I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It used to be very difficult in Virginia for a woman to escape an abusive spouse through divorce.

My sister got divorced in Virginia, from a man who'd been cheating on her unrepentantly for fifteen years, and who had already moved in with his new woman. She had to fight tooth and nail for everything she got in the divorce, and had to fight him for years afterward to get what he'd agreed to, including child support, and the part of their retirement fund that was hers. She was a nervous wreck for a couple years. I remember her saying many times, Virginia divorce laws favor the husband and punish the wife.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ok, I get it, I just...there are other items that are more....efficient

I will leave googling "rubber ducky vibrator" as an exercise for the reader.

Plenty efficient, really.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I think that's generally not a consideration with kinks, unless you also have an efficiency kink, in which case life is likely to be frustrating for you.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

This here is a sad state of affairs. Launching off the murder of Trayvon Martin, this article claims that whites simply feel less empathy towards blacks: [link] Notably, both whites and blacks (and crucially, medical personnel) imagine blacks feel less pain than whites.

I leave laughing at this as an exercise for the reader.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I guess what I really meant is that a vibrator is a vibrator. I don't get Hello Kitty vibrators either. But different strokes (hah!) for different folks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Laughing not crying?

I definitely went to a "sympathizing for ita" place.
