@ask_aubry I asked Wil Wheaton for a hug at a convention. He let me know he’s not the most comfortable with hugs and I apologized because I didn’t know. He offered a hand squeeze instead, which honestly felt even more powerful than a hug. 😇
@hcarolineking When my cousin started homeschooling her kids I warned her about becoming one of those obnoxious Instagram homeschool moms who literally talks about nothing else.
Which she promptly became.
@clhubes I was an accessory to deception at DLR last weekend when a kid asked about WoC and I helpfully supplied the time. The mom looked at me and said “No no it was canceled tonight!” with *that* look and I noticed how tired she was. 🤣 So I was all “oh right I forgot, sorry kid”.
@ask_aubry When I got my wisdom teeth out they gave me ibuprofen, but told my grandma (who took care of me post-op) Percocet would also be acceptable if I needed it. I can’t even imagine those lovely people looking either one of us in the face and telling us women handle pain better.
@Theholisticpsyc I’m very fortunate to have a therapist who offers a sliding scale. I wish more people knew about that option, but I also wish it was more of an option to begin with.
@ask_aubry This is the exact face that very small children make when they don’t get what they want. No real tears, they’re not actually sad, just mouth open wailing because they didn’t get their way and they’re big angy.
@urdrupe LEGIT I was standing in the kitchen making rolls and I was all “I know she did NOT just call him Jim *Henderson*” and I was literally praying I just misheard because I was standing so far away
