I did look it up and promptly forgot because I didn't get what the big deal is. It doesn't enrich my life, it didn't even hold my attention. But if people are pulling a scrap of joy out of it, power to 'em!

I am once again thinking about the woman seated behind me at a well-known sushi restaurant who exclaimed, "sush- su.. Shi? Mi... It's fish?!", and with great panic, "it's raw?!" I still wanna know what events led her to that moment specifically. I hope she's still having weird experiences.

Every time I think radio can't be that bad, someone rolls in to remind me why Bandcamp and Tidal are still better. At least I never need to hear any of *that* ๐Ÿ˜‚

...Pope. I work events in both the FGC and BDSM/kink scenes. Do NOT tempt me with this crossover, I can name three venues right the fuck now that I could pitch this to.

This goes out to bees, because I have a sore throat and honey is the greatest thing any animal has ever thrown up. It's a low bar, but they clear it with such ease.

Ain't shit you or me can do about, man. The system isn't broken, it's this way by design. We couldn't even rally around a basic fucking cause like "don't get each other sick". We're so lost.

God, travel is disgusting. Easily a dozen people in my immediate vicinity are coughing and/or sneezing, and there is exactly ONE other person here wearing a mask. I'll never forgive my fellow humans for politicizing giving a damn about each other. Normalizing infecting each other. It's so damn sad.

It's extremely difficult, and we have no help, no support, no resources... We can't stop working, we can't afford not to, but we can't support a declining human while also working full-time and managing our own life. I'm sorry. It fucking sucks.

A story in two parts: 1. It's always funny to me to overhear people surprised by their bar tabs. Babe, you ordered them, at what point did you lose count? 2. Amazing cost-saving measure: quitting drinking.

Sending hugs. My mom has been dead for almost four years, now, but that fear and stress that was dealing with her mental health struggles... It was a lot. And being her only surviving child, there was so much pressure to care for her when there was NOTHING I could do. Solidarity, homie. ๐Ÿ’œ

"Firebird" by Ashbury Heights: The futureโ€ฒs just a word Iโ€ฒm ignoring every warning Aimed at keeping me down When I could go higher I'm gonna reach out for the sun Iโ€ฒm gonna burn as bright as one Tomorrow I'm a bird And Iโ€ฒm not a bit concerned Icarus took a fall That I much admire

I've found a new weirdly specific delight and that is exploring a city you've never been to before, at night, just a liiiiittle high, and listening to Streamline by VNV Nation.

Boiling children to death in their own skin to own the libs. Or something. I guess. How the goddamn do people like that get to exist, actually endangering children in a tangible way, and us queers are STILL somehow accused of being a problem by trying to keep kids safe? Make it make sense ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I feel this. I'm content with the followers I have, and the people I follow, too. It's a quieter corner of the internet, and maybe that's not a bad thing.

Absolutely fuck flying anymore if you're disabled. Literally had a customer service rep from Southwest THREATEN me and my service dog, snap at my partner to stop talking when he tried to advocate for me during a panic attack, and all Southwest has to say is "sorry, we'll see you next time!"

Today's itinerary: Finish housesitting for my friends. Go home. Breathe for 14.75 seconds. Unpack. Do laundry. Prep house for *my* housesitter. Prep one dog for travel. Prep two dogs for stay. Re-pack. Try to sleep. Try not to cry. Fly out to Seattle before sunrise.

Starting the next chapter means ending the one you're currently on. It can be hard to recognize when this one has truly come to a close, but it's better to call it quits than to keep trying to write more story when there's nothing left to tell. Time to write some new characters in. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

Damn... It's sometimes very hard to reconcile these amazing creatures we call our friends and family, against their natural instincts that can be horrifying to witness. I'm so sorry.

TLDR: the animal care industry is very attractive to sociopaths who want to make a quick buck and don't care one shit about animals, and insecure people who want to take advantage of others are everywhere. Be careful.
