Look.

I have absolutely nothing against sex work. None at all. If that is your thing, please do that thing and be happy.

I do not, however, appreciate it being boosted into my feeds, or being spammed by it, or unrelentingly followed by bot, onlyfan, or sex cam accounts.

I AM NOT INTERESTED.

WHEN I WANT PORN, I GO FIND IT MYSELF.

I like that I’m into ‘vintage’ hobbies. I love old people in vintage hobbies. It’s like having an elder with good taste guide you.

An old lady gave me her coffee burr grinder before moving to a nursing home. A really old man sold me his Rega Planar 2 record player, with impeccably selected stylus and cartridge and parts. The cameras I buy, mostly from old men and women. I also love talking to old people, so it’s a win!

Not to sound old myself, but ‘they don’t make things like they used to’.

I am sharing this, a reply to a reply, as a solemn "In the Arms of the Angels"-esque plea to those with any influence on those who do not have a life, please do what you are able to entreat and help them to get a fucking life. Thank you. https://beige.party/@GrimmReality/111628304318116799

always blows my mind #Mariah Carey not only wrote most of her songs but also for groups like Boys II Men.

love her or hate her, the woman knows how to write power house R&B tunes... ESPECIALLY as #Christmas #songs.

what am still waiting for is her alleged punk/grunge rock album she wrote and recorded but has never released.

like, girl, WTF. don't let us hanging!

Here's me shocked because I thought John Schneider was already dead.

I love that Walton Goggins voiced one of the characters in Prey.

If you play, he's the prisoner in the glass room very near the heart of coral.

Question: Is there a Mastodon app, official or otherwise that lets you switch between accounts without logging in /out.

Kinda like the old tweetdeck?

Yep. Skipping Christmas this year was the absolute right call. Sleep turned a corner this week and I'm on the upward slope. Energy is way better.

This would have been delayed / setback by weeks had I pushed myself.

It's interesting when you think that nearly all the coolest pieces of architecture in the world were built by someone having a mental breakdown.

We had some fucking MISSIONARIES come to the door earlier. I was busy doing something else.

My son answered the door and told them to fuck off.

Good boy. :)

I'm going to open up a discussion about how people actually live with Boundaries. This isn't a place to be judgemental about other people's choices, we all rationalize things, and make the best we can out of difficult circumstances.

Many of you know I care for my mother who is paraplegic, the level of care my husband and I give her is on the high end, it would be incredibly difficult for one person to do everything that would need to be done. This might sound ugly, but my mother was not a good mother, she frantically switched back and forth between helicopter parenting and outright neglect. She also doesn't think she has issues, and would never go to any therapy that wasn't "Christian" or take any kind of medication for mental health. I spent my childhood caring for her, my father and my siblings, and I still care for her. Understandably, people ask why, and it's a hard thing for me to answer. I do try very hard to set Boundaries with her now, but it probably isn't enough all the time, burn out is high for caregivers in the best of situations, and I can't pretend this is that. It feels like most of us compromise on something, especially with family.

So, what are your experiences with this kind of thing? What do you rationalize? What have you learned?
This is more about sharing personal experiences than to preach at people about their choices, so please keep that in mind when you reply.

Hi all! This is now my main account. I cannot find any info on whether or not this instance plans to federate with Facebook, so I'll camp here until I find out. (IT DOES NOT! WOOT!)

I'll keep the .Social account as well. For now.
