Today in shit my dad says:

"Of course estrogen makes you feel good, it makes everyone feel better" 🤨

Lyra Nike 🏳️‍⚧️ @shookegg.bsky.social · 16d

Lmao my dad is convinced estrogen is going to kill me because they give it to horses that are too unruly to ride and those horses die young I guess?

Having veterinarian parents is very cool for some things but unexpectedly 🙃 for others

Being furloughed sucks for a lot of reasons but one I hadn't counted on was seeing my non-furloughed team members opening PRs and being unable to yell at them to stop working at 5 am

I absolutely want to be a girl's desk pet. Nicole Kidman hmu

It feels so natural to lay below someone's desk, doesn't it cutie

Sitting in your pet bed mindlessly pleasuring your owner while they work or game or talk to friends

After all, you live to serve

And you're very good at serving~

Good desk pet
