I don't have a tumblr account.
You don't need one -- there's a link on the right side of the page that says "submit here".
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh, yes, that's what I was assuming when I mentioned the "submit" link - Tumblr lets you set up a form to take submissions, which this one allows. If you decided to set up your own Tumblr blog, you could take submissions or not, but for the goodstuff blog, you don't need any kind of account at all. More clear now?

Compassionately intolerant
Somebody can be naturally sympathetic, expressing concern or compassion for your plight without being empathetic - being able to read, or know your emotions. This can lead to a lot of confusion and tension when somebody who has been sympathetic turns out to be not so empathetic.
Very true. Very true.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I like to think of myself as a very empathetic person, but I suck at reading the emotions of others.
Oh well.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
This whole conversation has made me very uncomfortable because there seems to be an unspoken assumption that Bonny is somehow entitled to this woman's friendship because of a relationship they've had in the past, and I really don't believe that's ever the case, in any relationship.
I don't believe that either, and I never made any such assumption. K. has just as much right to walk away as Bonny.

Too true. I'm really, really empathy-impaired. It's frustrating, because it really isn't something I can change, and I've managed to get to a point where I'm almost capable of it, but it is a constant effort, because my brain's not hardwired for it.

Plei, you could be like my mother, who understands that people feel differently than she does, she just thinks that they're wrong.

I don't think it's necessarily something that can be learned.
It can. But it's not easy, and it's not enjoyable.
