Growing With Life

Howdy I'm 28, I am trans (FTF - female to Faggot), gay and just doing my best. Working on being happy again; got t90 surgery, quit my awful job, joining education again and looking forward to time with friends.

Hey if you have chronic pain, you gotta remember that the cognitive load of dealing with that is exhausting. Just that alone. Never mind what else you've got going on.

You're not lazy or being dramatic; you're overloaded.

Addition that definitely should not be hiding in the comments:

it also burns more carbs. cognitive and emotional processing takes calories; if youve been upset all day or studying math and you get hit with a WILD donut craving, your brain is telling you to Refuel and you Should, prontolike. it's not eating your feelings, it's keeping your brain fueled when it's working hard

[Video description: Gritty is turning the crank on a flagpole to raise the Progress Pride Flag. He gesticulates angrily that the flag is not blowing in the wind, then gestures offscreen. The flag begins blowing. As Gritty begins raising the flag more, the camera pans out to show a man in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a stern Secret Service agent, is holding a leafblower that points at the flag. End description.]

This is actually such a huge thing for an actor to do. Like we know he is wonderful and correct about this and not afraid to say so but when was the last time an actor this famous called for a boycott of a series this popular on a network THIS BIG.

In the Year of the Horse, let us all truly appreciate what this mythical creature has done for surrealist memes. I don’t think there is another animal that has inspired such unhinged internet images. We should all be both eternally grateful and forever afraid.

Apparently one type of deer hunting practiced in the Middle Ages was using “stalking horses” which involves crouching behind horse in a forest and slowly guiding it towards a deer that’s been tracked because deer are not frightened by the sight of other tall quadrupeds and I like how “horses as a form of camouflage” is belongs to the list of uses for domestic horses

[elodieunderglass]

Thank you @chiropteracupola ! “Stalking horse” is still a phrase and one whose meaning is easy to remember, I think

I will always take the cat's side. "she's drooling on me" you're so lucky "he always wants to be petted" then pet him "he's mad I won't let him on my desk" make room on your desk for him. I am your cat's defense lawyer and the cat is always innocent on the grounds of them being A Little Kitty Cat.

*checks urban legend notes* Victor Hugo was closer to God than any of us?

[gayweeddaddy69]

idk man I've read Les Miserables, I think it's fair to say that his empathy and compassion for the sex worker is not merely transactional. I don't think there's a contradiction there, and I don't think the prostitutes of Paris were mourning just for their best client. I think he saw worthy and valuable people everywhere, and people felt that.

[gayweeddaddy69]

also yeah dude fucked like a rat on bath salts

[majestictortoise]

puttering around the house is an underrated form a self-care. make some tea or coffee. put on a podcast. sort the mail. tidy some pillows and fold some blankets. start the laundry. thaw some soup. just casually wander around aimlessly doing little things to make your space and life a little nicer. who cares if you get distracted or only do a little. you aren't being productive. you're puttering.

[libraford]

Listen, I'm having fun playing with the ultra patriotic voice, but after a couple years in blue-collar landscaping jobs, you really do need to phrase things like that.

"I'm pretty sure that fella ain't here legally."

"Well, that ain't your business Chip, it's his."

They hate being preached to. If you pull out words like 'gender wage gap' they'll tell you you're brainwashed by the far left media.

"He's one of them transgenders."

"He got freedoms too, Jimmy."

[weshallbekind]

Also, please understand that SO often the real issue these people have is that they just want to say something inappropriate. They don't like being told they can't say "fag", so they'd say it for a reaction, just like a teenager would.

Shut down the conversation without reacting.

"His dick, not mine" will get you much further to shutting that guy down than "well it's really inappropriate to call someone a slur while I'm the job site".

And that's the point. To shut them up. To make them quit saying shit like that. The first one makes him seem kinda weird for caring about what that guy does with his dick. The second one gives him something to fight against and make a big deal about.
