this beautiful idiot went to live with someone else and honestly, both of our QOL are much better HAHA

#she just could not vibe with a house full of other animals #her anxiety manifested in insatiably eating everything #not just food #cardboard plastic you name it #i had to lock cupboards and put books on the bin so she couldnt open it and rummage through it #she screamed for food constantly #she innappropriately toileted constantly #to the point where i bought two automatic litter trays so they were always spotless in case that was the issue #she was medicated and given daily enrichment #but nope #anyway after over a year of kind of hating our life together #i bit the bullet and rehomed her #her food obsession has disappered and besides peeing on their bathmat once #she has used the litter tray without issue #we make a commitment to our pets yall #but do not force yourself to keep them if you are both miserable #i wish i was brave enough to have done this sooner #anyway #rehoming is not the devil #and you can do it responsibly #bye ferg i'm sorry to say i don't miss you #but i'm so glad you're finally happy #fergie #the cat edition

saw some tags on one of your posts and u have a cat name midna?? 🥺 I love that 🥺 can we see a pic pretty please

oh boy do I EVER have a cat named midna. and she is Deranged

(bonus: rare photo of midna being NOT a maniac + tiny baby muppet midna)

#today I went digging under the couch to figure out where all her springs went #and found THREE of my d20s which I guess she stole during my last dnd game without my noticing #like I knew she was picking up my dice but I didn’t realize she was STEALING THEM AND DROPPING THEM UNDER THE COUCH #she’s a menace to society with zero common sense too much energy zero fear and a talent for being annoying on purpose #when she wants my attention she will not just go do something she knows she shouldn’t #she will loudly meow first to make sure I’m watching. and then do the thing she knows she shouldn’t #she’s a PEST and she’ll be one year old on February 2nd #and I love her even if she’s probably an alien #asks #and yes her eyes are actually that brown/orange in real life #midna is: very vocal. extremely bossy. probably the pickiest cat on the planet. big fan of eating plastic tho #crunchy treats? chewy treats? of any flavor? freeze dried minnows? no #plastic bag? mmm yum munch munch

I got to sleep but I can't stop thinking about making mead. I need to make mead. Please let me focus all my energy on mead

#vappu on tulossa #life feels hopeless and scary. but at least there's sima #fyi I've never made mead because every year i forget and never realised i could make mead outside April (imagine) #i bought myself glass bottles for bottling the mead to feel fancy and (a bit more) plastic-free #what would i do without good food and beverages... #so hyped for my future mead-making

All I'm eating is rice and bananas right now I want some fucking protein I haven't been able to eat proper since 9/10 or 9/11 I can barely brush my teeth this feels like a root canal that didnt take the moment I got it done and it's not at all making me.confident for the other one I'm scheduled for because it seems like my tooth pain is never going away andnif the other root canal is on the other side of my mouth I'm just straight uo fucked like what will I do because i had a banana i was eating touch that tooth again last night by accident and it hurt so fuckinf bad. I didn't even bite down!! I can't do this anymore

#like I'm trying to be silly funny lol about it but this is affecting my day to day life i keep grabbing the counter when i brush because th #e tooth is so sensitive. i thought there wasnt supposed to be nerves left TO feel after a root canal. man. #ive heard pulling a tooth hurts more but its looking like a valid fucking option right about now. #i know it affects more.of your teeth doing that and can cause them to shift which is a thing my already small overcrowded mouth doesn't need #and it'd probably make me need dentures or something else even quicker (lol!) but man. im not fuckinf strong enough to do this. #ive never jad this level of tooth sensitivity until after this root canal. what did you guys fucking do to my tooth #elias howls #and when i tried telling the Dentist abt it I was brushed off like no!!! i dont think this is normal i wasnt numbed when i bit down on th #e plastic before. #i go in more cavities soon like 4 days and i know im still not gonna be able to have anything even TOUCH that tooth without pain and im #gonna tell them again and tell them its fucking ruining my life bc it is #~2 more days of antibiotics and then those stay in my system for an extra 4 days. both my top and bottom jaw are still sore days later lol! #top from root canal done ages ago now and my bottom from the ''emergancy'' visit i did on my birthday #**** ** **** ** *** * ****** ****** lol

aight peace out y'all I have no energy left and I'm done the movie. So much for a restful experience after a long day. All I wanted was something fun to watch while folding laundry but apparently this was not the movie to watch for that. I should've just stuck with Rebels

