If a person is disruptive of regular ass people and their ability to feed themselves? It's exhausting.
This? It's boring.
Do the work and make art from it.

@FrankCannon

Performance art is always, ultimately, a thing that the wealthy who have access to attorneys can do.
It's gross.

Agreed on the mostly arrogant.
As a human being born female in 1971 it's been mostly like, Bless your heart.

I'm Brussels sprouts.
Hence the new avatar.
My kid and I had a talk tonight about how much we want to reach out to people but people think we're too much and retreat.
We're Brussels sprouts.
I'm going to pop in a couple times a week but not every day.
No one wants Brussels sprouts every day.

I can't imagine any cishet male who is 35 and successful in his work going after a 20yo cis woman on a dating app without looking for a person to dominate and use.

And hi!

@arthurpendragon

At 18 I dated a stunted 33 yo bass player who was essentially 20? emotionally.
We're still very good friends after realizing that it was a horrible idea. He apologized to me recently. He's nearly 70 now. I'm 52. He said that after Me too he thought he'd been predatory. I told him bless his heart.
A 35yo as you describe is predatory. Assume the worst.

Also the access to ammunition.
Both.

It's the guns.

@Museek

His boss turned him in.

@AskTheDevil

One would think.

@th3j35t3r

I'm not trying to stir anything up!
What is going on?
I made a statement.
Feel free to delete it!
This is incredibly uncomfortable.

@th3j35t3r This community has been very dear to me since last October.
I've made friends here.
I don't understand why if someone takes a few weeks break you're going to accuse them of baiting when they return.

@th3j35t3r

I've been here for 10 months.
I'm only looking at what others are feeling right now.
I have no idea why after 99.9% of my interactions in this community you would say that.

@th3j35t3r

I didn't think I was disturbing shit.
I thought I was speaking from my heart.

I came in here to check my DMs and I see that, through posts and replies, some Black women who posted here regularly no longer feel safe here and one has left.
Yeah. I'm white.
It's not about me.
This forum is a gift.
It would behoove everyone to make it a safe place for all.

@tyghebright @janallmac @kenc313

This is exactly right.

@AskTheDevil

I feel like actual blogs should return because it gives people the opportunity and characters to talk about what they want or need without having to stop every so many characters.
I miss deep dives into people.
But people now don't blog unless they can monetize it.
I really miss learning how people work.

@AskTheDevil

I am, actually.
My kid and I had a talk about how social media is helpful for finding friends, but then you feel beholden to remain active and must continue to create content.
And that's silly.
So my 16yo said, "I feel like hanging out with my online friends in DMs and no longer creating content because I feel like that's enough friends," and I said, "Yes. That's beautiful. Hang with your friends."
As I said to people on FB and the 🐦, y'all know how to find me
It's your choice

Checked my DMs.
Saw someone critical about my tone.
See you later, alligators.
