Look my Blåhaj fell off the bed in order to pose in this manner. Had to snap a pic, obviously. I mean he's literally begging me for it

Okay so the other day some dudes I didn't know/invite rang my very annoying loud doorbell. Which happens. But then they kept doing it. And after ten minutes straight of torture by sound I called staff, described the dude to them (we have cameras at the front door) and sent staff down to handle it. After a while I called them for an update and got the message "oh they were Romanian. We made them leave" and I was just sitting there all... "AND??? Like what did they want?? I was wondering what they were doing here and why, not which country they originated from?!" But that was the only explanation I received. So I'm still quite confused by that whole situation. Luckily they haven't been back since...

Just got a text from a person I didn't recognize. I was like "sorry but who are you?" and he was like "*latest ex* introduced us" and I was like "is he involved in this? Cause I blocked him for a reason" and he was like "no no I just wanna buy coke." Well then! That's definitely a relief

Found this cute little book of Greta Thunberg speeches at the library last time I went! Am looking forward to reading exactly what she has had to say in different contexts through the years

I'm currently unfollowing a lot of people to make keeping up with my feed easier and more enjoyable. So if I unfollow you, it's not because I dislike you as a person, but simply because our taste in content no longer matches ❤️

Like when I applied for welfare the first time they delayed the process for months because they wanted to examine my passport to make sure I "wasn't an immigrant trying to cheat the system" (immigrants receive less welfare if any, across the board). All of this happened simply because I have a foreign sounding first name...

To the person who just donated 45 dollars to my ko-fi... I'm speechless. Literally. Thank you SO MUCH 🥹❤️

Like I am as ethnically Danish a person as one can be, and I have faced suspicion and xenophobia on many occasions simply because I have a FIRST NAME which originated in Russian. I so wish I was exaggerating... And I can easily prove that I'm "the right kind of white" but many people can't AND NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO

"Oh, you're too mentally ill to get out of bed? Try taking an everything shower and deep cleaning your home and cooking a nice dinner and going to the gym, you'll feel SO much better once you-" usually isn't the kind of advice struggling people need...

Can't help laughing a bit at the mental health posts that are all "How to get better! A guide to recovery! Step one: Love yourself". Like I'm sorry but that's not exactly a one step task for most people...

I'm tired of people being all "yes of course I support addicts but also smokers are the most disgusting, stupid people in the world and they should be fully segregated from public society at all times and also I hope they all die of lung cancer like they deserve for being stupid enough to touch cigarettes". Nicotine addiction is not your get out of jail free card for such behavior just because it's "gross"

And I hate when people uncritically quote the DSM to justify ableism and outdated info as if the DSM is somehow both apolitical and raised above all criticism and not very much a work in progress

This is my fruit box. I don't have the coordination or the executive functioning required to prepare fresh fruit, but when my mom noticed that meant I just didn't get to have any, she started dutifully filling this fruit box twice a week

I think I figured out why my activity page is crazier than usual...

Actually reading the lyrics to songs you loved as a kid before speaking English properly is approximately 50% "oh this is about sex", 30% "oh this is about drugs" and 20% "oh this is about suicide"
