Omamori (Japanese protection charm) with a cat dressed as the Statue of Liberty with the text Freenyam

America might not believe in freedom right now, but @sharkcat.bsky.social does, and so do I. Freenyamを守ろう！

Guess I learned my lesson with being extra nice and letting just one student submit stuff the day grades are due cuz then another student swooped in asking for the same after talking to the first student… I’m having weird medicine side effects, I don’t have time for this

Aaaah so cute!!

Celebrated my dating anniversary with @explosionlimit.bsky.social yesterday! We’ve been together for 12 years now ❤️ We went out to a delicious izakaya for dinner!

Outside of the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, with screen advertising Hope on the Stage event which is sold out

J-hope concert last night was soooo amazing, he is such an amazing performer. I was too busy dancing so no photos of stage, but we had a really nice view. I am tired af now tho lol

two of the most adorable little brown dogs you've ever seen trotting merrily through brown grass--they're carrying a little white banner held up by two small sticks that says "NO TERFS"

also, always, forever

We got on line at around 10 for noon start. The only thing sold out by the time we got to front was the arena specific acorn. They had TONS of boxes in the back too so hopefully you can get everything you want! Good luck!

I got almost everything I wanted from J-hope merch! Just one tour date exclusive thing was sold out, but I’m soooo happy. I skipped therapy for this hahaha

I had wanted this full set doll when it first came out but too expensive… so happy I was able to put it together 2nd hand for far less AND I like this wig and face way better! She’s a Harmonia Bloom Mellow base, wig from Luts.

Plastic daffodil and rabbit shaped pot from Miniverse spring season series

Stupidly emotional over this mini. Daffodils were my mom’s favorite flower and always remind me of her. But this was a seasonal rare set with no secret tell— but I allowed myself time to be a super weirdo and shake all the balls and managed to find it in store. So happy!

Crocheted tote bag with the Archive of Our Own logo done in tapestry crochet

Crocheted tote bag with tags from Ao3 done in tapestry crochet, held open slightly to show the lining fabric which has strawberry plants on it

Finished my new bag in time for Katsucon! (If you know me, you know what the squares on the back are!)

It’s funny cuz it’s true

I was due for infinite doctor appts and scans (all yearly check up type stuff) and I just used the last of my executive function for the day to get them all straightened out

Thank you!

Figure of character Midoriya Izuku from anime My Hero Academia, look sad and haggard, from his vigilante arc

Vigilante Izuku was my birthday present from @Rinlin and I just wanna stare at his cute, sad figure. Waiting to go out for further bday shenanigans.

We're going to make it through this 🩷💙
Let's turn our fear and rage into community action.

Could/should open the bag though, and I had to cut it open. Nonetheless, this is the sort of detail I expect from Re-ment, not American toys!!

Toy Miniature bag of potato chips called Pugtato chips, with cute pug mascot and several miniature potato chips with dog faces on them.

I admit to being HIGHLY dubious when Zuru announced their Minibrands Kawaii series. But it’s actually a fantastic combo of kawaii/Japanime and modern American toys aesthetic. The pugtato chips actually had tiny chips inside that look like tiny dogs!!! It wasn’t immediately obvious that you

Walking down the street and some woman declared “There’s a Taylor Swift song for every emotion” and I died inside a little. I mean, listen to whatever music you want! But there’s so much more to the world and music and emotions than that.

A photo of a wall ornament depicting a barn owl in flight. There are cut outs of a moon and stars dangling from it. They're painted with gold paint and hanging from thin brass colored chains.

It fulfills the need to pick at my skin for some reason that I can’t explain. But I guess this is better cuz I’m not creating bloody holes in myself.

Image of fingers on a Turquoise rubber stim or fidget toy

I’ve been experimenting with different stim/fidget toys lately and it was helpful but I did not realize I could feel legitimate joy from stimming until I got this thing. How do I even explain it?? You ploink the little rubber bits and it makes the littlest noise and it’s perfect

I managed to nab tix for SOAD (+Korn) show next August and have been re-listening to Toxicity for first time in long time and freaking out in excitement. Trying not to head bang at work.

Thank you. Thankfully I also had appt with therapist who is treating my ED (properly) so I had some much needed support there

Ikr? Thankfully I also had appt with therapist who is helping with my ED so had some productive discussion there

My psych, who I have been meaning to replace anyway. This has just expedited that need

Tip for medical professionals: when a patient in your care tells you that they’re currently undergoing treatment for an eating disorder, do not proceed to offer them meds new meds with promises of it helping them lose weight

I bought #AnimalCrossing #PocketCampComplete and it is excellent tappy tappy game when I need to dissociate for a bit. Feel free to friend me!

Thankfully she is already home! Small procedure fixed the problem and they only kept her overnight to be extra safe.
