Last year I found a lifeless bird caught in the decorative fence meant to keep my dog from jumping off the terraced part of my yard. It was really sad, but I learned that leaving a strip of tall grass behind the fence prevented the birds from flying through it.

Last month a robin broke its neck on my front window, so I’ve decided the entire place must be cursed

I also enjoy erininthemorning, just note that her wife is part of Montana state legislature and she’s labeled left-biased

There’s a growing split in the state between the old-school Republicans and MAGA right now. There have been a few MAGA bills aimed at lgbtq+ and environment that failed because the few old schoolers were convinced that those bills were against the state constitution, and the values like privacy and freedom that the magats claim to hold dear.

It’s honestly been really interesting to watch over the last year or two.

I struggled with night terrors from PTSD for a long time. Developed a binge drinking habit to try and cope, because I didn’t want to sleep anymore and had to knock myself out.

Eventually I was able to get help. Two years with the right therapist (many more trying to find her) and I actually only get night terrors once a month or so now. That might sound like a lot, but weeks of refreshing sleep between episodes makes life so much easier to live. Things have taken a slight dive since the start of the year, but I know once politics and security are stable again I’ll be okay. Being able to rephrase my brain from “torturing” me to “coping any way it can” has helped, but I think the journey to dealing with nightmares is different for everyone

For some reason Lady and the Tramp reminded my mother of The King and I. So I had to watch both in the same week for the first time, and it was a very weird experience lol

Edit: I just looked them up and they were made four years apart! I assumed the Disney movie was made in the 80s because I saw it in the 90s lol

I can understand trying to do what you think will get you roles, especially in a current and post-Trump America, but I think diversity is incredibly special. Like, I want to know and understand all of what makes a person the icon that they are, and celebrate it with them.

I’m probably totally biased by the multicultural influences and experiences in my life.

I’ve been repeating that “monument to man’s arrogance” line for ages! Totally had forgotten where I heard it first. I might have to re-watch a few episodes tonight

Oh, definitely. It would probably be irresponsible to not monitor his media unofficially. It’s the way he is acting like this is an official method of open communication to mediate between governments that’s ridiculous to me. Maybe I’ve forgotten how things were before Twitter shut his account down, but I’m still amazed he doesn’t have people who can get him to understand how bad this is

Pakistan hasn’t withdrawn the nomination yet. It was just the Ukrainian who seemed a bit misinformed who withdrew it

That phrase sounds a little too French for Americans to understand

Never mind that those are English words

There’s some really cute little tools out there to mask injection site pain

My friend uses this, because she has kids and that’s what she had on hand

There’s also a more generic shield type thing

Well, who knows? The next one could be a 10 day war, or maybe less. We should really just count any pause in ammunition exchange as an end to a war, there’s enough Champagne Adderall to go around

I’ve been patiently waiting for moths pondering orbs
