I can’t leave.

I have a child with an abusive, vindictive ex-spouse. Regardless of me having sole custody, I would still need to get both the court’s permission and his permission just to move out of state, so god knows I will not be able to get out of the country.

I’m at a loss. I will not leave without my kid.

We thank the great, valiant protectors for shielding us from the loathsome, horrible, dangerous hempseed. 🙏🙏🙏

I swear I’ve seen concept art once upon a time… was it Disney? But I remember it looking so cute!

I’d love an animated “Cats” movie! It’d be soooo cute!!

I have a body that no clothes will fit. A very dramatic hourglass shape. If I see something cute, it definitely will not fit me.

Nothing. Fucking. Fits.

The worst part is the bras. The fucking bras!!! Why are US bra sizes so fucked?? I literally only wear ill-fitting sports bras now!!! Otherwise my tits are squeezed or wire stabs me or every other pain.

I also have stupid sensitive skin & hypohydrosis, so rashes & heat exhaustion are things I need to think about when getting dressed.

My kid got a potato this year! I was so proud.

person gives helpful instructions on how to clear an insect infestation

“lol bossy”

🤡

Fan too big. ):

Tbf, I did not build this. A friend did and then sold it to me for a good price! Can’t complain. It’s run pretty good for 6+ years. Though I guess I have no point of comparison.

Amber Isle!

Cute dinosaur shopkeeper sim with decorating & friendship mechanics.

Not a tech person. I’m a seamstress/tailor who will make you feel like the smartest person in the room when I ask questions about computers. Never knew so much about internet privacy before Lemmy, either. It’s been eye-opening to learn about tech-stuff on Lemmy!

I left R×ddit out of spite, then found out youtubers made videos reading out my posts and said goodbye to it forever. It became a free content farm ripe for mishandling, astroturfing, and paid propaganda.

My stubborn ass will learn something beyond simple navigation because I’m always wanting to skirt injustice and do what little I can to not support rampant capitalism (I have no money!)

I mean… I learned Blender. I’m capable of pretty much everything!

Because they don’t care about “life”.

They care about punishing people.

Thank you.

A big part of why I have severe anxiety to this day is because I was exposed to traumatic things far too young/quickly. I was pushed into situations where I was not ready or emotionally/mentally equipped to handle. Constantly.

Exposure is only good if a person is ready for it. Desensitization is only helpful when you are equipped to handle such a thing.

I had an ex who would say that we were doing one thing, then take me to do something completely different, then boast that he was “helping me”, which only heightened my fears in the end. As a foil to that, I had an ex after that who was encouraging and supportive and kind, and gently led me into the same situations, where I knew what I was getting into. Guess how which one had me overcoming my fears?

Exposure works best if you are prepared for the exposure and have the support you need in those kind of situations.

I am always thankful for trigger warnings.

Question from a dummy: why should you use a VPN when visiting?

I am learning all kinds of new and alarming things today!

Thank you!

I was suspicious of that guy!

It’s been removed.👍Thank you!

Oh, I labeled the cords & disconnected them to clean. Slid the side off to give everything a thorough shine!

Problem is: this cables connect to this big ho (which I also had to clean very very heavily).

Looking into my trash, it’s more like half a bucket, the other half being crumpled paper towels.

Sadly, I only remembered to take a single one before the process started. You can see an alarming amount of dust on certain parts if you look closely.

Warning for tech-gore, maybe? Again, I’m not a tech person. The back has always been partially open. This was built by someone else, and it’s… probably not standard.

Oh, it was bad. Real bad.

I thought it was just those fancy LEDs people put in their computers these days! Like a secret feature!

Thanks so much! I have in on a little shelf below my desk. I’ll be cleaning it much more often now!
