Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[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.

Iirc, Josefina lived at Golondrinas. I took Ellie there a few years ago and it was really cool. I think Josefina is beautiful but Elle doesn't really like dolls. Anyway,I agree with Burrell; 4 beds is a lot of space.

Our wings are not tired.

I don't know how to explain the exhaustion and general psychological ache of trying not to be overwhelmed by other people's default assumptions of what and how you are when you just want to be you

The first comparison that popped into mind might be the default assumptions associated in peoples minds of what you are if you are a woman. This exhaustion and psychological ache being much more profound in other cultures than our own, yet still existing here as well.

Wow. Well said, ita. Very evocative and clear. Thank you.

This.

but most other people are white/straight/sexual/cis/American/Christian/dominant and the disregard for your individuality is like an undertow that's pulling you out further and further from shore.

And with this one, it's not even just Christian people. I once had a rather bizarre conversation with an atheist, where he was insisting that I should celebrate Christmas. After questioning him about it a little bit, I figured out that his justification for why he can celebrate Christmas is "It's a totally secular holiday, not Christian at all, so if I celebrate it, I'm not doing anything remotely related to Christianity," and the fact that I didn't celebrate it specifically because of its connection to Christianity was screwing with his worldview.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hi Deena!! Good to see your pixels. That is a lovely doll.

I'm on a more even keel today, thankfully. It is what it is.

Thrive to spite them

I just got a call from the temp agency I was working with when I had to stop working. She was asking how I was doing and also said that an office I worked for requested me.

We talked for a bit and she said when I was ready to go back to work she would be able to find some very temp (like just a few days) assignments for me.

Which just made my day.

That's great news, askye!
