"Lee admit it, you practically live in subspace.
That is not shaming, it acknowledges your Stockholm syndrome. It happens 🤷🏾♀️
"But Eral and Ronet always seemed to know when to push him. They’d make him bend, but not until he broke. They always monitored him, he reminded himself, so Lee hadn’t been in any real danger. If they’d seen true distress, they would have come in. They would have stopped it."" — 7 hours, 44 min ago

"2% in and I think Kayla's either an idiot, manipulative or looking to sue because a dog has no place on a construction site.
You're on a third date with a guy, saying how much you'd love a dog but can't because you work long hours as a dental hygienist. However he has the space and opportunity at his job! Make it make sense. The miscommunication is resolved: “Well, I guess we can cross that bridge after the wedding" — Aug 31, 2026 08:50AM

“Jesus, the way you look at him…” Frankie mutters. “I wish someone would look at me like that.” “Like what?” “Like they wanna fight me and fuck me at the same time.”

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

“I am already one of god’s most perfect creatures, so I won’t be changing race when the opportunity arises. I was born a cat, and I will die a cat. In fact, I’m going to have to insist that Carl choose a cat race as well.”
