🎶Thicker than
A deep dish pie
Joints are sore
Blood pressure high
Pudding, flan
And crème brûlée
None are safe
From the Green Beignets🎶

This is Boksil. She is reaching levels of cozy previously unheard of. 12/10 a trailblazer (IG: with_bokdanji)

a small cream colored dog stares up at us. this is Boksil, swaddled in a grey robe, and tucked underneath a thick blanket on a bed. her little paws poke out of the robe's sleeves, and her toe beans are in full view. her tiny pink tongue mlems from her grinning mouth.

a higher angle of Boksil. a small yellow pillow rests beside her for scale, and her eyes are closed peacefully as she rests swaddled under a white blanket, looking very cozy.

Life is more than financial incentives of course, but if you’re crippled at every bloody turn, at a certain point you’re just like, “Why the fuck bother?”

And the Republicans are all like, “Why aren’t people having babies anymore?”

While never looking at the price tag of just the birthing alone (much less the raising), which would have broken my in my 20s, 30s, or most of my 40s.

So you’re just like, “You’re kidding, right?”

$700 per for me has been a drag. Then when you go in (especially for dental) you find it basically covers nothing anyway.

So when you need it, it’s a non-negotiable must-have. When you’re mostly healthy, it’s a colossal money suck that prevents you from doing other innovative things.

Aggravating.
