I am incredibly fortunate in that I have an abundance of stuff and am in a position to share when someone expresses a need. This post brought to you by the lady I just bombarded with 20 questions on size and style preference for a woman in the community who has a need for work wear. 1/2

It’s okay if you have to rest sometimes. Your body knows what it needs. Just don’t forget your meds. Be sure to drink your water because you need to be hydrated to be healthy. And moisturize your face, just for fun.

If someone tells you they can’t give you anything but love remind them sarcasm is also freely on offer. Then ask if they took their meds and drank water and moisturized cause those things are also a solid choice. (You took your meds right?)

When was the last time you went through your beauty products and trashed anything expired? (General timeline for those so inclined to follow — I’m so not joking about this) 1/8

Today is a good day to make Mychal Threets proud of you. Read a book that brings you joy. Some people read by listening. Some people read by touch. Some people read with their eyeballs. All reading is reading. Remember your meds and have some water!

If you’re worried that nobody cares and you over share, remember you’re being too hard on yourself. Also take your meds, have some water, and moisturize something. Making good choices is a solid decision. You’re loved, don’t you forget it.

Listen, sometimes self care is eating a cold pork chop sandwich standing up in the kitchen super late, but hey you’re still winning because you met your goal and had protein for dinner and it wasn’t takeout. Remember your meds, have some water.

I hope you had a fun Wednesday! I hope it was full of cool things and you got to give scritchies to an animal of your choice. I also hope you remembered your meds and had some water. Don’t forget to moisturize before bed!

What’s the difference between a cat and a comma? One has claws in its paws and one has a pause in its clause. Take your meds, drink your water, moisturize something.

Don’t forget your meds. Have some moisturizer before bed and maybe slap some water in your face. Something like that.

Regular reminder that you are someone’s reason for logging onto this app. Yeah, you. You’re important. So take care of you: meds, water, moisturizer. We love you and you should live your best life.

Your Saturday may have rocked, or maybe it was terrible. Either way, you made it and you were magnificent. Make sure you take your meds before bed, have some water, and moisturize your face. Sunday is around the corner.
November 23, 2025 at 12:20 AM
Consider this your sign from the universe—you should go ahead and take your meds if you haven’t yet. Have some water right quick and slap some moisturizer on your face.
November 21, 2025 at 11:56 PM
You are doing so amazing, look at how hard you’re rocking this Thursday thing! Double check you took your meds, have some water, and put some moisturizer on your face before bed so Friday is even better!
November 20, 2025 at 11:13 PM
Quick check-in: did you take your meds? I bet you totally did remember those today. Good job you! You probs even had water. Treat yourself to something special tonight, you earned it being all great and stuff.
November 20, 2025 at 12:30 AM
Did you do something good for yourself today? You did? I am so proud of you. I hope that means you took your meds, or had some water. Moisturize before bed, you deserve it.
November 19, 2025 at 12:16 AM
The seasons are changing and not all of us are good at this yet: does your skin (maybe your face, or maybe your hands) feel tight or itchy? That’s your body telling you, your dry. Take some time to slather on some moisturizer.
November 17, 2025 at 11:51 PM
Imagine being loved the way you love and know that you deserve it, you passionfruit. Or idk maybe you’re a dragonfruit. I don’t judge. While you’re manifesting your best life make sure you remember your meds, water something, and moisturize yourself.
November 16, 2025 at 11:18 PM
It is Saturday night. Have you taken your meds? Did you drink some water? What’s the thing you’re proudest of that you did today? Me? I put away folded laundry because I would rather do anything but the sink of dishes.
November 16, 2025 at 12:45 AM
If you don’t terrify people at least a little you’re missing out. Maybe reconsider your life choices. Also have some meds and drink your water and moisturize something, it’s fall, you’re probably dry as hell and can’t tell till your legs start to itch.
November 14, 2025 at 11:57 PM
Hey friendo, I see you doing that thing. I may not be able to tell what it is yet because you’re at an awkward place in the process—doesn’t matter, I can see the love and attention you’re putting in. That project is ART. You should be so proud of you. Take your meds!
November 14, 2025 at 1:03 AM
If you made it through today without going full King Lear and cursing the sky you’re doing great. And hey, if you did happen to insult the heavens you have chutzpah so good job too. Just remember your meds, moisturize, and hydrate.
November 12, 2025 at 11:56 PM
Thing no one tells you about gifs: there you are minding your own business looking for something to add flair to your comment and BAM suddenly you’ve got Milli Vanilli stuck in your head. Take your meds and some drink water. Ooo ooo oo ooo I love you.
November 12, 2025 at 12:10 AM
*Suzanne Sugarbaker voice* EXCUSE ME! I SAID EXCUSE ME!

*ahem* Now that I have your attention. Did you take your meds? Doom scrolling is hard work, you should definitely go drink some water. Moisturize.
November 11, 2025 at 12:57 AM
Hey friend, be kind to Monday’s-you and do something before bed to make your life easier—maybe you just put out your clothes for tomorrow. But also remember your meds and have some water and maybe also moisturize something for fun.
