Turns out being told to run along and play is the same feeling as being told I’m worthless.

It wrinkles my brain that Jupiter’s moon Europa has oceans that are sixty miles deep, while Earth’s oceans only reach seven miles deep at most. I’m willing to bet good money that there’s life in Europa’s oceans. Like five bucks. You hear me, NASA? I bet you five bucks that there’s life on Europa… Now that there’s money and reputation on the line, I bet they send a mission there real quick.

Same, really. A nest of them. With pinkies. *sigh*

What I want to say: “I apologize for forgetting, some of my conditions cause pretty bad memory loss. I try my best to stay organized but sometimes things slip through the cracks. I’m sorry about not remembering that.”

What I actually say: “sorry my brain is like a filing cabinet with a rat living in it”

But what if…

What if you can’t put down roots? They get pruned off like a bonsai every time you try?

What if you get potbound?

I don’t deserve to be happy.

You have to earn that shit.

Vessel in the Form of a Sleeping Dog

ARTIST CULTURE Teotihuacan

PERIOD Early Classic period, 250–600

DATE c.450–550

MADE IN México state, México

Provenience unknown, possibly looted

Pleasingly curled up, this dog vessel is made of a special orange clay prized by Teotihuacan ceramicists and traders. From a source in nearby Puebla, the clay was fashioned into thin sheets for making elegant vessels and sculptures. Dogs and dog-shaped vessels were often included in Teotihuacan burials, suggesting their domestication as members of the household. Their presence in central Mexico parallels a similar practice seen in some burials in West Mexico during the same period, where thin orange ceramics have also been found. Although different in form, the ceramic canines of Teotihuacan indicate a shared—if not imported—funerary practice.
