In today's what the actual audacity:

I've been asked to speak for free on the barriers faced by blind people... by the Labour party.

I explained that giving up working hours without payment while I have to cover the cost of childcare would create a financial disadvantage. The response? It's online

Free food? Don’t mind if I do.

I am entertained at people coming up to the doors and staring at them as if they’ll open magically and then get shocked that they have to walk to the other doors, which are open.

Oof.

This will probably not matter. It’s just the Coast Guard, amirite?! And the next one probably won’t matter. But at some point, all these people who didn’t matter will suddenly matter Very Very Much and I suspect that will astound some people in power who don’t think the military are people.

Eh. It’s been a growing problem since we went from Quiverfull to Anti Vaxxer in the last 20 years.

Apparently Southern Living magazine can’t spell my name while they offer me a β€œsenior discount” for their magazine. Dude, I turn 40 next year. I’m not that old.

Some days I wake up and just miss LiveJournal more than I can easily articulate.

Told Jamie his hemogoblins were good and now he’s decided that β€œhemogoblins” is the correct word.

Migraine going down to tolerable levels. It has been a while since I’ve had one like this, which Jamie just goes β€œProof stress will fuck your shit up.” Now if the muscle spasms in my shoulder would stop this would be 10 times better.

Gods damnit, Virginia. You had such lovely weather yesterday, why you gotta have a FREEZE WARNING for tonight. Quit your bullshit. It’s April. It’s supposed to be like…75Β° at minimum now.

Coworker E: do you have cooties?
Jamie: my rabies vaccination is still good so I’m you should be fine.

Friend of our texted Jamie asking if we wanted a puppy. Is a very cute puppy. It’s like a 1:16 version of our old dog Hobbes.

But no. No puppy. Especially not after the previous puppy fiasco.

Why does insulin smell weird. Is it me? I think it’s me. I normally can’t smell things for the most part, but I’m starting to again after many, many years, and it’s weird.

I need to get used to having this insulin pen with me. We almost left the house without it and I am not capable of tending to other peoples feelings if Jamie crashes out and they realize that I am the asshole with RBF who is calm in crisis.

Listening to narrations of antiquarian horror and was very surprised to find myself noping the hell out of it because giant, ethereal, β€œas thin as a spider’s web” earwig being set up to purposefully eat your brains is very much…not my jam.

We are utterly perplexed.

I can catch PokΓ©mon on google but Jamie, the actual PokΓ©mon fan, can’t and it’s driving him up the wall

Yknow, with streaming services putting in non skippable ads, it’s only a matter of time before we get video stores back.

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I got a text saying that their stock keeps dropping. Well, what do you expect when they raise prices, give ramen as a β€œhot treat” during snow storms, and throw money at dollar-tree hitler and himmler like it’s confetti.

My phone is so tired of playing β€œboogie woogie woo” as I am of hearing it that it shut the music app off.

Oooo. Rockstar Strawberry Peach after eating a Lime Tootsie fruit chew leaves a slightly limey tart taste. Hell yeah.
