When we say ACAB, we really do mean ALL

Mine is. It has an automatic life maker and filtered water dispenser. It’s pretty common in houses in America, less so in rentals.

I now use my porn account to engage with folks on my niche subs and race threads.

Damn, you’re lucky.

If you wanna be annoyingly puritanical about it go ahead. I didn’t mean to offend your sensibilities.

… I was making a joke about it by saying ‘depends on the age gap lol’…

Why are you getting defensive?

Ofc consenting adult relationships with large age gaps are generally fine with some exceptions.

haven’t seen it in the thread yet, but (most) GMOs. The foods and technology aren’t the problem, it’s a solution to ending hunger. It’s the corporate interests that squash competition that’s the problem.

And very cuddly and squeezable. I like touching fat folks as much as I like touching for folks. All bodies are nice.

… a 13 year old with a 30 year old…

13/30 is rather problematic

Depends on the gap lol

Yep. I was told I’d stop hearing it as I got older but I turn 40 next month and I still hear it.

I lost my dog on Wednesday.

I’m in the mud too feeling the same things. Yesterday morning I was ready to never get out of bed, to just dehydrate and die. I didn’t move until my whole body was numb. It felt like the universe had given me my reward in her spread out over 10 years, but kept tally of all my sins and unleashed my punishment all at once directly on my soul. It was ash in my mouth and salt in my eyes, unbearable and searing pain. Until my partner came over to check on me because I was non-responsive by phone. They bodily got me up, they made me drink water and eat, they got me out of bed and into the shower. Through all my sobbing and wailing and despair they held me and told me it’s ok, that they loved me. They loved me on purpose and took care of me when I couldn’t do that for myself.

And that’s it. That’s the purpose. The point. Love. Grief is always hovering there right next to love we experience, but would you trade a single moment with your cat to avoid this grief and pain? I certainly wouldn’t. I’ll take this a hundred times over for the love I experienced for and from Mercy. It’s why we do this to ourselves when we bring a pet into our lives knowing every minute of the journey that it will end too soon. Because they fill a hole in our hearts and make our lives brighter. Even though right now it feels like there is no light in the world, you need to realize that it only feels dark in comparison to how much light they brought. It’s like being in a bright room and suddenly the lights are cut and you’re blind. I promise, our eyes will adjust, we’ll see again, we’ll breath again, and eventually, all we’ll remember is the love and warmth.

All we have to do is survive this, right now. Let it wash over you, honor them with your grief and pain, but don’t let it control you because that’s not what they’d want. Your cat would want you to continue to find the light, to find joy, and to find love. And you have to stick around for that, and you have to do it for them. You’ll do it because you loved and were loved and will love again.

The point is love.
