O_o; hmm...*PS4 controller fused to hands and is staring at racing game on wall-screen*...I may have a problem. >~>;

Derpy waddles over and taps your arm. "Can I pway too pwease?"

@-@; Derpy...listen to me...*gently shakes his lil' hands*
Don't play Online...they are beasts...hungry beasts who will stop at nothing to make sure you don't get in front of them without punishment...and angry sadness...;_;
! :D But you can make a neat car with lots of colors and wheels and patterns to choose from!

"Yay! Pretty car!" Derpy hugs your arm.
"Can I just pway wif you?"

^U^ Aww, sure Derpy! I'll go easy on ya, and pick a fun track with no traps and stuff. :] *pats lil' Derpy*

i dunno, my cats totally have affection-for-trade down pat so, here at least, it suits XD

Ermagerd! Hobby Lobby has brought back the chair I wanted last summer for this spring!
If I get enough money in amazon gift cards, I may just use the amazon money to buy a visa gift card to use to buy the chair! Although a better use for the money would probably be to put it toward a portable washing machine, but still... >.>

Lost my mother 6 years ago from today. Even though it was a challenging relationship, it still isn't easy. Been watching a vlogger who shares her life with her mother, and there are a lot of similarities that remind me of some of the better things. Even though their personalities are different. I do wonder how different things would be if she was still around.

This isn't the only place I make avatars on. I also make quite the avatars on... ring fit adventure

Currently trying to tie up the plotline ending to my demon prince story, and it's such a struggle...even though I have it all mapped out on paper, ;u; And I just gotta hurry up and end it..so I can go back and edit the plotline in places, and then start writing...*smacks self in the face with pillow* <x{ HnNNNNHG! I'M HAVING FUUUUUNN! <x'}

Wrapped some presents and in the process of making xmas cookies(dough is chilling). XD

i've never heard of ring fit adventure

It's basically the successor to Wii Fit, for Nintendo Switch. There's a large plastic hoop that you connect a Joy-Con to that's basically a big flex sensor. It can detect you squeezing or stretching the hoop, and the Joy-Con's own gyros and accelerometers provide motion tracking.

Its big thing is that instead of just being a relatively dry workout/personal trainer, it's designed to be an actual game, hence "adventure". It's apparently a lot of fun. I say "apparently" because while I have a copy I've been so massively overwhelmed recently that I haven't even had a chance to slot it in yet.

I've seen it played and it looks really fun, but I doubt I'll ever get to try it as I don't have any game systems beyond the original xbox.
Let me tell you, the shrek 2 game is really fun... lol

current mood is really not trusting anyone that calls themselves 'baby' or anything similar.

Bleh. I want to go sit at a coffee shop after work and work on simple projects, but should really just go home and try to finish the custom cat. The face is about half done and I dread all the yarn strands I'm gonna be working with

good. never trust a talking baby that doesn't know it's own name. that is usually a trap

is the face just full of short strands or are you going to give it whiskers?

Basically, in order to make the face to match their rl cat's face as closely as possible, but without having giant holes to have to sew up as well, I'll at some point, be working with 5 or 6 strands of yarn all working different chunks of the face.

I didn't work on any projects today. Instead I repainted my nails and made 1 reverse stamping decal as a practice run for a cute holiday nail art.

But I fucked it up a lot in the dotting of berries (which doesn't look like dots at all anymore) and then smudged the red by adding my top coat way too soon, but I had to get out the door to work asap.

it's more towards not trusting people when they call themselves baby because of the possibility that it'll be weaponized should i dare call them out on infantilizing characters based on neurodivergent traits. that, and nb afab people weaponizing it against nb amab people.

shit's fucked, y'know? i can't trust members of a community that's supposed to accept me because of all the damn discourse on sites like tumblr, and while i'm aware that it's not like that IRL, it's just. disconcerting.

also, having to explain why trans people hate cis people as a social class with limited vocabulary and words. it's frustrating. i know something's not working right here, and i hate being self-aware of my shit.

