Screaming internally is for amateurs. Scream out loud so EVERYONE knows you’re unstable

I thought I wanted to take an art class but when I couldn’t find anything that interested me I realized that what I actually want is someone to bully me into making art within a set of parameters and then tell me I did a good job after.

Tfw you accidentally unlock a vague memory of a movie you watched once on a rainy afternoon in 1987

Unfortunately one of the side effects of my dog aging is that he no longer has any definitive control over his tail. Sometimes he can still wag it but sometimes it just limply hangs there, or lifts enough where we wonder if he’s just stretching or about to poop. It seems confused, as does he.

I spent pretty much all of last month working on some art pieces that now I really think look terrible. Feeling pretty down, kicking rocks, etc etc

Well I’m happy I’m part of the roughly 13% of my city’s population that showed up for our municipal election today, because now my bitching about potholes on my street has some real substance to it.

I had multiple kittens take naps on me today, so I’m having a very good day.

Seems a little rude to advertise a 25th edition of Nana like, yeah enjoy that 20 year old devestating cliffhanger that never gets resolved

Will I win the race and get my peonies split and bulbs in the ground before the first frost?

Odds are not looking great 😬
