My horse. Sandy Lou.

Can I hire Etsy witches for this?

I don’t make the prices. I’m just a grunt in the IT trenches. 🥲

My mom gained aphantasia from (we believe) years of undetected epilepsy and TBIs. She loses her things constantly. I have no idea if the two are related in her case. She also has really bad ADHD and the part of her brain that turns what she wants to say into actual sounds is fucked up so she stutters and forgets words and just replaces things with “Thingy”

It’s fascinating to be honest. The stutter and word forgetting thing started after a horse riding accident. It’s okay, though, because she proved she can be a rodeo champ. She stayed on for over 8 seconds. (My mom always mentions the rodeo champ part to lighten the story a bit)

My mom has aphantasia we believe is caused by years of undetected epilepsy and multiple TBIs.

She and I think completely opposite. She has a strict internal monologue with zero pics while I can only think in pictures/scenes and concepts.

Playing DND together is really interesting because we have to get as many visual examples as possible for stuff that’s happening for her to look at. She’s the only one in our group with aphantasia, so we all get pumped to find art to use for the sessions.

Main man may have to just go confront the Sun itself.

(Imagine if he tried to nuke the fuckin Sun lmfao)

How close are we to Marionette Mitch?

The only thing I like about Microsoft is that their shit products give me job security.

I get to do an extensive Microsoft Teams training for some middle-aged dudes next week. One of the men doesn’t recognize me as someone who can fix his shit. He straight up says, “Have one of your techs, your guys, give me a call” and I always tell him I am a technician and can handle his problem so he doesn’t have to wait. I use my kindest, sweetest customer service voice to talk to him and he has never once called me by my name despite it showing on his computer when I connect to it. He calls me honey and dear a lot and not in the endearing old person way.

But dealing with him pays the bills so

Same. Rif was the only good way to browse reddit on mobile imo

Man, I’m really killing it as a cancer lfg

Knew I’d figure out my calling in life.

I was already nauseated…

Thank you! Sandy doesn’t seem to be as miserable as I am, thankfully. She’s also a desert horse, so she’s naturally equipped to deal with her better than me lol

I got a hysterectomy last summer and now people don’t ask me about kids much anymore. People who don’t know me well think that I am upset over losing my ability to reproduce. The people I know well know that I had a small party after I got rid of my reproductive organs. I had a custom cake made and everything.

10/10 best medical decisions I’ve ever made for myself

Called off work on Friday because I accidentally fucked up my back Thursday night and woke up unable to move without excruciating pain. My boss left me on read. Didn’t even fucking reply.

I’m getting a new tat from a new artist (my old one retired because he almost died from a heart infection) on the 18th and I’m so excited for it. It’s gonna be the first part of a sleeve of legendary women. This one is Medusa. The artist asked for some inspo pics and I sent her some but I have no idea what her design will be until the 18th. Her shop does design reveals and revisions on the day of the appointment which just has me more hyped

Rice would be awesome. Maybe oats? Wheat?
