Just a quick thought: I encounter way more 'White Hats' or 'good guys' that are antagonistic and ooc problematic than bad guys. I've encountered way more communication and community in antagonistic spheres barring a few jarring examples.
Sadly these examples tend to be the only antagonists people care about or remember
.
So I don't buy the 'Assholes are the only people who are likely to play villains' argument.'
Pls bring the hog pit back. Opt in, of course. Sometimes I need to scream into the void an occasionally when the void screams back it contains a grain of truthiness that I need in that moment.. but I can't spleen on mildly constructive..it feels wrong.
Lost my shit and forgot there was a person behind the screen. Doesn't matter why..or whatever was happening at the time..
I hurt someone. Absolutely the worst thing I've done in this hobby.
Everything makes me sad right now.
Having social anxiety and being exposed to CNN and/or the weather channel these last few weeks has been exhausting.
I'm fighting my social anxiety to reach out to make sure people I never contact or page or talk to ooc are safe.
I'd like to exchange my today.. it appears to be broken
I really cannot believe that this person keeps getting passes. If we want to concern ourselves with actions that are unhealthy for the community and/or individuals who are no longer part of it who feel compelled to return every so often to remind us all how we are -insert opinions here- for still taking part in said hobby.. like are warnings per thread? If a week passes do warnings reset? Are we talking warnings per admin, or does two warnings from one admin then more from another admin not count as consecutive? Is it okay because of who it is? Is it okay because they post the most? What even are the ethics here? Especially in mildly constructive.
Im not a therapist but I will say what mine tells me when -someone elses voice- tries to alienate or shame me for being different, experiencing or processing in my own way. Whomever needs to hear it after this absolute shitpost: You're not gross. You're not creepy. Fantasy is absolutely natural whether s-ual or not. Likenesses being used happens in all genres and thats okay (barring profit). Its okay to have human experiences and feelings. Give yourself some grace.
Dont let people who keep coming back to express how much better they are because they "don't like/participate/respect the same things you do" anymore get under the skin. And question why people who you believe are usually sensible people give it a pass.
No not a person..applets and cotlets, the treat my grandpa and I bonded over.. is not going to exist. I know it's a bit silly but I get some every year to remember him by.
When a song can remind you of the most awful IC drama that both players mutually agreed on that led to tons of ic development. When that memory makes you smile and miss the person in the best way.
(This happens for both people who've moved on for rl and people I've grown apart from)

Hello,
I'm hoping this is the appropriate place to drop this. There's a lot going on for me and my husband. We've finally hit the point where we can no longer squeeze blood from stone...
Thanks for reading this.

@Ganymede I can always check, I know i dont have Aflac but there might be a safety net I've missed. Thank you for the advice!
I just need to scream into the void for a hot minute. In February I was hospitalized for a week. I am still reeling from that financial responsibility but because I needed to be hospitalized longer I went into an intensive program which has kept me put of work since February, we've already done one rent extension and I've run out of pmla.. we had already had to prioritize food over rent and rent over bills..
I still have 2 weeks of treatment. In those two weeks I'll not have any pfmla and no pay. The kicker, because I make a reasonable living [Which is still not nearly enough to start savings in the PNW] I am also not able to access most rental assistance programs.
I needed this time to recover. I needed the rest. But it's too costly amd now I need to look at canceling my remaining specialist appointments..
Thank you for coming to my MEHdTalk.
@Macha Sadly no, but one of my specialists is referring me to another one that specializes in my issue. Now it's just a waiting game.
My PCP refuses to listen to me. I'm literally getting worse by the week but she simply cannot believe my health issues are eating me alive. Every week I get worse.
I have 4 days a month for appointments or disability related problems and have had that for years.. and it's not working anymore.
She's a wonderful PCP , but this seems like her one blind spot.
That is my peeve.
