i feel like i have matured so much since i'm not arguing with her about it

bleh, now they're talking politics

Oh I've encountered that. Granted only from the pov of debunking it by a dermatologist but that is a thing online

update, thank goodness one of my aunts had 'legit', acceptable sunscreen

so the kid (and i) were able to use some

i don't have an issue with any kind of sunscreen, i just didn't buy any

I like the kind that doesn't make you too greasy. I feel like it runs less and I have an issue with it sweating into my eyes

yeah, i like that kind, i hate it when stuff feels greasy on my hands after i'm done spreading it

the longer this goes on the more i remember why i just don't talk to most of my family

so far my sister has confirmed she's still casually racist and homophobic

...no not homophobic, she's apparently fine with that

transphobic

mmm, more family drama

one of my aunts is acting like she's the only one in the whole damn family who cares about Grandma

she's always been like this but now she's screaming at my dad how she feels sorry for his granddaughter because he's in her life

Geez

Wuth your sister, man, sometimes I feel like labeling different forms of bigotry was a mistake by humanity. Too many people like to play the x phobic but not y phobic like it makes them better, when lol if you can hate one type of person like that, could easily extend it to others... just a bigot, flat out.

/kicks your sister. And your aunt

yeah...

I hope you can find some chill time in all this

honestly as long as i keep away from talking about this, my sister's okay to hang out with, and i do value my niece enough to put up with it for now

meanwhile my aunt is just blowing up from imagined slights

i would be happy to never see her again in this life

these family gatherings are all a bit of a whirlwind anyway, chill time doesn't really exist unless you go to bed early

...but yeah i am really glad my other, still unreasonable but not as crazy aunt, managed to shout her down about the wedding photo album

anything that goes into Crazy Aunt's house will get ruined, it's full of mold and who knows what else

of note, she was crazy before she moved into this house

Wow

we are all so done with the aunt i don't think any of us ever want to see her again

anyway i chatted with the more-reasonable aunt as she was leaving and apparently this is still about those fucking rocking horses

i wish they would all just have burned up in a mysterious fire

oh god I remember the rockinghorses story a while back. WTF why is this still a THING

i do not know, it's so fucking stupid

but on the other hand apparently my mother still hasn't let go of a grudge from even longer ago than the stupid rocking horse thing so

no one's hands are clean in this situation

...also i haven't liked this aunt since she and i almost threw hands while trying to divide up Grandpa's old coin collection abd that was 13 fucking years ago so. uh. yeah.
