@webhat ::hands over tissues::
told ya.
@azteclady oh it's a tears in the coffee morning then 😭
@cargot_robbie @azteclady or a tears on the train evening then 😭
@azteclady
So much pain, so much masking... and for what fucking reason?
Crap, where is my tissue... 😭
@momo @azteclady Got me too. WHERE ARE THOSE TISSUES!
@azteclady Makes me think of my uncle, twin brother of my mother, from 1936. Was in the Navy, moved from Holland to Switzerland, worked in hotels, drank too much, taught us words in Swiss German like "warme Brüder" (warm brothers: gay men), always *always* had a picture of his friend from Austria in his wallet.
It never rang a bell. It just never did, until one day when I went through the Swiss newspapers he carried with him and there was a gay porn mag between them. I was 25 maybe. Only then...
@azteclady ...did I get it. But we never really talked about it. He once sent my wife and me a holiday card from Rimini, signed by both of them, and that was it.
Life must've been so hard for him.
@azteclady why is the website all blurry now.
@azteclady You got me. Everyone is on a journey, you never know when someone will put out a signpost. 🥲
@azteclady Well, yep, empathy test material: you don't cry or at least feel something crinkle inside you with this and you are a Replicant.
@azteclady
Hands up if between the tears you're urged to give that fella a hug
@azteclady and this is why we love our public libraries!
@azteclady and especially the librarians!
@azteclady yep. tissues.
@azteclady Oh my allergies
