This heatwave is absolutely miserable but enne got us a treat ✨

Handclasp meme of trans people and autistic people sharing the experience of being yelled at/about by assholes who don't know shit about shit when we just want to go about our lives

an old but good frog for today

We're trying to teach him that laps are good (he likes to snuggle in a bed but almost never gets on the couch with us) and slowly we are finding success

Don't you dare put that baby in pelican mouth.

HAPPY BISEXUAL VISIBILITY DAY

The extra huge bummer is I was feeling very eager to do some writing last night but I was busy submerging my arm in water. I am fairly close to finishing a first draft and I want to get to it today if my arm will let me

Well I found a way to prop my arm on a pillow that mostly let me sleep at night, if I keep it very still the pain mostly fades and the moment I move at all it is incredibly painful. Let's see how well it handles working on a laptop for a few hours 🙃

Jesus christ this is awful, don't burn yourself is my expert advice

Had a run-in with some boiling water and now my forearm and the back of my hand are fucked!! Burns are my least favorite kind of pain.

Not non-binary as in "no gender" but nonbinary as in "Roger rabbit gender where whatever's funniest wins"

something that I think a lot, more and more these days, is "aren't you embarrassed? Isn't this embarrassing, for you?"

My consult with the ketamine clinic is in two weeks and I am trying to find the balance between "hold out for two more weeks and then maybe things can get better" and "don't be too hopeful about this because the disappointment if it is just another thing that doesn't help will be overwhelming"

Enne and I watched the new Rose of Versailles movie last night and honestly I think that is just too much story for a two hour movie! I am not sure if any of the emotional beats would land for someone watching this with no previous RoV exposure.

Sadly the light was not great in the dahlia garden today so I'm not sure how my photos will turn out but!! I saw some of my faves!

You know how sometimes a very ball-motivated dog needs to hold one ball in their mouth at all times even when chasing another one? I just saw a big excited lab who refused to drop the aerobie in her mouth while chasing frisbees

Fangs

The now-traditional birthday pie (emerald beaut plum & raspberry + oat crumble top)

We had to give Onyx gabapentin so we could clip his claws today and the poor lad is SO sleepy

A friend brought me this beautiful bromeliad flower. I admitted it in a vase for two days before I fed it to Jeremy. I couldn't help myself. Here is part 1.

Nothing hits like cis queer people banding together to be transphobic

Out of curiosity how do you get consent from a drawing. Like maybe you should worry less about whether or not a cartoon has rights and more about whether real life trans and Palestinian people do

Someone is in a fancy vintage car right in front of our house blasting the humpty hump song so loudly it's shaking the building and onyx is VERY displeased, his tail is so poofy

Ah, it turns out we adopted a vampire 🦇

Feels ridiculous to be grateful for any crumb of support but shit is dire out there

Thank you Chiitan ✨🏳️‍⚧️💗

I saw a commercial for a new antidepressant yesterday and I am 80% certain the voiceover was AI generated which is EXTRA DEPRESSING given the subject matter

The big man

You can tell I am a very emotionally stable dude right now because if onyx doesn't have his regular morning snuggles with me I get SO sad

epistolary fic: hit 11k words, I read the whole thing all in one stretch tonight to see how it feels as one unit vs just a collection of mini-units and...I think it's coming along pretty well??? great for a first draft so far for sure, we'll see how it eventually polishes up but I feel Powerful

my brain does all sorts of things after an edible but thinking "I'm saving this orgasm from hell!" while having an orgasm was one of the weirder recent ones

HANG IN THERE BABY!! #art

A group of small children is marching down the sidewalk outside my window singing the fanfare from the final countdown

Eel fact: this eel is cute

Intrusive thoughts have been very bad lately and unfortunately most of them are about onyx getting horribly hurt (usually because I did something wrong) but just for extra distress sometimes now enne is getting horribly hurt because I did something wrong

He loves his mousie 🐁🩶

They're letting me get my covid shot today but it was after both pharmacy tech and pharmacist being pretty aggressive with me and making me describe the specific underlying condition that makes me eligible (seems like you should just be able to say "I have one of the ones on your list")

My autocorrect turned veilguard into veilguy which just sounds like the purple dialogue option for a stealth mission Yes it's me, Rook Veilguy

What is with all this "you need Man Stuff to do your Man Activities, buy our soap for your Man Shower" marketing, I feel like I am in 2006 (the year in which my coworkers celebrated my legal name change with Man Gifts like an issue of maxim and axe deodorant and something called ManDelay)

I'm not really interested in observing my birthday this year, even less than normal, but I will just order the amazing plum and raspberry pie I buy myself every year around this time and I will take off work monday for a dahlia garden photo trip and I'll pretend it's for no reason in particular

Enne brought me some crispbread crackers and cheese and I feel like a little redwall mouse

Made another appointment to try and get my covid shot tomorrow. Let's see if I get to feel humiliated while trying to convince an unmasked medical professional to do their job this time

reading about a teenager being lovingly supported by her parents during an intense mental health crisis has brought up a lot of feelings, which I suppose I should have expected

Onyx has started greeting me with the chirp-n-flop routine when I come home, and he's started to enjoy foot-petting when he's in that mood too. It's so so sweet and also makes me miss Milly so much

can tell my ambient anxiety is up when I constantly grind to a halt due to thoughts like "oh god I fucked up and forgot something important, or made someone upset with me but I don't remember what it was, what did I do" when the answer, as far as I can tell, is "nothing, bro"

👅

Oh shit Enne got to a wicker man (spider??) boss in silksong and it is sick as hell, the boss designs are excellent

hmmmm maybe I should write another sonnet to shove into this epistolary fic just for extra fun, I do enjoy sonneting my last attempt was not great on purpose (composed extemporaneously by someone who was drunk) but what if I tried for something that was ok on purpose

Purr time 🔊
