Work is being extra difficult today. It's not at the point where I'm in danger of burning out, but I'll sure be glad when I clock off for the day.
I'm not in the US but recently met someone who is, and they made a great point about nurturing and supporting the communities/groups you're already in. Whether you meet physically or virtually, spend time with and be present for each other.
As for finding a community, one of the things that has really worked for me is finding a local hardcore punk music venue and going to shows there. Even if you're not into the music, the chances are good that the people in that scene are inclusive of queer, trans, neurodiverse and disabled identities.
Edit: I was in a bit of a hurry in my original reply. I want to add that I hope you're safe, and that you are able to find support, love and hope through your community. I once saw a tshirt with the slogan "QUEER LOVE DESTROYS FASCISM" and I keep holding onto that thought to get me through dark days.
They used to be part of the same scene as Napalm Death, and played some of the same shows.
Honestly they bring it live. If you ever get the chance, go see them.
I'm pretty sore today but very, very happy.
Aw I'm really sorry. I hope the time you have with her is happy and something you'll cherish.
I feel this is deliberately misleading. You don't get to incite violence, causing fear and people's lives to be threatened, and then cower behind "Buh.. buh... but my free speech!"
😂 yeah that's strong terrier energy. They either have no concept, or give no fucks, about how small they are. My family's Jack Russell would square up to horses and she would not back down from anything
Talent is a subjective term. There's a talent to making music that strikes a chord with people, whether it's technically skilled or not.
What you have described isn't being mentally abusive. I'm really sorry you're in this position. Please don't convince yourself this behaviour makes you an abusive person: it doesn't.
When your friends express that they want you to find help, it's because they care about you. They want you to come out of this and thrive.
Thank you! I've never come across one but it sounds delicious.
I think the closest I've had is getting a beef sandwich with a pot of gravy to dip it in myself.
I've had this palm for a few years and it's been fine. I water it once a month, don't move it around too much and make sure the soil doesn't get waterlogged.
A month or so ago I noticed it starting to droop, and the soil was still very wet despite not having recently watered it. As a precaution I removed it from the damp soil and repotted it with fresh houseplant compost mix. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have improved the plant's health 😢
Is there anything else I can try?
I managed to get a copy of the Definitive Edition version of The Fragile!
