Just a human doing human things while trying not to let the existential dread set in. 300 characters is not enough- Prepare to be confused by my attempts to trim my verbosity.

I think my favorite thing about this dog is her complete and total lack of dignity. She is a hedonist of the highest order, and I am envious.

I groomed poppy today. Now- I know I'm a crap groomer, but we get it done. However I felt decent about her face, so I brushed her hair into place, put the brush down and picked my phone up to take a photo. In that .3 seconds, she managed this . Yup two toddlers in this house for sure.

These headphones are an important part of "autistic parent's survival kit for screaming tantrums"

This.

Trump’s bargain with voters was that he would be the asshole they wanted to be and then they wouldn’t have to feel bad about it. That’s it. That’s the whole value proposition. So encourage them to repent and make amends, and shame them mercilessly if they refuse.

Apparently I am concerning the dogs, as they both felt the need to check in on me. (Poppy checks in frequently- though it's even better when her hair is down so she looks like some sort of mop monster.

Son of a bitch. But I LIIIIKE MY HOUSE ROBOTTTSSSS! arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

Unintentionally...

I am unexpectedly furious that people with reach keep on doing normal *things*. When I see someone post about a book they are promoting or their new podcast or their live show or their big plans for grandpa's 80th, my brain immediately goes "Why are you acting normal? The fucking world is on fire!"

This is an incredibly good point that I had not previously considered. Lets just hope we keep on fighting instead of settling into "acceptance"...

That's it, no one is allowed to poop in our house anymore. Human toddler climbed on table while I was in the bathroom, dog toddler stole a dirty diaper and ran, flinging poop while human toddler was mid diaper change. Conflicted, had to choose between chasing dog or cleaning up toddler. Gross.

I think this kid has the right idea, honestly.

Being American right now feels like sitting at a table in a restaurant while a loud, angry relative causes a scene—everyone’s watching, and no matter how much I whisper apologies, and show my discomfort, I can’t escape the shame of being associated.

Why am I like this? I just forgot how to human (again) and fell over into a rolling cart. I have no clue what happened other than the "upright -> oh crap->laying on a metal cart with crap scattered everywhere" transition was a surprise. I am sore now, but tomorrow is gonna SUCK.

From WTFJHT, my preferred poli-news agg source: ONLY 49 %? WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK. This timeline snuck up on me because I was taught that "people" are in essence good and value others, and believed it. Religions created to scare humans into being vaguely decent to eachother make more sense.

Well, fuck. "No masks" was also tweeted. So no free speech, then?

I need to unravel why it bothers me so much not sharing family photos with others. Do i need validation? Proof to others that i show up as a parent? Some weird bragging since I never expected to have kids ? A love language? An excuse to take the time to write up my experiences in an engaging way?

Bullshit side effects from going to the Circus- "But you don't look disabled!" edition. : x2 surprise stress doses of steroids because (duh) caused stress response. dexamethasone headaches stink. : small, hard seats without squirming means I have all the pain I expect a few days of suck.

Took eldest spawn to their first cirque performance ("kooza"). Kid got a light up whirly toy, I got a pop-up top hat intended for children because I have tiny-head. Then we Got to briefly meet a few cast Members. I've watched a fair amount of circus, but the guys on the double wheel blew my mind.

In other toddler news, local toddlers experience conflict over the ownership of a stick, both claiming that it was "theirs" The ownership of said stick was not determined, and to avoid further conflict the stick was thrown into a bush when no one was looking by a concerned bystander.

Local park experiences two-toddler-pileup wed morning: At approx 10 am, a witness reported a muddy incident between 2 and 4 legged toddlers. Neither party was paying attention, ending in a collision of legs, tails, leashes, and tears, and falling into a bush. No injuries were reported.

Having left the platform I used for 15 years as my main social support/ interaction with the world, I feel really empty and cut off. I dont have the spoons for in person interactions, ether. Maybe I just need to adapt to this "new norm". At least things 1 and 2 keep me company...

Totally speechless...

When setting up our bioactive salamander tank, we apparently ended up with a snail hitchhiker or two. Gary the snail has grown quite large and we see "him" roaming quite a lot. Today, we discovered Gary is a new mum. Tons of tiny baby snails everywhere <3

Who needs insurance- clearly not me. At least I have (checks calendar) 6 days to wean off of all of the meds I can't afford to keep taking. What could possibly go wrong.

One of the many reasons i cant have nice things.
