What the fuck dystopian shit is going on that I just got a *rubella vaccination disinfo* email from an organization who clearly got my email from some other US policy healthcare activism organization (who knows which one). RUBELLA TRUTHERS??? I'm unspeakably furious.

Nothing like a tooth being sharply sensitive to cold all of a sudden. I'm convinced I've broken it by biting on a stray olive pit or something. That's unlikely, but I'm always paranoid about luxury bones.

Weency says fight it. Then, you'll get new water once you've slapped all the tainted water out of the bowl.

The milk just attracts Weency, who is not doing her share of chores around here as it stands.

Seriously, where are the brownies I was promised? Not the girl scouts, the useful ones (though the girl scouts may bring gluten free cookies and I will happily donate to their cause).

The distinct lack of helpful sprites and woodland creatures to do my chores and cook my food feels like a personal affront and I desire restitution.

It is glorious. I didn't know I had an inner funk machine, so it's been quite the journey!

There are lots of things to rightly critique FDR for. But they have 0 to do with his mental acuity or his mobility. (Also, he had the best First Dogs.)

Same here. I need the chair far less since starting testosterone, but there are days I can't really get around at all. The only way that impacts my cognition is that pain makes it hard to think, not impossible to ever attempt it!

Good to know that my mobility aids are what make me unfit for any position of power or influence. For, as we all know, once you're a cripple, you're basically brain dead, too. Critique Biden for a host of things he's done, not for the spectre of perhaps needing a damn rollator.

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

My brain decided this is the hour for the Litany: I am a failure and have no future and no talents and I want to get a PhD so it looks like I've achieved something when in reality I'm a waste of education and opportunities. Brain needs to go to jail for one thousand year.

Covering everything with her sheddings is crucial, especially the very dense, fluffy hairs with a wavy texture, they refuse to come up.

Every time I pet Weency, little clouds of fur float away. But will she let me brush her? Of course not, she's saving all her shedding for important things, obviously.

I have to take this damned Creative Process class *again* because my last prof never turned in grades before the school closed. Third time's a charm? I hope?
