unrequested thoughts on parenting fedi kids lol
A parent has to balance preventing bad stuff and when itās time to sit back, watch their kid get hurt, and help them through the fallout.
This is an impossible balance to get right especially because that balance evolves over time. A baby you protect from almost everything and itās hard to realize itās time to let go and even harder to actually let go.
Itās not just protecting the kid, itās self protection of myself; its been shown moms experience their childrenās pain as if it were their own.
Also if yāallās parents knew what the phrase āfedi metaā meant theyād probably lock you in your room even if you are legally an adult š¶
Iāve got a three christmas ghosts kinda thing going on rn but with hookups I havenāt talked to in months and maybe shouldnāt have given my phone number to
I get so excited when a show has a character named Ginny
When I was most of yāallās age the big deal was we could get 3D pre-rendered toasters to fly across the screen if we didnāt type or move the mouse for 5 minutes ($29.99 plus tax and you had to go to a store to buy a boxed copy of the software on 3 1/4ā floppy)
Be careful opening google docs as it is an excellent way to accidentally dox yourself to the author and others, who can see the people opening the docs. Use private mode or make sure you are logged out of all your google accounts when opening one.
IMO posting it as a google doc response to a community where privacy is critical, in and of itself, is suspicious as fuck.
What is the secular version of āyāall need to find Christā
One time at work i said āwhatās the good word?ā to a coworker and he immediately said āJesus Christ lord and saviorā and he didnāt seem religious and never mentioned religion before or again
I also found out he had a dead pan sort of humor
So like my white whale is finding out if he was serious or joking , also this was 20 years ago or so
Move pitch; a modern love story: two star crossed lovers are building a future together when comes the news : their fedi instances were defederating. Can love outlast to get their Romeo and Juliet ending, or will these two end tragically like one of those other shakespeares
I need a gift that says āitās the thought that countsā and also hides the fact that Iām bad at that part too
I always forget because Roman nimberals, is the proper order to watch in?!?

fascinating to me that my posts which get popular almost universally end up with 2 likes/1 boost ratio
I think my boobs have grown in size!! From ātheoreticalā to āconfusing to cis peopleā (on a good day)
they liked something I posted 2 weeks ago. Interesting. Very interesting
who is writing this season of reality it really sucks
I have a very small smooth patch of skin on my torso that I used to discover I am not cut out for home waxing hair removal
hahahaha so this guy had a cybertruck in his profile pic and he chats me and I say āoh how did you pick that photo with the truck?ā
And he said
(This is hilarious)
āI bought itā
look, yeah, he dresses up like a ghost and āhauntsā people around town, we know and we donāt care, he ran the waterslide and itās summer; you fucked up scooby
Sometimes watching a fight or very active scene in a movie I lose track of what is happening but never care enough to figure it out so I just have a little dance/sing thing in my head until the plot starts happening again
