  • My last job, they didn't fully train me because tjey were "too busy", then when they paid for me to do a live online course at work, they gave me the incorrect machine to work on and the instructor was scolding me the whole time because they couldn't properly give me directions, while the other students were poking fun at me.

    Not only that, but I had to mute my mic because because my coworkers kept shouting and using loud machinery in the background.

    It was absolutely mortifying.

  • Group of juggalos living out in the woods in Washington saved my life by helping me ditch a r×pist who was traveling with our caravan.

    They did stuff like help out at the food pantries, told us the best places to go for free/low-cost supplies, and sabotaged the construction area for the Walmart often enough for it to be delayed for a loooong time.

    I always think you gotta check with the people before you assume anything, but, from what I have experienced, they are scarily enthusiastic yet genuinely cool folks. Majority seem to be supportive of LGBTQ+ kinda stuff. 👍

  • It's quite a bit older than that. 1800s, I believe? A "spinster" was a women who got a job spinning/weaving fabric, which was one of the few jobs women were allowed at the time, and they were paid for it! Very well, iirc.

    So a woman earning her own income and able to support herself, not being required to marry in order to live comfortably.

  • Exotic shorthair.

    My sweet boy was an exotic I picked up from Craigslist for his shelter adoption fee. New family realized he was "too gross" for their white-walled, white-carpeted home.

    Was the sweetest boy ever. Loving towards everyone and simply fearless! Just always looked angry. Miss you, Waluigi.

  • Hun, put on a jacket!

  • "Clean up after yourself."

  • Short answer: yes.

    My prescribed stimulant curbs a lot of anxiety. Unmedicated me will often not leave my home for weeks.

  • Finally! Someone with a good opinion. ❤️

  • It was more difficult, but also more peaceful. I was no longer walking on eggshells, wondering what would set my partner off that day. Constantly having to manage your partner's emotions take so much out of you.

    I honestly feel like, even though it's a bit more work, it's nothing compared to doing it all anyway plus having to manage the daily life/emotions/well-being of an able-bodied adult.

    I'm just happy to finally be free.

  • Oh man, that brought back memories.. my BPD ex would find ways to """""accidentally""""" physically harm me and then immediately go "oooooh baby I'm so sorry!! I'm so clumsy and careless!!!!" to get away with it.

    Found that out when he came home late, I was in bed and awake because I heard him come in, but I cracked my eyes a bit. He came into the room, saw me on the bed with the hallway light, clearly examined me there, then he threw his whole body FULL WEIGHT onto me with his elbow (he was NOT a small man) and bruised the absolute fuck out of me. Same shit. "Oooh I didn't see you there omggg!!!" Lying bastard.

    It's always after they marry you or when it's most difficult for you to leave when it comes out.

    We are no longer married. 👍

  • """"Memes""""" that are actually just barely disguised political opinions.

    I need some humor in my life that doesn't blend with political current events.

    Thank you. 🙏
