Hey, all!
I am beyond a need for just help at this point.
I want my life back.
I believe in myself and my ability to accomplish great things for humanity, if the universe would kindly quit tripping me.

Since Blazing Saddles is trending, this is your reminder that Mel Brooks' humor works because he didn't make fun of people, he made fun of the people who made fun of people.
He didn't mock humanity. He mocked human fallibility.
My apologies for a rare political tweet, but..
Anyone who votes for Trump after everything he has done and said in the past 5 years, and especially in the past three months, should hang their head in shame and will have no respect from me.

Moderator: "I think it would serve the country better if you wouldn't interrupt."
Trump: "Him too!"
Moderator: "Well, frankly, sir, you've been doing much more interrupting."
#PresidentialDebate2020
The reason why Mel Brooks movies like Blazing Saddles are timeless and still funny are because they don't make fun of people, they make fun of stereotypes.
They make fun of the things that are wrong with humanity and not just the things that are different.
An Open Letter To The Rest Of The World:
Despite all evidence to the contrary, the citizens of America DO NOT WANT WAR.
I would like to apologize of behalf of this country for our current leadership being a bunch of ignorant assholes.

We have far more important things to focus on
I know it's incredibly oversimplistic, but does anyone else have the urge to gather all the world leaders together in a room and just tell them that enough is enough, grow the fuck up already, and knock it the hell off?
$40,000 is a ridiculous price to pay for a car, and the fact that there are cars in the world that cost more than $40,000 is infuriating.
Nobody needs a luxury vehicle. It's stupid, wasteful, and ridiculous.
Wait... you mean there are actually families where the people in the extended family, like aunts, uncles, and cousins actively support you and care about how you're doing?
That's a thing????
I decided I no longer want a relationship.
I want to be wealthy enough to hire a lady's companion. Then we can travel the world, solving mysteries and annoying the menfolk with our forward ways.
I have a question, and I genuinely would love to hear people's thoughts on this.
How do you reconcile enjoying the excellent works of creatives who are just absolutely not good people?
Depression, Anxiety, OCD, ADD, and PTSD.
I face them every day, but they do not define me.
Mental illness is a chronic medical illness. It is not a weakness or a character flaw that you can "just get over".
We need education and communication.

If I am running multiple errands, I will leave my mask on so I don't have to touch my face or mask until I can wash my hands, but you didn't consider that, did you?

In case anyone ever thinks that people are exaggerating about how stupid the job market is these days, I just saw a job ad for an entry-level position that requires a Master's Degree.
Cicadas are edible.
They supposedly taste like shrimp (they are in the same family as crab and crawfish).
There will be billions of cicadas emerging this summer.
You can find recipes online.
Just putting that out there. 😁😂
So, I see that
#MissedWarningSigns
is trending and I am just petty enough to point out that some of us did not miss jack.
Some of us have been saying over and over, ad nauseam, for the past four or five years that Trump is batsh*t crazy.
Y'all just didn't want to hear it.
Rock bottom is a myth.
No matter how far down you go, there is always more down.
I'm not okay.
I am at my breaking point and I'm tired of pretending I'm not.
Holy to the Moley!

One of my favorite memes.
But seriously, yes. Nancy Drew was a major step in my reading/writing development.
When I was a kid, I was crazy for fairy tales. When I was about 8, I graduated to Nancy Drew and from there to mysteries and then to horror, which is my favorite genre.
#TheThingAboutMen
is, they have feelings and emotions.
They can experience domestic violence and mental illness.
They deserve love and support just as much as women do.
Human beings are all human, regardless of sex or gender.

Men need to know that if they
take a date to Shake Shack for a first date and she gets pissy enough to put him on blast on social media right there in front of him, then it's perfectly okay for him to get up, walk out, and leave her there to complain. You deserve better.

I've been single for 18 years.
I used to view my relationship status as the highest indicator of my worth as a person. I used to believe I was too broken to be loved.
Then I learned to love myself. Broken or not.

UGH!! EDITOR CRAMP!!
This sentence is technically correct.
"The knowledge and expertise of our team are indispensable."
Why does it look so awkward and why does it look better with the wrong verb form????
"The knowledge and expertise of our team is indispensable."
Just as a chef should always taste their food before serving it, so should a writer read over their work before submitting it to an editor.
Your thoughts?

I did a poll asking why people don't talk about

The majority said it's because they don't know what to say.

Even if Biden happens to win, it doesn't matter because 67 million citizens of this country went on record as saying that they are totally okay with how the past 4 years have gone and that just makes me sick to my stomach.
@LangmanVince
I can't believe people are still using that "99.98% survival rate" bullshit as an argument against the simple courtesy of wearing a mask to protect others.
Nearly 600,000 deaths later, just in this country alone, and you're 100% okay with that.
You disgust me.
Hey, if you see this, would you cross your fingers, knock wood, pray to the Old Gods, sacrifice the chickens, or whatever tickles your fancy?
One of my freelance gigs may have 3 new salaried positions opening up in the near future and I have already thrown my hat into the ring.

Do they honestly think that the virus is only present while you're in transit, and when you sit still in a room full of people, the virus goes away?
I swear, I can't fathom how some people's minds work.
I, the woman who just a year ago couldn’t cook her way out of a wet paper bag just spent 7 hours in the kitchen making a turkey and six sides.
I feel tired and happy and accomplished and in a bit of pain, but overall just very proud of myself.
Question for those who wear dresses.
New clothes are quite a bit further down the line in my budget right now, but I'm curious.
Where can one go to find reasonably priced (under $50) plus-size, mid-calf length, wrap dresses for short people?
Do they exist?
A horse walks into a bar and orders a pint. The barkeep says “You’re in here pretty often. Think you might be an alcoholic?” The horse says ,“I don’t think I am," and vanishes from existence.
I could explain the joke but it would be putting Descartes before the horse

If you know you are writing a character that is going to be killed off, do you get invested in that character in the same way/to the same degree as a character who lives?
Dude.
A month and a half of no fast food, watching my sugar, salt, and processed foods intake, and cooking from scratch as much as possible, I've lost 6 pounds.

Don't listen to the haters who tell you everything you love is bad, just because you're young. We were all the same at your age.
You are smart, strong, capable, and worthy. You got this.

It's so nice to know my state government has my health and safety in mind.
Oh, and that was for DeWine, not you. You and Jim Jordan can both take a flying leap.

Dear Ladies under 40,
Do not fear turning 40.
40 is magical and amazing.
When you turn 40, you get a visit from the Zero Fucks Fairy and it just makes life beautiful.
Sincerely,
A 46-year-old who has not had a single fuck to give in almost 7 years.
Today, I was told that my beliefs have been put in my heart by Satan, because I refuse to condemn people for the "sin" of homosexuality.
I don't understand how people can be this way. I will never understand why people are okay with this level of behavior.
It hurts my heart.
Not for nothing, but every goober out there whining that Jill and Hunter are keeping Biden in office and in the race in spite of his obvious issues seems to forget that this country did exactly the same thing to Reagan during his entire second term, and he had an actual diagnosis

Serious Question for the
#writingcommmunity
Besides exercise, yoga, and meditation (because those are obvious), what do you guys do to relieve stress?
Looking for serious suggestions. Preferably things that don't involve sex, drugs, or alcohol... 😂😂😂
I said "No" today.
Someone asked me to do something that I simply did not have the time or resources to do and, instead of taking on the extra task, and being mad at myself for caving, I said "No".
I am insanely proud of myself right now.
I just blocked someone for telling me I shouldn't get angry when someone tells me to cheer up and think happy thoughts to deal with my depression, because they are "just trying to help".
