One of my favorite parts about watching videos online is finding the most unhinged ones possible and then looking to see which of my friends liked them because I always learn new things about them I didn’t know before

Help Nick brainstorm this!

I think my drag name starts with Kristi and the last name needs to be something that is somehow like a synonym of gnome, or that looks like “n o e m” or that means vicious murderous heifer, and I’m definitely gonna need @swilua.bsky.social ‘s help with this project because I’ve bought a wig.

Tonight is the full moon and my bff just pulled the 4 of swords (going into a cocoon, like a butterfly, prior to transformation!)

So HEY! here is the story about how last full moon I may or may not have found out I am a weremonkey or actually literally part fairy it’s hard to say

Four of swords tarot card; I am not sure which deck this is, but there are black cats

I was just asleep and the last thing I remember from my dream was waving my hand dismissively saying, “I really don’t need 10 virgins, one will do,” then opening the door to some sort of chapel, a knife in one hand, and I would like to know wtf Dream Me was about to do man

I live in the US so of course when I asked my OB if postpartum anxiety was a thing, he told me no, I was probably just always crazy and never knew it, which fair, but also, IT IS A THING

Why would a stray missile hit the mountains of Salt Lake? I was not sure, but I was damn sure I needed to place the crib away from the path of any shrapnel, including window glass and non-bolted furniture

I decided he was safest next to the concrete foundation wall of the basement

my deletions are more generalized anxiety, which to be clear sux ass, but does not quite compare to postpartum anxiety which once had me up at 3am calculating the trajectory of a hypothetical stray missile hitting the street I lived on in Utah & which angle I should put the crib for best survival

👻madeline boOoOoOodent👻 @oldenoughtosay.com · 2d

if you catch me deleting skeets it’s because the post partum anxiety do be like that right now
