Her smug victory laugh at the end is amazing
This is a much delayed response, but it is good to see you back, even if it is with a very depressing topic. May you have much time and coffee in the coming months! And also, I hope your family member (and you) are ok. I've seen the toll that care taking can take; I admit I am dreading when I will have to step into that roll myself.
Nanna'a ears doing that little floop floop floop as she walks brings me so much joy <3
Sounds like the shooter had an AR-15, and he was a registered republican. (And barely an adult, sadly). But seriously, which party constantly promotes violence and guns? And Trump has been swindling his base for how long now? Makes sense he'd anger some of the very people he's encouraged to be violent.
or exotic pets
I mean, there are also the crazy scientists who just want to go out and poke all the things to see what happens. Not all of humanity is asshole
Also, instagram or even facebook worked for me for finding the local places, like or follow a few local pages/profiles that promote the area or events in the area, and then let the algorithm work for you!
ditto what they said. I tried the dating apps for a long time, and nothing worked well. But finding events, meetups, groups, ect in the area that was filled with people hanging out doing things I like doing? Very quickly found lots of friends and a romantic partner. Go to the places where people like you go, and it'll be reassuringly easy. (But sometimes finding those places can be the hard part, lol)
I vote fascist fat man. Or maybe fatty fascist. Or something else f - fascist. Maybe just that fucking fascist.
I get why people want to avoid the fat label, but I also really want the dems to up their game so that WE DON'T END UP WITH A FASCIST PRESIDENT.
Aka lots of tldr in the comments. The article makes it pretty clear.
There's a book that might be a good temporary stepping stone? I'll link it below. It helped me quite a bit. I know it's not the same as a therapist being present and actively listening to you, but maybe it can be better than nothing until you manage to find a therapist? Good luck <3

"Every run is a new adventure, and every mile is a gift." Happy birthday Nanna! And as always, you're amazing, Abe!
That's perfect. I'm doing something similar with my dad, and it's so nice to slowly put together everything we want to try to do. I hope you two get to see some amazing stuff!
Even if your partner or mom isn't willing to move, you could maybe ask them if either of them would want to go on vacation with you? You could go to a liberal area, just for a bit, to escape the trumpisms? And having something to look forward to always helped me at least a little.
Idk if you were looking for advice, or just to rant. But either way, Pearl is amazing and lovely (both the character and your cat)
I love all the colors, but especially the bottom right one. Lovely!
Haha, yep, fellow west mass person here, know exactly how it is.
I went through MassHire, and applied to a specific training assistance program (for industries that desperately need more workers). Seems like MassHire works alongside the state and other state resources? Idk, but check their site for whatever part of MA you're in (central, western, eastern, ect). I don't know if they have blanket assistance for community college financial assistance in general, or if it's only for specific industries that are in need of more workers.
I'm in MA, and, in two weeks, starting a certificate program at my community college for a career switch. I am paying nothing for a year of schooling and get immediate placement into the workforce after, and there's a paid internship the second semester. All funded by the state.
It is a fucking lifesaver. Seriously, tax the rich.
Thank you. You made my night <3
exactly
This blog describes it better then I ever could. It's basically mansions with a piecemeal style that doesn't really make sense. https://mcmansionhell.com/
Happy birthday!! <3
I recently left a job as a mograph artist/character animator, and I know how bleak the industry is as a whole. I wish any of the attempts to unionize had worked. I don't have any advice, I just know how much it sucks. Wish we could do what we loved AND be able to afford to live. At least the artists with unions might have that chance? Good luck to you, fellow artist. I hope things turn around.
I like the definition that you picked out, as well as the accompanying chart. From what little I know, systems thinking is a bitch. I wish we were built better for it. On a totally different note, love the new site!
Here's a cool video explaining for everyone who's not a geologist: https://youtu.be/ypn3Fe_PLts
Maybe you're losing who you thought you once were, or how you had seen yourself? Or a coping mechanism you let define yourself? "Who am I? I could be anyone." It's a feeling that definitely caused me anxiety. It has the potential to be exciting, and terrifying. Therapy can definitely help. It helped me figure out what part of that unknown was so mind numbingly paralyzing to me.
Aww yeahhh, go Nanna!
