kind of a take
we can support each other
we can speak affectionately with each other
we can cheer each other up when we're down
we can send each other cute art
we can each tell the other that they look great
it don't gotta be flirting
it don't gotta be crushes
it don't gotta be attraction
it don't gotta be dating
it don't gotta be similar to dating
kind of a take
sometimes in social spaces that are very queer and very polyamorous, all affection can get treated as flirting, any closeness as dating or on the way to it, etc. it can be treated as an assumption that we all wanna cuddle and kiss and maybe fuck all our good friends
but it's rly important imo to leave space for deep, dear, loving platonic friendships
even if we're non-monogamous and orientations work out such that we theoretically could all be dating/fucking each other
flirting
How did I get so popular what the heck

bad feelings
It feels like I don't have any space to hide and cry because too many people are counting on me to be strong and responsible and to do everything. I have to drive everyone everywhere and do all the cooking and the cleaning and laundry and do my job and manage the budget and manage my partner's mental illness and run everything and never ever have a bad day
It's impossible
bad feelings
A lot of things have not been going very well lately. Aside from the recent death of War, which absolutely devastated my roommate, there's the mountain of medical bills and constant doctor visits for my partner, the lost package I sent my good friend, my other partner's living and financial situation, my mostly nonexistent relationship with my other other partner, stress from all the rush jobs at work, and all my other responsibilities…
I can't handle it.
animal death
Creampuff War, one of our rats, passed away this morning.
She was sick, so we gave her some extra attention last night. We gave her a nice warm place to rest with a steamy water cup nearby to add some humidity. We gave her some snacks (but she didn't want to eat anything). We made plans to call the vet in the morning.
She was buried on the Griffy Lake Nature Preserve. She is survived by Pumpkin Pie Pestilence, Red Velvet Famine, Chocolate Chip Cookie Death, and Abaddon Éclair.
