had to cancel big plans because of my muscle spasms, but tofu is ensuring my day isn't ruined

[stefon voice] tucson's hottest club is called friiiiiidddddgggge. this place has everything: chocolate syrup. thanksgiving leftovers. expired lunch meat. half a sheet of homemade blotter acid. and that weird expensive dipping sauce that your ex left when she moved out and you keep meaning to try.

tofu and i are about to lose all our caps at the ultra-lux

the 'dungeon crawler carl' series has become my latest comfort re-read, joining such all-time bangers as murderbot diaries, children of time, old man's war, expeditionary force, red rising, stormlight archive, and my og comfort read: animorphs 💙📚

i was almost asleep when i thought of some good backstory and lore for my starfinder character that i needed to preserve

tofu is has the most important job of in loading the dishwasher: supervising (from outside the dishwasher)

1. sex, evolution and behavior 2. mammal paleontology 3. race, class and ethnicity 4. insect taxonomy and phylogeny 5. archeology

favorite song over 10 minutes long? (specifically this version live with an orchestra)

player two has entered the cat bed over the heating vent

i harbor an irrational grudge against critters that create internal antifreeze, all because when i took herpetology in college i skipped the reading on this and thus failed a midterm, then never bothered learning it later because no way he'll ask the exact same question on the final OH WAIT

god bless tofu, every time i need to get up when he's in my lap i say "ok buddy..." and apparently i have a recognizably distinct inhale before i break the news because he now gets up before i have a chance to say anything

updated version of back to the future where he goes back to 1997 and wows the audience with "nookie" and some dude calls up fred durst like "yo fred you gotta hear this"

dear people who post reminders to eat, drink water, etc: thank you so much. i tried to stay off social media today and when i logged on at 3pm and was immediately reminded i hadn't eaten today, turns out i kinda depend on those posts

me, anytime i sit down and a cat settles in my lap before i realize i left my water bottle out of reach: "this is the worst thing that has ever happened to me"

my perfect little lap gremlin

no muscle spasms and no student loan debt on the same day?!

i had a really amazing er doctor last night. usually they'll give the minimum treatment for me to walk, but this dude was absolutely determined to fully break this episode. even tried out a new medication WHICH FUCKING WORKED! for the first time in weeks i am spasm-free!

enjoying this book while stuck in the hospital, away from my antifascist cats 📚💙

tofu, you are not wet clothes so please get out of the dryer

rocking that emergency room drip

every time i go to the emergency department, the reaction is either "why are you wasting my precious time?" or "holy shit why didn't you come in sooner?" with nothing in between. and there's no way to predict which i'll get based on my symptoms, it's all about the vibes of the attending doctor

absolute martian manhunter is fucking gorgeous 💙📚

spasms are real bad tonight, both me and my pacemaker are getting a workout

"injection" by rise against is on blast in my head any time my muscle convulsions get especially brutal. "knees are weak, hands are shaking, i can't breathe so give me the drug, keep me alive give me what's left of my life"

tofu is having a blast rolling around in front of the bathroom heat vent, presumably to make sure he gets heated evenly this time. will check tonight to see if he was successful or if he's gotten any more toasted

i put tesla's cat bed on top of a heat vent and he fucking loves it

why my cats are always excited for dnd day

y'all will never believe it (because i fucking didn't) but the people who declare themselves my friends and come over to my house weekly actually care about me as a person and don't expect me to hide my personality

tofu is helping me assemble my lego mantis

having a session 0 for the tmnt ttrpg today. sticking with the ninja turtles theme of naming characters after painters, i'm gonna name mine either 'banksy' or 'bob ross'

same, tofu. same.

the entire time i was typing out this rant, in my head it's spoken in a newfoundland accent like hitch from shoresy. "are ye sayin' boys or b'ys?"

there was some youtube/tiktok video where a "trendsetter" woman insulted men for never having a bedding color other than blue. me and the boys are still bitter about that one.

my mother just called me up at 11pm while on vacation, excited to have the solution for why i did not receive my new driver's license and tabs in the mail: did i stop checking my mail entirely FOR THE LAST ELEVEN MONTHS? jfc if i'm that incompetent the state is right to not let me drive

tofu's automatic toy is recharging so he's sleeping on it so he won't miss out on a single moment of fully-charged fun

she has never been afraid of anything or anyone. she is ten pounds.

i was finally cleaning my kitchen when i suddenly worry that i am taking machine gun fire turns out the final stages of washing a down comforter are violent af

i wish i could bottle up the feeling of safety and love that tofu feels when falling asleep next to me and gift it to all my loved ones

today was a challenge, but this puddle of purrs stuck by my side (or, more often, in my lap) for the whole damn thing and i appreciate the hell outta him for it

#FourComics that made me fall in love with comics

gotta pee but can't get up because cats

i hate when both celsius and fahrenheit gang up on us like this

i am struggling a lot as i come down from a drastic amount of benzos and other meds during my hospital stay. both cats are currently on mental health guard duty as i keep getting hit by sudden bursts of random, overwhelming emotions and start shaking or sobbing or hyperventilating out of nowhere

the woke mob is giving He-man pronouns

love when tesla curls up so smol
