its weird trying to explain to people who didnt grow up like that, that marrying for love is a luxury. i didnt even know that i wasnt allowed to marry for love until i started dating at like 19. when i was dating my now husband, my grandma pulled me aside and gave me the 1-4, and asked me i if i was with him because he was cute or if he *actually* had prospects.

i was 21 so of course i assured her that he was brimming with potential... but he was. that wasnt a lie. i am, after all, my grandmothers second chance at a daughter. one that the consequences dint fall on, but that she could mold and move and make.

This is a rose bush outside of my house. I do nothing to this thing, it just comes back every year... My mother in law had it before me... She doesn't even seem to know why it has like three different color patterns coming from the same bush. Like are you light pink and pink? Orange and red? Dark pink and red? TELL ME WHO YOU ARE!!?

side affects of having a health conscious/poor parents... almond mom by necessity if you will... is that you consider honey nut cheerios and kix to be sugary cereals and you get "rebellious" by adding honey or sugar to them. ooooh yeah. im baaaad. to the bone. dah nah nah nah nah.

Niles and Fran are my third favourite BFF combo, equal to, never behind, JD and Turk and Sean and Gus.

I live in a trailer park. It has smaller than average trailer park yards. Yet my neighbor consistently finds a way to mow for two hours, leaf blow for another, and then mow for one more. It boggles the mind.

And im not being hyperbolic here... Weve timed her. Shell mow mow mow... Take 5-10 min break... Mow mow mow... Take another break... Mow without stopping for twice as long as it takes to mow the yard... Break... Etc.

Shes also taken video of kids playing on the sidewalk outside of her house and in their own yards across the street from her and tried to say a group of 6yos were destroying her property... They dropped a stick in her yard... Once.

Its pathological

was talking to my mom about how white people ignore the contributions of poc to academia and I found myself saying the words "I bet those idiots think Louis Pasteur was the first to discover germ theory"

which admittedly sounded pretentious as fuck but I'm just so angry that so few people know about the academic advancements during the golden age of Islam.

Islamic doctors were washing their hands and equipment when Europeans were still shoving dirty ass hands into bullet wounds. ancient Indians were describing tiny organisms worsening illness that could travel from person to person before Greece and Rome even started theorizing that some illnesses could be transmitted

also, not related to germ theory, but during the golden age of Islam, they developed an early version of surgery on the cornea. as in the fucking eye. and they were successful

and what have white people contributed exactly?

please go research the golden age of Islamic academia. so many of us wouldn't be alive today if not for their discoveries

people ask sometimes how I can be proud to be Muslim. this is just one of many reasons

some sources to get you started:

but keep in mind, it wasn't just science and medicine! we contributed to literature and philosophy and mathematics and political theory and more!

maybe show us some damn respect

"If tampons should be free, then so should my diabetes meds."

Yes? Yes they should be? Your life-saving medication that you need in order to live for a condition you were born with should be given to you at no cost?

So, im teaching my kid how to lie to their dad.

HOLD. ON.

Geezus mother fuckers.

Theyre a late night reader like i was. Hes all about them getting a full nights rest. The two are not compatible, as you can imagine.

So ive been coaching the kid on how to read at night without your parents knowing. Told the spawn that so long as theyre being wise and stealthy i wont say anything. But if their dad catches them, game over i am enforcing the punishment/consequences.

My reasoning behind this is:

A. Youre only a kid once and this is the peak time for shenanigans. After all, they are in middle school. Thats when you start shenanegining.

B. Theyre adhd and autistic. They are reclaiming their time at night same as their dad and i do. We are a fully neurodivergent household.

C. Id rather this be their rebellion than something else. You give them a safe rebellion and they get the itch scratched 9/10 times. Okay maybe 7-8/10, but still, very preferable margins.

D. This kinda folds into point B. again: this is their time truly to themselves and they get to discover who they are with nothing but a book and their mind about them in the utter silence of the night. This is where personal philosophy is planted, where it sits and starts to germinate for kids like that.

My mom let me do the same thing, funny enough. It was how i survived that house. Hopefully this isnt some toxic shit im passing on

Personally i like to get graph paper and just doodle squares and lines. If it becomes something okay? But usually its just a stimming deal where i just fill a page with lines. It helps me process brain things. Its like the more likes i make the more it unravels the tangled web of stress

im so serious about this but if youre autistic and especially if youre chronically ill creative labour cannot be your only way to relax. working on a creative project is still working. take time to do nothing. its good for you i promise.

So my partner bought 8lbs of LEGOS from Goodwill for 35$, cuz apparently you can bid on random lpts of legos on goodwills website

(same with NERF, fyi. He discovered THAT during the pandemic. Turned our whole garage into a NERF arena and his brother was one of our pod att so they had blacklight NERF battles during that)

Anyways, out of that box there came a chewed on but still cute mini-minifigure NINJA. Id not seen a mini mini fig irl before.

I am now obsessed with this lil dude. LOOK AT HIM.

Also, this is now his new friend Monsieur Chat de Vert:

JIST LOOK AT THEIR DIGNIFIED LITTLE FACEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!

Added her favorite blanket. And water. Shes dozing nicely

My kids kitten is getting minor eye surgery today to fix loose skin around it from an infection. (The loose skin means her lid turns in on itself and her lashes are constantly scratching and irritating her cornea. Shes 11mo. and barely plays now, so its needed.)

Because of this she cant eat dinner last night or breakfast this morning. Baby girl is NOT happy.

Whats shocked me tho is my partners cat. Hes 2 and has been harassing me to get her food all morning. Hes even tried to trick me into moving his bowl to an area that she can reach. Its really kinda sweet how he keeps checking in with her and then wjen she clearly is fussy about being hungry hes increasingly coming at me like a mad older brother.

Hes now just confused at this unfair treatment of them, since from the beginning i especially have given them equal attention since he had jealousy and insecurity issues when we got her.

Its gonna be interesting when she gets back home afterwards.

So, she made it home fine. Her cat brother is now convinced shes an intruder. He has trust issues.

She is high af camped by her food bowl and occasionally doing this to reach it and nibble before dozing off again:

So. Much. Sploot. The splootiest of sploots. Splootsarina.
