Everything in its global capacity makes me want to howl in despair and then bury myself in a rotting log to die, SO I'm making a post about the stuff keeping me from doing that, which I hope will grow to an ongoing thread I can look back through 300 times a day when I need to.

GOD ALSO- I liked the "60sec to name all the words you can that begin with [letter]" one (I got A, S, and F), but I'm still a little embarrassed at the words that pop out when under pressure. Looking at you, "sulubrious" and "fornicate".

💀🔪🙃 brain why
I did great at the list of words test though. That first list is in my head forever now, for better or worse, probably displacing some actually useful pieces of information but 🤷 oh well!!
I told the evaluating doctor very frankly that if I had to do both parts in one day like they typically do, I would have been curled up on the floor hyperventilating by the second test, so - VERY grateful for the separation, very grateful for Guus as a grounding point. Phwooof.

Part 2 (all the tests) of Neuropsych Eval was this morning and even having brought Gustav + an empty building since weekend day to reduce stress and undue stimulation, I am still very.

??? But very, of whatever it is.

#lrp bumping again + NOT SORRY bc is there anything better than discovering the joy of getting tattoos, this would be only the second one for this person and we must keep the obsession ALIVE plus your money ends up in the pocket of a tattoo artist of color and a woc-owned tattoo shop which, awesome.

Alright. Rex's fav tattoo artist is doing a flash thing this weekend. And I'd really like that to be her xmas present.

The problem is... money. Job stuff is kind of in limbo and $$ is really tight right now.

Think we could crowdfund $150 by Saturday? 😀

One of the few okay things about being poor/having nothing of real value is that you can adopt a weird horsebear of a dog who can't self-regulate on his own, so when he tears something up to process any feeling he has- meh. No great loss. Glad you got some feelings out destroying that $4 pillow. 🤷😂

Is there a term for what I've just been calling "mental echolalia"? Like when you see a license plate or street sign and repeat the string of numbers/letters over and over in your head for no voluntary reason?

Gustav's first vet visit was today and it went just fine; he had other vets and techs asking to come in to our room to say hi to him and get leaned on, and it reminded me so much of how loved and loveable Bart was anywhere she went and I'm happy for Gus, but hearthurty missing my babygirl.

I have to send a follow-up email to the Neuropsych evaluating doctor before part 2 this Saturday, including stuff I forgot to mention in part 1, which means being extremely real and honest about Certain Things I keep extreeeeeemely hidden/masked/whatever and I DO NOT WANT TO DO IT.

thread. this feels like a missed step when people talk about the "vibecession"; the income of the poorest went up faster than the inflation rate, but the components of that inflation hit them harder than others, leaving them worse off in spite of the on-paper improvement
The affordability crisis is an inequality crisis. When prices spike in key sectors, it's not just inflation—it's a massive redistribution shock that hits poor households hardest.
In our **new working paper**, we identify the sectors that matter most. A thread 🧵

When you can't help but laugh because you just wanted to use writing a song about tuna as an excuse to get the company to pay for your fishing trip and now you're about to perform the tuna song (extended version) in concert with half your group's dance line because your fandom has no chill.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

(Choosing the current go-to; idk how people survive without watching their faves over and over a billion times. I have so many more.)

Always remember your “fuck you make me-s.” When you see a bully, challenge a bully!
In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.
