To anyone who thinks that Frodo was useless and did absolutely nothing, I want you to know you are wrong.

First, with what I think are the very obvious things, he was carrying THE weapon of mass destruction, literally “the one ring to rule them all”, the ring that Sauron poured all his malice in. He managed to carry it all that way with never giving into its temptation fully, until he was literally in the place where it’s power was strongest. Anyone, literally anyone would succumb to it there.

And let’s not forget how the ring was poisoning Frodo’s mind all throughout the journey. He was facing the constant, gnawing temptation from the ring to put it on and give in. He was poisoned by the Nazgûl’s blade, from every side of him he was getting attacked in some way.

Now, maybe in this aspect I could be reading into it too much or projecting too much, but I know how absolutely helpless and scary to feel like you’re being watched. Without my meds, I will almost constantly feel watched by every direction, and in Frodo’s case, he literally is being watched. The mental strain that that alone can put on a person is immense and can make them almost catatonic. I know it has for me many times. Think about just how much the ring affected Frodo mentally, four years after it all he left middle earth, and more importantly the shire—aka the place he could hardly bear to leave in the beginning.

Anyway yeah sorry if this doesn’t make sense..

This morning my child (soon to be 3) requested that I make him toast "with creamy peanut butter on the bottom and crunchy peanut butter on the top."

ME: You mean put peanut butter on both sides?

HIM: Yes.

ME, getting into "sometimes kids have to experience the natural consequences of their actions" parenting mode: Okay, I'll do it, but you know that's gonna be really messy, right?

He insisted, and then when it was, indeed, really messy, he sobbed inconsolably on the floor. I offered to make him regular toast, or a sandwich of peanut butter toast, or a triple-decker tower of toast slices, or any other iteration of peanut butter and toast, but nothing made it better. His vision had not come to fruition. He was crushed.

His dad was in a Zoom meeting upstairs—we're all home because it's a snow day—and came down to find out what terrible ill had befallen us to cause so much wailing.

"Oh," he said. "I see. You wanted non-Euclidean geometry. Hypertoast."

if you’re not someone who picks up dead marine mammals you might be surprised how hands-on random citizens are about trying to assist the picking up of dead marine mammals.

every time I go on a call to a dead seal to collect it for a necropsy, god forbid a passerby sees me because they will walk up to me no hesitation

while i’m dressed like hannibal about to commit a murder and also in an N95 mask and they’ll be like “here let me help” and just reach for this dead animal and when I have to shout “STOP” they look so shocked and even offended every time.

like they think my outfit is just for fun

Well obviously I can’t have chronic fatigue, that’s a real problem for real disabled people that’s diagnosed by doctors probably. Clearly I just have some sort of perpetual exhaustion issue, that is also almost certainly my fault somehow