#i kept going out of sheer rage and it is now half past two so i DO need to hit the hay xD #tomorrow i shall wake up and regret losing my temper so many times #but i take comfort i knowing that the level of vitriol expressed in these posts comes nowhere near kylo ren's level of RAAAAAAGE #i get scared quite easily irl even by sudden noises and movements but i think my body's stress reactions and impulses have adapted #to kylo ren's screams of fury. to the point where if a grown man were to kick up such a fuss in my face now i'd be as cool as a cucumber #contemptuous even #i was TERRIFIED of kylo for half the film and spent the other half so angry and indignant on behalf of the people he yelled at #i don't know if i can handle the last movie this one was unlike any viewing experience i've had in a while #i have been spoiled for many things so yes i know that there is Redemption yes i know there is Good Stuff i know there is Good in kylo #yes i know there's as much fluff pointless meandering and terrible lines in the next one as there was in this one #but life is short and this movie just took 2.5 hours out of my life so i Think Not #and i Know that y'all who watched tros and loved it (at least loved the ben/rey parts of it) love ben too #however i haven't the energy to endure another 2.5+ hour star wars movie without any of the original stuff's magic and wonder and fun #and the tlj kylo ren literally ticks all the boxes on my Men You Ought To Avoid At All Costs list #ticks 'em twice crosses out the lines and scribbles all over it in a sudden wild frenzy of fear apprehension and reproach #characterization is all over the place the plot is like riding a dollar store plastic toboggan down mt olympus backwards blindfolded #and handcuffed to a rabid horse's hind leg #tlj liveblog

In the nicest and most sincere way possible, Rung looks like he would go "Ope! Sorry, gonna squeeze right past you." when trying to walk past someone and the space between them is a bit to close for comfort, but not enough so that he would actually run into the person

#idk there's something about Rung that radiates MASSIVE American Midwestern Energy #He would take 4 hours to say goodbye when over at someone's house #You can't leave his house without him insisting you take home some leftover food from your visit #There is a junk drawer in his kitchen #He tells the cashier at the store 'You take care now!' when leaving knowing he will never see them again #He would tell any organic life to tell their parents (folks) he said hi #(this also applies to those with a Conjux but the joke works better with parents) #He has a plastic bag filled with more plastic bags underneath his kitchen sink #This man is from The Midwest I am sorry #My favorite part about this post is that it's incomprehensible to anyone outside of the Midwest #Rung #Transformers

Happy Queer Media Monday!

Today: Cocoon (2020)

Yeah, not really my kind of story, but it sure made some memorable points.

(The last and most memorable picture from the movie, when Nora finds that her pet caterpillar has hatched.)

Summer 2018. Berlin is suffering under a heatwave. 14-year-old Nora’s life is changing, as she navigates everyday relationships, starts menstruating and discovers her sexuality. 

A low budget coming of age story set in Berlin, I feel like this movie really captured well what it’s like to be a teenager, when everything in your life seems so big and important. The title is fitting, as, instead of a complete story with a conclusion, this “just” captures a moment of transformation in Nora’s life.

I watched this in summer 2020, when I was in Köln for a weekend. It was a very memorable experience, as 1) small village girl in a big city, and 2) summer 2020, so the whole evening had this beautifully forbidden in-between feel to it. It was a small cinema, so that was nice, too. I cried during the Pride scene. None of this has any significance in regard to the movie itself, but it matters to me, so I’m telling you about it.

