I'm a queer non-binary neurodivergent human who makes things.
time to take my meds and then it's back to bed for me. tomorrow we will be thankful for the day of my birth.

I pet a dog
I sleep a nap

we doing Thanksgiving food takes?

potato peels have no place in mashed potatoes. and Thanksgiving is on my birthday this year, so what I say goes.

the best post-vaccine food is chocolate cake

when you're in the middle of a course of vaccines you can go back to bed whenever you want that's just the rules
November 23, 2025 at 10:37 PM
I had coffee and leftover cake and now it's raining very loudly so it seems the only thing to do is go back to bed

women's bodies belong not just to men but also to the state

endless screaming
Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.

This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.

waiting for the first of three more stabbings

Thanks, Bingo, you horrible little chihuahua that I love because someone has to
November 21, 2025 at 8:29 PM
look at him. the most indestructible little weirdo who decided to charge a raccoon and came out practically unscathed. I had to get stabbed with needles six times, so he got a rabies booster stab too even though he probably didn't need it.

a rabies vaccine, just what I've always wanted for my birthday

(the stupidest chihuahua attacked a raccoon and everyone involved is somehow fine. I have a tiny scratch and we're being incredibly conservative because, well, raccoon.)

I was in the shower, had a thought about something I wanted to... do? look up? and I cannot remember what it was at. all. my brain is so often no good at its basic functions and I am very annoyed.

feeling crappy but I still washed half the dirty dishes so it's almost like I'm a functional human

ever since I got covid in 2022 I have a bout of coughing after eating more often than not. fortunately that's the only notable long-term thing I got.

(I do suspect I already had mild MCAS and it may have been slightly exacerbated, which may actually be causing the post-food cough.)

look at this little dingus in his winter sweater, snoring away

side effects of putting on your favorite jeans and your nice boots and a comfy flannel shirt and leaving the house for the evening include: actually doing your skincare; putting on music for dancing around doing some tidying and organizing before bed; sore feet from those boots (can't win 'em all)

things you say to your partner when you're in your 40s: "can we go to target for date night this week? I need to pick up more protein powder and some bins for organizing my closet."

if they're not going to patch out migraines, they could at least remove the increased chance to get one during menstruation, that's just unfair

there is a truly expansive variety of tattoos one could get while young and drunk that are entirely unrelated to nazis

you've heard of getting a beer with the boys but what if the boys were your two dogs and getting a beer was taking a nap on the couch
October 21, 2025 at 7:11 PM
me, to Bingo, after he finally found the treat he tried and failed to take from my fingers:

"aww, good job! you found it! you're a basically competent dog!"

I was my partner's and his mom's ride to and from the no kings event, and I went to do some shopping in the interim. We just got home, and it's about the time I'd normally be getting out of bed or maybe drinking my "morning" coffee.

earlier this evening I got cactused. then just now when I took my socks off I got recactused.

pretty sure cacti invented adding insult to injury
