My new poem:

The Hypocrite

I'm tired and I want to die.
I'm angry. At myself. At my patents for having children.
I want everyone to listen to others, listen to themselves, and think. Consider. Imagine.
But I'm not the center of the universe.
And neither are you.

Scarypotato made it home - *Heartb* It's okay, hon, you can tell a lesbian friend you love 'em and they won't think you're making a pass *Smile* I'm teasing you with a light heart, okay? You've become a dear friend to me, too. Oh, and the song you mentioned? It's an 80's song by The Smiths. I had no idea it had made it onto a TV show. (All of Morissey's lyrics were whiny and sad like that, and we ate it up.) Thank you for caring. I'm on a crazy rollercoaster.
buddhangela… just forget it - thanks for enlightening me.*Smile* I am happy to have you as a friend.

Love you, Angie. We'll always care about you. *Heartv*
If you haven't begun/participated in enough writing activities yet this month–and be honest, it's Birthday Month so we keep partying 'til dawn, right?–we're only half way through September! I highly recommend to you:

A magical way to inspire your Muse! New themes to write about every month. Not a contest.
#2293943 by 🌞GeminiGem 🌻

There are several themes/prompts to choose from, but you can only write one entry per month. I'd already written for the second theme when I discovered I really want to write for the last one, too! *Facepalm* You gotta know the themes are great for stimulating your muse into action–mine's is insisting I write the second one just for the fun of it, so I'm off to get busy with that. (Don't worry, 🌞GeminiGem 🌻, I won't turn in a second entry. I'm happy with the MB I earned for the month. *Bigsmile*)

What're you still doing reading my rambling? Go check it out, yeah? *Smile*

It's looking very interesting.
Thank you, Angie! I liked the journaling prompt so well I participated in my own writing activity, LOL I am even considering making it a regular feature in my Witchful Thinking series.

If you want to use any of the other prompts to write something, you are welcome to do so. I just need to be mindful of my MB budget *Laugh*
🌞GeminiGem 🌻 - "Witchful Thinking" series. I like that!! Very clever wordplay!

Well, it's officially "Back-to-School" here in the U.S. How do we know? School shootings have already started. There was a shooting at a high school in Winder, Georgia this morning (near where my sister lives). At least two people are dead, so far. Back-to-school used to make kids nervous for entirely different reasons. *Cry*
Update: Four confirmed dead. Suspect in custody.

Mousethyme - Home school them. Best of both worlds. They get educated and you get to play school with them. *Ha*

I home schooled my son. The best thing I did for his education. *Heart*

A kid in Utah shoots themselves when they find a parent's gun; 4 dead in a school shooting.

I still think we got it right down here.

But to those affected by this, best wishes to you all.

At least when my kids start school in January the only thing they're worried about is if they are in the same class as their friends, if the bully has changed schools, and if the maths (yes, maths, not math; we do more than one here) teacher who didn't know anything last year has had their contract renewed...
Ẃeβ࿚ẂỉԎḈĥ - I gave up my children for adoption. my eldest was homeschooled.
These are my roommates great-niece and her four girls. I don't get much say.
I apologize for clogging up the Newsfeed with yet another of these posts. I'm hoping it's only for today, the first day of the Birthday Celebrations, that we'll be posting our activities here. So what's one more post, right? *Think*

I participated in surveys listed below for "Earn the Badge - Closed " 

"Rating Folders"  and "Random Questions" 

The first was a very short survey, which I did because I didn't even know you could rate folders. The second I did because it was a long survey, all open text, and required serious thought and consideration. I enjoyed them both, though the second was old enough that I don't know if the member who created it will read the responses...but I've got my fingers crossed. *Smile*

*Heart* "Earn the Badge - Closed "  really is a nice challenge with lots of opportunities for earning MBs. I encourage you to check it out if you haven't yet. There are lots of other activities beyond today's do two surveys challenge. Enjoy!

Hey y'all. My Sig Shop is back and open for business. I've added some cute new images, too, with lots more to come. I look forward to your visit!

SHOP
Inclusive & Diverse Signature Shop  (E)

A note regarding home-blown fireworks. Please seek out your local fireworks display and refrain from setting your own off in your neighborhoods. Not only does it stress out pets and distress wild animals and birds, but it can trigger those with PTSD, notably veterans who've served the US in the military, as well as those of us with other backgrounds and anxiety. Thank you! *Heartb*

Respect our vets on the 4th of July

Clip art using as guardian angel for those in trouble


Thank you for the trinket. Hope has a way of coming back to you. I wish you a brighter tomorrow. I have for you my guardian angel, dressed in blue. Keep her as long as you need to.

Hi Angela,

Thanks for the trinket and for the quote. I couldn't help but notice your handle. I read through the notes here, but you must want to keep the reason for the 'breaking' private.

Anyhow, we're all in this together, and I've been broken for a while now. I'm back on my feet again, and I bet (hope) you are too. *Heart*
I haven't shared a trinket in a while. I'm not quite as hopeful as I was when I made this one, but we can't ever give up. *HeartRainbow* *CircleRainbow*


Please share this post with queer friends and Allies. Thank you!

Thanks, Schnujo's in Alabama ! I'm (hopefully) on my way back. Thanks for your support and understanding! *Hug1**Smile**Hug2* *Heart* *Heart*
As Winnie the Pooh says, "You are stronger than you know." Or does Christopher Robin say that? Okay, IDK. But you are! *Bigsmile* And, you are FAR stronger than I'll ever know because I'm quite sure you don't share half of what's going on that you're having to endure and suffer through. *Hug1**Cry**Hug2* But I know you will persevere and I look forward to seeing you roaming the halls of WdC again. *Heart*
Schnujo's in Alabama - You brought me to WDC, and WDC became my family! *Hug1**Smile**Hug2*
