I've been randomly sad all day. Then found out an old friend took his life today. Probably coincidence. Nothing I've done or said had any bearing on his choices. I worry that it did, but rational me knows better. He made choices I couldn't support. As a result, we didn't stay in touch. But he was dear. It didn't have to go this way. He had people who loved him. He knew he was loved and wanted. But his pain spoke too loud.
I may not know who sees this, but you matter to someone. Probably several someones. You matter. You might be hurting. You might feel hopeless. I get it. But you matter. Don't take yourself away. You matter. Your pain might be shouting over the voices of people who love you. Listen to the love. Depression lies. It always lies. Oh John, it didn't have to be this way. I wish you weren't gone.

So, if you start crying in the middle of the night (from overthinking something said by someone you thought knew better) with a night guard on your teeth, it is possible to start laughing at yourself because your crying is impeded by the night guard. LOL. #thingsiknow@49

Aimee is doing the super hard, super responsible, super caring thing that is best for Lucy the Pig. However, Lucy will not be eligible for rehoming until she has had her shots. Any help is appreciated.

Holy shit.... Never Again Action (the group who started #JewsAgainstICE) had an ICE detention truck drive through them while they were shutting down Wayne Detention Center in Rhode Island this evening (August 14th).

I love this so much. But Oreo would give both stuffies equally deadly attention. Decapitated lions and fluff EVERYWHERE.
@ChrisEvans: Dodger has a lion that he loves dearly. He brings it to bed every single night. Yesterday, my buddy Josh bought him a new lion for Xmas. It immediately caused competition and uncertainty. Dodger was torn. The big question was who would get the highly coveted bedtime invite? 🎄🦁

“Hey Goediun, did you finish- ah hell, not MORE earth wildlife.”
“This planet’s completely fucked up Clyod.”
“What the fuck are THOSE?” Guenoid demanded, peering over his co-worker’s mass to squint at the pojection.
“Third-most dominant carnivore on the planet.”
“Yeah but what’s the little thing next to it?”
“Same species.”
“You’re emusifying me.”

London-based student Lewis Hornby is a grandson on a mission. When he noticed that his dementia-afflicted grandmother was having trouble staying hydrated, he came up with Jelly Drops—bite-sized pods of edible water that look just like tasty treats.
Each of these colorful “candies” is made up of mostly water, with gelling agents and electrolytes making up just 10% of their composition. Available in a rainbow of colors and presented in packaging reminiscent of a box of chocolates, Jelly Drops are an easy and engaging way to avoid dehydration—a common problem for those suffering from degenerative neurological diseases.
“It is very easy for people with dementia to become dehydrated,” he explains. “Many no longer feel thirst, don’t know how to quench thirst, or don’t have the dexterity to drink.” With this in mind, Hornby set out to find a solution. In addition to seeking advice from psychologists and doctors, he opted to “experience” life with dementia himself through the use of virtual reality tools and a week in a care home.
Once he was familiar with what dementia patients need, he brainstormed what they want. “From my observations, people with dementia find eating much easier than drinking. Even still, it can be difficult to engage and encourage them to eat. I found the best way to overcome this is to offer them a treat! This format excites people with dementia, they instantly recognize it and know how to interact with it.”
Case in point? Hornby’s own grandmother’s reaction: “When first offered, grandma ate seven Jelly Drops in 10 minutes, the equivalent to a cup full of water—something that would usually take hours and require much more assistance.”

I'll get you in the morning just because you are you. Also, not discussed much publicly, but going to try to buy a house this summer.
Because it never hurts to ask...
It’s cold where I live right now. Dangerously cold. My day job is significantly affected by the cold, this is the worst possible time for me to have stopped making money.
So… here is my PayPal.Me link. If you are so moved, please help me out this month. I haven’t got rewards figured out, but I’m thinking something along the lines of personalized audios where $1 = 1 minute of recording time.
No matter what you decide to do, thank you for reading and reblogging this post, and please, everyone who is caught up in this freeze, stay warm and safe.

Who you callin' pedantic Ms Smarty Pants? LOL
Things From My Drafts Folder...
(Some of these aren’t about opinions, but are just snippets of writing.)
Dreams
Dreams are weird, I say to you, and because sometimes you humor me you agreeably say “Oh? Why do you say that?” Dreams are weird because they only contain places and people that you’ve already known, so sometimes you get an impossible mix of people acting for your benefit as you sleep.
“That’s not exactly correct, you know.” you point out to me. “Not necessarily places and people you’ve known, just places and people you’ve seen. And even that’s not precisely true. Your brain can combine millions of elements together to create an entirely new thing, unique and unduplicated, even though it contains things that are familiar and commonplace.”
I am accustomed to your pedantry, so I’m not offended

staff You are recommending that I follow a nazi blog I blocked last night. Your site promotes anti-semitism to Jews. Your site shoves Nazi Swastikas in the faces of Jews. It’s bad enough that the Nazi blogs seem to be sprouting up like weeds on a site that claims to have an anti-hate policy, but to actively promote them to people who have taken the steps of blocking these blogs is beyond the pale. Clean this place up. It’s turning into Stormfront. I encourage everyone who sees this post, Jewish or otherwise, to reblog it. Tumblr has been ignoring the growth of Nazism on this site for too long. It needs to end.

@staff
Dear tumblr staff
You’ve just destroyed everything of light and love on this site.
You host nazis, and flag sex positive sites. You allow right-wing bloggers free rein to express their abhorrent views on gay people, bi people, trans people, and POC. You threaten to shut down the blogs of young trans people, and gay and bi people, who have been using their blogs to express their journeys in coming out and transitioning.
You say that you’re removing the adult material to allow for more sex positivity - yet your clumsily-worded “female presenting nipples” is infantile and legally vague. Your algorithms are, in fact, flagging fanfic and fanart blogs in defiance of your assurances that you would not, in fact, be doing this.
Your purge will decimate thousands of blogs, but what will you leave behind? Nothing. You’ll be driving away all the people who make the hilarious 3am posts, the strangely insightful weird material that people write when they’re stoned, the “shower thoughts” posts.
All the young people who write their coming out stories - they’re not going to wait for you to come for them next. They’re going away now. And with them, a community spirit you’ve accreted for eleven years will be going away, forever, because their trust in you is now gone.
It’s gone, because you’re happy to brand them as porn blogs too. Away with them all, the model set card posts and the coming out posts, the public hypno fora, the kink positive blogs, everyone who came to this blog to express their sexuality, to share their desires. It’s all the same as the commercial stuff to you. It’s all smut; and, like Dolores Umbridge, you’ve decided that it’s all got to go.
But it was the heart of the community that you’re trying to protect. And you just cut it out and threw it away.
Do you think that cat pics and landscape pics, and Klingon language blogs and posts about the books of Robert Greene, are going to sustain this site after your blindfolded, ham-handed pogrom? Do you think that spiral gifs are going to be enough to keep this site commercially viable?
And do you think that new people are going to come to this site, now that you’ve set fire to it?
Think about what it means when I say: You’ve destroyed everything of light and love on this site. What you’re doing is setting fire to the neighbourhood to get rid of a single spider.
