I know there is a convention that governs this and it probably matters but also

I got photo evidence before I left

how does one "get up" under these conditions?

I live in a very tiny studio apartment with my cat. If I move 3' from my bed to my recliner, he follows. Another 3' to the dining table? Must sit on my lap or on the table. Cooking? In the kitchen. Bath? Edge of the tub. He is my shadow at all times.

I use Lingvano to keep up my ASL skills and I love it, don't get me wrong, but sometimes my translation is correct in concept but not what they want and it deeply frustrates the overachieving perfectionist in me to get docked points even if there are no consequences. Former gifted kid vibes.

fair

is it ethical? no. is it mentally unhealthy? let me run that by my therapist next week. I have to get the shots and other bloodwork done anyway. Why not git er done? It's not for a couple weeks, but it's my best bet right now. if it's biomarkers they want, biomarkers they will get.

experimenting with the hashtag, let it be cringe

Not my screenshot bc I wasn't that quick and then couldn't find it again on the site, but the same ad from someone else who got it. Fucking dystopian.

oh yeah the laparoscopy is done while you're in what I later learned is called the Trendelenburg position, head toward the earth and coochie to the sky, to let gravity pull your other organs out of the way 💀 that might fuck with your joints but 1.5 weeks later it likely isn't what I'm dealing with.

I'm late to the International Cat Day party but it's because Sid was on my lap and I was studying. He's a lap-seeking missile and I love him very much.

the kids chanting the verse with hand motions in like a children's choir made me think of the concerts we did with the Christian Homeschool Music Program, which I was in choir and band in from 5 years old through my sophomore year of high school. we absolutely did that kind of shit. behold

I'm sorry, I'm high as fuck but the Umbrellas of Protection came from Bill Gothard?? For those unfamiliar, that's the layers of authority that protect us weaker vessels from Satan, see the attached. Our group also used this and my sister fucking REFERENCED IT IN HER NONSENSE TODAY 🤣

see the attached roast if you need evidence. listen, it's not my fault I have complex trauma and shitty joints, I'm doing the best I can 😭

"Natural flavorings" is an excellent example of why folks with allergies or MCAS can't trust ingredient labels. Here's the FDA's definition of a "natural flavor." It's so many things that eating anything with "natural flavors" on the ingredient label is like playing Russian roulette.

I'm both concerned and delighted with this lineup. Top 4 you recognize from your results on openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac...

Baby goats to brighten your day.

Walked into the office after hours and the counselor and a teacher were joking around a little homoerotically and I said "guess I'm no longer the gayest looking person in the building" and the secretary did a spit take

I love those! Alt text would make them more accessible too

show me you in meme form

So. My friend sent me a reel of chicken pot pie filling stuffed twice baked potatoes, and I recreated it for my dietary needs, swapping the peas out for mushies and making a roux out of roast chicken drippings, corn starch, and oat milk for the base. Got stoned and added a fried egg. Behold.

This demon is a lap-seeking missile. Very snuggly, very eepy. His name is Obsidian, but he has a single brain cell so I call him Sid for short, like the sloth from Ice Age.

Floofy booty for caturday! He loves falling asleep on my lap like this

When you have a playful cat and dermatographia. For some reason this tablet camera was like "no color for you" but they are quite red irl

My 2nd grade's lit curriculum had a Greek Mythology unit, so I used that topic in my ELD class. After reading about the gods and goddesses, they chose their faves. When they asked for mine, I said Artemis and Hestia. "Both of them stayed single FOREVER. Do YOU want to stay single FOREVER?" 💀💀💀
