I was working on something that’s been in my drafts for a couple months now when I noticed my washing machine leaking. GUESS WHO HAS TO REPLACE THE RUBBER DOOR SEAL? Whoever designed front load washing machines is an imbecile when top load already exists.
This washing machine came with the house when I bought it so I do have my old washer/dryer set in the carport but the problem is I don’t have the man power to move them.
BUY A HOUSE THEY SAID. IT’LL BE FUN THEY SAID. 😭

How to convince my Balkan mother who thinks that cats should be kept outside to let me keep our (fully vaccinated, neutered, that she agreed to let us keep as long as we can take care of him) cat indoors so he can stop fighting with street cats, no borax no glue?
#seriously ive tried to explain to het that cats should be kept indoors but she just says its an animal and cats have germs inherently#and that women especially have to stay away from them because they affect fertility or whatever that rumor is#seriously he came back home two days ago with like a horrible scar on his side which i think he got from fighting and im so worried if he#goes outside again it might get infected and i love him a lot and i dont want to be an irresponsible owner and let him out where he can get#injured or killed. i cut down the hair around the wound and cleaned it a bit with sterile cotton and some rubbing alcohol#and he doesn't seem to be in pain and hes not bleeding but im so worried because it still looks pretty bad#we live in a pretty wooded area. kind of a village so there is a couple stray cats here and there. our boy was one before we picked him up#so my mom says that it's more natural to let the cat outside. but im still so worried about him and ive read a lot of stuff about how#outdoor cats are more prone to injury and disease and all that stuff.#dont missunderstand. my mom is really good. she just doesn't think cats should stay indoors and it makes me worry for our cat a lot#personal stuff#outdoor cats#she also has a problem with the cat being indoors because he sheds fur a lot and its just everwhere when you clean. which. fair.

"there are no bad dogs, just bad owners uwu" so youre just admitting youre a bad owner then...........
#dog people be like ''omggg we should totally get a large sized dog and put it into a tiny ass home with no backyard and never walk it#and let it bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and bark and b#what do you mean im a bad owner i love my furbaby i would never abuse her''#the problem is you keep assuming abuse is the same thing as hating or hitting#if you do not train your dog that is abuse. if you get a dog without a lifestyle to support your dogs needs that is abuse#dogs are truly f-tier animals and dog people are even worse and im tired of pretending otherwise

my one complaint about this cat is that he licks himself so Wetly. it's audible. the sound is like a toothless old man going to town on a bowl of chili, no utensils. and then he is Damp for several minutes afterwards. you wanted to pet this cat with your nice clean dry hands? too late, they're covered in cat spit now and you are petting him wethands style whether you like it or not.
basically:
>looking for a new cat
>ask the cat shelter employee if their cat is creepy or wet
>she doesnt understand |pull out illustrated diagram explaing what is creepy and what is wet
>she laughs and says "its a good cat sir"
>adopt a cat
>it's wet
#eliot posts#vincent the cat#except in reality the shelter employee (or shelter owner?) was kinda saying the opposite of it's a good cat sir#she was like yeah this cat has Problems are you sure ur willing and able to deal w that?#and then i took him home and he doesn't have much Problems#the only warning she was right about was that lil man HATES being picked up#otherwise he is very friendly and affectionate and comfortable w humans#and when you do upset him he just runs away he doesn't swat or nip or hiss#he's Very Polite

busted my lip on a dogs face today <3
#shes the kind of dog that bolts when you open the kennel door so i have to step inside her kennel when putting a leash on her#but the problem with that is shes also a chronic jumper#and shes like a shepherd mix of sorts so shes hugongous#while i was fixing the leash to put it on her she jumped on me and shoved her nose into my lip and made me hit my head on the kennel door#luckily i didnt hit my head that hard but she did make my lip bleed lmfao#she went home like 10 minutes after i walked her which means i hypothetically couldve just left her alone#and let her owners walk her after they picked her up#but i went no <3 ill get her just in case they take a while <3 shes a menace but shes not that bad <3#she is; in fact; that bad#simon says

absolutely ate shit today restraining my damn dog from going after a cat that wandered into our backyard. for fuck's sake keep your cats indoors or at the very least WATCH them
#crazy to me that people let their cats wander around in a place with coyotes#we're staying in a temporary place bc our house flooded and I have to stay home with the dog#I've never had this problem before bc my normal neighborhood doesn't have many cat owners#plus our fence is iron aka not very walkable for cats.#being trapped in the house with the dog...feels like the fuckin yellow wallpaper. I'm going insane

