Also, the horrible part is not knowing if *anyone* is a safe person. Narcs can keep up the charade all their lives :(.

My best friend lives in Washington State--about 2500 miles from me. She used to live basically up the road from me. She's wonderful.

Unsure if you know: Bluesky has a "moderation" setting where you can type in individual words to filter out (you can still search for them if you want to yourself). I have filtered out a *lot* of things lately.

Yes. I have a big plushy kitty I've mentioned I think, and it has huge sentimental value because my brother got it for me, and he's the only other person on this planet that I know who is going through what I'm going through and not dead yet.

My neighbor keeps bringing up packages when they get delivered

I've thanked them once, but I don't dare to again so soon.

My neighbor happens to be female, and men are the cause of the destruction of decency and humanity.

Being a man, I don't want to possibly intimidate them.

I hate men. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

What I wrote just now:

I just want to sob in a safe person's arms until my trauma gets healed. Lack of social interaction is my biggest issue by far. I don't want to hear others' stories right now; not because I'm not caring, but cuz I'd get triggered.

They don't offer services like that do they?

I cannot look at the news. I'd get triggered *badly*

It got up to 67 degrees today.

So naturally I had my first "hey let's buzz random people's apartments" little shit.

Diggs will end up on the Raiders. Pretty dang sure about that one. If he's even in the league at that point.

If I were Geno I'd pass the physical, then retire. The Jets are a complete mess and have been because Woody Johnson for a very long time.

Geno probably shouldn't waste his time or possibly injury for that organization.

Newest Testament. Outstanding. New drummer is an extreme metal drummer. It brings the band to new levels.

Hey, you. Trauma survivor (even if no one in your world knows it) who is up tonight wondering if it's possible, worth the effort, or realistic to keep on going & try to repair this sh*t-- or if anyone gives a f*ck?

It is, and I do.

Btw: on social media you might want to put a copyright symbol (ยฉ) on your stuff here, either copy/pasted or, if you're using Windows 11 on a desktop: Alt + 0169

I'm trying to get into sketching and drawing myself. I'm self-teaching for the moment but that could change.

Waddaya think?

I think, in this day and age of chaos and absurdity, *everyone* should be wearing adult diapers for their own comfort.

Not really kidding :/

You know, Captain Marvel is not a bad movie.

I think that traditional values-types and morons disliked it because it featured empowered women.

Certain people in this world *really* need a lot of hugs, if they'd allow them. The hugs might start a break in the facade, in what they're clinging to.

I know it worked for me.
