Sylvia Plat said, "Opinions are like orgasms...mine matters most and I really don't care if you have one." I would say, "Opinions are like orgasms...mine matters most and depending on how much I like you, yours might matter, too." 🤣

Got a new phrase for ya! rebooty call /ˌrēˈbo͞odē kôl/ noun the contact made when a person, out of fresh dating prospects, suddenly recalls your existence and attempts to gaslight both of you into believing they never stopped being interested; may be via call, text, email, kik, etc. (1/2)

When people YELL loudly who they are over and over, you gotta take them at their word at some point.

New word, inspired by a conversation two nights ago. romagination /rōˌmajəˈnāSH(ə)n/ when one person’s “this is just how I date” smashes into the other’s “this is how I show deep commitment.” No one’s technically wrong, but someone’s definitely catching feelings they didn’t sign up for. (1/3)

Working on a new word today. No art yet. egoshock /ˈēɡōSHäk/ noun The unholy cocktail of indignation and bewilderment served up when someone you were absolutely not into dares to reject you first. see also, "but why though?" (1/3)

From a live chat today. One of the attendees quoted this back to me, so I'm sharing. Remember: Whatever you have done to survive, it takes a new skillset to thrive, and SOMETIMES it's exactly the opposite.

Fill in the blank! I swear, I am just ONE [fill-in-the-blank] away from swearing off dating forever! Example: I swear, I am just ONE "wyd?" away from swearing off dating forever! 🤣 🤣 🤣 It's snowy here in NC. Let's have some fuuuuuun!

Not my word or concept, but... Have y'all heard of labor digging? When rather than dating for love or money, the dating is for labor. Including, but not limited to: - Housework - Cooking - Childcare - Emotional You know, all those pesky things needed to keep a convenient life convenient. (1/3)

Have you heard, "You teach people how to treat you?" You probably have. I don't agree with that. I believe that people are going to treat you however THEY want. You have the power to teach what you will and will not accept. Which is where the concept of ruinous empathy comes in. (1/7)

Haven't been posting much. Have been doing art. Number 37 and counting in this series I've titled "The Whimsically Illustrated & Annotated Dictionary of the Utterly Ridiculous Things We Do for Love." *smiles*

Ugh! 💩 like this just pisses me off. It’s the other side of “be more submissive” messaging sent to women, to create the full trap of “can’t win,” and they are trying to say that it’s women creating the trap for men. (1/3)

A new work that made me laugh this morning. Wanna play along and use 'nexit' in a sentence? Here's another: When I caught myself explaining basic human decency for the 3rd time, I hit the nexit button—I’m not running a seminar on empathy; I’m just trying to enjoy a cuppa tea and get boned.

Can I tell you something that no one likes to talk about? Some of the BEST people at getting love...are the worst people. Well, those who are the most natural, anyway. An essay. (1/7)

Took time offline this past weekend. Feels good. Now, what sort of trouble were people scaring up while I was getting railed, eating delicious food, and reading cotton-candy fluff books? *smiles*

Thanksgiving today is me and my sweetie. I started with biscuits and gravy. He’ll be making shrimp and grits later. And we may put together our new toy: a laser engraving machine.

LOL! We all do it. Well, many of us do. Especially the creatives and the romantics. Admit it. I know it's cringe. The problem isn't that we do it. It's that we sometimes INVEST in it and believe in it...which is kinda like believing Rambo is real. Or pr0n. (1 of 6)
