F22 From a black household where it's Academics over mostly everything, barely anytime for clubs growing up. Made the mistake of choosing somewhere very close for college /jk but I was mostly a commuter student. I have friends but we're all so spread out that it feels impossible to link up schedules. But now that I graduated back in May, I wanna actually get out there and meet new people, try to be social and maybe even find love for once! I just don't want to be in this damn house anymore, I want to live a little. But I'm not sure where to go..?

I mean I know join clubs/groups that interest you, go out to parties, and such but where do you look for them exactly? Queer and/or Lesbians ones, social media? bulletin boards in your local starbucks? Friends? Eventbrite? I'm not sure, I know I'm overthinking this. But I'm also just nervous, it feels weird to no longer be in academic mindset grind after so long.

saw a repost from a tattoo artist i follow that made me go 😬😬 (yes, he has a dog but I thought he was normal about it since majority of his post are just his work)

the post asked the hypothetical question of “Would you hit a child if it meant your dog could live forever?” ofc because it’s a dog Instagram account there was little hesitation from everyone to agree. But the comments… look I know instagram comments rival the evilness of some of the worst on twitter but just Christ, some of these answers were very unnecessary. A simple yes, would have sufficed but no we got… (yes, these are some of the actual comments)

“I would run through a daycare like Connor Mcgergor“ (Interesting choice for an example.)

“Not me thinking you meant with my car and sitting here seriously considering it“

“Line them up, l'm doing it for all the dogs“

“I'd volunteer my child if I had one”

“Do disabled children count? If so, yes.”

“Ill hit 3 even if I only need one”

“Oh was it not with my car???“

“Get me a sledgehammer.“

“Point me to the kid. Hope he deserves it. Lol”

among many others. And look, I get dogs are dear to their owners and kids can be very annoying but a dog cannot be that dear that you are willing to go the extreme and hit a child with your car for your dog. (that’s not even getting into the repercussions, you want me to believe you’ll go to jail for this dog?? or Possibly into debt for this because of the legal fees for this dog??) Im sorry that’s just insane ? like i know this is ‘hypothetical’ but why would you admit any of this????

But this made me think, do some owners only like dogs as much as they do because they don’t talk? (minus the companionship aspect, being bred to serve + please and it’s an animal) They make a ton of noises yes, but they’ll never talk back to you or say their actual thoughts about you. If they were able to say words and talk like people, I wonder would their owners like them less (most owners would probably be in for a rude awakening.)

You know how most things go with hype for a particular brand, either it’s overhyped, underhyped or it’s just mid. But these bras? I bought quite a bit during the sale, and oh my god. I get the hype, I’ve been wearing the ones I bought throughout the week and these fit like a charm! No tightness anywhere, discomfort or anything, it barely feels like it’s on! And now you’re going to be gone?! for good?! Fuck you!! and fuck me for not jumping the gun sooner about these guys sooner!!

and now I have to lowkey window shop again elsewhere? girl, whatever :(. rip understance you will be missed.
