Vent thread

Venting ahoy, feel free to share your gripes.

Re: Vent thread

I want all of the rewards of a relationship with none of the effort. Anyone mind just telling me I'm the best instead?

Re: Vent thread

[(Anonymous)]

You’re the best, nonny!

*sucks your cock and brings you bacon and eggs and coffee in bed*

Feel better?

Re: Vent thread

Same. I just want someone to snuggle and have sex with and who will also do some chores and not expect to be paid for any of that (but rather, pays half the bills!) but dating to find a person to do that? Blarg! Too much work! :P

Notre Dame backlash...

[(Anonymous)]

There's this weird and frankly, really shitty trend on tumblr where people scold other people for being sad or upset about the Notre Dame fire. So far I've seen:

*omg people didn't care when Brazil's national museum burned and that was much worse people only care about Notre Dame because white people, etc. etc.

* instead of donating to restore Notre Dame you should donate to rebuild black churches that were burned down in Lousiana and you're a bad racist person if you don't


It's like... jesus, people. Let people be sad about a loss without getting in their face and yelling at them for not being equally (or more) sad about other losses that are far more worthy in your view.

Re: Notre Dame backlash...

There's so many different angles for people to be annoying and dumb about this, it's quite frustrating. For me personally, I think it's very dumb to shame people for caring about it on a personal level, but it's also pretty reasonable to point out the specific injustice in the funding provided by governments and the ultra-wealthy for this as compared to other things. Because honestly, that is pretty fucked up, and it's on auch different scale than some random person's emotional response.

I don’t understand why people don’t get that it’s possible to be sad about multiple things. I was upset when Brazil’s national museum burned and I was upset when Notre Dame burned and I get upset when I hear about other tragedies.

Re: Notre Dame backlash...

[(Anonymous)]

I agree, and I find this really exhausting - and I've never been to Notre Dame so am not one of the people sharing their photos. I mean, dude, it's an important landmark that meant something to a lot of people, and it's extremely historically and architecturally significant. That's not even getting into the spiritual/religious connection countless people had to it, or that it was just a visually beautiful building that could take your breath away.

I think it's fine to use this as a starting point to raise awareness about other historical and cultural significant landmarks that have been lost, and pledge ourselves to actively protecting them. It's also fine to point out the wealth inequality of billionaires pledging their chump change to restore Notre Dame, or criticize the Vatican's unwillingness to help. It's fine to point out that it could be hard to spend hundreds of millions of dollars restoring a building when money needs to go to other causes as well.

But it's a good thing that people feel an emotional connection to this building. We should not be simplifying this to some dichotomy of "if you donate to a building instead of the homeless, you suck." It's good that people care about Notre Dame - that passion will hopefully lead to it being restored, and increase awareness about precious historical landmarks, including ones that don't get as much attention.

[morieris]

I don't mind people being sad about it. I was sad too!

I DO mind that my country's government feel the need to donate when yes, we have Flint and yes, Black Churches burned and yes, Puerto Rico needs help.

I mean.......I'm pretty sure the Catholic church has the money to repair it. They were doing that when the fire broke out.

Re: Notre Dame backlash...

[(Anonymous)]

You could be sad about both.

Speaking of the museum fire, though, this might be an unpopular opinion but I was annoyed that people were more upset about the loss of a woman’s skull and some big hunk of space rock than the loss of recordings of rare to extinct indigenous languages and indigenous artefacts that can never be replaced. I know feelings aren’t rational though. You can’t “make” people feel sad about an event that you think deserves more sadness than another event.

Re: Notre Dame backlash...

Just saw the second one excepy it used POC instead. It's okay to say black when you mean black lol

I'd love to see more charity efforts, but you don't have to use other tragedies to prop them up.

This is sadly common.

My pain doctor keeps trying to push this other anti-depressant on me. We already tried that before, back when I was having period pain due to endometriosis. It didn't work for me and made me suicidal. So I've currently got bursitis in my hip. Had a steroid shot last week that helped some but didn't completely cure it. And yet again he's trying to push this other anti-depressant on me. I had to be pretty forceful to get him to stop. He did not offer another steroid shot. The only other thing he offered was PT. Which is fine. I figured I'd have to do PT. But why can't I get another steroid shot? And why keep pushing this med on me we know doesn't work for me.

TMI But my period started today and I’m having the worst cramps and leg pain to boot. I already took some pain relief, but it’s not helping much.

