I’ve started my training to become a Peer Support Specialist. It sounds potentially very intense but this is a way that I can help people and make a difference. While I don’t have a history with substance abuse (something that many PSS and clients do,) my nearly lifelong struggles with anxiety/depression and my gender studies major in college are useful for this. As a queer person I’m also in a fa... » Continue Reading
Please, if you have the means to, KEEP YOUR CATS INSIDE. Our sweet boy Lynx was found today trapped in vines behind our house. I’ve cried a lot tonight. He must’ve been so scared. I will never advocate for outdoor cats. Being outside isn’t safe for them at all. This could’ve been prevented if we didn’t have a doggy door. Nothing can bring your furry family back once they’re gone. I’ve lost three c... » Continue Reading
I’m so damn tired of scammers contacting me. Usually they’re extremely obvious and I just block them. The ones that can actually hold a conversation and feign interest in me are harder to ignore. I don’t have friends, at least not friends that I can talk to in person and spend time with. While these scammers are fishing for my info it also feels like they’re preying on my loneliness. » Continue Reading
I knew that I was being catfished and I was waiting for this fucker to ask for money. Just waiting .

Thank god I was only talking to this person for a few weeks so ... » Continue Reading
Beautiful? Adorable? This flesh prison that I’ve come to hate, that’s attractive to you? My body can’t even work right; it sabotages me with pain and horrible feelings in my brain. Crooked spine, struggling organs, I want to get a new one please! I wasn’t built right. The numbers don’t make sense, I can’t focus even on the important things. Trouble understanding social queues, embarrassing myself ... » Continue Reading
Born to be a pack animal, forced to live in a dystopian hellscape where there’s a loneliness epidemic. There’s a reason so many teenagers (and some adults) are turning to talking to AI. It’s something that isn’t even sentient so you’re talking to yourself in a way. Everyone’s fucking lonely but we’re too intimidated by other people. We’re forgetting how to socialize. We’re distrusting of each oth... » Continue Reading
I thought I made a potential new friend here when they started messaging me but then they send me a message that was the classic “I take art commissions” line when I didn’t ask. It was pretty much verbatim what I’ve seen on sites like twitter and bluesky. So sad. » Continue Reading
