I don’t mean to be all “woe is me” but damn it really drives home the loneliness when literally the only texts I ever get are trying to get me to vote for some shit. or like, texts from my cell carrier trying to get me to upgrade my phone

and the only texts I ever send are just “STOP” lmao

    Do what old people do and phone random businesses then talk about your dog for a half hour.

    Actually, on that point, getting a pet might help a little

      lol I realized right after posting this that “political texts” could also mean theory. bit frankly I’m not reading any theory so I don’t have that problem

      Yeah lol I was gonna say I have friends but none of us read enough to get together and read the same theory, our attention spans are too fleeting.

    I don’t have to deal with the democrats, but the republicans somehow became convinced that I’m my mom and texted me 9 times today from different numbers and I replied stop to each one and it does nothing. I got a call from someone phone banking the other day and told them they had the wrong person and begged them to take me off their list. I’ve tried sending them PPB but it’s all automated so I can’t even mess with them or anything. It just sucks.

    I can relate. I struggle to keep in touch with my friends back home.

    They chat about their fun times and I send memes in an attempt to stay relevant

    TW: suicide

    nsfw

    Imagine if you were a suicidal person and the last thing you see before you blow your brains out is a fundraising text from Chuck Schumer

    “Hoo boy that last poll was a hell of a doozy! PLEASE donate $5 IMMEDIATELY to the DEMOCRATIC ACTION FUND so my grandaughter doesn’t have to go to BUSHWICK!!!”

        I’m not getting blacklisted from the DSA as a sex-pest because I want to suck off the hot candidate who managed to get their endorsement…he is hot enough though that i was like “maybe I should just go canvass” (liberalism) but he’s MARRIED so he won’t be seeing my twink ass running around for his campaign anytime soon.

    Its such a bad teasekitty-birthday-sad

    And it sucks because my phone automatically IDs them as spam, but still leaves it as the first notification icon so I think it’s a legit textagony-shivering
