Fuck the cops! I’m so sorry.

Omigod.

He kept talking on the phone before the date about how short he was. I assured him it was ok. He really was very short in person but I’m not bothered by that kind of thing, but the way he kept talking about how he was shorter than me (and I’m short) through the whole date just made it so pointless and self centered. When he asked me out again I said I had met someone else and it was getting serious just to avoid going through that again. He didn’t attempt to get to know me at all, so what was the point?

That was really nice of you though.

I’d also take older kids.

Classical voice. I like lieder, Matthew Polenzani’s Lizst album is wonderful, or Lisette Oropesa’s Mozart arias album.

Wish I had someone who wanted to do foster parenting with me.

I bus to work, it takes only five minutes more than me driving, and is only five dollars a day, and I get to read or listen to podcasts or whatever and not think about traffic or bad drivers. The only downside is obnoxious passengers on occasion and people who smell bad. I don’t love driving at all.

God bless Dolly.

The shopping! You can’t beat prices at a department store on clothing on a long weekend with a coupon for 25% off everything. I don’t bother clothes shopping in Canada at all, I save my US cash and go on Black Saturday, where the prices are pretty much as good as Black Friday and not as crazy, or on Memorial Day weekend and come away with reams of clothes and shoes for under 500 dollars. And somehow they always have your size,unlike Canadian stores which tend to be picked over as hell, and I’ve never had to have pants shortened from the US. I like clothes shopping a whole lot.

I am officially in menopause as of next month. Honestly I’ve had almost no symptoms and that’s because I’m psychiatrically medicated to the teeth. Naltrexone seems to have made the most difference, I’m on it for an anxiety disorder, it’s usually used for substance abuse, but I tell you I’ve done really great. Menopause is not to be taken lightly.

I like that you’re asking this on Lemmy, home of Linux lovers.

Being well off enough and free of my money problems so that I could quit my night job and devote my free time to helping my friends. I’d also like to have a life where I could become a foster parent because I think I’d be good at that and help families well.

Welcome!

And a thing young folks using cannabis seem to be woefully under informed about is that cannabis use can kick off psychosis/schizophrenia as well as something called depersonalization disorder where basically nothing feels real to you, as well as actually lowering your IQ. I lost a high school friend who smoked copious amounts of ditch weed in the 80s and 90s, who became a paranoid schizophrenic and eventually killed himself as a result. I’m not saying occasional use is a big deal, but chronic heavy use is really not good.

The 2020s iteration of Twitter with Space Karen at the helm, and the sharp rise in antivax beliefs with the advent of the COVID vaccine. It’s quite amazing to me how people that even get every other routine vaccine have completely false beliefs about it and don’t get that one. Weaponized disinformation is a terrible thing.

My coworker told me two weeks ago that she was not getting any more COVID vaccines “because they’re pushing it on us”, and yet went and told Public Health that she has multiple sex partners so she could get the monkeypox vaccine. My head is spun over that.

No idea. I don’t think I have an accent but people who aren’t Canadian think I do.

Interestingly my friend’s sister moved with her twins to Australia when they were 5, and when they returned one has an Australian accent and the other does not.
