"even sluts need sleep" — top quote from my therapy appointment today

[lieutenant buzzkill @spacegaysam]

unearthing myself to bitch

dropped kid off at moms, said i was going for a walk at X park, to enjoy being outside w/out the kid or dog. felt guilty, went home to clean instead

why'd she then take all the kids to X park after i straight up told my niece i would rather go solo

[lieutenant buzzkill @spacegaysam]

the comradery i feel with every other solo parent in a grocery store cannot be understated. you need help with your cart, i got you. you need to reach something and get your cranky kid a snack, i have long arms, i will grab. we're ALL going to the store today

To avoid straining your eyes at work, use the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, go for a 20-minute hike and spend the next 20 years in the woods.

also stop blaming trans women for new developments as far as this brand of inclusive language goes, you sound like fuckin chewed gum stuck on Musk's shoe

[lieutenant buzzkill @spacegaysam]

"they're erasing women with 'birthing person' and 'chest feeding'!"

shut UP shut up SHUT UP no one is using these in place "mother"/"breastfeeding" UNLESS the individual asks for them—they are there for the ones who need them. as a trans man who just had a kid...

[lieutenant buzzkill @spacegaysam]

NO ONE has used these in regard to me, outside of my docs office or inside, so please for the love of god pick an actual battle re: childbirth and reproductive health that does some goddamn good for people. if u like the inclusive language—awesome! if not—pick your battles better

when it's your first semester back at college since 2019, you have a baby, and 90% of your work was done while taking care of said baby... AND YOU STILL MAKE DEANS LIST FOR THE FIRST TIME

[lieutenant buzzkill @spacegaysam]

if you see me carrying around a baby during graduation practice, no you didn't, but ive asked so many people to babysit and they're all unfortunately busy, so she's gotta tag along. promise she'll be chill.

[lieutenant buzzkill @spacegaysam]

FINALLY GRADUATING IN 7 DAYS. 18 credits while being the only parent at home 90% of the time outside of class... and im done. if my profs see me repeatedly checking my grades (two As and a B so far 😭), no you don't. im just shell-shocked.
