Thanks! I’ll be going every 2 weeks after my therapist returns from summer holidays.

I think I miss hobbies and free time? But honestly I can barely imagine doing them or having a night off. So it’s hars to tell. Socialising is still going to some extent. We do get a lot of house calls by friends and that’s nice, but I also miss seeing friends elsewhere.

It’s alright. Started therapy yesterday and was almost late for my first appointment because of baby. But the therapist was nice, hopefully she’ll be able to help me in the long term :)

Hehe it’s ok I like zalgo

Whoa, toy soldier campaign?

Congrats!!!

Your son’s baby pictures on onedrive? ¿???

Catch me literally always falling for this as a player

Holy shit this website is exactly what I needed to start sewing again :ooo

Yayy!!! :)))

Parenthood is going alright. I love my child!! But damn I wish he loved sleeping as much as he loves staring at me with those laserbeam eyes at 4 am, lol.

Watching a lot of TV suddenly while my son naps on me, hadn’t expected that but it’s cool to finally watch some shows and movies I didn’t have time for before.

Back to work next Thursday so that’s kind of scary. I hope everything will go okay at home.

Came out to my parents as non binary, that’s a big one :) and before my 30th bday which is nice (was a goal of mine). They were very supportive and understanding and not upset with me at all that it took me so long to share with them (I’ve known for over 3 years now).

So yeah eventful week!

Hehe, yes

I understand

still wearing long sleeve

Girl whaaaaatttt

I love this :3

I also agree, being an introvert, but what bothers me about both the article is that it fails to fully cover the Ear Buds Effect I experience in society, namely that extraverts seem to have appropriated the wearing of ear buds.

OOP mentions a 2021 survey where respondents say they wear headphones to avoid social interactions. For introverts, this is a necessity at times. We can’t always be available to talk to strangers, especially in overwhelmingly busy environments like public transport. To me, some places are only bearable with some form of distraction like headphones.

In my opinion, this contrasts with the absurdly widespread ear bud use we see today, because there’s simply no way that every one of those users is an introvert. I don’t believe the people wearing airpods in a café and talking to people on the phone while they order are introverts. There are many many people using ear buds in public every day that do not require any form of distraction or soothing in order to be in public; they simply have appropriated that introvert “social crutch” (as OOP cites it) into a means to be rude in public and get away with it.

And when there’s no one left out there to approach strangers and say they’re being rude, no one will ever think twice about it. Et voila, here we are.
