I like to cook for people I am chaotic, welcoming, atheist but not against religion, cis. Go on walls with my plush companion, Monkey. I do like GIFs!

I am going to try to sleep. Need to get up early-ish for my spa outing

Found you a slightly grumpy but very mindful bunny

A mediating white rabbit (drawing) it has a very intent expression. There is incense and a gong in front of it and a pot with bamboo behind it

He generally is ill for 4 to 6 days, he didn't have a fever this time, so that is good. (For reference, he has had several bouts of illness like this a year throughout his whole life. Currently he has it on top of LC and the episodes of PEM

I don't eat animal protein but I'll never call my diet 'cruelty free' because the people growing and harvesting the fruits and vegetables I eat work in conditions like this.

Cruelty to humans matters, too.

"Sara" has worked in Watsonville CAs strawberries for 16 yrs. "I earn piece rate. It's raining which makes the rows slippery and the mud sticks to our shoes. It's dangerous as we still need to work fast to make enough money to pay our bills." #WeFeedYou

By the morals of their times,

Slavers were hated by those they enslaved
Rapists by those who they raped
Murderers by the survivors

The morals of the past are the same as today. Assholes are assholes

I am kinda surprised that they haven't portrayed Milei as a stalwart defender of capitalism against the disruptive leftwing/drug cartel/eco terror forces of the rest of Latin America (however misguided, they have used that argument so often equally misguidedly)

It makes me think of the people who think their sperm will be worth gold and all women will covet them because they never got "the shot", they consider themselves pure.
However, the men who managed to have been uninfected might well be the producers of the better sperm .

Yes, very minor things can have inordinate effects. I had a mosquito bite on my shoulder last week and somehow I was so disrupted by it, like my whole body was different. So weird. Hand pain is a more logical disruptions

I hope the hospital can be meaningful for you. I hope that they are kind and understanding and that you can manage all the hard stuff.

Sending you hand repair vibes. Or just pain relief. I don't know, I guess both.

Hand pain is so annoying, it feels very limiting. Hoping for a quick recovery

Ik heb VWO met Engels als eindexamenvak, i believe i earned an 8. But i lost some of my grammar. Will that do?

Rowena @wijsgeer.bsky.social · 11h

Ok, that didn't work.

I had made an illustration with lino cut but I wanted it accompanied by text. It seemed a nifty idea to embroider my text and then use the textile dye to print the illustration. But the printing didn't work at all. So I ended up carving the text today.
