You absolutely should, it’s a glorious bottomless rabbithole.

Jim Croce. He died relatively early in his career and was already an amazing songwriter. What could he have written with more time?

Yeah, I only had a handful of CDs because they were too expensive! I jumped on the napster train and got a CD burner as soon as I could.

The standard price where I grew up was $13. Feels like a steal these days.

I Believe in a Thing Called Love!

Was having two small cavities filled. The dentist only numbed one of them. When I yelped after she drilled into the live tooth, she rolled her eyes and said she “didn’t think I’d notice”.

When the novocaine wore off, I had been actually butchered. The insides of my cheeks and tongue were cut up, my gums were cut up, and my lips were split open and swollen from being pulled so far open.

It was my first filling. I didn’t know that it wasn’t normal.

Afterwards I switched to a practice for people with dental phobia, and have never looked back! They don’t do anything special except be gentle, explain everything, and most importantly, STOP when you say so. But I have never been let down. I nearly fell asleep during a root canal just a few weeks ago, it was so painless and stress free.

Absolutely. Dentists too. If you were a sadist and wanted a job with the most potential for causing pain, medical professions would be high on the list.

I see more and more men wearing fanny-pack-like crossbody bags where I am (Holland). Hopefully it will start catching on in your area!

Or being traumatized from being autistic and getting side eyes, snickers, giggles, eye rolls, scoffs, and bullying whenever you committed some social faux pas.

Never thought about doing that, great idea, thanks!

Zeker waar, maar er zijn gewoon niet zo veel kansen “back home” als ik mijn familie bezoek 🥲

This is great! I’ve been noticing more ableism in my own vocabulary, but was frustrated with not knowing enough good substitutes. Thanks!

I appreciate your nuanced take.

That’s not true; I also speak Dutch!

Anyone want to speak Dutch with me? … That’s what I thought.
