Madly in love with the pile of cardboard boxes in my closet

More and more often ppl are writing “ren” instead of “wren” on my coffee at the coffee shop, even if I specify “wren, like the little bird.” I don’t mind, really but like.

Is it bc I look like a weeb?? Do I look like the kind of white person who’d appropriate a Japanese name? 😭

Got mad at my cat for ripping up a little bit of my scrapbook but I think she was just trying to contribute actually. I can’t be mad at her

She just wants to be remembered too 😭

TW// srs mental health topics, but

The biggest thing that helps me push aside suicidal thoughts is the question “if today was my last day alive, did I make it the best one? Did I do everything I wanted to do?”

And then I make a list of all the things that made my day good. Like,

-did I get to text/call my friends/family/someone I love? Did I get to hang out and spend time with anyone important to me?

-did I get to cook a good meal or bake something that made my day a little better? That made me feel satiated? Did I have fun in the process?

-did I get to play with my cats? Yes? Weren’t they adorable?

-did I get to go for a walk and enjoy the fresh air and nice weather?

-did I get to watch my favorite movie or tv show? Read a good book? Play a good video game? Engage in my creative hobbies?

If I didn’t check all the boxes or had a bad day, then oh well- this can’t possibly be my last day because I have to end on a good note.

If I DID check all those boxes, then I feel slightly less shitty; and it’s a nice reminder that all those things are simple enough that I can do at least one of them tomorrow, and that’s something to look forward to. “I can’t kill myself I have to play with my cats.” Yknow.

I’ve never watched jojo’s bizarre adventure but for the longest time I thought JoJo was like the avatar. Like it was one person named JoJo alive at a time and they just kept getting reincarnated and that’s why there’s one with a silly hat and slutty jacket and another one with cool green hair but they’re both JoJo yknow

So like. When is it acceptable to ask someone’s pronouns? Cuz as I get older I feel more and more out of the loop lol. Or maybe it’s my neurodivergence idk.

Like I’ve been told by genderqueer folk that I make them uncomfortable and singled out when I ask about their pronouns. “Fair enough,” I think, “I should ask everyone’s pronouns because it’s not good to assume.”

But then, I don’t always know how to work it into the conversation naturally, and I run the risk of upsetting someone from the “I don’t have pronouns 🙄” crowd and I really don’t handle those situations well either lol.

“Women only like men who r six feet tall and make a lot of money” brother i am four inches taller than my husband and when we first started dating, i was the only one between the two of us with a job. How about try being less gross and mean

I have beef with the phrase “is it fine if I xyz”. Like it’s not grammatically incorrect but it still sounds awkward. Makes me wanna say “no it’s NOT fine” no matter what it is. Yknow.

[wren-writes-stuff]

Saying this right fucking now.

I don’t want to see ANY of you touching that fuckass new Harry Potter series.

That woman has set us back YEARS. YEARS. And whose money is she using to do it? People who continually support her and her sorry excuse for a book series.

If you simply must watch it? Pirate. It’s not hard.

Do not give her money. Do not give her a platform. Do not contribute. Please.

Replaying Undertale for the 185728283rd time in preparation for deltarune (please no spoilers, I know I’m late but I can’t buy it yet RAGH)

Anyway it reminded me of how I was a fan of homestuck in middle school long before Undertale came out and the absolute GLEE of correcting people when they called Megalovania an “Undertale song”. That’s about when I peaked in life I think

Wanna go to Pride bc I’ve never been able to go but I’m in a straight-passing relationship and I don’t want to look like a Poser™️ UGGHH

Idk if it’s because I grew up in a small town or just my general anxiety, but I live ~1 hour from one of the biggest cities in the country right. And sometimes my husband will be like “let’s see a movie at the Big City™️ movie theatre because it’s fancier :D” and I start shaking like a chihuahua.

No. No, I don’t want to go to Big City™️ movie theatre. Big City™️ has traffic. Big City™️ doesn’t have accessible bathrooms at most of the gas stations or convenience stores. Big City™️ is so so crowded and I always feel like I’m in the way of somebody. There’s no trees. Where’s the trees. Everything is just a little bit dirty because of the exhaust from all the cars and I constantly feel like I need to wash my hands BUT THERE IS NOWHERE TO WASH MY HANDS.

“I’m getting the switch two to play GameCube games” I could buy a used GameCube, a compatible controller, a copy of windwaker , animal crossing, and twilight princess for just over half the price of the switch 2. AND I would actually own them forever without paying for a subscription. Use ur brain and those wonderful extremities we call fingers to log into eBay pls and ty.

Update: Barf’s battery died and he got reset (rest in peace) but now I have a new daughter named GRAK!!

Ain’t she pretty?

Listen I don’t believe in posting photos of children’s faces online but I feel like I know you guys well enough to trust you at this point. All 38 of you. So I’d like to introduce you all to my son:

His name is Barf
