Sometimes Jimmi Pickles gets bored when I’m working and I’ll look up and she’s just in some random place

Remind me not to look at Bluesky when in an emotionally vulnerable state. Didn’t need to see a bunch of “to be a man is to be a violent disgusting rapist” commentary alongside the news the government is pushing ahead to prevent me from using all public bathrooms because my appearance is triggering

I’d like to say the cure for my headache is cuddles and kisses, and magically receive some.

But in reality I should simply just take the painkillers that have been next to my arm on my desk for the last several hours.

This is the most difficult challenge I have ever, and will ever, face.

Je suis fatigué.

Learning that there’s a voice in my head that cares about me, loves me, believes in me and is proud of me is great.

Learning that voice is *my* voice and seeing it grow louder and louder is wondrous

It is shaky sometimes, it’s learning to speak for the first time with conviction. And that’s okay.

Less than 6 hours sleep. We persist. Good morning.

Do not put that ignorant compassion-for-me-and-not-for-thee reductive fearmongering personal essay on my timeline. I ain’t interested. Always happy when someone learns about themselves, never happy when they use their happiness to tarnish another’s.

The witch made him hot chocolate.

"They say I'm strong," he said. "And I am."

He took a sip.

"They say I can overcome any hardship."

"Mm," said the witch.

"And I can. I do."

The witch said nothing.

"But I shouldn't have to!"

"No."

The witch held the hero as he wept.

"No, you shouldn't."

I feel scared, but thats okay. I won’t always feel this way.

I could introspect myself to ruin, or I could get a burger and lay down. I think I’ll do the latter.

How have I already been on the testestorone for 112 days? Time makes no sense.

I took my afternoon stimulants hours early and it did nothing for my tiredness, guess I’ll try another, what could go wrong?!

rawdogging life is exhausting

Thinking a lot this morning about the scene in Avatar where Azula fully loses it and breaks down.

Anyway, office day. You know what that means. See you around.

Accidentally scared a spider so bad she’s either pretending to be dead or is dead dead.

I blew air toward her and her “dead” legs twitched a little so hopefully she is okay and will forgive me if I give her space by leaving the house.

Feels bad. Not a super start to the day.

I became the owner of my own iron for the first time in my life today.

Did I know I had childhood trauma about them? Yes.

Did I realise that merely filling one up and switching one on was sufficient to send me right back to my childhood in an unpleasant way? Nope!
