No Day But Today

When a chapter ends, don't close the book; just turn the page.

I regret moving back to Texas.

You’ve had a problem with everything I’ve said or done all damn day. I need a break.

[letsgosavesomelives]

I didn’t fucking yell at you. I asked you to turn the movie off you said you would and then just let it keep playing through important fucking parts and then got upset with me for asking you to turn it off again. This is fucking stupid I can’t ever do anything right

[letsgosavesomelives]

Holy cow you’re codependent. I love you dearly but my lord. I am not the kind to just sit on the phone for hours multiple days in a row. We aren’t even talking anymore. Neither of us are even in the frame. This is dumb. This is like the 5th 30-60 minute call today and I don’t even have that long until you want me to call again before bed.

Dunno about dating a stoner again.

[letsgosavesomelives]

I was right. That is all.

[letsgosavesomelives]

She’s gonna leave me

[letsgosavesomelives]

“I think I love you”

“Huh?”

“You heard me”

[letsgosavesomelives]

I said it back.

[letsgosavesomelives]

Him: I have so much to do

Also him: lists normal every day shit like eating. Letting the dog pee.

[letsgosavesomelives]

Also I’m willing to bet my entire paycheck he spent the first half of the day watching dumb shit on the tv.

We are NOT together. Quit acting like we are. And no I’m not taking fucking supplements because I don’t want to have sex with you every fucking night. Right now I don’t want any fucking sex with you.

So I hate facetime but have two small nephews who live very far away and wanted them to know who I was. So when second nephew was born, I started sending first nephew (4 years old) a postcard every week.

The content wasn't anything special. I made cookies, I saw this flower, my cats did this. He likes trucks and machinery so I scoured redbubble for anything related to machinery and got a giant batch of machine postcards. Whenever I traveled, I'd hunt down a postcard for him.

My second nephew turned four this year, and I started sending him postcards as well. Both of them like Pokemon now, so mostly it's been double Pokemon postcards every week. I don't hear much from them, or my sister, so I just generally hope they're enjoyed and try to remember to mail them before Sunday.

However. This week my mom informed me second nephew likes the postcards SO MUCH he brings them into daycare to show around. And when I shared that with my sister, she told me not only does he bring them into daycare, he sleeps with them at naptime.

The only higher honor would be for her to tell me he's eating them.

can i stress the importance of boundary setting? of being able to say no? if you want to be able to play with this shit, or really engage sexually at all, you need to be able to look someone in the eye and say “i don’t want this.”

[hound-mother]

if you can’t look me in the eye and say No, if you haven’t demonstrated an ability to voice discomfort when you feel it, you are not a safe partner and i do not want to play with you.

Y'all want to know what thought is fucking with me today?

Parrots can learn the concept of questions. I don't know about the claim that chimpanzees that were taught sign language never learned to ask questions, or the theory that it simply wouldn't occur to them that the human handlers might know things that they personally do not, or that whatever information they have might be worth knowing. But I don't even remember where I read that, and at best it's an anecdote of an anecdote, but anyway, parrots.

The exact complexity of natural parrot communication in the wild is beyond human understanding for the time being, but you can catch glimpses of how complex it is by looking at how much they learn to pick up from human speech. Sure, they figure out that this sound means this object, animal, person, or other thing. Human says "peanut" and presents a peanut, so the sound "peanut" means peanut. Yes. But if you make the same sound with a rising intonation, you are inquiring about the possibility of a peanut.

A bird that's asking "peanut?" knows there is no peanut physically present in the current situation, but hypothetically, there could be a peanut. The human knows whether there will be a peanut. The bird knows that making this specific human sound with this specific intonation is a way of requesting for this information, and a polite way of informing the human that a peanut is desired.

"I get a peanut?" is a polite spoken request. There is no peanut here, but there could be a peanut. The bird knows that the human knows this. But without the rising intonation of a question, the statement "I get a peanut." is a firm implied threat. There is no peanut here, but there better fucking be one soon. The bird knows that the human knows this.
