Megacolon sounds a lot cooler than it really is.

I like making surfaces in my home shiny, like my microwave or shower. Would you find a sense of accomplishment cleaning something small like your sink and admiring it? Sometimes I like the squeaky sounds when I scrub a surface… Kind of soothing.

I find if I just focus on a little part at a time, the task seems less daunting and it makes it easier to get started.

I am so jealous. My old work had stalls with gaps. The whole room was a bit tight, so you couldn’t just back up far enough to see the feet of the person in the stall. The locks were installed in such a way that if you pulled the door a little, it would open. (So a discreet soft pull on the door was not a good way of determining occupancy.)

The only way to know was to look in the gap.

I was about to go in a stall when I made eye contact with the current occupant of said stall. She just yelled out “YOU CREEPIN?”

I am of course not socially awkward at all and was completely normal when I replied back “no… Sorry.”

Actual privacy in a multi-stall bathroom would be so nice.

Then you’ll have to source your mold elsewhere. Bleu cheese is an option.

Easier than having them in parallel, like a wanna-be octomom.

Ahh my back. I need money to fix it.

I did. I do have sleep apnea, but it is mild. Mild enough that they’re hoping that fixing my bite will make the apnea go away. (My bite causes other problems so that would be a big win for me.) They will prescribe a CPAP if it’s not enough.

I’m hoping I’ll respond to these treatments enough that we won’t need to dig any more, but I want to know just in case. It seems like I keep finding more information about how my brain working differently can make things more difficult for me, so I am always curious to read what others say about it.

Yes please. I am always tired too, but we are working on sleep apnea first for me.

Same. I like the little nipple pillow. Makes it so it is so much less painful when it is cold.

I basically have to bribe my brain to do anything. Stupid electric soup in my skull.

I wish my enemies were more logical. They just make bullshit up and bully me instead. Completely useless for self-improvement.

The less I have to worry about the essentials, the happier I am. The essentials being…

• Personal safety

• Access to clean water and food

• Access to healthcare

• Access to housing that is adequate/does not make me sick

I still have to worry about all of the above a moderate amount, so it makes it a lot harder to deal with anything that makes me happy. If I hate my job, all of the above get a lot harder to secure, so I would need to tread carefully. My previous housing situation made me extremely sick, so I had to pay a lot more to find something that didn’t hurt me. (And therefore made it so I have to put off essential medical procedures.)

It’s not all bad, but I would imagine removing those barriers would lead me to the freedom to make decisions that make me happier.

Not at all. My changes are trash and this button reflects that.

Completely agree. The state of the US passenger train system is absolutely pitiful, and useless for any of the trips I needed to take.

If it’s just me, no problem. My partner and child both have it and now it is just chaos because, while they’re still doing their best, I can’t keep up with them. I miss cleanliness.

I hate the cold. I hate being cold. It is so painful.

But I will still occasionally have ice cream when the weather is cold. Delicious pain.

Her work did really speak to me as a young gay child in a place where it wasn’t ok. That being said, fuck the author. Haven’t gone to the park, haven’t seen the new movies, haven’t played the new games, haven’t given her any money in well over a decade.

In this day and age, I can easily find entertainment elsewhere. Anyone else that loved her work can do the same.

And as time goes on and more dirt appears, you can do a cool layered look.

Yep. It’s why I try not to lean into anything too hard and get secondhand or minimal supplies. If she latches on, we can look at expanding, but that usually just fizzles out.

It means when the government helps people that aren’t me or people I like, or fails to hurt the people I don’t like.
