This was everything I hoped from the thumb ❤️ thank you, I love it

it has me wondering if she licks the lid to get every drop between sips or if she drinks like a pupper and enthusiastically licks the spout during sips

I’m more attracted to women, but I find their sexual pleasure disgusting!

this feels a little bit like the clay that rapists are made of

idk if it’s because I’m autistically naive or if it’s because I’m old and words meant different things back in the day, but I was under the impression that the Q part covered everything that wasn’t vanilla cishet, and that’s why “Queer” was synonymous with “weird.”

so kink just seems like an inherent part of it to me, because I thought Pride was about being out and proud about being Different from the vanilla cishet mainstream

but also I’m just some rural yokel, what do I know

I thought that was a fun tweet but didn’t think anyone would fall for it 😂

I had the same experience of them helping me get over my fear of bugs when I was little! They’re so cool.

I was really sad when I learned that their adult form doesn’t even have a mouth.

me too 🫥

I used to love customizing my buildings! This is a super cool project, I’m excited for you and looking forward to updates 🤩

These are the people who tell childfree folks that they’re selfish

SAME HERE

I honestly think they were more upset by my complete lack of fucks about it than the perceived insult from my child. Asking “Why in the world would I make him hug you??” like it’s the stupid question that it is was very offensive! 😂

to be fair, they did their best to beat defiance out of me when I was small, so I’m sure it was shocking that I wasn’t willing to do that to ensure total compliance in the future

dogwhistle

can confirm - my bio dad was a parents’ rights and MRA guy who abused me until I was a teen

Unrelated question - how do I figure out if there are munitions factories near me?

I think most of this is lovely and kind, but this usually helpful advice

Start surrounding yourself with the kind of people who can love you for who you truly are.

overlooks that KhanCipher said this is something that is specifically a trouble area

any resemblance of community around here is steeped heavily in religion of the evangelical variety. So even if I wanted to I couldn’t do anything without being told some nonsense about how everything wrong with me is that I’m a ‘lost sheep’ that needs to reconnect with god

KhanCipher is here, so not totally without community, but the irl part is a point of struggle when KC is surrounded by culture steeped in the religion KC left.

I think your impulse to start with therapy is a really good and healthy one. Can you do therapy online? I wonder if Open Path Collective might be a good resource for you - sliding scale, lots of modalities and specialities to choose from, etc.

Fwiw, I don’t think you’re screwed out of a normal life. I was raised in evangelical church, went to a christian school for 8th-12th grades with the “Beka Book” textbooks. My life 25 years after high school isn’t perfect and I struggle quite a bit, mostly due to childhood trauma and (until recently) undiagnosed ADHD & autism, and I don’t have many friends, but I’ve got a really cool kid and a wonderful partner and some amazing pets.

I believe in you. ❤️ Happy to talk anytime, please feel free to DM me. 🤗

This is maybe what I need. I got exactly as far as you did with the original before I also gave up.

This is very interesting though not surprising to me. I grew up in evangelical church (“full gospel,” though idk if anyone here would recognize that flavor), and this is the sort of stuff I would hear adults discussing regularly.

I remember my much older sister having a passionate debate with some of the other church ladies about whether it was okay for women to masturbate - is it Onanism if you have no seed to sinfully cast on the ground?? 😂 my sister was a former stripper and was not about to let Jesus take her vibrator.

Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s much hope that these disagreements will effectively split this community. These have been subjects of debate for decades, and the risk of losing that community usually outweighs anyone’s discomfort with the roles they’re forced into.

PS - I love your username 🤩
