As your therapist, I feel like it's time you moved on from your past marriage.
I felt like I had already moved on. But you are the third therapist to tell me this… I suppose I'll try…
It's just… It takes spoons for me to even start talking to someone new on the apps.
It takes even more for me to actually date them.
Not to mention I’ll often realize over time that they’re draining to be around. Sometimes they’ll become a good friend. I get friend zoned a lot, lol.
It's a numbers game, Xoe. You just have to put yourself out there to find one person. Once you've found the one, then you're all set.
I guess when you put it like that...

Guardians with conflicting ideas of child rearing find themselves co-parenting. Foster a supportive environment, but secure your kid when absolutely necessary.

♠️ Curiosity
♣️ Confidence

A legacy write and roll gerrymandering game
It’s the start of a new decade and the Posicratic and Neglican parties must draw electoral districts in their respective dimensions. Each party must draw 5 equally populous districts which will last a whole decade. They’ll then take turns campaigning before the biannual congressional elections to determine how many elections they win. The parties hold elections in two separate dimensions, but the constituents exist in both dimensions simultaneously, so changing a vote in one dimension will impact the other dimension’s election. Who can gain more votes to be the prime dimension next decade?
Garymanders was designed in a day for a Metatopia Game Jam.
