There are a lot of things that are different about bf(f) in comparison to Ryan. Obviously. But tonight I realized something, and it feels kinda big.

My… sophomore? Year of college? I think? I started seeing the counsellor at my school. Ryan and I’s relationship was a major topic. I started seeing her after I tried to break up with him for the first time. I didn’t vibe with her all that well, but a couple of the things she said to me in those sessions stuck with me. One thing, especially.

She asked me what I liked about him. Him, specifically. Not things I liked about being in a relationship in general. But what I liked about him that was different from any other theoretical person I could be in a relationship. And I didn’t have an answer for that. And for years after that, I asked myself that question over and over again. And I only ever came up with one thing. And it was a very trivial thing.

So that question is… significant to me. What do I like about a potential partner that is exclusive to them?

And with bf(f), I already can list so many things.

There’s physical attributes. Like his dimples, and his teeth. His teeth are so nice, and his front two top teeth are ever so slightly misaligned from not wearing his retainer. Maybe a millimeter off, if that. But that tiny discontinuity is so cute, my goodness.

And there’s mental attributes. His encyclopedia-like knowledge of cars. He knows which car has the same engine as another car of a totally different make, which car has the same wheelbase as this other model. His commitment to sincerely thanking every person in the service industry. The way he matches (if not surpasses) my love for animals and being kind to them.

And there’s the ways in which he treats me. He takes care of things for me without hesitation, in a way that doesn’t feel like he’s belittling me or implying I couldn’t do those things myself, but rather that he just wants to make things easier for me and allow me to not have to worry about it. He not only tolerates, but also seeks out affection, even in public. He can have a productive conversation when there’s a disagreement between us. One where he listens and actually considers what I’m saying and not only his viewpoint. Shoot, even the way he talks to me when we’re fooling around.

sorry if this is a stupid and/or weird question but your response to that anon talking about people experiencing orgasms during childbirth made me wonder if there's a certain point in development after which it'd be weird for pregnant people to have sex or masturbate, since after a certain point the fetus(?) can hear? like, should people do it quietly or does it just not really matter? sorry again but i am genuinely clueless

should. should pregnant people have sex quietly so their baby doesn't hear?

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

okay even assuming your unborn child can hear you fucking. it's like having sex in front of your stuffed animals or your dog, dude. they have absolutely no understand of what is going on. they don't give a shit. at no point is any person who has ever or will ever be born going to go "oooooh man I think hearing my parents fuck while I was in utero really fucked me up actually" that's not how anything works. they're too busy going "mmm yummy amniotic fluid" they do not know or care that sex is happening

I swear this is a consequence of the "life begins at conception" propaganda. Combined with the recurrent moral panic about "protecting children" (from knowledge).

Absolutely rancid combination of Christian morality with Christian morality.

I'm sad to say that the rise of fascism has been visible in my inbox for years as people become increasingly distrustful of their own bodies and pleasure. you see it in people's paranoia around becoming "porn addicts," their need for reassurance that a 24 year old isn't a predator for dating a 22 year old, their fears that they may have unwittingly committed assault by looking at another child's naked body when they were young, their insistence that consensual sex is impossible for anyone who has had a single drink or smoked a whiff of weed. people, especially young people, are doing a tremendous amount of work for fascism in terms of rigorously policing their own bodies and sexual expression, and they often don't even realize it.

When you say the words “aloe mask” and realize it sounds like AlloMask which sounds like a word I should copyright now so that when face transplants become more perfected and mainstream and commonly done I can make the big bucks when someone wants to name their proprietary face graft that

BF(F) DAY TOMORROW!!!!!

Heading out at like 9:45 tomorrow morning to drop the kids off, and then scootin’ on over to the airport in Grand Rapids. The drive wasn’t terrible last time but it DOES feel long when you have the quick drive to DTW freshly in mind. But oh well. It was cheaper.

Then flight!! Then BF(F)!!!!!

He’s taking me to dinner after he picks me up, and he won’t tell me where we’re going. But he said it’s the perfect restaurant for me. I am sooo eager to know what it isssss.

6 days until bf(f)!!!

I’m so freaking stoked to be together again.

We’ve come to the agreement that we’re taking things as they come, we don’t know what the future will hold for us, we don’t need to put a label on it. We’re best friends. We love each other. That’s all that matters.

I can’t wait to cuddle and hold hands and play pool and eat good food and kiss and go hike to some beautiful waterfalls in the mountains and meet the elderly Chinese lady he lives with and his family and fall asleep pressed against him.

So. Freaking. Close.

The world has irrevocably changed 😃

[so-much-for-subtlety]

There’s also already five cases of cops stalking their wives, mistresses, ex-girlfriends, ex-girlfriends new boyfriend etc like this - there no warrant required, no supervision around who or when cops can access these systems.

Police departments don’t even have systems in place for when cops retire or fired to make sure their Flock credentials are revoked. Crazy days.
