I'd say this is an anomaly but seriously roos are sometimes nosy and just need to be in your business, OR they will fight you if you look at them funny. I love them, they're great, but they make little sense.
The fucking horror I felt in my soul of the 3 seconds it took to try to and work out what the fuck this animal was
am i baiting her to break my heart?
does the pain taste sweeter when i'm the one who caused it?
running against walls just to feel something
feeling like i felt at seventeen
My therapist just told me my problem is that I need to write more fanfiction.
This sounds fake but the logic behind it is actually really interesting? She said obsession with a new fandom triggers quick dopamine release when we consume all this related content--it's easy and addictive.
What we're NOT getting is that 'slow dopamine' that's more sustainable and engaging. That's the kind we get from DOING things that take effort but are ultimately rewarding.
So like, she suggested that writing fic and making fanart are ways to balance the quick dopamine of watching a show/reading fic with the slow dopamine of working at something that takes effort.
Moral of the story is you should engage in the process of creation around your favorite things. You'll feel better for it.
Oh.
OH.
this is great this is just like playing with dolls
Thank you @dragodina for tagging me :D
Song stuck in my head:
The last song I listened to
last song I listened to:
Traitor - Olivia Rodrigo
I listen to the album in the car, because I find it funny to imagine how dramatic some people can get about break-ups. Like it's not that deep. It just didn't work out because you had different things in mind for your relationship. You're both young, so move on.
But I think it is also a very valid coping mechanism to write songs like that or listen to songs like that when you just had a break-up. It all just feels way more dramatic then.
three favourite foods:
Chili sin/con carne, Moussaka, Käsespätzle
Last thing I googled:
cardgames.io/cribbage/
Because I need something to do on the bus ride home
Dream trip:
Stockholm 💕 to visit my girlfriend
Anything I want right now:
To be with my girlfriend and to be there for her.

“What is jam? What makes something authentically jam? Can bacon really be made into jam?
It was all very Existentialist.
The answer to those questions is a bit complicated and non-definitive. The U.S. FDA has defined jam and jelly in very specific and mathematical terms (such-and-such percentage of juice to fruit to water to sugar = jam/jelly); it also uses jam and preserve interchangeably, for the most part. While interesting, the FDA’s definitions did not matter much to me because the FDA wasn’t really using the terms in the way that we usually use the terms. Also, the FDA wasn’t comprehensive in its definitions. It didn’t tackle other fruit spreads like marmalades or curds, for instance.
The more I looked into, the more I thought, dude, this information would make a good infographic.”
Then I’m with you
my brother had a brilliant idea that i wanted to share with other people who have four-legged family members: he trained our two cats to go directly to the door when they hear the fire alarm.
obviously at first the fire alarm sent them scrambling for cover, but he started slowly by giving them treats whenever it went off, when someone burned food or forgot to open the fireplace flu. he then progressed to calling them to the door to offer treats immediately after the alarm went off. and it actually wasn't too long before the cats voluntarily started going to the door upon hearing the alarm.
i think this was genius because in the event of a real emergency we know exactly where the cats will be and we will not have to waste precious time trying to find them to rescue them. i think this method would work equally well with dogs and probably other free-roaming pets such as rabbits, ferrets, etc. and i certainly encourage others to give it a shot!

Introducing a bunch of new cat designs that will come as freebie stickers for future orders in the shop! ✨
cut open a package of bacon while making food tonight, and then paused to take a pic because I realized the way I open bacon is probably not normal
is it just me? does anyone else do this?

I think we've all done something very important here. thank you for your input!
Do you have ADHD
do you think I would have learned excel for this if I didn't have ADHD?
issue: the kittens are still trying to learn words. gus knows his name and daisy knows hers, but they don’t seem to quite grasp that when I say “babies!” im referring to both of them.
hypothesis: “babies” is too similar to “daisy” and they’re getting confused
test: start saying “gamers” instead
Outcome: they’re understanding it and it’s hysterically funny
me, calling down the hall from stirring a can of cat food: LET’S GO, GAMERS
the kittens:
Yes please show us the gamers
here’s the gamers! Daisy is on the left and August is on the right! i spent 45 minutes trying to get this shot
I love drawing cats
OH MY GODDDDD
shoutout to the guy in charge of the train station at my hometown, who doesn’t limit himself to announcing trains but also:
They look like the strings section of an orchestra.
