He's dangerous for sure; anyone with that audacity and relentlessness can cause damage. But he's not actually that powerful. The vast majority of his proclamations get struck down. His danger is in the audacity, to be sure. Take it away, and people are less emboldened to do what they have been

I truly understand your melancholy, but you're always someone worth caring for. The inability of someone else to fulfill your needs or care about you isn't an indictment on you

I was hoping you were talking about Indomie!

They've got so many other flavours that are so good too. BBQ chicken and special chicken are my favourites

I'm so excited to hear about mRNA vaccine research coming up with a vaccine or treatment for AIDS/HIV. And this time whoever finds it, better patent it, and distribution should follow Stuart Semple's style of petty noblesse

because the inherent value of a human life is conflated with the dollar amount value of said life. I don't know how to perpetuate any form of discourse that tries to assign a value to a life outside from "very fucking important"

And I'll have beef with each of the main characters, but with flowers for each.

The Queerness, the anti-capitalism, mental well-being.... it's all the realness on a screen. It's the right words cos they're rough words. It's the stumbling. It's the growth. Therapy. Hangovers. Copouts.

It's so real

The vulnerability, the compassion, the way they are just small and big, they're so human. Not in a performative, stilted dialogue, unrelatable kind of way. These characters are not me, but also me. My best friend, my estranged family, my coworker. Us, in every way that counts

"I can't do better if I don't know what I did wrong."

And now it feels like it's back on me to go back and help them become better.

I don't know if any of this makes sense or anything like that, and I'm not trying to figure out who's right.

I'm just tired

I didn't feel safe with this so I left

I tried to talk about it so many times. There were many issues. One of the last times I had a talk with them it felt like they shut down in the face of the issue, and I just felt like...there's no navigating this. Not safely for them, not safely for me. So, I snipped.

But today the ask was cos

Today, after at least four months, if not longer, since I blocked them, I was approached by one of our mutuals, passing on the ask, if I would be willing to talk to them about why I cut them off

I felt helpless in the face of the question, cos the thought of talking to them now filled me with dread

Eventually I had to just go NC, just block them everywhere. Every time I had previously brought up an issue, it felt like they didn't register it as such. I eventually started feeling like maybe it wasn't a big deal, but I noticed that I felt so diminished after every time we shared space.
