    Shout out to anyone having a shitty day today due to the “family” issues or loss. It’s been hard to avoid.

      I totally get this. More places email you asking if you want to opt out of messages around days like father’s day. It’s good they have that acknowledgement for the people it has bad connotations for

        I find mother’s day to be tougher than father’s day, but unfortunately I’ve yet to actually see anywhere that has an opt out option for mother’s Day, even all the places that email me asking about father’s day

      Yeah I’ve put my family group chat on mute for today because of all the celebratory father’s days pics and whatnot and they all full well know what my father is like. Coupled with some other family drama that cropped up, easiest to just mute and move on

      I was considering to tell a guy who shouted “happy father’s day” repeatedly in a South Melbourne Market stall to shut the fuck up.

        I literally haven’t left the house today to avoid any of this shit, and by and large I’ve been successful.
