head, but mostly big name and brand new stuff) that aren’t on there that I do feel like I miss out on.
