I love waiting more than a year for an appointment and then sitting waiting in the room alone for an hour past my appointment time. People have jobs they need to get to!!!!

Hahahahha not sure the part that makes you feel that way, but reply guys are the guys who just won't. stop. replying in the most condescending way possible. And I want them to get the fuck out. It's just like a meme post format.

I'm happy to pay taxes for those things. It's the "make childfree people pay ADDITIONAL taxes" that gets my goat when we are by and large already paying more than people with kids.

Make the rich pay what they owe before deciding single means tons of disposable income.

I have such a busy next two weeks, if there's one thing I'm going to do it's protect my sleep. Good night friends. 😴

Buy my friend's book!

Acey Deecey @mcgarrygirl78.bsky.social · 4d

8 years ago, my first novel came out in paperback. It's nearly impossible to reach back & touch the feelings of accomplishment, triumph, and joy I felt holding that book and knowing soon others would hold it too. It's currently available on Amazon now in ebook & paperback. It's part 1 of a trilogy.

LOL at people who are shocked when I tell them that ace and aro people are frequently polyamorous as well. It makes SO much sense when you think about it. In fact someone in my ace book club is relationship anarchist.

Welp. That's me for the day.

We didn't see my grandparents a lot when we were kids, and my dad's mom was high-key racist. Shout-out to my mom for always taking the 5-hour car ride home as an opportunity to deprogram us from whatever awful stuff Gma had said that weekend. I was reminded of that today and seriously, thanks, Mom.

Which #OFMD character do you most relate to?

✅ Undiagnosed autism-everyone can tell but him
✅ Tries to be nice, but can be bitchy
✅ Often times oblivious
✅ Late in life queer discovery - I'm a demi Stede truther, and I'm personally ace so that MAY be connected

Stede is me and I am him.
