i just came home to my family watching “jumanji” and when i googled rhys’ character i was treated to this hilarious AI mixup with a different movie character: “a koala who is known for his feisty and immature personality, and his hatred of being called cute and cuddly.” i mean, it’s not NOT rhys…

ugh, covid round 3. i’m scared because i’ve had post-viral nonsense both other times, but is it weird that as a mom with a full-time job a silver lining is having time to read fic in bed? any recent recs? i missed fettering-fest and need to catch up on june and july content in general. 😫🤧🏴☠️🌈📚?

putting this out there for crew struggling w/ family of origin: we (neurospicy fam of 4) survived a vacation with my narcissistic dad & appeasing mom, all while bonding w/ my brother (bipolar) like i haven’t since i was a teen. water may not always find its own level, but we can build an aqueduct.

at work we’ve been sorting and rescanning our pamphlet collection by call number and this morning we got to the Ds, meaning i found myself hollering across the workroom “just bring all the D and DP to me!” and i was trying so hard not to blush and give myself away. 😳

roach would 100% order this and be enraged when the chocolate didn’t instantaneously appear. when it finally did show up, he’d be pissed again that he couldn’t just like point at the tin to make the drink appear. frenchie would agree that it was bogus and that cats were definitely involved somehow.
