CHORE IVE PUT OFF FOR 2 MONTHS DONE RAAAAAARGHHHHH POWER OF THE DRAGON

[lizzibennet]

my mom’s been telling me my entire life she and my dad met at a bar which BOOOO BORING but today she just casually mentions actually she placed a fuckin ad in the newspaper saying she was ‘a single lady ready to meet the one’ and he was the first to call her and they dated over the phone for like three months before they met n she was like “i was already pretty much in love with him because i adored his laugh on the phone” ????? What kinda 90s romcom bullshit

[lizzibennet]

btw the first time they met in person apparently was because my grandpa fuckin uhhh died? and my dad called my mom inconsolable and she went over to console him and literally just kinda ?? never left???? ehakdhskdhskfjdkdh this bitch’s been telling me they very casually met at a bar can you beLEAF no wonder me and my brother were born fuckin drama queens

[lizzibennet]

me: so you placed an ad? in the newspaper? telling men who were interested in fathering children a beautiful woman to call you? like a person advertising property they want to sell?

my mom, pokerfaced: yes that is exactly what i did

me: mom.

mom: it’s not that different from tinder!

me: you know i read a fanfic once where that was the exact plot of how the two characters met. except it was set in the nineteenth century!!!

mom:

mom: bet you thought it was hot

me: NOT THE POINT

[lizzibennet]

apparently. when they had their very first date my dad mentioned his daughter (my sister on his side) and my mom was like :( because she really wanted children and he just patted her hand and was like “don’t worry! we’ll have children of our own.” HDLSHDSKDHDK THE AUDACITY OF THIS MAN? ON THEIR FIRST DATE??? HELLO?

[lizzibennet]

me: so dad what did you think about mom’s ad in the newspaper

my dad, curt: it was cool i guess.

me:

me: did you not think it was weird at all? why did you call her specifically and not anyone else?

dad: no it was common back then. idk i liked the font she chose for the ad

my mom, from the kitchen: it was standard issue from the paper for the ads to look like that

dad: oh… guess it was fate then :)

me:

dad:

mom:

me: did you feel that? did you feel the breeze that just passed?

dad: yeah?

me: that was because mom just melted in the kitchen

mom, from the kitchen, voice clearly a little choked: NO I DID NOT

personal ads were WILD and very common pre-dating apps!! they’re basically the origin of Craigslist and equally fascinating– I Know You’re Out There: Private Longings, Public Humiliations, and Other Tales from the Personals by Michael Beaumier is a wonderful read written by a former editor for the personals, you can buy it for cheap or read for free here! it’s a wonderful reminder that people have been tender and weird and hopeful about romance forever, only our approaches change c’:

Friend group chats are fun. Today one of my friends, who keeps pet crayfish, found babies in a tank that was supposed to be a males only. No choice but to empty out the whole tank to fish out the babies of unknowable origins. But lo and behold, there was a culprit: one teeny tiny little female had somehow escaped containment, evidently specifically going out of her way to break into this all male tank to get railed by like 15 males twice her size. Possibly completely different breed, too. Monsterfucker supreme.

So for a good solid hour or so, the whole group chat was focused on. slutshaming this one specific little crustacean. With like 300 babies.

HOW AM I JUST NOW LEARNING that there's a 90s cartoon about a crossdressing vigilante hunting down zombies who looks like THIS:

with the goons in question being led by a little kid who uses 'YOU FOOLS' in every other sentence named JOSE VON REICHTER.

[soylent-robot]

dont put the name of the show in the post or anything helpeful tho

[shoehedd]

Doing some digging and it's called Cybersix, based on an Argentinian comic book but created in English, never fully aired in the US and I think was censored there, but all 13 eps were shown in Canada. It's apparently on Hulu atm but I have no idea in what form

HTH :D

[lumsel]

a bunch of minority communities have this attitude that goes, like, "those outsiders don't get you like we do. they hate you. we don't hate you. you're one of us. you're safe here, with us." and every time it triggers a virulent antibody response in me. fuck off!! you don't know me!!! and i sure as shit don't feel safe among you lot!!!! it, like, turns a shared oppression into some cult shit and i hate it for that.

It also moves remarkably quickly from 'yes, all members of ingroup have a natural affinity with one another' to 'that person who disagrees with me isn't *really* a member of the ingroup; don't be like that person'

[queeranarchism]

& of course 'that outsider who tries to warn you about the behavior of the ingroup is really just a person who secretly hates you'.

“oh I’m too old for stuffed animals” skill issue. sorry you can’t appreciate little creatures made to hang out with you, I on the other hand am full of joyous whimsy and therefore vastly superior.
