It's so ick, and I think we all have to talk about the nuances of power imbalance etc, even if it *seems* at times that something is consensual. It's difficult for many to understand that something can be against someone's will, even if their mouth & their deeds make it look like they're agreeing.

Or text someone while driving. Huge pet peeve of mine, going nearly into the bushes off the road when the driver was sneakily texting while going 120 km/h. But I was the baddie for making a fuss.

Bad skin day but yeh, no filter. Smiley wrinkles. 😊

I'm so glad that my wrinkles all turn out to be ones from smiling a lot. You never know how that shit turns out as you age - I was always worried that when I'm old, I'll be reminded of what shit times I've had in life. Instead, my body goes, nah, you've had bloody hilarious times, let's show that.

Sometimes small changes make all the difference, huh? I must say, since I'm no longer living in a mouldy hovel, my airways have had way fewer issues. Woo!

It's so idiotic, I ooze out like 500ml of phlegm/hour, don't have a voice, but feel awesome otherwise. When I really do feel rubbish from a cold, ie in various pains, inflamed, exhausted etc, I usually seem outwardly completely and utterly asymptomatic. The fuck.

I think I know why the kid's blood sugar is so high. I think she snuck what she thought was cheese, but really it was vegan cheese and that has carbs in it. And this is why we don't sneak any food, sigh. She's got type 1 diabetes.

It's all spelled way too correctly, you have to use words like "cud" "wud" "shud, way many more "lol"s and a ton of uppercase, and 100% no punctuation, except dot dot dot...

I know very little, but the truly funny thing to me is that I said to the other person in the room with me "OMG betcha she's married to her cousin LOL!" - and then like the second thing on Google was her literally saying "me and my husband found out we're related", and I was howling!

I vacuum pack my meats before freezing and then submerge them in a bowl of lukewarm water for thawing. Microwave is a bit BS... In Germany, I used to just chuck them lump of frozen mince into the pan and sear/defrost at the same time. Not sure why I stopped it here.

BTW, the super fuckwit today is a rural woman from quite a well-known cooker town. Married to her own relative, which she only found out after marriage, and publicly talked about in another FB group. Awks. I didn't bring that one up. I kind of just said "Ok, hun! ❤️" a lot. And " *girl ❤️"

Anyways, TLDR, got thrown out of a FB bird group because I said was a little over people feeding birds rice, photos of dirty feeders, people being like "But they like fatty seeds and google says it's perfect!" etc etc. Misgendering dunce wasn't thrown out. That was cool for them. 🤪

They can misgender me all they like it it makes them feel warm and fluffy inside. 🤷‍♂️ Or whatever. Oooo wow now you've given it to me by implying I was a different gender, boohoo. How ... er..... I don't even know. 🤣 I don't even know. Says all about them and nothing about me.

I'm also German-born, and I'm the big cliché of a very direct Germanic-stemming person, for better or worse. Unfortunately. It's the polite thing to do in my culture - why waste anyone's time. Plus, neurodiverse in various ways - I don't have certain filters. Also not necessarily great.

Usually, I can't be bothered, and I can literally read all comments on RNZ stories or whatever and just block each and every "What does that mean?!" (when someone uses te reo - we'll never get along). A hobby. But don't you poke the bear. This is the bear that will keep biting til you block it.

Can't argue with you here, I feel that. I'm very liberal with merely blocking dumb fucks, but if you basically yell at me, misgender me - or anyone else, really, zero tolerance - I will be the finest pain in your butt until you give up. I can be way more persistent than a n y o n e out there.

A reimagination of my genitals as drawn in MS Paint seems the only right response. But she'd get me banned because you can be mean, racist and misgendering all you like, or even make native birds explode by feeding them rice, but it's body parts that get you banned.

I'd never purposely misgender even the most unpleasant of humans on purpose, and especially not by misgendering. There are lines I won't cross, even if I think they're total dumb c-words.

Over lunch, I easily caught about a thousand ants. I probably need a hundred or so over a few days, so that was a bit much. Happy mantis to have a few, though! Trying to mix it up for her.

I've got about 2ml of the nicest scent ever made, and instead of putting it on me, I now put it on my mouse pad so it goes a longer way. It's the perfume Motte released alongside her last album. It's divine. She's got none left to sell and it's killing me.

My brain feels half paralysed today. I just cannot make myself do certain things, and I don't get it why it does that sometimes. Stupid little things, like, just take your f'ing supplements, they're RIGHT THERE. FFS.
