Oh, she knows, they both know. :/ I just have to figure out how to cope and be decent.
How'd the talk go?

It went well. We figured we weren't spending as much time together as we should so we're going to make the best of it since I have night classes and she works during the day.
Well, at least they know the situation. Hopefully things can be civil.

Yeah, I'm working on it. Both bf and wifey called me out on my 'tude, so at least I know what I need to work on.
You two will get to have more time eventually, schedules change, classes end. I hope things work out a little better soon.

Rarrr... I'm changing a lot through talking to people, and am realising I used to hold opinions that made me a dick.

I feel like this is one of the only places where most people will sympathize with how I feel and what I'm seeing.
People aren't really reacting to #BlackLivesMatter and police brutality with much sympathy. It's not like it's genocide or anything, right?
*crickets of doom*
Except it is. It's been going on for so long and a lot of people I know in the Punk subculture have been in the know about this for a LONG time. So have a lot of people in the Gothic subculture. Like so many other parts of the United States, Baltimore has always had a problem with this and I am so sad to see that people don't get how awful it is to dismiss the reality of racism like that. Whenever I get pissed about that fact and the racist stuff (humor included) going around, people act like I'm the enemy for calling them racist and getting "sensitive" about it.
Our culture is made up of individuals who perpetuate racism through attitudes and behaviors like that. How on Earth do people not understand how they, a single individual, contribute to this system? It's horrid.
Anyone with that #WhiteLivesMatter tag... Why are you offended by people sticking up for black people after years of abuse and injustice? You should be doing the same.

I'm kind of relieved that I didn't see any of my friends piping up to say 'what about the white lives', because that is rank.
I was going to try and say something more insightful or helpful but I just... ugh. I don't know a lot about it because I'm overseas, but the clashes seem to both been caused by and used to justify racially motivated violence by white cops. Like a vicious cycle of racism.

My usual reaction when people try to pull the "All lives matter" or "WhiteLivesMatter" or "White is also a colour",
is "I'm all for ideal equality for all races but I'm going to tell you to go fuck yourself and here's why"
..followed by something along the lines of "Was white a colour when black people were getting lynched and had to sit on certain side of the bus and used designated CLEARLY discriminated public services ?? Now you want to be fucking included when they're finally receiving the same rights you've had for decades ?"
Don't even get me started on these Confederate flag bullshits

Soooooo I found out a few weeks ago that a friend of mine is a serial rapist. And that a lot of people knew he was at least a creep but no one let me know.
I was really really angry when I found out, I've been alone with this guy a lot and he presented himself as a feminist ally and just a really great person. I'm pissed at myself for not trusting my gut when he acted a little weird or would blow up my phone begging to hang out. I have been feeling better lately, but last night I had a nightmare that I ran into him and he had me alone and cornered, and I just woke up today upset all over again.

I'm sorry Saya. This is actually more common than people realise, and when you try to talk to anybody about it you're met by a wall of defensiveness.
Take comfort that your gut knew what was up, and knowing you can trust it is just going to become make you more tuned to spot danger.

Thanks. My issue typically is though that I have social anxiety disorder and it's hard for me to tell when my gut is right and when I'm just being paranoid and assuming the worst in people, you know? Like where I live now I just kind of assume all my neighbours hate me, somehow. He was my neighbour back home and I felt so proud and grown up that I was making friends with neighbours and not hiding in the house grumbling about the loud music.

My sister had a mastectomy and is having radiation after a bout of chemo earlier this year. 10% chance of cancer returning... Might have to buy myself a bucket-o-tears.
Live life every single day. Live with love in your heart, because it's the only emotion worth hanging onto.

Found out one of my uncles gets touchy feely with little girls. I discovered this while watching the news and it turns out he was messing with my preteen cousin. He's already been arrested and waiting on trial. The police advised everyone not to load any firearms or think of harming him at the courthouse when the trial starts but it is so fucking tempting.
*hugs* Batty. Hope your sister gets through it as quickly and painlessly as possible.

It would be hard for things to suck worse than things do for me at the moment, but I think you guys have topped it.

Thanks Acharis and BB.
She's a tough old gal. Fractured some vertebra in her spine about three years ago, had to go into a brace for about 6mths. Just got her clearance to come out to Oz, then found out she had breast cancer.
Hopefully, she'll be better by next year, and I'll pay for her and her hubby to fly out. Yeah, it's going to take all my savings, putting my dream of a tiny house on hold (again) but she's my sister, and I'm a dumb sentimental fucker who puts family above all else.
My rant is that I drive 15 hours one way to see my brother and nieces... they can't be assed to drive 2 hours to see me. My excuse was I did the drive on my own with babybat, I had a rather bad cold and had to save my energy for the drive home... Oh and driving in Australia isn't like driving elsewhere. It's hundreds of kilometres with nothing. Google Hay plain images.. then you'll see what I'm talking about.
Plus you have to be alert to wildlife on the road. Kangaroos, foxes, emus, cows, sheep, womats, echidnas, dogs, cats, bunnies, horses... yeah, it's a bucket of laughs...
Here's a link with general images of the Hay area.

It's okay.. I was quite surprised by the number of women who thought I was brave driving that far without a man.... Not exactly sure what they thought was going to happen to me or why a man would make any difference.
Really wish people wouldn't say stuff like that... Brave is running into a house fire to rescue someone.
Cold has turned into a sinus infection... of course there's no sympathy on the homefront... no rest, or allowances made.. fuck I'm over this shite

Probably thought that some guy would try to attack you, and the presence of another man might deter them. I dunno.
I'm grumpy and cold. There's a list of things I want to do, but I never have the energy after doing the things I have to do. If I even get that far -_- There needs to be two of me to live in shifts please.

Acharis - yeah, most likely, friggin' stonage attitude though. Next it will be I need to take a dog/knife/gun/rocket laucher/nuclear warhead - just escalates shit like that.
Am grumpy today. Cold. Tired. And really sick of putting up with fucking men, well one in particular. FUCK!!!!!
