Soft, cuddly, and full of fluff. Love food, knitting, dogs, mobile games, fantasy/sci-fi. This account is mostly unused. Find me at one of the other linked accounts.
My parents met in 1965 and started “going steady” about 3 months later. They have been married something like 56 years. “She is a part of me,” my dad said as he drove me to the airport yesterday.
My dad said the sweetest things about his relationship with my mom that also highlights the tension and paradoxes about being with someone for a long time after she returned from being away for 6 weeks. “I like taking care of her,” he said, “but she also gets naggy about things, so it was nice not to be nagged so much while she was gone. But then I also miss her. I didn’t mind so much doing the laundry and cooking, but it is nice to share the chores of life. It is a partnership like that.”
Plans for the week were disrupted. I still took a vacation day today. Day drinking of some nice cocktails (gray whale aviation; frozen painkiller) has led to some day drunkenness. Nap time before going out to celebrate my dad’s 80th birthday.
@LilPecan how are you doing?
Rumble and Jules on a walk, a short story
—
Rumble pees - “Jules, I peed!”
Jules: “whatever dude”
Jules pees
Rumble pees, same spot: “ha, peed there too”
Jules: “whatever dude”
Rumble: “look Jules, I’m walking in front of you”
Jules pees
Rumble: “omg omg mom!!! Jules peed behind me! I can’t get to it! I have to go back”
Jules, smug
Rumble: “mom mom mom I have to go back”
Rumble, pees, same spot: “ahhhhhh”
Things not to do in your relationship No 8398: promise your partner that you’ll do something that’s really important to them, and then forget to do it and/or forget to make it a priority.
I went to my fridge to drink my bottle of Harmless Harvest Coconut Water and it was gone! It’s my fault I never communicated to my partner it was supposed to be MINE and now it is gone. Sad bear.
TheJenSaw some asshole griping about people promoting for sale things they make here on Mastodon.
So I blocked his stupid ass instead.
Look. Some folks lost their ENTIRE LIVELIHOOD when Twitter went tits up.
Save the arguments about building on other people's platforms for another time. Because for many, this is immediate, desperate, and is the difference between eating this week or not.
Don't be a dick.
Jenny MathiassonI need a new desktop background so I'm fielding suggestions for quotes or motivational phrases to pop on a pretty background.
Must be:
- actually uplifting
- sarcastic, anti-capitalist, or weird
Bad examples:
"You got this!"
"Live, laugh, love"
Good examples:
"Not today, Satan"
"Eat the rich"
Whatcha got, Fediverse?