The Evil Poogrid Company on Planet Harsh Shows No Mercy!
Latest News: Homes on Planet Harsh With Solar Panels Will Now Be Penalised By The Evil Poogrid Company.
Imagine a hypothetical scenario set on a fictional planet called 'Harsh' and an island nation called 'New Southland,' where residents are facing dire economic conditions with soaring electricity costs, high unemployment, homelessness, and an inability to meet mortgage payments.
Families are struggling to afford basic necessities, leading to increased stress, mental health issues, and strained relationships.
Amidst this crisis, imagine there is a company called PooGrid, the largest electricity distributor on Planet Harsh, which is majority-owned by the New Southland government.
PooGrid plans to penalize homeowners with solar flare energy capturing panels by charging them 1.38 carrots per flarewatt-hour (fWh) for electricity exported from their homes between 11:01 am and 4:01 pm.
Imagine for a moment how this pricing structure disproportionately affects households relying on solar flare capture energy to offset the high cost of living, and it is unfair to impose such charges during challenging financial times.
Many homeowners would have invested in solar flare energy capturing panels in good faith, expecting long-term benefits, and the planned charges place an undue burden on those who cannot afford energy storage systems.
Imagine the backlash from inhabitants of Planet Harsh, the rulers of this planet would face constant negativity, poor and struggling families would be begging the New Southland government to reconsider this decision, as it goes against the principle of "not kicking people when they are down."
Instead of exacerbating financial hardships, the New Southland government should support efforts to ease the strain on households, such as through financial assistance, subsidies, or job creation programs.
Imposing additional costs or austerity measures during harsh economic times would be insensitive and tone-deaf, potentially eroding public trust and confidence in leadership.
This type of situation would encourage citizens to voice their concerns to political representatives and the media if such decisions were to be happen.
One thing for sure, we would never want such a situation to happen on Planet Earth, Australia or the once great state of New South Wales.
Ultimately, compassion, empathy, and care from planet rulers and governments is needed during tough economic periods, rather than imposing additional burdens on struggling citizens.
Planet Rulers should heed the wisdom of "not kicking people when they are down," they should foster a more supportive environment for their constituents during the toughest times of their lives if they wish to remain Planet Rulers beyond the next election.

This last month has been wild. Birds. Bees. More destructive birds.
I'm guessing *rolls dice* bats in the attic next.
#never heard a sound#stealth infiltration during working hours only apparently#guess the previous owners had a problem with starlings and this was a previously patched hole#i think the best course of action is waiting until nesting season is over then patch the hole and install a nesting box over it#home sweet home

