also… i was gifted the blue check, lol. and apparently there is no way to hide it. i promise, I’m still here just for the love of posting and have no plans to monetize my account! 😬
what the fuck is this Miami Vice shit about?? am I reading this right? a girl asked her boyfriend to show her his favorite movie, he showed her Miami Vice, they had a nice time and… people are mad at him?? is that it or is there something that I’m missing

a friend used to leave me to run the merch table while he played, but never left me a price sheet. turned into a game of “I don’t know, what do you think it’s worth?” when people would ask for prices but mainly worked out well

somebody I knew woke up one day truly thinking she was Christ reincarnate, and when I brought up the idea of getting her medical help to some of her closer friends they said “actually maybe you should have her read your tarot”
@lenadunham
back in 2017 you told me i must be a trump supporter because i suggested you make your feminism more intersectional and inclusive, good to see that you’re back
bc the cure announced a tour today: here is the sweetest photo of my late father dancing with me when we saw them in 2016. he flew 2k miles to go with me because nobody else would, and even got his nails done with me before the show. I miss him.

!! NEVER !! GO !! TO !! A !! CHIRO !! See an osteopathic doctor or PT for gentle manipulation and traction instead!! if you continue to ignore this advice and simply MUST go to a chiro, don’t let them touch your neck!

I have rheumatoid arthritis, so am in an RA support group. 1-2x a week, we get a post from somebody who’s had their methotrexate denied by a pharmacist because “it’s used for abortions.” Absolute hell world, can’t believe this stuff is legal
@NobleQAli
i just got called a “right wing chud” and told to “fuck off” for suggesting that sometimes, couples poke bits of fun at each other and still love each other very much, and that’s okay. thrilling. who would have thought we’d reach this point over a Michael Mann movie
i am also not even porn brained: i don’t even watch porn!! (no shame if you do, it’s just never been my thing). i just thought we were all doing it to make things easier! apparently not, though. wow, learning a lot here

an old friend of mine once went into work one morning and found that a coworker had hanged themself there the night before. cut them down, called 911, etc. Was still expected at work that week.
before anybody else responds telling me that it’s only one person: I do see that now, I am aware. i posted this after only seeing a few random tweets, not all of it. truly thrilling. we may be experiencing a new style of meltdown!

i have a fun habit of taking my pill right when i open my eyes, rolling over “to snuggle up for 20-30 minutes as it kicks in,” and falling asleep for another 2-3 hours
@MADtastically
they recently decriminalized in my city, and i have rheumatoid arthritis — i’ve been wondering if maybe it could help for my pain, so this is great to see!
@STALLE0N
i hyped up coming out so much and it ended up being the biggest non-event ever. my mother said “yeah, I’ve known” and my father updated his list of “eligible and approved bachelors” to include “eligible and improved bachelorettes.” I was 22. whoops.

actually when I called them asking for help because I had been sexually assaulted by a stranger in public they took 5 hours to show up (losing us 3 witnesses) because they were waiting for a woman to be on the clock to take my statement… so, no

hi friends!! Rochester Hills is NOT Detroit — it is part of the Metro-Detroit area, but, people who aren’t from around here might not know that the Metro-Detroit area spans a BIG area! so, let’s not turn this tragic shooting into a racist “Detroit is bad” thing.
@falseroxy
i one hugged a friends dad, a longtime widower, before saying goodbye. he teared up and said “I don’t think anybody’s hugged me in ten years.” his sons could have fixed that!! men, hug each other when you want to, please, don’t leave it to us women

the ADA provides protections for certain “historical” buildings due to “architectural integrity,” it’s total bullshit. I’m an advocate for access in the live music scene and a lot of venues don’t provide access beyond the ground floors due to this

I once jokingly told a professor not to schedule an exam for Dec 1st, because it was my mothers birthday and we had a traditional dinner (it was a 6PM class). One got scheduled that day, but he excused me because “spending time with your mother is more important. Honor her.”
Wage theft is the most expensive crime in the USA. Fifteeen BILLION dollars are stolen from American workers per year. What is wage theft, and why is this still happening? 1/

@MPHProject
As I recall, it got some negative press and the store eventually went out of business. If I’m also recalling correctly, they still wanted to open THAT DAY. They were a shop for specialty drinks — nothing essential that needed to be open that day.

