it seems like the #pandemic has given everyone more time to think about their lives & relationships and that is fantastic! 🎉
i’ve been receiving more DMs than usual in the last week, so it’s probably a good time to remind y'all that along with art & porn, I also provide #alternativelifestyle advice through my #patreon. the $10 “life support” level is for dedicated, thorough conversation, and the $1 level is a proverbial penny for my thoughts. 💕
i’m happy to help you hash things out in your #polyamorous, #kinky, #queer, #existential, and/or otherwise exciting lives! please send me a message if you’ve got questions.
I was in line at Aldi and this girl with two toddlers in front of me had her card declined and she looked so fucking sad and said “let me call my husband real quick” and it was only 18 dollars, so I just paid for it, and she was very sweet and then as she walked off, the lady behind me said `”You know that was probably a scam, right?” and like, even if it was, like what a sad fucking scam, right? 18 dollars at the Aldi. If you’re “scamming” me for some Tyson chicken and apple juice and cauliflower, then just take my fucking money.
“A scam” people are fucking wild.
This happened to me, too. A woman had used WIC for the majority of her stuff (which I say from personal experience is such a long and embarrassing process) and to buy the remainder of her groceries, which included diapers and wipes, she used a card, and it got declined. I bought the other $30 of her groceries because hey, I’ve been there, and now I’m not. She was extremely emotional and began to cry and even hugged me. My mom called me on the drive home and could tell I had been crying myself, asked what was wrong, and when I told her what happened, she berated me for being “duped.” I couldn’t believe she could be so disappointed in one of her children for doing something- nice? Is that the hill you want to die on? Getting mad about people needing groceries?
I once paid for a woman’s bill at the vet…it wasn’t a big one, but she was trying to pay for some medication for her dog, and her card was declined. And her lip started trembling, and she says “I don’t get paid until Tuesday, would he be ok until then?”
So I just told them to add the $20 something onto my bill, and I thought she was going to break down crying right there.
And I don’t care if it was a scam or not. Just do nice things for people sometimes.

In the simplest terms, executive dysfunction is not being able to do something while procrastination is not being willing to do something. However,...
