was kinda invited ( a plus 1 ) to fam b'day party

but near everyone there hates me, even had people shun me or call me names. mil constantly disses and baits me with hate , and many are raging bigots/haters

but I kinda understand and like the b'day girl, she tries hard to be a good person ( tho she never contacts me , i never contact her )

don't want to go, won't go, but will send gifts because maybe one day they will learn to look at how people behave and learn to not listen to gossip

I would listen to your gut and protect your mental health if you need to. You deserve respect and not to be treated like that.

If the birthday girl is close to you then perhaps you and she could arrange a coffee? If not sending best wishes and a gift is fine in my book

Edit: But that’s just me. I’ve been worn down to a really low tolerance for toxic situations and would genuinely prefer to isolate than put myself through them

I think I'll listen to my gut

And we aren't close.

Bought a lil indie game called Tiny Glade. Super fucking chill, no management, no quests, no objectives. Just some basic tools, cute, tilt-shifted graphics, and you build a tiny lil town. It's adorable and so so relaxing. I was worried for a moment about it being perhaps too barebones, but I've built a main street, a lil castle, raised some land and made a flower hill with a lake, and made a silo. There's a lot they could add, but it's a bit procedural in a way (increasing/decreasing the size and shape of a building causes it to generate to make sense). Coloured everything I could colour. I have so much more to build for my little hamlet
