The light things I can do, it's just the deeper cleans I'm too tired to deal with.

Is there a way to get Amazon to stop 'arrives before father's day' messaging?

Atrocious behaviour The Daily Mash, *especially* during Pride month. This is viciously biphobic, bi women have to put up with this crap all the time, especially those in relationships with men, they don't need it from you. If you have a shred of decency, you'll apologise and delete this.

Drawings of a (defiant looking) black bird, wielding a knife, with a Pride flags. Included is the rainbow flag, trans, pans, bi, ace, aro, demi ace, demi aro, intersex, agender, genderqueer, genderfluid, lesbian, gay, and nonbinary flags. He wields two knives on the bi flag drawing, a frying pan on the pan flag, and is drinking from a glass with a straw on the genderfluid flag drawing. In the middle are the words β€œit’s pride, do crime”.

All the Pride Lemons (I think??) that I drew a couple of years ago, because I realized I’d never posted them here. Happy Pride Month! πŸ”ͺ

I'm doing okay, desperately sad, but I don't feel like I'm being physically torn apart anymore. Overwhelmed by many things, but I have Mara, John and Myrtle. We're getting there.

I may be awol for a while, but just so you know, my sister is with me, and we'll get through this somehow.

Go hug your nearest and dearest and tell them you love them.

My dad, the absolute centre of my world, suffered a stroke on Tuesday evening, killing his brain stem. Essentially, he's not there anymore, but basic functions continue. We're waiting for his body to pass, but don't know how long that will take. Wherever he is, I hope he found mum again.

Cancer wasn't even on the radar for mum. It came up in bloodwork for something else. We never expected it, and less than two months later, she was gone.

Cancer is insidious, it's so easy to miss or dismiss until it's too late.

Always loved Calvin and Hobbes but the day I realised that it wasn't just talking tiger & kid but Calvin's stuffed toy he lives in this alternate reality with while navigating the everyday world was when I understood this is one of the greatest works of literature in history of the English language

a blond golden retriever smiles while standing next to a quaint stone building. the dog’s head is approximately the height of the chimney extending above the roof. a smaller building in the background with yellow windows and black doors only comes up to his shoulder. the blue sky above has a few wisps of clouds overhead.

This is Deku. He's approximately three stories tall. Shedding season is a public health concern. 14/10

This is good news. And no, poor families do NOT have to have Netflix to access Sesame Street. Netflix will release episodes to PBS the *same day* they drop on Netflix, which is significantly better than the prior deal with HBO, which delayed episodes for 9 MONTHS before porting them over to PBS.

They're talking about "water based" cooking now. Cooking things in water instead of oils. It's soup. They're making soup.

Apple Books has ALL of the audiobooks in the Murderbot series by @MarthaWells.com on sale.

⭐️Murderbot is a snarky, ace, agender, autistic, badass who just wants to be left alone so that it can watch it’s favorite videos all day πŸŒˆπŸ“šπŸš€

The audiobooks’ narration by Kevin R. Free is also excellent.

Exactly. Obviously I know what happens in the books, but they made it really clear in that ep he cares about the team and has reasons not to trust Murderbot. And it was down to little things as well, like dancing even though he's awkward.
