sophia, of little meltdowns

telling all my friends i got bit by a dog and judging by their responses if they mentally classify me as a pokey or a gumby

a mockup of a poster seen in a dream. the background is a cyan-magenta gradient. there is clip art of a dj in the upper left hand corner, with a paragraph to its right - "Alice Deejay's mastery of their artform cannot be overstated. Born from humble beginnings, these Dutch performers went from unknown factors to worldwide sensations overnight, and their iconic 'signature' song was nearly inescapable in 1999." below that, in larger, bright red bold text: "Even your fucking dog would bounce this shit." finally, towards the bottom, there is a semi-transparent png of a golden retriever, overlaid with small, italicized text: "You are not better off alone. Talk to me." the whole thing looks bad

painting in broad strokes here obviously but also i saw this poster in a dream last night

The Poem You've Been Waiting For - The Offing Wit Tea - The Offing Magazine

“I, reader, have spent all day in my underwear
In bed
Crying about the fact that rent is due”

From “The Poem You’ve Been Waiting For,” new Wit Tea by Jay Délise @jaydelise.bsky.social

One of the traditions — mamemaki (豆撒き: bean scattering) involves throwing beans (typically roasted soybeans) at depictions of oni or someone wearing an oni mask. This is said to drive out evil spirits bringing misfortune and poor health!

Today (Feb 3) is Setsubun [節分] ! Originally viewed as the start of spring, Setsubun is the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox! It's a holiday in Japan!

There are many traditions involving Setsubun, but many involve bringing good fortune for the year!

it wasn't just that i was attacked it was that i was attacked so immediately after therapy i was still in a severely kindergarten headspace

chasers will roll up and like all your stupid photos but not ask if you're okay after getting attacked by a fucking dog

got attacked by a dog. no punctures thankfully

"her beauty is a form of charity"

woodpecker noises

jagged citrus evaporite ring
lemonade cirrus cloud
desktongue whitewash
had more but i lost it
subsurface paintdrip
nine-volt battery
hands both high and away

got demoted from princess

gliss-blue,
yawning streaks ,
scab-crescent, tucked
into curving pale—
glimmering green
ripples featherlight
in,

(swallowing handfuls of sand)

grisaille-on-reflection,
yawing threads
slick white
where she cuts lines,
dusted grey,

i don't know how i feel about so many people liking a headless picture of me here's a waist-up of the girl who needs to get strapped by her mother so gawp it up you fucking randos

is it like... my hypersexuality is rooted in a desperate need to feel the physio-emotional sensation of love and the fact that only sexual arousal seems to approximate that for me?

do others remember what it was like to be small?

You are not the man of the house. You are the forest.

told the group chat "lol i know i just introduced myself as maple but it's sophia now my bad lmfao......" (two hours after everyone had stopped talking) (no one responded) (8:40p)

it's so crass to call it 'docking', isn't it? like i'm just letting her maneuver in without guidance- how impersonal! much better to have a dozen arms to pull her into place....

Don’t ever let people forget this.

thank youuuuuu 🙏

asked dad today about how we spent time when i was a kid and he said we would go to parks and carnivals and other places and when i asked how mom and i spent time together he was like "she let you play video games" and it's hard to tell when he says those things if he is just mad at her even now

why the fuck does my decapitated likeness have one hundred likes, whatever, hope y'all like incest

ah fuck. accidentally cooked a animorph
