Anthy "Thumbs" Klaw

I love spring and fall in the PNW. The rain brings out the frogs. The sound of the rain and the frog calls are soothing. I've always loved rain, but the frogs just make it joyful.

I think that if kids get to scream in the grocery store, that we should normalize adults screaming in the grocery store. Maybe have a screaming hour at say 7pm like they have quiet hours in the morning. Customers and employees can give into the primal urge that children just have day to day.

Menopause is way worse than puberty. Becoming a crone is hell. My moods are cranky, irritated, rage, hopeless, stupid, and chocolate.

Harrison Ford being the grumpiest man alive in every interview while reportedly being the biggest sweetheart of a stoner old man in actual life is just such a treat Not sure any actor has aged more delightfully

The clouds have come back, summer is slowly moving toward fall. I feel more alive in the vague gloom. I look forward to rainy days.

Private Equity sucks and ruins perfectly good things.

Yes. I’ve seen the Brakrooms meme.

I firmly believe in getting a treat after doing something hard. I don't like going to the doctor, even the ones that listen to me. Today's visit went better than expected, but the blood draw sucked. I treated myself to a donut for doing the thing and surviving (and not biting anyone).

I realize that not all menopausal people get the intrusive thoughts/garbage brain, but jeez, this is bullshit. I was told my whole life that this part would be better. My 19 year old self would be so pissed. I survived my teen years on spite and music, my 40's are far more challenging.

Thank you, I need this reminder. I don't need all the problems, I can put some back.

Happy Juneteenth!

SHEEP TRADE! i wanna draw a sheep. how about you draw my sheep and i draw your sheep here’s some examples of how i draw sheepies.

I've always been nervous about going to the doctor, but the pandemic wrecked me going to the vet. Having one cat with dental issues and an elderly cat meant sitting in the vet parking lot for hours during 2020 and 2021. I know it isn't happening now, but lizard brain isn't buying it.

Rainy days are so soothing to me.

There's a spider in the guest bathroom that has 6.5 legs. This means they met Rose. I'm glad they got away without a mortal wound, but I really feel bad about the half leg.

I'm so happy that my semi-former vet recommended another vet to me for urgent care. The new vet has more staff, which means they aren't booked out for weeks. They are in a more rural area and it takes a bit longer to get there, but for same day/week appointments, I'll make the trip.

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

Happy Trans Day Of Visibility! Much love to my friends and chosen family - and especially my wife!

I really feel for my fellow perimenopausal cohort, but I have to also understand the kiddos and others that are going through puberty right now. We're all watching the world catch fire, and our hormones are a mess. We all know things are bad, but right now I'm not sure my doom has a depth.

Life feels like everything has tags and rough seams right now and I'm over it.

It's Bad Bunny time!!

This week in perimenopause: when driving with the windows down in 40 degree weather, make sure to blast good tunes.

@pmfrlyn.bsky.social Happy 10th Anniversary, my beautiful wifey! Ten years married, twenty-three years together. Thank you for every moment. ❤️

I have a completely unreliable superpower called hot flashes. I go into a store, and half way through shopping I feel like I'm in a sauna. I go to my car and open the windows in 40 degree weather like it is totally normal. Seasonal defective and this bullshit, how am I supposed to hold onto sanity?

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

I'm seasonally defective. It's bad this year, only a week in and I'm done with it looking like it is 3pm all day.

I was such an MTV kid that when I listen to old songs, quite often I hallucinate/play back the videos as I listen to the music. I didn't realize this until I listened to a particular song and became aware of the images playing in my head. I'm fascinated by my brain, it holds on to some weird stuff.

As a child that grew up when 80's music was happening, it is surreal to listen to some of those songs and realize that we've been living this bullshit right along. It is undeniably right in our faces now, but it was always there, if you listen to the lyrics. Music is history, unvarnished.

Emailed my Senators. Tried to call and leave a message - voicemail is full. Keep up the calls and emails, folks. Healthcare is important to us all and to threaten it for trans people is to threaten it for us all.

Still have Covid. Still annoyed at the people who gave it to me. Still annoyed at myself for exposing others. Wear a mask, protect yourself and others.

Get vaccinated. Wear a mask.

Found out this morning that it is possible for pets to get Covid, after my boy cat has been snuggling with me for the past 24 hours like it was his job. I really hope the kitties don't get it. This sucks and I'm kind of mad at the world right now.

Tested positive for Covid for the first time. Not excited.

Readying for parental visit. Gonna cook, sightsee, and do home maintenance. Unfortunately, can't take them to the cat cafe this visit, because that's how we end up with a new cat and I'm not sure I'm ready for more chaos.

Doctors I trust more than RFK Jr.

it's kitties
