This is a worse crime than all that shit Anakin did

After getting a big water drinkie, Dina must lick. She must dry her tongue on something. She must. Just now she chose my socked foot and now I have a sock wet with dog spit. Yay

I was doing so well. My energy levels were up. I was at a point where I no longer spent all day longing to go back to bed. I do ONE little 5-day stint in the hospital due to a raging infection in my kidney, and now I'm back to contemplating laying down on the filthy office floor at work.

Pay off debt. Help my sibling pay off *their* debt.

The tree survived the first night. Though there was an ornament mysteriously on the floor this morning 🤔🤔🤔

We survived Thanksgiving and have put up our Christmas decorations. Zelda climbed the tree before we'd even put lights on it. I see she's going to be Like That. It's going to make December interesting. I've already put eye-bolts in the window frame and anchored the tree with wire.

Please look at this precious flower arrangement my brother's family sent me

I am being discharged from the hospital after being here all week. I have been so, so sick you guys, and it was so awful the whole time for so many reasons. But the day nurse (Helen) and the night nurse (Godfrey) who took care of me are the absolute best people on this Earth i fucking swear.

This has been on my mind... Perfect for my OC Lark. #OCsky

I have to drive to a town two hours away to attend a wedding for straight people I don't even know, which I think is an absolutely tragic waste of a Halloween.

Happy Halloween, nerds. 🎃💀🦇

Son-man-boy

World's Finest jack-o'-lanterns this year.

The disability advocate at work is a feckless, incompetent jackass. 1 - suggested I use FMLA to take UNPAID TIME OFF when I'm sick from my LIFE-LONG GENETIC DISEASE. 2 - Did not send my boss the forms she needed to fill out for me, leaving her to seek them out herself.

This post brought to you by the "The Conjuring" marathon we're doing today

Anyone who wants to watch a horror movie but doesn't actually want to be terrified should just watch it with me. Because I ruin the whole "terrifying" experience by keeping a running commentary along the lines of "Oh, hey, that was icky, huh. Oh, the ghost is angy now. :( Oh no, he's so mad." Etc.

Zelda has now gained enough weight to develop a primordial pouch. Please congratulate her

I'm tired and I don't wanna move, so I'm gonna lay here and post nonsense. Sorry

T-shirt ideas: A crop top that just says "GAY NERD"

It was finally cool enough for me to wear a long-sleeved shirt today. 🙏🍂🎃

Covid is not over. People are still dying and becoming disabled every day. We rushed “back to normal” for the economy, not because the threat had passed. When you wear a mask, you’re not only protecting your health, you’re saying you don’t believe anyone is expendable.

Please look at my son Paterson. It is our 7th Paterversary today.

Concept: a comic book about a therapist who specializes in superheroes.

Hey, why are people still posting literally any images* of the dick-for-brains in chief? Like. I don't need to see his face. Just blot it out and draw a dick over it. *It is, of course, always appropriate to circulate images of him with Epstein

Zelda likes Dina's big, plush dog bed so much, so we got another, smaller one just like it. As you can see, it is working out just as we'd hoped.

Why the fuck should we be giving a shit about one more person having died of gun violence in America, the Dying of Spontaneous Gun Violence Capital of the World? I'm done talking about it. Everyone else who didn't know The Dead Guy, closely and personally, should also move the fuck on.

What if, instead of Christmas cookie boxes, I sent out Halloween cookie boxes?

I fucking hate chili. There, I said it. I hate it. It's like eating an entire bowl full of the most terribly seasoned tomato sauce you could possibly imagine, with gross chunks of ground beef and beans in it. Why?? I understand making a meal of what's available to you, but for fuck's sake.

Do this to voice your outrage at Disney's unjust cancellation of Kimmel and other people's shows for simply practicing their free speech, ASAP.

everything went downhill when they took porn off tumblr

The absolute ignorance. The mind-boggling lack of capacity for logic and awareness. That these motherfuckers literally claim to champion "free speech," then demand people be punished for saying mean things about a dead Nazi. I'm far from the first to point this out, but I continue to be flummoxed

Look at my son. Fluffy bowling ball with a head and a tail

Feeding Zelda: -Wash food bowl -open cat food -pick up cat from the countertop and place her back on the floor -scoop food into bowl -microwave food for 5 seconds -place cat back on the floor -stir food t -place cat on the floor -stir -place cat on the floor -stir food to -place cat on the floor

You can lead a dog to water, but you can't make them drink. But sometimes if you pour some water from your own water bottle into their already-full bowl, you can trick them into taking a big drinkie because now the water is *special.*

Skinny, tiny little Zelda is still eating everything in sight after almost 2 months with us, and is starting to get a round li'l belly.

How

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results: 1) Does UBI work? (yes) 2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

I long to touch a shark. I need to know what their fucked up tooth-skin feels like.

Guy: bragging to me about the specs of his fancy, expensive car. Me: "Wow, cool, bro. Oh, is it my turn to talk about something you have no knowledge of or interest in? Let me tell you about my extensive collection of pliers and the aspect ratios of all my jump rings."

Did it happen yet

I finally submitted a disability accomodations request at work today. Wish me luck. Literally all I'm asking for is more remote time to accommodate bad symptom days and medical appointments. (Currently I get one fixed remote day a week.) It literally would cost them nothing to give me that.

I only post on Fridays now because I'm dead the rest of the week

one very real, concrete way to help feed Gaza right now is through donating to World Central Kitchen

I waited until the end of the workday, then made off with all the leftover bagels. It's what I deserve.

This year Indiana University is cutting nearly 20% of their degree programs, and each individual schools/departments are mandated to cut their budgets by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Meanwhile, university president Pam Whitten gave herself a $200k raise and she gets a $225k bonus.

Yesterday was Black Cat Appreciation Day and I forgot to post pictures of my son. (I could not get him to be still for even a moment. He was very aggressive doing his "pets dance" at me, so they are all a little blurry.)

I wrote a cover letter the other day and I used Big Words from my Big Neurodivergent Vocabulary that I use in everyday speech, and all I could think about while reading it over was that anyone who read it would probably assume it was written by AI ☹️

I'm still alive. New diagnosis: PCOS (apparently I have "textbook" polycystic ovaries.) Goes nicely with my PKD. I'm actually just a collection of cysts in a trenchcoat.
