Parent your goddamn kids.

I have been off of cigarettes since 2010. I have immune problems, where my immune system is hyper aggressive. In the past 16 years I have lost and kept off 200+lbs and kept in shape, even got healthy enough to get accidentally pregnant that was fun.

But now every county around me is banning flavors. Flavored eliquid, might I add.

The birthday cake flavored alcohol is still allowed to be manufactured, for some reason. Nobody cares that my brother died only a couple years ago at 38yo from liver failure. Nobody cares that he started drinking Puckers when we were teens. Nobody cares that people like me heavily benefit from smokeless nicotine. Nobody cares that if I go back to smoking cigarettes that my health will get infinitely worse.

Why not quit?

Why don't y'all quit drinking donut flavored liquor???

Parent your fucking kids. Stop letting them buy products that aren't age appropriate. Stop giving them your fucking credit card and then complaining to the news media, meanwhile you're chugging mikes hard and Bailey's with your fuckass drunk stupid mom friends who can't stand to be around their kids unless theres alcohol to look forward to.

Nobody cares about the life I've had to live. About the way my brain never fucking stops. I have to see this shit everyday.

I miss my brother. Why do I have to see this shit. Why does everyone absolutely shit on me and downvote me whenever I make this correlation. It's like, I touched a nerve, I threatened their precious alcohol, so they just disagree with me and try to make me go away.

It's dehumanizing. Can we please ban flavored alcohol????

As title says, and it is now Portlandia Ketchup.

I don't think I should use this product anymore, and I am advising others who are sensitive to sugars to check your bottles. The ketchup now contains corn syrup, and an additional 2g of sugar.

Small fries for most, but that's enough to make me sick. Thought others should know.

So I live in OR. It's a whole mess but I'll try to tl;Dr it best I can: we got our snap cut last month from $550 to $0 because they were counting my PALM grant as income. It took me over three weeks of calling because I don't have a worker anymore, but I finally got through a couple of times. They decided to change the number on the phone of my income, as I'm looking at the award pdf with an entirely different number, telling me now it's because of my husband's VA Benefit income. Which has been there since 2009.

We finally got it all figured out last Friday but. She told me because I was reporting in the middle of the month, I got approved for benefits, but only starting in September. I'm looking at the website, and yeah they start next month.

This is illegal, right???

My adopted aunt posted her Father's Day post on the fb this weekend and it's just been eating at me all week. She's so rich she only remembers me when she feels like it, iykyk.

But, I don't care about that. It's what she decided to post.

A big ol' Happy Father's Day post to all the fathers she's known in her life! Including the man who coerced my teen mom into giving me up for a closed adoption because I was special needs and could get extra benefits, (which they ended up using on themselves and their RV camping trips, they used to tell everyone We're the Snowbirds with kids! Think about that. We were nothing but accessories to these people,) before changing my name entirely so she could never find me. He also beat the absolute spit out of us. Oh, I forgot, almost, I used to have an adopted brother. But this man drove him to you-know-what, only a couple years ago. Our abuser has been dead for over eight years, now, and I'm the only one left, my a-brother made it four years before, yeah....

Idk, it's just. after everything that's happened, I just want to scream at this lady. That's not my dad. I never got to meet my dad, but.... I know a little bit about him, now. My dad was a paleontology drop-out who got stuck in California, my dad studied rocks and made music, my dad was a bead artist, my dad was.... a helluva lot cooler than you.

I want to scream at this lady. But, she's up in the clouds. So is her age.... I've always wanted to tell her what her BIL used to do to us kids. But, idk. I feel like if I ever mention any of that, then the good will is over, and what's remaining of my adopted family, just her and a couple other people, will just.... forget about me.

I guess I'll just get it out here, instead.

I'm not being entirely serious here, I don't wanna get anyone's hopes up, but just some food for thought. I think it was almost a year and a half between the two endings of NGE, though I might be wrong on the exact time. It was definitely more than a year, though.

I got the sweater that says "You Go, Girl" over a year ago. From Glitch. It's one of my favorite things to wear. It feels strange to see so many people so... Anti-trans about Jax. Gross, even. I'm worried it's just gonna get worse in a couple days, ugh.
