@Gnomeshatecheese @MzTash Yes, all of this. Getting older also involves a fair amount of forgetting, and losing memory capacity. Maybe that's why I feel like I was more learned 10 years ago!

Years ago, way before I was condemned as a terf, I was given a very hard time and called a heartless bastard for telling female friends that I didn't believe a particular male acquaintance's claim of serious mental illness (he claimed to be schizophrenic amongst other things), that I thought he was performing illness to try and appear vulnerable to women so that he could prey on and manipulate them (this worked remarkably well with multiple women). He's finally being exposed as an abuser. I'm not expecting an apology.It honestly worked on me for 5 minutes: he *did* appear very vulnerable, he talked about being lonely, scared, isolated, not knowing where to turn for help, thinking nobody liked him, etc. Women with "fixer" and maternal instincts fell for this hook line and sinker- they wanted so desperately to help him, they offered him unconditional friendship because he said everyone had abandoned him, they tried to get him help. Every time it turned into a relationship, then a dependent relationship, then an extremely manipulative one, with him becoming increasingly possessive.Men like this are fucking lethal and we have to be on our guard against them. They can fool the best of us. Before you decide to dive in and help a vulnerable soul, ask yourself why they've been resistant to every other effort to help them (because thousands of women have tried, every time).

I'll tell you what's very weird: having no appetite/not being able to get any pleasure from food. Eating one biscuit and not wanting another biscuit. That's weird. I mean it's good to have restraint, but unfamiliar, and ultimately disappointing because food used to be my comfort. When I got too old for drugs/I could no longer handle booze. I need a new comfort thing.

@LostInCalifornia She has this peculiar habit of only ever replying to men in her mentions. Funniest thing.

@ninapaley It’s peculiar, isn’t it? It’s definitely something you don’t appreciate (even something you get frustrated with) when it’s there. But it not being there is very eerie, and reminds you that it's fundamental.

@MellowMarigold There are numerous serious long-term effects, including tooth loss and serious digestive issues. I have a friend who lives with a stoma from complications from gastroparesis (numerous intestinal blockages) after bulimia when she was a teenager. You need to speak to a therapist urgently, to figure out why you're doing it and how you can recover. Don't carry on until the effects are irreversible. Sending strength and support. 💜

Awful news about Norm. I don't think there's anyone funnier left alive. Not intentionally anyway.

This is the sort of thing that, if the world hadn't gone mad in a way I still can't fathom, I'd expect to peak a lot of people. Man lies his way into a post in a charity for extremely vulnerable women with the intention of subverting its entire purpose, openly admits to it, disdains rape victims, diminishes their experiences, is pushed to the top for obvious ideological reasons.

@Hollahollara It'd be fun to put them say, on your forehead, or ankles or something, for an event. Or a date.

@Hollahollara I want someone who actually sleeps with people to do this. But actually around the nips, cover their whole chest in them. Like Diana of Ephesus. Surprise!

@Tiggy That is so horrifying, I'm so very sorry. I really hope that man gets exactly what he deserves. And sending love to your and her family.
