if I ever offended you or hurt your feelings, please know that I would very much like to understand and make amends. I will not be around here much, but feel free to reach out to me on matrix.
I just feel like if we had a movement to harness the fury of trans women and perimenopausal women, the ICE nazis would literally run and hide from us
I have made men twice my size cower from the look in my eyes, by myself, alone. we could shake governments with our fury combined.
oh hello, you’re talking about me
I’m gonna be real with you, though: nobody cares about my takes. since I don’t have a Real Job and have only done paperwork (women’s work, donchano) and childcare (same) for the last two decades, none of my opinions count.
being a perimenopausal lady has not been helping my case; as you all have experienced, I’m not exactly ✨stable✨
it’s not great: women are either locked up in childcare until they’re perimenopausal psychopaths like myself, or their opinions are ignored because they didn’t raise children so what do they know.
this plus a conversation today on /r/perimenopause has me ready to try to restart the Womyn’s Circles movement
honestly kinda pissed that you fuckers drove off Ivysaur
sure, I’ve been under a rock, but what the actual fuck
come to the blue dots
there’s usually at least one other person masked in my grocery store
ME TOO
they are really great kids who care deeply about the world, and I will protect them with my life
they were always weird
I was deeply skeptical of the “game” as a child and am even more so as an adult
what
where I’m from, “whippersnappers” are children 😂
what do you use that word for???
semolina pudding
is this what your folk call cream of wheat?
❤️❤️❤️ eternally with you, dissociating in the feathered darkness
it’s okay, I have no idea what any of this means, you’re far ahead of me
yo-yos were totally a thing and I was one of those nerds who loved a yo-yo guy ❤️ genuinely impressive dexterity
Rewinding the VHS before returning it to the rental store
did you know anybody with one of the quick-rewind boxes? I remember my (much older!) sister had one that was shaped like a race car, and you just put the VHS tape in and closed it and it would super fast rewind it to the beginning
(to make it easier to return videos, “be kind, rewind” etc)
all the weird, niche activities that were 90s-only have already been mentioned, so I’ll just admit that the weirdest thing I did back in the day, I still do:
trust strangers online with the personal details of my life
why do I tell any of you what is actually going on with me? why have I trusted a few of you with my actual contact information that allows you to know who I am irl?
idfk. the promise of the internet, I guess: that you can find friends far away from your location that can deeply relate to the things that you’re going through.
that makes the risk worth it.
just want to offer you a ray of hope from my kid’s friend circle: they are not isolated, they are super in touch with what is happening in the world, and they are very concerned.
this is just some queer kids from southern Ohio, make of that what you will, but hopefully it gives you some peace to know that even the youth here give all the fucks ❤️
did you all have the thing before 411? it was like (area code)-555-1212 that you could call to find out things that weren’t in the yellow pages
disagree — just enough info to be eminently relatable
one of the most ridiculous but most poignant bonding experiences: draw the parallel lines on your notebook, then slide it to your neighbor to complete
will we be friends?!?! we will know if they complete the drawing ❤️
web circles! “if you like my site, check out …”
desperately wish I could remember the / stuff for my old geocities
I know it was /SouthBeach or something, there was some kinda beach in it
all the environmental prophecies I heard while I was in DSA are coming true
they closed the border
they’re oppressing unpapered migrants
they’re kicking people out who were here with all the proper paperwork
they’re working on ways to revoke citizenship
literally everything I was told ten years ago about how this was gonna go down is how it is going down. stopped watch and all, I know, but still. it’s just very surreal to see it so fucking obvious, so very soon.
