I inherited migraines and insomnia from my mother, who I'm pretty sure hasn't slept more than six consecutive hours since I was born

I have very vague memories of watching the Munsters with my mom in her bedroom during what feels in my memories like the small hours of the morning from when I must have been 4-5 but I know as an adult that my mom ALSO doesn't sleep lol

Honestly I think it worked out in my mom's favor in the long run because for a very long time my Insomnia Activity was deep cleaning my bedroom and bathroom lmao

I was like this as a kid and am also a chronic insomniac as an adult. My mom gave up when I was like 6-7 and the rule was I could stay up and read as long as I wanted if I STAYED IN BED.

Anecdotally, everyone I know who uses BNPL regularly is carrying very heavy credit card debt and making relatively small purchases. As with all loans, there are perfectly legit lenders and there are also very many predatory products being pushed on unsophisticated borrowers.

I have *extremely* limited contact with my in-laws lol. He goes down to FL to visit them a few times a year and I go to stuff my husband deems "mandatory" as a concession to the health of my marriage.

The kicker is that they then bitch at my husband about how I'm not sufficiently enthusiastic about their family gatherings and when he raises the fact that they've historically been shitty to me, the defense is that they were also shitty to everyone else's spouses!

I already know my parents would be keeping my husband if we ever divorced, just like how my mom maintains relationships with my dad's parents completely independent of my dad. With my dad's new stepkids it was like "oh cool guess we have new siblings now." My in-laws don't operate that way AT ALL.

I think the hardest part for me is that my family is very squishy in terms of how we define relationships. We're super tight with my brother's in-laws and neither of my parents distinguish spouses (and certain friends) when they collectively refer to "their children."

I am not surprised because I have eaten my in-laws' cooking but my god

I married into an American diaspora family and I find the whole deal baffling. Least generous people I've ever met and I will never count as family to them despite my dude and I being together for over ten years at this point.

Honestly the weather got to me pretty badly. I had wanted to extend my trip to the spring semester when I got there and by Christmas I just couldn't handle another week of light rain and not seeing the sun ever

No, these people want the catharsis of ritual purification. They love stupid rules and moral superiority, if it was enough to get offline and feed the homeless they wouldn't be posting about purging the whiteness from their Irish American bodies

I'm a younger millennial working in finance and even though I am PERFECTLY FINE right now, I definitely had more spending money before this admin decided to crank my student loan payment up to $1800/mo from the $375 it was in January of this year and the $0 it was in 2021

The people are literally crying out for Christianity and brainwashing themselves into thinking it's praxis. Find an Episcopal church with a rainbow flag out front and go nuts. Maybe go volunteer at an affiliated soup kitchen, feed some homeless people, you know, the stuff Jesus did.

if watching snuff films of kids dying interferred with your ability to regularly demand an end to arms from your reps, an extremely low bar as far as activism is concerned, then watching that stuff has hurt a cause you want to advance
