I am very sick ( I am making a twice pinboard and sobbing again )

I hate how much the cost of everything has increased. But you know what the worst one is?

Veterinary costs.

I have two big girls

This is Nienna and Turin.

Respectively they are a runt Great Pyrenees/Newfoundland mix and a lovely husky/border collie mutt with brain damage.

Nienna has been limping lately and drinking too much water. We called up a local vet (we live on 2.5 acres in a rural area) to get a quote on her getting checked out and treated.

You know how much it would be?

$1200+ just for diagnostics

And we can't afford that. That's a third of our mortgage. That's car repair money. That's almost a dozen grocery runs. That's more than half of one of my paychecks.

We got these girls almost a decade ago now. I remember taking them in to get shots and fixed and forking over $300 each and being done. And less than a decade later I'll need to fork over 4X that much just to be told she likely needs something else we can't afford.

This isn't a donation post. I don't want others stretched thin to be giving me money for my dog. That's not my goal here.

Why aren't we allowed to own animals anymore? Why do the rich get to treat their animals and I get to watch my baby suffer?

Why are they exploiting my love for my girls for money?

More high lesbian antics involving food

Forget about torturing your blorbos, putting them through the wringer. I'm putting my blorbo in perfectly ordinary, pleasant situations. Their tortured personality will cause them anguish anyway, making an absolutely mundane scene into the most dramatic, agony filled affair as though the world is ending and it's all their fault

I was at a bookstore looking through the art section and I saw a spine that said The Camden Town Nudes which was interesting because this didn’t seem like the bookstore where I would ever find something like that and I wanted to have a casual look but like. This also wasn’t exactly the bookstore where you felt like you could look at naked pictures let alone just suggestive paintings of them, it’s a really small shop as well, so I was like right I’ll just take a quick peek, I’m an art student, I love history, maybe I’ll buy it. I looked both ways and saw the shopkeep had left momentarily and no one was about, so I opened it and found it was an entire book featuring nude Edwardian women all painted by Walter Sickert between 1905-1912 and it was actually quite a revolutionary set of paintings for its time given that it featured very raw depictions of working class nude women in dark London instead of the elegant, white bedsheet clad, Demure middle and upper class women usually depicted.

And of course RIGHT as I flip to this lady’s boobs practically taking up an entire double page spread, every customer in a 5 mile radius appeared from around the corners of the shelf including the shopkeep and immediately regressing to a wet, pathetic Edwardian man from 1908, startled, I dropped the large book which caused a giant SLAP on the floor in this already silent store thus causing all patrons to look down at me scrambling on my knees to close a giant book of Edwardian boobs and let me tell you it would not have been nearly as funny had I not immediately felt like some Edwardian local pervert who just tried to sneak a cheeky peek at the erotic book in the bookstore only to drop it dramatically causing a scene, red up to his ears trying to shove it back on the shelf. Like such a casual and normal thing in modern day but looking at Edwardian women suddenly turned it into this egregious act as I apparently became possessed by the spirit of a moustached man in a bowler hat and morning coat going Good Heavens I mustn’t gaze upon these images in public lest the constable haul me away!

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

[all-the-bones-ever]

this hit me like a truck

[archi-pelago]

maybe never forgive. but things are different now. so we'll use maybe.

[amygdalae]

we're having sex and you pull out at the end to discover your cock is entirely gone, dissolved (ive digested it like a pitcher plant). bye!

everything is a transgender allegory except being transgender which is about being alive