You can find a trailer with subtitles here.

Queer Media Monday is an action I started to talk about some important and/or interesting parts of our queer heritage, that people, especially young people who are only just beginning to discover the wealth of stories out there, should be aware of. Please feel free to join in on the fun and make your own posts about things you personally find important!

#it was a great movie watching experience #it was a mild evening and there were people sitting outside at the cafés #the sun went down while we were inside of the cinema #so it wasn't quite dark yet when the movie finished I believe? #but all the lights were coming on and everything #and there were still people sitting outside #so the whole situation had some deliciously forbidden vibe to it #difficult to describe you had to be there #yeah 2020 was a year huh #anyway as to the movie #I feel it actually went well with that situation #as everything in Nora's life seems BIG and IMPORTANT #and it's like everyday things like going to the swimming pool with her sister and her sister's friends #sitting on rooftops #school... #but that really is what being 14 is like isn't it? #like plastic bag in the water is just the perfect symbolism #so beautiful in the moment but from a distance just an ordinary object without any value #like my evening and like Nora's summer #wow I'm getting really deep here #as I said coming of age is not really my thing #but this sure did capture some Truths #movies #queer movies #german cinema #Cocoon #coming of age movies #lesbian movies #Queer Media Monday

plastic is so cool

#looking around at all the stuff in my life that’s made out of plastic. wondering how much of it could be replaced without losing quality. #some! but far from all.

[orcelito]

I fashioned a . Tooth guard for my canker sore. Bc it was quite literally agonizing brushing my teeth & then rinsing with salt water was Hell. And my teeth. Kept. Scraping .

So I cut a little part of a plastic baggy off & stuck it between my teeth and my cheek. A little awkward, but it already seems to be helping with letting me do. Uh. Anything lmao. Small mouth movements that would've caused immediate sharp pain, now only a dull pain. I can handle this.

#speculation nation #negative/ #now we just need to see if it'll stay in while i sleep. #i dont Really want to have plastic shoved into my mouth as i sleep but that seems to be the only reprieve from The Teeth im gonna get #this sore was one Hundred percent caused by my molars. i probably accidentally bit it while chewing or smth #so it's in the prime position to be constantly rubbed against by my molars. which huuuuurts #like this . it's better. and i hope the separation from the teeth helps it heal faster. #it's not ideal. rather annoying. but i gotta do what i gotta do i guess #tho now im just tapping my teeth together bc it's amazing to be able to do that without immediate Very sharp pain #god canker sores are the worst. this is just ruining my Whole mood. #AND I LIVE WITH MY RIBS IN CONSTANT PAIN but i never complain about it bc that's just life with chronic pain babeyyy #high pain tolerance. but this? this is hell. #canker sore references say it is a 'severe' pain so like. trust me. this Really fucking sucks.

TIL that putting the oven on 230 °C, aka the temperature listed on the package for baking a frozen pizza, can apparently burn said oven from the inside.

Also while I’m writing this, it just made the loudest BONG noise ever.

Help.

#another day in the life of a toadshark #cooking fail #baking fail #internet tells me that’s 446F #I didn’t even put the pizza in yet #the package said to pre-hear before putting the pizza in (at that temperature) #this isn’t even the first time I made this pizza how did it only go so wrong NOW #also it smells pretty bad but not burnt bad? More like plastic bad? #which can’t really be the case since that’s all metal?? #and there was nothing inside- i checked #regardless the windows are wideee open #what the fuck #UPDATE: #turns out it’s because of detergent #because someone who shall not be named put it in and decided to walk out and disappear for multiple hours #without telling me beforehand #to maybe not use the oven that is frequently used to warm up frozen stuff #so apparently I ate pizza with detergent #it did not taste significantly different #but if this blog suddenly becomes inactive for a week this is the reason #(​or incredibly active it depends)
