My mom is going to actually have a wedding next year, and wants my help with a dress. She’s more interested in something strange, sculptural, and colorful than something traditional, so I’m casting my lines out—
Any peeps specialize in sewing things like that? 💖

That’s one of the worst feelings, I know, but it’s so good that you stopped and did the kindness of moving him; that respect for his life is more than a lot of wild creatures get, and I’m glad you did it. 🖤

So far, every time I remember to take a picture of my mom this visit, it’s always when she’s spoiling the Sausagecat 😂

(She’s a very good cat grandmother 💖)

A photo of my mom (a dark olive-skinned Italian-American woman in her 60s, with dark brown eyes and long silver-white hair, wearing a colorful blouse and blue jeans) on the couch, the Sausagecat (a black and white tuxedo cat) curled up against her leg while my mom pets her. In the background, my nesting partner, Joe (a medium build white guy in his 30s with shaggy brown hair, wearing jeans and a blue tee) is visible, hunched over his phone at his computer desk.

A photo of my mom (a dark olive-skinned Italian-American woman in her 60s, with dark brown eyes and long silver-white hair, wearing purple leopard print shorts and a purple Maine tshirt as pajamas) on the couch, the Sausagecat (a black and white tuxedo cat) curled up against her leg while my mom holds an empty container of yogurt for the cat to lick clean.

A photo of my mom (a dark olive-skinned Italian-American woman in her 60s, with dark brown eyes and long silver-white hair, wearing a blue nightgown and colorful kimono-style jacket) on the couch, the Sausagecat (a black and white tuxedo cat) perched in her lap. My mom is looking up and asking me something while typing on her phone; the cat looks mildly annoyed that my mom has stopped petting her in favor of using her phone.

Why yes, I *do* try to make sure I let Kpop Demon Hunters play through on my tv at least once a day, even if I have it on mute while I’m working on other things, and no, I *don’t* think it’s weird at all. 👀
I wanna keep their actual view numbers up, too, not just the song plays. 😅🤷🏻‍♀️✨

(The pot only didn’t burn all the way through/catch things on fire because I smelled it from 2 rooms away and came out and turned off the stove, because I know that smell *really* well by now. 🤣 She blew up our stove twice in my childhood that way 😂😭🤷🏻‍♀️ And now ya bitch has hella OCD and anxiety, hm~)

To clarify, I’m glad my mom is here, and despite clashes here and there, am largely enjoying her presence!
It just *definitely* also involves some darkly humorous realizations about why I’m *like this* 😆😂😭
(ex: in her first 24hrs, my mom left the stove on and nearly burnt through one of my pots 🤣)

(That’s not new, that’s *since I was born*, hence my *pathological* need for friends and partners who are *actively happy* to be regularly reassuring, because my brain has *literally never felt safe* because I had parents who “respected me too much to lie” by ever giving me baseline reassurances. 💀)

Having my mom here on her own, (without my stepdad,) I’m getting reminded of (and Joe is getting to learn) where *so many* of my mental health issues come from. 😆😂😭

“Mom, please, could you just reassure me and tell me it’ll be okay?”
“Well, I can’t lie to you, I don’t know anything will be okay.”

wtf do you MEAN lots of people use the bathroom on a schedule and know when they’re gonna have to poop in advance??
unless you always eat the same thing and do the same activities each day, HOW can it always be at the same times each day??

this, THANK YOU, because my disabled ass cannot manage protests anymore
😭🖤🙌🏼🖤😭

Reminder as big protests are coming up:

I will block the shit out of anyone who says those who don’t go out and protest are bad for some reason, or complicit in everything that’s happening because they don’t.

It’s ableist as hell.

Today was pretty rough, but tonight was decent. I’m tired. Told Mom I need to slow down on both the physical and mental activity or I’m gonna burn out. This is the first time in months that I’ve left the house 3 days in a row without collapsing; I don’t wanna push it.

“…ocean…where the fuck are we, what ocean?…oh, okay, lemon shark, that’s…warm places mostly…Gulf of Mexico, maybe—FUCK TRUMP IT’S NOT AMERICA’S GULF, OUR ONLY GULF IS THE GULF BETWEEN THE WORKING CLASS AND OUR OPPRESSORS—oh, hey, hi again, lemon shark buddy! …did you know they’re polyandrous?…CUTIE”

I also wanna make a drunk history type show but call it “inebriated experts” and you can consume whatever you want to get intoxicated, and then we play documentary footage of things in your field…on mute…and you have to attempt to narrate over it while never having seen it *and* being off your face

✨🌸Astrid Indigo🌸✨ @astridindigo.bsky.social · 2d

my mom and Joe are maybe slowly talking me into making like…rifftrax but with me doing drunk history but not drunk, just brain damaged anthropologist and author, talking over movies and shows and analyzing them as visual anthropology, literature, and art? 😆🤷🏻‍♀️
is that even a thing? CAN it be? 🤔

I get “there are probably some femme ones and some masc ones and otherwise how are they reproducing?” vibes 🤔
Like I feel like femme absol would have longer, more afghan dog fur, while the masc would have more dense, coarse fur? 🤔💖