Re: Vent thread

[badass_tiger]

I have such a bad toothache. I should have made a dentist appointment a couple of weeks ago but I kept forgetting because the pain was mild and only came at night. Guess I'm paying for it now, but hopefully I'll be able to get an appointment real soon.

I can't remember what story it was, but there's this one where a girl complains that she helped out a fairy (or something of the sort) and the fairy 'only' blessed her with good teeth all her life, and another character says that's a damn good blessing. I've always wished that could happen to me, having a fairy magically bestow me good teeth all my life, haha.

So last week I came home from a hike pouring sweat and puking, with a headache from hell. Ever since, I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night to pee like a goddamn horse. I suspect bladder/uti/kidney bullshit, but whatever it is, this isn’t the first time; I went to the doctor for something similar last year, and had a couple milder flare-ups in between, and my lower left abdomen is often kind of distended and sore. I’ve had similar things happen on and off for years and I hope it’s, idk, gall or kidney stones and not cancer.

When it happened last year, I walked into my nearest Kaiser clinic feeling like death, and they couldn’t see me until a few days later, which sucked because I threw up in the bushes outside on my way out. I bought a home uti test the next day and tested way positive. When my appointment rolled around, whatever it was had mostly gone away, and a urine test turned up bupkis. The doc (not my GP) said the home test probably wasn’t accurate because UTIs don’t vanish on their own, so idk.

I hate going to the doctor, because they (may be required by their jobs to) always make a big deal of my weight. I also hate phone calls. Kaiser supposedly has an online appointment booking thing now, and when I was pissing half my body weight at 4:00 am this morning, I logged in and looked for upcoming appointment slots with my (new, I’ve never worked with this one, maybe he’ll actually listen instead of saying “come back when you’ve lost 40 lbs.”) GP. I got all the way out to the beginning of August with no available times before giving up.

So now I get to psych myself up to make a phone call (ugh) to make a doctor’s appointment (gags) to figure out if something’s really wrong (bites nails.)

Please, for the love of fuck, let the doctor actually take into account that I walked an average of 5.1 miles a day last year and 6.7 miles a day so far this year (summer will drop my average because heat and humidity= blargh) and have never smoked anything, taken any recreational drugs, or drank alcohol (and I have maybe four sodas and five coffees a year.) The only otc meds I take are ibuprofen for headaches and a generic antihistamine for hayfever. I haven’t eaten meat in a quarter century and cook most meals from scratch.

But given my luck and past experiences, I’ll be told if I just dropped my BMI from 30 to 20, I’d never have to visit the doctor ever again, and shooed out the door.

I'm just so tired very very tired of being lonely and my brain telling me I'm hideous and terrible and worthless and stuff

Re: Vent thread

I just learned about the horrible black market for pangolins and I'm angry and sad and angry.

Re: Vent thread

[(Anonymous)]

ever since I started transitioning about three months ago I haven't been interested in shippy stuff. Fluff, cuteness, happy relationships, none of it. All I want is raunchy one night stands, no strings attached, wham bam have a nice life smut. my primary fandom should be conducive to it, a lot of emotionally-constipated folks who would be fine with hot steamy hatesex and then walking away, but of course in the present climate everything has to be monogamous cute fluff and nothing else. fuck you, puritanical fandom.

though I could equally rant about not being interested in shippy fluff anymore. like how does that happen?

Re: Vent thread

This is really stupid, but I can’t blow raspberries and I’m weirdly annoyed by it. I went to visit my friend and her baby loves it when people blow raspberries, but I couldn’t do it. I ended up spitting instead and the baby just stared at me with this WTF face while my friend laughed.

[malurette]

It's 5AM and I'm awake, what the hell insomnia. I'll have to get up tomorrow at 4AM to catch a train, but before that I still have a full day of work ahead of me. Oh I'll be a mess later today at work, and I was planning to go out tonight with friends: guess not...

Re: Vent thread

[(Anonymous)]

I'm very sad but I can't just tell people that because it makes me bad company. It's not depression. I can't fix it with pills or therapy. There's just a lot of things that other people take for granted that I haven't had and likely won't ever have and I try to be okay with my life but I wish I had people who loved me.

One one hand, I feel old for longing for the days of early 2000's internet. On the other, I genuinely feel those days were absolutely better than the digital shitscape that is 2019 and that I'm not simply looking at the past through rose tinted glasses... thus I feel justified in my longing.
