It’s weird how everyone hating you when you’re nine years old still affects your self esteem when you’re 26 like yeah nobody came to my birthday party but that was like 17 years ago why is it stopping me from going to a gay bar

If you have ever been tempted by a Paleozoic Pal, like a a stuffed trilobite or a full size eurypterid body pillow, now's the time to buy one, before they and a really lovely little museum are gone for good 😭😭😭

[sablebrushwolf]

The company budsies, which specializes in making custom stuffed animals and making duplicates of old or lost plushies, is currently offering to recreate the beloved stuffed animal of any kid who lost theirs in the LA wildfire, free of charge.

Their instagram post said to share this, so please spread this around so that families who've lost everything can receive just a little bit more hope in their lives 🥺

So I just listened again and I cannot get over the fact that the recording of beach piano that Matt used on MYTH side one is the exact same recording as the one they wrote and played on Jam Mechanics.

Meaning that they wrote and recorded a song in three hours that was high quality enough to stick on an album - and a very exactingly polished album at that.

The talent of this individual never ceases to astound and humble me

Little life advice:

Everyone who says not to set your stove clock or microwave clock because you won't use them and don't look at them anyway is lying.

Set them.

Because sometimes, you will come come from a week away when no one was in your home, and see the stove and microwave clocks blinking and go, "Oh shit, the power went out while I was gone, even though it's clearly back, which means every single thing in my fridge and freezer might have gotten room temperature and refrozen, and will give me food poisoning."

And it will be the only indication whatsoever not to eat it.

Anyway, just got back from the grocery store, but at least I don't have botulism.

help me get my partner with MCAS stabilized

Hey all.

The good news: I’ve found True Love™️.

The bad news: my long-distance partner is disabled with worsening chronic illness and struggling to live alone in a state with very poor medical care. Most recently, a flareup of what we suspect to be MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) has worsened every other ailment and severely limited what my partner can safely eat, touch, and inhale without risk of anaphylaxis. 

This is scary for both of us. I’m in the process of trying to relocate, but my partner needs more support than can wait on me to find a remote job I can take with me. This GoFundMe is to help me afford to take time away from work (I do not get paid leave of any kind) and help get my partner stabilized with frozen meals and medical travel. 

What your donation will help me cover:

-travel expenses 

-food for me so I can avoid draining my partner’s supply of “safe” foods 

-loss of 3 weeks income as I take unpaid time away from work 

-more freedom to experiment with what my partner can safely tolerate; with MCAS, the only way to learn what is safe is through trial and error, as what is tolerated by one person may not be tolerated by another 

-any excess will go towards safe foods and other caretaking and accessibility needs

me trying to explain MYTH to my friends: it's like- okay so there's this island, and a book of fairy tales about a forest, but there is no forest and- well no its not just about fairy tales, it's about the human experience and love and- no you have to listen to it in order, it's important, it's a narrative. what? no it's not a book it's an album. the ending makes me ugly cry every time i hear it. no it's not SAD- well it is pretty sad but it's more bittersweet? it hits an emotional bell I guess is one way to put it. listen dude i know im not making much sense you just gotta listen to it. no you can't listen while playing a video game you'll miss important bits. yeah listening while drawing will work. guys just trust me i can't explain it you just gotta listen-

I saw an otter briefly hop on top of a babirusa at the zoo and when the stranger standing next to me heard my camera shutter click he turned to me with this look of immense relief, put his hand to his chest, and said in a dead serious tone “oh thank christ someone caught that on film”

isr*el has finally "agreed" to a ceasefire agreement. we'll see whether they'll actually abide by the terms, as history shows that the general trend of behaviour is that they agree and then continue to escalate and terrorise innocents in Gaza and Lebanon. but in this moment i'd like to share a few community funds. as well as donating to escape funds, please consider donating to these groups that shoulder the burden of rebuilding gaza's community.

1. The Sameer Project

provides shelter and support to high risk families, special needs children and adults and those with war injuries + chronic diseases.

--

2. Translating Falasteen x Sameer Project collaboration

provides food, water, diapers, milk and medical aid in support of various families in Gaza. These funds help continue to keep this project afloat and capable of providing for the families who depend on them.

--

3. The Zaynab Project

focused on providing food, water, cash aid, children's mental support and orphan sponsorship. They distribute winter clothing, hygiene kits, and free medical attention.

--

4. Merciful Hands Doctors

a donations-based clinic started by a Palestinian doctor living in Gaza in Sept 2024 to provide free medical attention those who need it.

[sablebrushwolf]

The ceasefire agreement was reached and joy is floating among the Palestinian people

Hey you know what sucks is predatory companies that make you enter your email address so that they can harass and advertise to you to access resources you might need to keep track of expenses after a disaster. So, uh, fuck them.

If you need to track the cost of things like hotel stays, pet kenneling, medical care, etc. after a disaster you can use this worksheet.

If you need to create an inventory of your home for an insurance claim (and if you'd like to do this to keep someplace safe before a disaster) you can use this worksheet (two pages, instructions on the first page, worksheet on the second).

And here's a FEMA document with numbers for disaster relief groups and a checklist of documents that you may need to have replaced as well as a description of what to do if you had cash in your home that was destroyed and can possibly be replaced.
