2024 is going to be a good year. I love my people. I can't wait to spend my time with them. Family doesn't have to be borne of birth and bloodline.

[Alieum Spoop ✨🛸 @PockyParade]

Regardless of where they fit in my past.
There's a reason they're not in my present.
Lessons learned, I appreciate all of them for those... genuinely... Thank-you

[Alieum Spoop ✨🛸 @PockyParade]

Long story short: I owe nobody an explanation for my *logical* and *reasonable* behavior, and I'm cool with it, even if they aren't.

[Alieum Spoop ✨🛸 @PockyParade]

And that's okay.
In fact, that's more than okay. There's actually an enormous degree of satisfaction to be discovered in that place, which is: uncanny and bizarre, but true.

[Alieum Spoop ✨🛸 @PockyParade]

I held on with the hope of reconciliation. I thought, hm, if time passes enough, maybe we can just talk about X, Y, and Z fucked up thing this person did that I can't get over, that they're pretending they *didn't do*?

But now I realize mmm.... Not worth it.

I heard something recently that I really like: Sometimes people come into our lives to teach us something.

As I look back on these old relationships, I have to agree, and it makes me warm, and smile, because now, what once really bothered me, just seems right.

[Alieum Spoop ✨🛸 @PockyParade]

Sometimes, I regret the way things have gone with friends of past. This time of year teaches reconciliation, amending rifts in relationships, being the bigger man, and all that good stuff. It seems like a great time to do these things then, and turn over a new leaf.

The reason I'm posting today... it's the end of the year. I usually don't make new year resolutions, so maybe I'll make a new year promise instead; to myself.

I loved Twitter. It's not Twitter anymore, though.

[Alieum Spoop ✨🛸 @PockyParade]

I've consciously avoided posting here for a very long time, ever since I left the RP spaces here that once thrived.

Sadly, this site has turned into a spiraling crap shoot....you can't trust anything you see here anymore, regardless of community notes, so it's...a waste of time.

@GoreNielsen @VABVOX @KevinMKruse While that's a true generalization, it's also an irrelevant one, considering that he is making the choice to leave because it's what will make him happy.

[Alieum Spoop ✨🛸 @PockyParade]

@GoreNielsen @VABVOX @KevinMKruse He's a human being. A person's interest and career does not indebt them to serve the masses. The responsibility to keep yourself informed does not rest on the shoulders of others.

As of today, I've had 30 days of an active COVID infection. If I test positive tomorrow, it will mark a full month with COVID. Whenever my fiance tells ppl how long I've had it, jaws drop. These new strains are beyond damaging, and it's time to wake-up.

This thread is why I am in HR.

Op, I respectfully disagree. We have tools, even if they're not powerful. It may take time and effort, but it can be done. This person's approach to this with you reflects on them personally. Blame both the system AND their complacency within it.

Reminds me of Israel prohibiting Palestinians from using certain roads.

Roadside pregnancy tests coming to a highway patrol near you

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

I have never heard of this tactic before but apparently, Texas counties are passing ordinances banning travel on highways for out of state abortions.

Expect to see this used for families taking trans youth to get their care out of state as well in the next year.

“Special needs” are not a characteristic of disability.
“Special needs” are a manifestation of ableism.

But I am now an adult & I dont need that survival skill anymore so I go to therapy & set boundaries everyday for my wellbeing. Because the adults in my young life refused to heal and grow I now have to unlearn their BULLSHIT. We shed anything that no longer serves our growth. 🙏🏾

[Lovette✍🏾 @lovettejallow]

I wasnt born people pleasing, pre-empting peoples needs before mine and then reacting in a wild victimization manner when they fell short in my expectations. I was a child in a volatile home that developed it to survive because the adults around me were unpredictable.