PRETTY KITTY TURNS PRETTY HORNY .ᐟ FT SATORU GOJO
synopsis - finally you decided to adopt a new friend at the adoption centre! only, he wants to be more that friends…
warnings - p in v, brief oral sex (fem receiving) unprotected sex, slight manipulation(?) creampie, shitty smut, petname: master used mockingly, not thoroughly proofread, talk of potential children, lowk masochist gojo, ect ect. fem reader
notes - yay I finally got this out! lol it honestly did get a bit sloppy at the end but I wanted to get this out b4 christmas!enjoy! the smut is lowkey short but I don’t want to fix it..
edit - I just realised I posted this on his death date
Phew, you did it.
You finally grew a pair and adopted a newly rescued snow-leopard hybrid! After months of your self-pitying you managed to convince yourself to adopt a friend!
You spent many, many hours contemplating on whether to actually adopt. And many hours more watching sad videos on hybrids, how mistreated they are out of the adoption centre.
That was more than enough to convince you.
Now you have an exotic hybrid of your own! And he’s just the cutest little—er big thing! He’s got fluffy little ears, a handsome face, striking blue eyes, and the fluffiest tail in the world!
You’ve learnt a lot about him. His name is Satoru Gojo, around the same age as you! Unfortunately, he spent a lot of his life in illegal fighting rings. Poor thing almost got killed a while back. Luckily, his caretakers at the agency have had no aggression problems with him! He’s affectionate, friendly, reckless at times, but overall great to have as a first time owner!
He’s really—really big. His head just about reaches the ceiling of your small apartment. It's gonna be hard finding clothes for the man. Let alone a bed.
But that’s all a problem for future you!
Packing him in the car was a hefty thing, his tallness being the main problem, a little cramped (he had to lay half his body on the floor) but it worked in the end!
As soon as you bought the little—uh, big critter home, you pampered him with affections. Petting his head, rubbing his ears, scratching under his chin all that stuff that makes him mushy in the brain!
The only problem would be leaving him alone… he’s fairly clingy. You’ll just have to work on that. He seems capable enough. Hopefully…
Note to self: get a baby cam.
˗ˏˋ — ˎˊ˗
Maybe this was a mistake.
Satoru’s a really good guy, he’s friendly, definitely affectionate and really clingy. All good qualities that you love about him!
But, there are qualities you come to… dislike, so to say.
He’s bratty. defiant against your house rules, a back-talker.
He always wants attention. Pushing things off counters or using his tail to block your eyes whenever he wants to annoy you.
He’s very manipulative. Using his wide eyes to trick you—or anyone—into giving him sweets!
He’s also unbearably horny, probably his worst trait. Always trying to rub against you, heck even mount you! For someone so angelic-looking, he sure ain’t an angel.
And you can name a couple of… embarrassing incidents.
Incident #1
“Hey—Toru! What are you doing, stop that!” You shout, trying to push him back and away from— wait, are those your panties he has in your mouth!
“Satoru! Bad boy, get those out of your mouth!” You splutter, face flushing red.
But, apparently you adopted the devil.
He tilts his head in an innocent way, ears flopping to the side as he deviously munches on your precious—and very expensive—underwear.
You try to wrestle them away from his maw, unlucky for you, you’ve also adopted an abnormally tall hybrid. His innocent act drops as he dangles them above your head, laughing at your embarrassment.
Of course, he gave it back. Not without it slicked in his spit and now turned crotchless.
It was… not a great moment for you or your hopes of being dominant over him.
Incident #2
It’s a nice sunny morning, you got up earlier than your alarm, made a nice breakfast, and finally got that darned work assignment finished.
A peaceful day.
Until your precious kitty takes his biting urges on you.
“Satoru, do-don’t bite meee!” You whine, once again trying to push away the snarky beast. God, why must he be twice your size.
He chuffs, pining you with his weight as he nibbles at your skin. Tail swaying mischievously behind him.
“Mn—be still, lemme jus’…” He whispers. Devious man he is. His nibbling becomes full-blown bites, decorating your neck and collarbone in a bazillion bite marks.
Satoru only giggles at your pathetic attempts of squirming away. Pfft, you think he’ll let you walk away? Nothing gets away from his keen eyes.
Needless to say, the bite marks were not a fashion statement at work. Didn’t really capture as many complements as it did laughter.
Note to self: Invest in a muzzle.
Incident #3
Now, maybe this is your fault. You did notice the change in behaviour, he’s always been clingy— the staff at the agency did say he was… the possessive type. But! You didn’t notice the possessiveness until now! So it’s not entirely your fault.
Okay, maybe his growling at your friend— male, should you note— was a teensy red flag, the constant butting of his head against you was also alerting you. So you maybe-sorta-should’ve predicted this.
Maybe if you realised that Satoru is not entirely human (even though he acts like it), you would’ve remembered he has an amazing sense of smell.
“aaahnn… mornin’ Toru’, how did you sleep hm?” you yawn. The lack of response is unnerving, and rude.
“Hey now, ts’ not nice to ignore me, Satoru.” Again silence, wait—what the-?
“Oof! Satoru—gah!—get off!” You struggle, your overgrown hybrid kitty has decided to pounce on you, his full weight crushing you.
“H-hey—oh!” Did.. did you feel that correctly, is your boy.. oh gosh.
“Mrrow…mn, you smell s’ good.” His breath is hot against your neck, sniffing at your throat, his fuzzy ears rubbing under your chin.
“Mnh—heat, in heat? mrr..” He purrs, big hands encasing yours as the big idiot rocks his hips against your backside— oh my.
“H-huh? No, down Satoru! Bad boy—ooh!—don-don’t!” You try not to moan out as he ruts against you. Licking at the nape of your neck, almost mockingly.
“Heh— shh, I’ll take care of ya. Aw’ you’re so small compared to me..” Satoru breathes, chuckling like he always does.
…
Lets just say, Satoru has become real good friends with the spray bottle.
Note to self: Get him neutered.
˗ˏˋ — ˎˊ˗
And there are way more incidents as… sexual as these ones. You love the big guy, he’s cuddly, got a fuzzy head, really warm, but he seems to really enjoy mounting you. Like, really badly.
