@bones@todon.nl All right, fair

Why do they even produce non-sour gummi worms, like what is the point of them?

Dentist office: So have you started any new medications since we've seen you last?
Me: HECK YEAH I HAVE

@shivvi it's the most expedient method I had available at the time!

UPDATE I succeeded in licking it off

ugh I got chocolate on a weird side of my arm that's hard to get to my mouth to lick it off, what am I going to do

I think maybe support groups aren't for me

I just found out the cat is Catholic. I mean he pointed out I never asked him but I still feel like this is something I should have known about

This actually happened like a month ago, I just remembered it now because I am ::ahem:: currently listening to Pearl Jam

One of the cool ladies at work saw my untucked plaid shirt under a cardigan (which is basically my defacto work uniform) and said,
"Hun, what, are you a 90s grunge throwback?"
Obviously I replied "I WISH," like in all caps just like that

@mxsparks Pickles are important for self-care after a stressful situation and I'm glad you have them

I'm sorting through ten to fifteen years of random .txt and .doc files in my documents folder, ideas and notes and reminders and fragmentary stories and dreams I had and reminiscences, and doing my best to consolidate and organize them somehow.

Oh fuck I opened the window next to my computer and all the dusty cat hair under my desk started blowing around all over help what do I do how do I stop this

Out on the road today

Regular reminder that freedom of speech is a legal construct designed to protect you from government retaliation, not social censure from your fellow human beings. If you say shitty things, expect people to hate you.

Also I looked at my parents' weird dog

So I had a weirdly stressful/cathartic weekend visiting my parents and brother that I don't completely want to talk about, but I went to Ulta with my mom where I got an "excuse me ladies" from staff even though I wasn't strictly in the highest girl mode I can be?

then I missed the monthly trans meetup group again but watched Thor: Ragnarok with my mom and brother, which was pretty great anyway

People seem a little confuse about responsibility to fight oppression.

If there is a system that oppresses and kills people for YOUR benefit, you are morally obligated to oppose it. Even if you yourself did not commit a crime, it is for YOU.

Yes, I'm talking to you, white people, men, cis people, heterosexual people, rich people. We ALL are *morally obligated* to tear apart a system that hurts other people for our benefit.

Keep your solar propaganda in church where it belongs
