Just watched an ad for a crochet thing that began with "skip the swatches" and I could feel from hundreds of miles away, @katriddell.bsky.social screaming in rage

I'm at a loss of how to navigate the world right now, and I feel like most advice is aimed towards abled NT folks w/out mental illness.
- Take a break? How?
- Don't give into despair? My baseline is knee-deep in it. Yay, depression.
- Disconnect? It's still happening. I still *KNOW* it's happening.

Commiserated with my coworker about how an online form doesn't port into a spreadsheet, it just emails the full (completed) form to you. We lamented together over how a spreadsheet/table/collective data organization chart would save everyone time and energy.
This is what librarians complain about.

My acorn stash got infested with acorn weevils and there will be no second batch of flour from the 2025 collection year.

Love the appearance of the only-one-bed romance trope 😂

Note to self: do not walk into a vet office to pick up your dog's prescription and announce to the desk ladies that you're "here for drugs". They will seem slightly less concerned when you clarify "dog drugs" but best not to alarm the nice vet desk ladies

According to my toddler, there are 4 (1/2) animals.
Dogs
Cows
Sheep
Ducks
(Fish?)
If he was a more cooperative child, I would love for people to suggest animals for me to show him so he can categorize them into one of those categories however he is known for refusing to participate.

I love playing "Why does my tummy hurt?" Holiday Edition.
It's like the regular version but you also worry about your relatives asking questions

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..."
Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

There are, as far as I can see, four conclusions that the listener can draw from "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"
1. This kid is a liar he didn't see anything and he's making it up
2. Santa Claus is a dirty cheat and so is that kid's mom (depending on relationships status with the child's father)

Every establishment I go into has their Christmas music on at level 10000 and I am so done. I can't talk to people or on the phone or even hear my thoughts.
I love a Christmas song. Love a carol. Enjoy a little holiday ditty. I do not enjoy having Christmas music used as a weapon against my senses.

I just told my dog that I was drowning my feelings in chocolate and peanut butter and I needed her to respect my process and she walked away. So either she is respecting my process or she is deeply disappointed in me.

The unadulterated joy with which my child began yelling "Outside! Outside!" when his father told him we were going on a walk and the abject despair when he learned he has to get dressed first could be a whole soap opera.

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social I got my husband (who has a marine bio degree) the eel facts calendar. He has this far pointed out that "electric eels aren't actually eels, they're knifefish".
He's having a great time. 😂

Me when I'm trying to write for a prompt for the first time in years: nice! I love guidelines!
Me, an hour later: this is going really well!
Me, two hours later: okay I might have too many ideas for this
Me, three hours later: No amount of guidelines can help me, everything is garbage
Stay tuned.

So I used a recipe that called for 1/2 cup of acorn flour and 2-2 5 cups white/all purpose flour in case the taste was really strong. Bread is slightly sweet, a hint of nuttiness in the aftertaste, and has been described as tasting like the brown bread from Outback Steakhouse

My acorn flour experiment continues!

Now to find a recipe that uses one cup of acorn flour.