He’s become a menace! I mean, you knew he wasn’t neutered, but you didn’t think he’d be interested in you!
It's almost everyday he tries to get in your pants! Gotta hand it to him, he’s really persistent.
Well, you won’t be taking any of his nonsense today!
“Satoru! Breakfast!” You yell out. You hear him scurrying around the corner, jeez food fein.
“Heh, mm waffles..” He purrs at your feet, nuzzling against the back of your knee.
He wraps his tail around your ankle, hands gently kneading at your leg. Nose twitching at the sugary smells.
“You hungry, sweetie?” You coo, petting the big oafs head.
Awh, maybe you’re being too harsh on him. He’s your baby, he doesn’t know any better!
˗ˏˋ — ˎˊ˗
Oh who were you kidding, of course he knows what he’s doing! Why are you so gullible?
What was supposed to be a nice, calm, peaceful, non-sexual breakfast, ends up with your mischievous kitty munching on your pussy instead!
He’s got your legs up, knees having small-talk to your shoulders whilst he —quite literally— devours you.
“Satoruuu!— don’t do thaah! Oh!” You squeak. You weakly push on his head, trying to get him away from your front.
Unfortunately, Satoru is a determined cat.
“Mnn, be still. M’ hungry.” He purrs between your legs, the vibrations of his voice send tingles up your spine.
For Satoru, that delicious nectar leaking out of you is heavenly. Until this thin, pathetic piece of fabric ruins his meal. If only he could just…
rripp!
“H-huh? S’toru! Those were expensiveee— haa!” You scold. well, try to. It’s hard to speak when you’re literally breathless.
He tongues at your now naked pussy, slurping all that gooey goodness you so graciously produce. So sweet.
He pulls back, your cunt and his mouth connected by a sloppy string of spit. He coo’s and presses a kiss hard against your clit, making you twitch and moan.
Out of the corner of your eye you see the devil incarnate smiling so sweetly, his tail curling around your ankle. What was once a sweet gesture is now no longer reassuring.
Your ‘innocent’ kitty now has free rein to your more… primal parts. The stronger scent pulls on Satoru’s will, he whines at the sudden, yet aggressive urge to bury himself inside you.
Hmm maybe he should.
Hoisting himself up, Satoru leans back on his calves, admiring the little mess he’s made of you. Flushed red, panting, drooling, and completely high on the pleasure. His pants tighten.
He’s been blessed with such a cute owner!
˗ˏˋ — ˎˊ˗
Plap! Plap! Plap!
“Haa— d’aww don’t be so shy, master. Heh—fhuck!” Said the devil incarnate, mockingly.
Satoru is a condescending bunch, cute but really full of himself. It’s shows in his way of fucking.
He has you on your back, legs resting on his broad shoulders as he literally folds you in half. Your head is just reeling, your face is covered in his spit, hairline all sweaty, jaw hanging open, and you're burning all over!
His cock is big, too big. It nearly split you in half when he tried to fit it in. He’s never been a patient kitty.
“Awhhh— masterrrr, you’re tightenin’ up sho’ muchhh…” He purrs. Tail swaying mockingly.
Leaning forward, Satoru nuzzles his ears against your cheek, wanting to be pet.
Unfortunately, you’re incoherent to his requests. Too focused on the harsh rutting of his cock into your sticky cunt.
“Heyyy… pet meee,” He whines, “Hm? Heh— tappin’ out already?” His eyes gleam with mischievous-ness as he grins a toothy grin. You’re not gonna make it out alive.
He bites his lip, giggling at your pleasured face. If only he could take a picture, save this moment forever. He cups your face, caressing your sweaty cheeks, then presses a loving kiss to your lips.
“Mwah! Hehe— you’re so cute,” He whispers against your lips.
In midst of this somewhat sweet moment, the pace of Satoru rolling his hips against you increases. Then turning into him full on slamming his hips into yours, huffing as he focuses on pounding you into next week.
All you can do is grip onto him, tugging on his ears. He moans pornographically, drooling as you harshly grip his sensitive ears. The painful yet pleasant sensation sparks something new in Satoru.
With the intent to breed, Satoru turns you over. His chest to your back as he leans his weight on you, arms wrapping tightly around your sweaty skin.
This new position gives Satoru a better chance at giving you some cute mini him’s!
“Oh! Oh!—Toruuu’!” You squeal, tears now brimming in your eyes at the overwhelming feeling that is undoubtedly him.
Without warning, you cum. Hole clenching and spasming and coating his lower body in a translucent liquid.
“Hm—hah— I knew you wan—ahn—wanted me!” He mewls, quickly pounding in and out, creating a wet ‘schlick!’ sound.
Oh you’re so perverted! Letting your precious kitty take you like this!
You’ll never live this down.
Satoru doesn’t seem to care.
“Oooh— m’ cumming, nng— masterrr!” He moans, non-stop humping into your creamy pussy, drooling all over you.
“Not—not insideee! Toru’!” You cry out, pushing your hips back to get him off of you, it does the opposite.
His tail wraps around your thigh as he cums. It splurts frantically inside of you, his cock twitching violently as he whines in pleasure.
It’s hot, sticky and definitely a thick load. It feels endless, liquidy rope after rope. But it feels so refreshing.
He pulls out (you didn’t think he would), nuzzling and purring at the nape of your neck. Innocently licking at your tear-stricken cheeks.
…
It’s been so long since you last experienced this pleasure.
You’ll definitely regret this later.
˗ˏˋ — ˎˊ˗
Oh god, why did you do that!
Having sex with a hybrid is just a different type of low, even for you!
Oh jeez, you're just as perverted as him! Oh whywhywhywhy! He was just supposed to be a companion! Not a—
“Mrr, pet meee..” Satoru whines, pawning at your chest. He’s back to his old self again.
Mostly. He’s become more… confident in his abilities over you. Let’s just say after your regrettable (not in his eyes) playtime with him, he has no restraint on mounting you now. The idiots even started humping you in public!
Which is why you’ve been leaving him at home.
Now more than ever, you two spend a lot of time together. Mostly consisting of naps, him licking you, more naps, eating… recreational activities, blah blah blah. He now sleeps on your bed, he’s more like an overstayed one night stand than an exotic cat.
At Least he’s extra cuddly!

