I’m just like … they weren’t friends. they weren’t friends. THEY WEREN’T FRIENDS. Ppl mistake friendliness for friendship, esp ppl who perform altruism for fb likes.
@PoetryFound
This statement says absolutely nothing. You censored Jewish writers because you are scaredy cats. You don’t deserve the place you have in poetry, you should fold

In my 31 years of dating & one marriage, I’ve learned that enough men absolutely understand consent & checking in that the ones who “don’t get it” are making a CHOICE. A real choice. A total manipulation.

I just can’t believe she didn’t say, “Daughter of the great John McCain” to underscore why she is just more deserving of everything - probably an oversight she’ll correct next time she “drops knowledge” WTF WTF 😳

Here’s the funny thing: sometimes I do take note of who struggles to pay for my services & I slide in a discount. But never to someone who complains about my rates or makes his “nice guy” act my problem
@LibyaLiberty
My (Iranian) dad had a no camo rule, and I do the same for my daughter. I told her I can’t control what other ppl buy her or what she’ll buy for herself but not in front of me and I’m never buying it
If Kathy Hilton were my sister OR by BFF & lost her shit on a trip & felt bad & apologized to me & even did it ON CAMERA b/c of my SHITTY personality traits, you bet your ass I’d protect her & support her in public 1000 million percent

Palestine. Palestine. Palestine.
Palestinians.
Refusing to allow the name of a national identity/ people is a deliberate move toward eradication of a group of people.

I try to either 1) see if the 1st line can be the title (not repeated, as in first line is both title and first line) or 2) pull out something unstated in the poem that I can state in the title that will illuminate/underscore/heighten meaning 3) when those fail, I try to pull a

My bestie & I do a game we call “tiny molehill.” Another player gives you a topic, the more minuscule the better, & you get 2 min to state your case. Passionately.

Wanted to get a baby doll dress (it was 1993) & wear it w/ white tights. My mom: "Your legs will look like tree trunks."
Literally thousands of clients & fans have complimented my legs for 20 years. I almost believe them. But not really.

If that “reporter” has to “fact check” that Columbus murdered indigenous ppl, she needs to go back to elementary school. The elevation of mediocrity in this country was on either side of that one intelligent woman.

And Gretchen WAS a superficial dishonest paper doll. Tamra just illuminated what was there. She misfired so badly this season, over & over. Sad.

One time I said I had no chance of winning a Pushcart, after being nominated, & my then-13 year old took my favorite pens away for a day, so I'd learn to stop putting myself down

my god. the misinformation we heard
The New York Times declares poetry dead. Oh shut up. The only obituary you are writing is your own! Leave your dead behind and burn it all down then! Live más!
@courtesansophia
I think “client” is critical, b/c it *is* a relationship between a professional service provider (me) and the purchaser of my services (client). Just as BDSM is not therapy but can be therapeutic, what we do is not *personal* per se, but can be personalized, depending on the ...
@AmiMercury
This! I’m in this 18 years, IDGAF anymore if a potential client or client is shitty to me. I also am so much better at delineating when I was wrong vs when they refuse to be satisfied. So much of mastery is being willing to make a mistake b/c you trust you can correct it.
@VanderVVtm
They all assume LVP is scheming with them I mind because that’s how they behave, albeit sans skill. Deep down they know: LVP dgaf abt any of them enough to bother “scheming.”
So for the last 2 days I have not let myself work in bed, & I’ve put the phone in another room when I go to sleep, & fuck me, the experts were onto something

Nah. If the story were told thru any other character, the convo now would be “X” is the villain. We’re all pretty awful. Thru the show, we got to see Carrie’s shitshow. We’ve all got a shitshow to tell.
@courtesansophia
Meanwhile, stellar clients are folx w/ whom we do form meaniginful bonds, who ensure they never take from the well w/o paying - and often, I find, for me, I’m more relaxed about time & energy w/ those folx. I don’t *have to* be so on guard b/c they have a history of respecting me

Love this. Feminism is, in part, about creating a society where men are not forced to be cold, hard-hearted, MASCULINE AS DETERMINED BY THE PATRIARCHY, fearful of crying, etc.

Right! I have seen the most amazing aesthetician for 5-6 yrs. She's careful to tell me abt pricing for new services, increases, etc. I PAY HER W/O QUESTION. She's quick to share a sample w/ me, or squeeze me in on a tight schedule - b/c we are good & honorable TO EACH OTHER.
@YNOTConnor
"overly flirtatious, crude ..." etc behavior should have effing been ENOUGH to end your relationship w/ that guy
the fact that you all KNEW he was INAPPROPRIATE (biz speak for creepy gross nasty PREDATORY) & did nothing of substance speaks volumes
