@KyokuUmi@BriAtCookiebox Briiiii you got this!!!! you're an extremely determined and hard worker and you have been for all the years I've known you! it's exciting and admirable to see how far you've come ✨
And to make it even worse, when I tried to call and report this I was told my only option was to use their AI chatbot to file a safety complaint?!? I still have not talked to a real human
Do better, @WagWalking 🙃
Used @WagWalking to walk my dog while at work and my walker *fed my dog chocolate*!!! 🤬
Had to stay up and monitor her all night, glad we didn't have to go to the ER vet but poor baby still has an upset tummy 🥺
If you start spiraling today, here are a few gentle reminders to weather the storm. I hope they help.
1. Drink a glass of water. Very few of us drink enough water.
2. Take 3 deep breaths. Feel better? Take 3 more. Make time and space to think about only your breath.
@King_Sukunaaa so if someone asks me, "can this stay between us", I need to tell them "if it involves [certain particular topics/events/risks], then I legally have to tell someone. it's up to you if you still want to tell me". it's not cool for me to promise to keep a secret if I know I can't
@King_Sukunaaa the gripe is legit, but also, having worked as a mandatory reporter, I can see both sides. that said, we *are* supposed to remind people of that responsibility *before* they confide in us
@bebopally@AwestruckVox it's also a rough tradeoff because things are easier to access if they're freely available online, but that also limits how much money it can make, so only allows for small scale or dubiously ethical production
@bebopally@AwestruckVox all of this! it's a cycle, films that are more marketable get marketed more, get more eyes on them, and get fans talking. fans can help break the cycle by getting the word out about underrated hits, but it shouldn't be expected, especially when the film is literally hard to find
straight up breaking Twitter quarantine to note that on web, you can no longer highlight text while you are writing your posts or replies
WHO BROKE THIS
@clhubes To clarify, yes I'm sure I personally was less responsible as a kid or teen, but I had my parents staying on top of me and making sure I made it to commitments. Being a young adult/20something I suddenly had more responsibility and hadn't built the skills to handle it
@clhubes I think to some extent is is typical of 20 somethings. Like I don't think it's on purpose but my 20s were the least responsible I've been in my life, and things just slipped my mind. That said this is a big responsibility, so it makes it hard on you finding one who is responsible
@Adabear_Art I came out to my parents about my partner and I being queer and (in addition to being genenerally unsupportive) my dad freaked out that HRT could make us infertile and "I don't even know if you two can have sex!" when I said "*I* know the answer to that" I think his head exploded
@realgirl_fieri@juliedangerrr Oh I agree, in case my comment wasn't clear. Like I think a lot of the advice about what exactly to say and how to say it are trying to optimize parenting in a way that gives diminishing returns for a lot of unnecessary pressure and frustration
@juliedangerrr@realgirl_fieri Iirc that's the idea. Like I don't think it was ever meant to be "these phrases are BAD" (how people interpreted it), more that they can be unhelpful/not ideal but also not a big deal
@realgirl_fieri I think this makes sense! Plus we clearly showed during pandemic that remote work options can work pretty well and they do enable flexibility in a way requiring butts in chairs doesn't
Hey friends! Heads up, gonna delete my Twitter app for a month or so! My account's still here, I'm fine, and I'll probably poke in now and again on web, just need to not have the doomscrolling temptation following me around in my pocket for a bit!
See you soon!
@NewspeakV12@SumiHeakato@Carl_Kski @JaydensSon @LegendOfWinning Glad we understand each other! My beliefs are serving me quite well thanks for asking! Sounds like it's time to go our separate ways, so have a good night!