I’m not a fan of “Chinese Virus” — all it does is perpetuate racism here in the states. Would hate for anybody to be bullied because they’re Chinese and people think they personally are to blame for the virus.

when my mother turned 44, my elementary school self (late in life surprise) wrote her a card that said “I love you even though you are 44 now.” i hope that you will still mainly love your mom, even though she will eventually turn 44

emotional labor is literally an academic term that’s used for our capitalist hell world. having to smile at and be nice to a particularly shitty customer at your minimum wage job is emotional labor. parenting is not. begging people to learn what this term really means

John, if you’re cool with house shows, you’re welcome to play my backyard in Detroit. Big backyard with a raised gazebo you could perform under. People could bring chairs. We’re hosting shows for the first time this summer.

@Chinchillazllla
@herong
not in this sense it isn’t. your children are not your customers. this is not something where you’re making profit for a boss. trying to mold the term “emotional labor” to fit this makes the term lose all its meaning.

I have rheumatoid arthritis so am in some RA support groups — 1-2x a week we see a post that somebody’s pharmacist has denied to fill their methotrexate bc “it’s used for abortions.” I used to be a patient advocate. I can’t see how this shit is legal.
I'm dying to try a quaalude. How was there this magic drug in the 80s that everyone loved and now it's just gone. Of all the things they took from me this is the one that upsets me the most.
this is gaining traction for some reason! i have rheumatoid arthritis so am not interested in making my joints hurt even more with lengthy sex, but even if I didn’t, like, one hour, tops
@clhubes
I once read a tweet that said “one day your parents set you down for the last time and didn’t pick you up again” and it upset me so much that I made both of my poor 60something parents pick me up next time I saw them

i truly love reading about the fights middle easterners get into over who gets to pay the bill and how they sneakily win the honor of paying it. so completely different from our wonderful (aka headache of) American culture of splitting the bill

i don’t personally like heroin, or the idea of doing heroin, yet i’m still a harm reductionist who has sat with others (with Narcan on hand) as they’ve done drugs! you maybe just don’t make it about you. they’re not out to get or offend you.

so, you think that because you suffered, everybody else should also have to suffer? from her tweets we can see that Haley works a day job lmao. is this also the liberal view on student and medical debt?
look at how beautiful my hairstylists/friends daughters dress is for prom. it’s from the 50s. they went to a special boutique in Detroit to get it. the constellations are so beautiful!
the number of people outing themselves as assholes on this post really disappoints me! yes, tipping culture is kind of backwards, but it’s what we have for now. you go out to eat, you tip 20% or I think you’re an asshole.

amazing!! she once told me I must be a Trump supporter for suggesting she make her feminism more intersectional (which also now makes me feel cringey, but 2015 was a different time)

i carried a knife on me and still got raped by a stranger in a parking garage, how is this supposed to not be victim blaming?? i had members of my own family blaming me after it happened because they knew i had a knife in my purse. i couldn’t get to it in time.
hi here’s a ridiculously cringe photo of me getting ready to go to a now defunct “members only” goth club in LA where you HAD to wear all solid black and NO photos were allowed and you couldn’t even use your phone to illuminate the pin pad on the ATM machine.
Lee Carter and their wife invited an actively suicidal sex trafficking victim to live with them, got her drunk, slept with her, and then made her homeless in a span of a week. If you follow Lee @/carterforva or Violet Carter @/ThatEffinFlower, be warned.

When I was at a concert with my father a few years ago, a random man stuck his hands down my pants. As security came, the man ran off — but my father was chasing him down with his cane, yelling, “you get back here right now!” I certainly don’t doubt it, either.
