I voted, please stop subjecting me to ceaseless political ads and texting me about my voting record 😭

Did you know pseudoephedrine may cause insomnia and restlessness as a side effect? :) Guess how I found out :) (I am so tired 😫)

He enabled me when I wanted to make homemade pumpkin spice syrup for our morning coffee and then binge a kdrama and order tacos for dinner, so I am 100% sure it's real.

Gonna need August to pull some punches because this month has been straight ass 😭😭😭

Only read about dragons in books. The information online is accurate but the goverment will monitor how much of it you access and if they decide you're getting too close to the truth they'll send a real dragon to kill you

a tv should not be a computer. a tv should be a tv. if i choose to hook a computer up to it, that's between me and god

My weekday mental health is closely tied to whether or not there's a sweet treat in the breakroom at work.

There is truly nothing like having friends who are super down to be incredible cat aunts to your medically needy house cryptid.

New cryptid

Trying to not be a toddler and throw a tantrum about severe weather ruining my plans two weekends in a row but!!! It's hard!!! Why does it only thunderstorm on the weekend!!! Can't it rain while I'm trapped at work!!! I wanna go outside!!!

A very cool and nice person I know would like to cover their out-of-pocket top surgery expenses. It would be cool and nice of you to throw them whatever spare dollars you might have to part with 👀 #lgbtqia+ #transrights #enby #nonbinary gofund.me/98cbc5417

So uh...some people might be aware of the fact that when they made a girl version of Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, they just kinda had to pick from the dudes who were already there for the bachelors, none of them were designed with women in mind AND I FORGOT THE MANUAL JUST FUCKING SAYS THIS??

Moving On.

Signed up for one of our apartment complex's raised garden beds. Gonna finally dabble IRL in the Harvest Moon lifestyle 👩‍🌾

"Read the Farseer Trilogy" they said! "Robin Hobb writes incredible fantasy" they said! I have never been so stressed out by a series in my life and I have read Game of Thrones.

Being into cats feels so debasing. You give everything over to this animal — time, labor, money — but when you want them to sit next to you, they refuse and jump away. When they finally sit on your lap, you sit motionless to the point of physical pain, afraid to disturb them. Humiliating.

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

Celebrated the spring equinox by remembering to water all my plants *WITH FERTILIZER* before going to work 🌼🌿

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

Meal-Morial Madness 2026 is a go!

Did you know that you can just get Nutella, marshmallow fluff, and graham crackers and have yourself a little bowl of s'mores dip whenever you want?

It never ceases to confound me just how many folks think the point of essays is to provide teachers with essays. That teachers just like, collect them, or need them for sustenance or something. Rather than the point of them being the *actual fucking act of learning how to think about shit*

The people most in need of understanding this will not understand it, but regardless: The inhumanity you show toward others does not dehumanize them, it dehumanizes yourself. The degradation you're trying to inflict on others, is actually you just degrading yourself.

Looking back on 2025 and the question I am left pondering on NYE is "What the actual fuck was that?" A truly emotionally baffling year. Hope 2026 is gentle with all of us since 2025 certainly wasn't!

I'm live on Twitch if you wanna hear my cat scream like he's neglected! www.twitch.tv/abookwitch 🐱

The end of year final boss isn't getting through the last couple weeks of work, it's coordinating the multi-household holiday plans when your parents are divorced, you and your partner's families live in different corners of the state, and you need a pet sitter for your chronically ill cat. 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

For the past 2 or 3 days, Dipp refused to eat his wet food breakfast unless it was brought to him in bed. Today? He tried to BURY IT IN OUR BLANKETS, but when I brought it out to his dining spot in the living room he ate the whole thing 🫠 Why do cats make so little sense 😭

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

Took Dipp to the vet because he's been limping and after xrays he's been diagnosed with WIGGLY KNEECAPS.

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. Read the story that he wanted dropped:

Honestly it's a good thing there's no negative psychological consequences to everything being casinos and upsells everywhere you look, all the time, in all of society

It has been 0 days since the vet jokingly offered me a job because I am well-informed and proactive about my pet's medical conditions (this should be the norm for both human and animal health literacy).
