Listening to a couple neurotypicals (50s, F; 60s, F) talk about autism like they know something about it, and they refuse to let speak the one who actually knows something about it. Trying not to go Smilodon mode.

Logically, I know the polar vortex will fork off after today. Emotionally, I want to whine and throw a fit before burrowing back into the blankets. I'm so over windchills of -20 to -30. It hurts the fibro.

I need this on a hand fan to deploy when someone asks me to overreach:

Yeah, @ryetoast.bsky.social has become a Trusted Voice to my brain, and I can now add their stuff to my playlists of nightmare mitigation.

I had an unexpected vet bill that's going to take out my savings-- which I was going to live on until I get paid next month. I live on a disability pension which doesn't cover everything. I could really use any help you can give. ko-fi.com/soniasulaiman

This giant kitten has *found* her mittens,* Now she shall have some pie.** Meow, meow. meow. Now she shall have some pie.** *Shoe Spikes **A safer walk to the car in the morning. It is slick out there. I nearly went over a couple times (on foot), but the Swanson Shuffle genes did their work.

Okay, so it is not at all often that I read a book and decide halfway through the first chapter that everyone and their dog should read it, too. This one is it, though. Ho-lee heck. Within just a few pages, it taught me more about human nature than I have learned from 2016 to now.

I've known Seanna since both of us were below legal drinking age. She needs our help.

@hankgreen.bsky.social So, apparently "birds evolved from dinosaurs" is not a basic scientific fact? A joke contest in my courthouse led to my pointing out that one can have a dino for a pet if one has a bird. My lawyer/magistrate judge did not know this. People here thought crocs were dinos! WTH?

I was right. No omeprazole, no nightmares. No animals were harmed, I was not betrayed, belittled, humiliated, and dismissed. Just weird but not bad dreams that ended with me desperately trying to find a bathroom that woke me up 20 minutes before my 1st alarm. I'll take that over Saw dreams any day.
