At least, I haven’t heard anyone but me say it in real life yet.

He’s a Goldendoodle!

Your father and my father probably would’ve gotten along.

He is a beautiful cinnamon roll, too good for that station, too pure

I wonder how hard it would be to convince dolphins to find those mines and then slip them to the yacht-attacking orcas.

Some days it’s a crime that the phrase “I am 30 or 40 years old and I do not need this” hasn’t entered the general lexicon.

Me: I’d like to see the doctor; I hurt my knee.
Scheduler: Ok. How did you injure it?
Me: I have no idea.
Scheduler (skeptical): You don’t remember a particular incident?
Me, outwardly calm: No, but it started very suddenly.
Me, inwardly: Bestie, I just told you my birthdate was in the 1900s—

From education to creativity to social interaction, techbros keep inventing tech to skip things they find hard or dull, and are genuinely confused we don’t crave the same
liberation they do.

Mental stability? In this economy?

A large golden doodle facing away from the camera, with his nose in the air. His coat and especially his tail are extremely fluffy.

Fluff level: off the charts

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

Street mural of Harriet Tubman reaching toward the viewer with a helping hand. A little girl facing the mural is in the foreground for scale. Artist: Michael Rosato. The mural, painted in 2019, is located behind 424 Race Street in Cambridge, MD on the exterior wall of the Harriet Tubman Museum and Education Center.

Did you know that tomorrow, March 10th marks the National Day of Rest for Black Women, a day created to center rest, reflection, and renewal? It's also the anniversary of Harriet Tubman’s passing, honoring her powerful legacy of courage, resistance, and liberation.

Yeah, it puts me in a really bad place to hear him tell lie after lie after lie.

I’m glad your friend has you. ❤️

Even some therapists have a hard time with this, in my experience. It’s really emotionally wrenching to see the pattern and be unable to stop it. Much easier to distance yourself. I think I owe my life to some people who stood by me in that situation.

All of this to say: if you’ve ever been on the receiving end of abuse and you’re feeling especially triggered watching the news these days, it may be because you’re picking up on this pattern.

What happened is real.
Abusers find excuses to do what they want to do.
It is not your fault.

Look what you made me do.

We didn’t bomb the school.
Well, we did bomb the building, but it was really a terrorist base so they had it coming.
We had to do it, really. They would’ve killed us if we didn’t kill them first.

Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim and Offender.

This is also an extremely effective strategy for anyone who, hypothetically, wants to justify criminal acts, such as launching an illegal war.

DARVO is an extremely effective way of ensuring that abuse victims can’t stand up for themselves, because it makes the victim question reality on two levels: did it happen like I thought? And if it did, did I deserve it? This is very difficult to fight, mentally.

DARVO stands for
Deny;
Attack;
Reverse Victim and Offender.

For instance: “I never pushed you! And if I did, it was because you deserved it! You’re always doing things on purpose to upset me and make me angry!”

It recently came to my attention that a friend who escaped an abuser wasn’t familiar with DARVO, an acronym for understanding how abusers operate. So we’re all going to have a little education tonight:

he’s gonna give a speech in front of an AI generated banner that says, “ŃMIMMS1ØN ACĞŒMPLISSHEP”

GDI, I just lost what very little street cred I had. I was never gonna catch up to you on tattoos but until now I was at least in the running for piercings.

Fking MADDENING textile behavior.

hot tub isn’t enough. I need to be ground down to a perfect sphere through 100 years of tidal action

I need a sword

“We should be mad about this and not that” confuses me. Do you not have unlimited rage reserves??? Because that and yarn are really the only things I have an excess of. It’s why rage knitting works so well for me.

The internet, on scientists: They're secretive gatekeepers, they hoard esoterica/the truth, they don't want anyone in their ivory tower little clubs