If it helps you put words to your thoughts: It's an understandable reaction to what feels like systematic othering from the dominant social group.

Rationally, it should be obvious that most trans people don't hate all cis people as a rule, which is probably one of the things that's getting you caught up when you try to express it. But it takes a lot of words and conditions to express the things that really upset trans people, and the common thread among all of the complaints is that it always involves cis people. So it only stands to reason that someone that's upset about something that's complicated to talk about will use a shorter, more impactful way of getting the point across.

A different way of looking at it: It's not so much that trans people hate cis people as it is that we hate that the world divides people into those two groups and treats them differently because of it. We don't hate cis people (as people), we hate "cis people" (as a concept used to discriminate us from them).

Does anyone else get these random literary reminders of things you read in school or in Lit classes?? e_e; I just randomly began thinking about A Modest Proposal by Johnathan Swift, out of flippin' NOWHERE.

Having weird reflux type issues. Not exactly sure what it actually is. But can't really take ant-acids without having gallbladder attacks and don't want to dislodge any gallstones.

Have you seen a doctor about it? My wife just kinda put up with symptoms like that for a long time until she suddenly started throwing up on a daily basis, and it turns out that her gall bladder was basically not working and had to be removed.

That said, you might consider an acid reducer like omeprazole (Prevacid) instead of antacids; they operate by inhibiting the production of excess stomach acid instead of neutralizing it once it's already been created so you aren't overloading on calcium. It can take a few days for it to take full effect; it's not an instant-relief type of thing but most people can take it for 14 days and then be in the clear for a while.

I've seen a specialist about it. He wasn't particularly helpful, but did enough to find gallstones. Because you have to wait so long to see a doctor, I managed to alleviate my gallbladder and pancreas symptoms on my own by taking acids and enzymes. Anything reducing acid makes it worse, including PPIs. But because I managed to stop the pain, the doctor decided not to investigate further and was okay with my methodology. I'm guessing my issue is not enough acid. I tried to stop taking acids before, and experienced some of the worst pain in my life.

Oh, that makes sense then. Too alkaline of an environment can lead to calcium buildup. By all means disregard my advice because it's exactly the opposite of what you need. XD

Is Xmas really next week? I stopped noticing. ;u;

ugh don't SAY that, now I've got bits and pieces of A Modest Proposal stuck in MY head.

Basically A Modest Proposal:
<w< Hey, you know what would solve the population crisis among the upper and lower classes???
Eating the un-needed babies. ;D It'll be a delicacy, like swan, and whale.~

...infant ragout.

bon infant bruschetta

...I want a crowbar for xmas/bday.

yanno, there are plenty of unwanted babies. you don't have to go out and steal one

re-realizing how hilarious the physics engine in transformice is.

>w> America is abuzz since the orange man got impeached yesterday.
<w< Meanwhile, I'm giggling about all the poor suckers and chumps with Trump2020 stickers and flags. Hehehehehehehehehe.

Nah, I just want a crowbar for bashing things.

I'm not sure the impeachment is going to actually amount to anything.

:] I want a crowbar for gettin' to eat, drink, play billiards and talk with crows. <3

It'll amount to uhh,...less embarrassment in electing unqualified, cheating, rotten idiots in the future? <x} *shrug*

Hmmmm.....thinking I may donate $1 for ever like Derpy's team trees Instagram post gets...within reason.
(Because I think at most, he gets like 10-15 usually, so that's a manageable amount for me.)

:D Team trees!
I'm so glad people are coming together to donate in order to help the environment.
I regret to say I haven't donated yet. ^n^; Though I'd like to.

I just checked and they are just barely over 41k away from the goal.
Tbh, I was beginning to think it was loosing steam but then it suddenly kicked up again.

My only real "donation" was the jacksepticeye pin, but all profits from the pin go to team trees so...

:D Oh! I donated once to a jackscepticeye livestream for the red nose foundation! ^-^ It was fun to see my name pop up on the livestream too tho. :] Didn't get a pin, but I didn't really need one. I have TOO MANY buttons and pins. o_o; But I want MORE.
