Got severe food poisoning and ended up in the ER after eating a tainted wrap from a deli
This was the second time
I planned my end of July weekend vacation around February. We have a senior dog who needs special attention, so it’s often hard to find someone to watch her.
It only contains copies of 50 Shades of Gray and Ayn Rand
Probably around 2 years in or so. It’s not a light switch, it’s more like a dimmer.
I’m a trans woman, have been transitioning for 10 years. It’s really hit or miss whether or not people can clock me. I’ve had friends know me for two years without knowing I was trans.
Men ogle and catcall me frequently, it’s annoying as fuck since I’m not even straight. It’s flattering when queer women hit on me though. I’ve been both catcalled and misgendered within the same block. I also tend to have a strong social presence which is both a blessing and a curse.
Also, men cannot take no as an answer. I often pretend I have a boyfriend since creeps are more respectful of imaginary men than real women.
I would spend the entirety of my time being creative and working on art
I’m a performer, which means that I will listen to the same song probably hundreds of times while I write an act to it. My Spotify wrapped is literally just all the songs I performed that year (no Spotify, no one actually enjoys Imagine Dragons). I’ll sometimes hear the songs in my sleep. Send help pls.
Both are technically correct
Literally anything that smells like seafood will make me nauseous
I can hammer nails and icepicks into my head. I’m very fire resistant and eat fire. I have a split tongue. I can keep my eyes open for a VERY long time.
TBF I’m a sideshow and fire performer so I’m cheating
Libertarians are Republicans that smoke weed. They are identical at their core.
I believe there’s a coffee and campari drink that’s similar
Negronis are my absolute favorite drink, but most people I know hate them. Absinthe is just as divisive.
I’ve learned that I don’t give a shit if a martini is shaken OR stirred. They’re all fucking disgusting. I love gin, but who the fuck thought super salty gin would taste good? The olive is the only good part of the whole thing.
Except for espresso martinis, those are good.
I will take all of your olives
My perspective is slightly different since I’m a trans woman (have been for 10yr), but I was also raised by just my dad.
The main things I learned from him that have actually been useful are things like how to use a variety of tools and do basic handyman type jobs around my living space. I learned a lot of hard skills from him, but not so much soft skills. I can comfortably fix a toilet, patch a wall, or mount a TV. I also picked up the basics of firearms and engines from him, though I haven’t had to use that knowledge yet. The things that have been useful that I had to learn on my own were how to cook, how to sew, and how to clean.
I wish he had let me explore my emotions a bit more. I learned to repress my feelings and now struggle with that a bit in adulthood.
The best advice I can give is to be open and give her space to talk about what’s troubling her. Be an active listener, and don’t shrug her off when she’s sad or angry. Encourage her to learn hard skills that may be useful in the future, but also don’t be hesitant to learn soft skills alongside her. Let her practice styling your hair or painting your nails if she wants to. Gender norms are outdated anyways. More than anything, love, respect, and trust her.

yoo- sounds so weird and unnatural to me
Nope, a hundred miles apart
