Since I haven't been able to get online and steam a live auction because I've been sick. I have a ton of holiday jewelry that I'm selling. Everything is 3 dollars unless otherwise stated. I've made everything buy it now. I do bundle shipping. And accept reasonable offers. Sign up through the link below and have fun shopping. I will hav a separate store up soon. As i r been mainly bedridden I've been working diligently building that.

I'm gonna say it. The answer isn't to ban social media for kids. It's not gonna do shit. The answer is community. The answer is to fund after school programs. Fund art programs, music programs, make sports for kids more affordable. Implement common sense gun laws so kids can go outside without the risk of being shot. Kids are just gonna find other ways to get on those social platforms. Or they're gonna lie about their age, putting them more at risk of coming up against a piece of garbage. Kids aren't addicted to social media. They're bored! They need stuff to do.
Not every relationship has to be perfect, and I get that the point of a soap opera is to be a drama. But I've always maintained this, we never get to see happy lesbian couples on TV. There's always some kind of bad, or a breakup or murder or r*pe or cheating.
Is it true to real life? Sure it can be. But the same repetitive storylines do such a disservice to the queer community. Especially lesbian parings. With Marin, they've never truly been happy. There's always been a marriage, a man, or someone standing in their way. Now we got Fina having to make a choice between Marta or Bianca or the possibility of a breakup. For what? Shitty storytelling? I can tell you as a viewer, this does not keep me engaged. It actually infuriates me and makes me not want to watch. And you can tell me time and time again to give it a chance but how can I when I as a lesbian viewer, been burned at every lesbian storyline out there.
SDL had the opportunity to tell an incredible love story about their reunion, they had the opportunity to show reconnection and love without the boundaries that stood before, they had the opportunity to show a story about the acceptance by Marta's family, and Mafin not having to hide in their own home. Instead, the chose to have Fina still be in relationship, lie to Marta, have the reconcile only to bring back Bianca at some point and cause major conflict. Or possibly a breakup. There was so much potential, so much more than the same bs storylines we are fed over and over again. But no, they chose to squander it like every other storyline out there.
It's sad that queer owned tv networks hardly survive because we as a community need to be telling our own storylines.
The fact that it's 2026 and writers still can't write a decent lesbian storyline that doesn't involve a man, cheating, pregnancy or death is asinine.
There's so many other ways to tell a dramatic story without all that.
I know better than to trust anyone writing a queer storyline for tv. I do. And yet I had high hopes. Award winning writers my ass. This storyline is trash.
No, it's one thing to have Fina having left a life she wanted in Argentina. It's another to have her cheat. Not acceptable. A betrayal of who Fina really is as a person. No, absolutely not.
Sigh, I know fina moved Marta and i understand that this is a big change for her since she built a new life, but can I rant for a second. I'm really kinda tired of this whole, lesbians can't be happy storylines that we always get.
Someone always has to lie, or keep something from someone. It's not just Mafin, it's other storylines too. So much so that it's hard to sit and support any queer storylines anymore cause they either end very grossly, violently, or someone ends up sleeping with a man.
I understand trials and tribulations, and I know that I should see what happens before I reserve judgment, but that's very hard to do when as a community you've continuously been shafted by media.
I get that things cannot be all hunky dory on a soap opera, but for fucks sake, can't they be in a happily committed relationship with out secrets? Have we not learned any of the other ways to inflict drama that doesn't include secrets, cheating or death? Cause they exist.
27 "award" winning writers and still no one has grasped how to do this.
That being said, I'll give it a chance. But I just feel like I'm going to be let down yet again.
Stuff like this actually puts negative attention on the situation in Gaza. Yes we should be supporting Palestinians but not in this way. This does more harm than good. I know the intent is to draw attention to the situation but stuff like this doesn't actually work. It just takes the focus off the situation at hand.
It's not the first call. But he had plenty of time to be responsible, I called my employer the day my dad died letting them know I would be out for a while. It wasn't my first call. But it was a call b fore I was due to be at my job. Devastating things happen, but responsibilities don't just go away. Unless you're physically unable to call your employer that should be a call or a text you make at some point before you have to be at your job.
@julianarsantos@uaivito Right now, no, I wouldn't recommend visiting. But once this administration is gone. It's as safe as any other major country. And not many Americans consider themselves superior only a few. Unfortunately as I said before those few have the loudest voices.
Imma be the bad guy. But I'm team Cloe, I think she's gonna do the right thing. At the end of the day she loves Marta. I don't think she's going to try to purposefully hurt her.
Don't let the propaganda about the US spoil you. Our current administration sucks for sure but some of the best people you'll meet live in the US. Some of the best sites you'll see will be in the US. Don't let the administration spoil you on something truly incredible. It makes me said that foreign countries see us as such shit. That's not the case. I promise you. The majority of us aren't like that. Unfortunately the loudest voices are the few that make us look bad.
Dear SDL we know men are trash. But can you write a fucking storyline that doesn't involve a woman getting assaulted for once? It's like every single storyline now's it's absurd.
@PetDoctorAngst@Crazymoments01 It looks like they are trying to prevent the baby from imprinting onto them. They gave the mother a proper varied. They didn't kill her.
Would it be too much to ask to have a scene where Marta is asleep snuggled up on Fina's chest with a happy smile as she repeatedly dreams of yeeting Pelayo off a cliff?
