"tradition matters" says Frito-Lay in their advertising, as they label their tortilla chips "flavored triangles"

this is my rock. it's also a bear.

happy migraine monday to all who celebrate

I hope he's reincarnated as a flea after his stint in hell

I really have to pee but I'm waiting for a technician to show up to (hopefully!) fix my water heater, appointment time of... now should I have stopped playing my video game earlier to take care of that? yes. did I lose track of time? of course. will I do better next time? absolutely not.

heartburn is the worst

bought a suit (a casual linen suit, but still) on ebay and the pants fit really well and the jacket is only slightly big, so that's a win

working on my apocalyptic setting for when it's my turn to run D&D the world is falling apart but the people are making things work by working together also the monsters are real weird

rage and exhaustion

I have a tank top from Old Navy circa 2002 that I still sleep in. It has one small hole that's recently started getting bigger so I really need to mend it, but other than that it's in pretty good shape.

ice cream is my best safe food because my autism can count on it for consistency, even when I get different flavors to keep my adhd satisfied.

it would be neat to not have a headache

unexpected but obvious benefit of a 2-in-1 style tablet/laptop with removable keyboard is that the part that gets warm isn't the part on your lap in laptop mode, thus being actually usable during a summer afternoon in an RV in Florida

turns out no one can stop me from eating a plum and a handful of almonds and several oreos and going to bed early when I get up later to take my nighttime meds maybe I'll make some rice with butter and soy sauce for a midnight snack

my best tip for burnt out former gifted kids is half-assing the overwhelming household chores you've been avoiding. then, critically, mark them as done on your list no matter how half you assed them. do a bad job and accept the win. there are no grades, and your kitchen is now a little cleaner.

if you're gonna doomscroll you should pet a snoozing dog at the same time, to counteract the bad vibes and remind yourself that there's some pretty great stuff in the world, like dogs

I take a lot of satisfaction from the fact that I, an unemployed autistic person with chronic depression and itchiness and a sensorily difficult living situation, am more well-adjusted and receptive to joy than the richest men in the world.

congrats to New York and their Knicks. sports fans are so good at celebrating and I love to see it

you can just go to the library, find a book, and then go read it in a park. and as a bonus, you get to look at dogs, and eavesdrop on the youth at the next picnic table over. shit's bad, but there are libraries and parks and dogs and youths, and that counts for something.

makeup secrets for tired people: get more sleep so you have enough energy to do your makeup.

Genuine advice for helping yourself out of a bout of (worse-than-usual) depression: make yourself some gender-affirming accessories. I didn't expect the antidepressant effect but I'll take it. (If you don't know any crafts, I suggest crochet. It's how I made these and it's pretty easy to learn.)
