Frenzy is still in awe of "cookies" after nearly 2 years. LOL

"Cookies" are Oxbow dry food triangles. I hype them up so the rats never feel like they are second class food. None goes to waste- the crumbs in the bags are kept to mix with baby food for sick times. #PetRats #RatsOfBlueSky

There has to be a better position for that bear to fall in for this inflatable. I should not wonder when my next pap smear is upon looking at a #Christmas yard decoration.

Me getting the first bus to my Dad's place at 7am tomorrow to avoid seeing my toxic Trumpnut sister in the afternoon. 🤣

RIP Patricia Routledge. Watching her and other British comedians on PBS Saturday nights was a big part of my childhood development!

It was my Dad's 82nd birthday yesterday. All he wanted was free liquor at his club. *sigh* He is who he is.

With the hard changes I have been making, I have begun healing after years of being burned out. My relationship with Dad has improved already. it was nice to be with him yesterday. 💙

Love this product pic depicting a haunted pet toy that has become possessed by a vengeful spirit, then begins angrily shooting treats at scared rodents.

A friend who works for a community library found a use for the t-shirt she ordered in a size too small. 💙💀📘

GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING, FOLKS. You just aren't being made aware of it. There's still plenty of positive going on in the world. Acknowledging and focusing on that doesn't lessen how much you care about the fight. You can do your part and find happiness in the light at the same time. <3

MASS WORLD PROTESTS THREAD:👇🧵

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.

While 90% of media (owned by 6 billionaires) were focusing on getting teachers fired for calling Kirk a nazi… there were mass protests all over the world!

Did you hear about any of them?

I dug up some videos:👇🧵

Boo hoo to not being wealthy enough to live my best life today at All Hallows Flea, but I did adopt this child to live amongst my tropical plants. Say hello to Zachary. The boy was spawned by Recycled Heads, who does incredible work, and does not charge an arm and a leg for it (pun intended).

Thank you to those who donate their "alternative wardrobe" (for lack of an umbrella term) to #thrift stores for those of us who cannot afford to buy what we want new from the brands. This sweet gothabilly dress was FOUR DOLLARS! Top 5 thrift find for sure. <3

Our local Halloween "Flea Market" is today! Always looking for opportunities to get my spook on and hang out with like-natured people! Thank you to @potokat.bsky.social for encouraging me, in so many ways, to bring my inner ghoul out through fashion, in my own way. <3

Oh, I have a couple stories about how she targeted me after that. LOL Even my therapist, who was involved with the program, noticed the hostility when she co-taught. Another good example of "they are people, too". LOL The DBT program should be scrutinized and modified just like any other.

It can be, for some. But for people who are depressed, wounded, anxious, low self-esteem, etc, this skill can go wrong unless a trained teacher can guide a person carefully to use the skill to the best effect. Or to teach the person that this isn't a skill for them, and to disregard it.

I argued with my DBT teacher with logic about this skill, and she got all huffy when I pointed out how Comparison can harm people, particularly vulnerable people in therapy, where the stuff is usually taught. Classmates agreed with me, teacher was pissed. Was ugly to me the entire course. LOL

I think people could spin the explanation of the skill to their benefit or detriment, but I think it is a skill that can go badly easily. It should be worded in official teaching materials sooooo damn carefully. I think it's a bit outdated, and should be remade to something similar but healthier.

From a DBT Worksheet online- "Compare how you are feeling now to a time when you felt different. Think about people coping the same as you less well than you. Compare yourself to those less fortunate. Watch reality shows about others’ troubles, read about disasters, others’ suffering." 😣

There's a DBT skill called "Comparison", and I hated it as soon as I learned it all those years ago. It just isn't good to be used often, and can lead to damaging habits. It can be so invalidating. I only employ it rarely.
