The weird thing was, nothing hurt. In fact, I could’ve finished the splits right then and there if I had wanted. It felt *good.* But I’m still traumatized by dislocating my shoulder during a shoulder press five years ago lmao. So I did my checks, had full range of motion, could put weight on it.

I was the lowest I’d ever gotten. I’d moved my weight from the ball of my left foot to the heel and inched forward. Then, an audible pop. One of those soul rending, dread-inducing, β€œoh no, I have severely fucked up” pops.

I’m in the endgame of training for the front splits. We’re talking about mere inches off the ground and about 10-12” from having my front leg extended all the way out. This endgame introduced me to an entirely new sensation last night: motherfucking snapping hip syndrome.

Why am I spilling this tea on the timeline? I’ve had an incredibly traumatic lifeβ€”horrific, prolonged coming out process; abuse survivor; endured bullying from my job and my own family. These experiences reduced me, minimized me into a people pleaser. This is me celebrating my profound growth.

I was like, β€œYeah.” People who said they wanted to be my friend ended up not doing the things that friends do during painful, vulnerable experiences. I then said I won’t go out of my way to be antagonistic, but choices were made and I clearly wasn’t it, so I’m also not going to be friendly either.

I told them, essentially, that I was ghosted by this whole group, even the ones who said they’d want to remain friends. Then I asked, why add me now? β€œI don’t get on here much;” β€œI’m such a bad friend, I always feel like I’m bothering people;” and so on.

Okay so this person is part of my narcissist, β€œI jerk off to my own nudes” ex’s friend group. I asked a few of them if they’d like to remain friends after the breakup, to which a couple of them responded affirmatively. Admittedly, a mistake on my part but I was feeling vulnerable.

Having just finished the second season, it’s bar none the best entry in the entire Star Trek narrative. No notes, no complaints; it was thoroughly enjoyable, hopeful, joyful. Please, please let’s have more.

Somebody else pointed earlier that the "bloodless if the leftists allow" (paraphrasing) bullshit sentence, is a clear terrorist threat and should probably be called like this.

Trump’s re-election will mean four hideous years of the GOP playing constant Civil War Chicken at best - as this Heritage Foundation ghoul made clear - and actual civil war at worst. Avoiding that bloody nightmare is a pretty damn good reason to suck it up and vote for Biden.

So from what I’ve gathered, the Roberts court legacy is an enormous power grab for the judiciary, an unchecked executive with unlimited β€œofficial” power, and a fundamental reorganization of the federal government.