When deciding who to work for there is a sliding scale of employers that goes from lil mom and pop shops up to corporate monoliths. I have worked at both ends of the spectrum and I can pretty definitively say that tiny businesses are hands down the most insane employers.
The sweet spot is a place that has like 10-20 stores; that’s the best possible work environment. They’ll be polished enough to have protocols that make work structured, but not so bogged down with bureaucracy that nothing can ever get done.
This story is not from that sweet spot. This story is from my time working at Oil and Vinegar. Now, like many little franchise stores, the idea was solid. There was on tap imported olive oil and vinegar and it was really delicious. Top shelf. Unfortunately, each location was like the Wild West because owners varied wildly.
My owner was the human embodiment of Mr. Krabbs. His eyes were just constant dollar signs. Throughout my training he informed me of the price of every single piece of equipment I touched and how much it cost to replace it.
He had cameras set up to watch us, and an app on his phone to access the live feed. He’d call us to ask what we were doing when he’d just checked a camera to make sure we were being honest.
Now, the trouble was he had two locations. His location further south did amazing. It was way more centrally located and got three times the foot traffic. The one I worked in was in the snottiest mall possible in Arizona and consequently the rent was through the roof.
It was not going well for my store. We didn’t get as much traffic, so there was only so much I could do in a day. I could dust, sweep, and wait for customers. I read a lot and was frank when he called to interrogate me. I always asked for additional tasks but he never had any. What could I do to prop up a failing business?
But this man was convinced there was some Secret Reason that the store I was in was doing worse. He crunched numbers, looked at staff, and eventually hit upon the most insane possible solution.
We used too much toilet paper.
We were probably stealing toilet paper! Bleeding him dry one single ply square at a time! How dare we need to use the bathroom?! His south location used half as much toilet paper as we did, we must be thieving little monsters!!!!
Friends. The south location was populated entirely by men. My location had three people on staff who had to sit to pee. It was so blindly transparently the source of the discrepancy but this man was convinced we were making off with toilet paper to bankrupt him.
So he implemented what he believed to be an entirely reasonable response to this base treachery. We were allowed to have one roll of toilet paper. At any given time, one roll was permitted to us. This was so transparently unhinged that we protested but he insisted. If we were low on toilet paper we needed to call him to drop off a roll that he brought from his home. Smiling jovially, he assured us he lived so close by that it would be no problem!
When we needed to call him often for more he started tearing his hair out. What were we using toilet paper for?! Why wasn’t his genius plan to stop our scandalous waste working??!
Finally, the manager, the only man on staff had to pull the owner aside and be like, “Look, man, their bladders are smaller. They need to wipe every time they pee. They need to pee even more on their period. Is this really the hill you want to die on?”
Yes. It was. The manager was fired unrelated reasons and denounced as a traitor. The toilet paper ration lasted until I quit and probably until the store closed six months later.

Don't suppose there's any elderly homeowners out there who'd like to leave me a house in their will?
#I hate renting#every time I get anywhere CLOSE to saving up enough to even THINK about applying for a home loan#the cost of houses goes up AGAIN#all the cheap places keep getting snatched up by the local realtor#and I'm constantly scared I'll get kicked out of this place cause#whenever it comes time to renew my lease they're all#oh you'll be staying absolutely no problem#but then spring a surprise inspection on me where they say the owner has been thinking about selling for the last two years#then renew my lease anyway and act like I should be grateful I get to stay and my rent only went up by another fifty bucks#ARGH#complaining about life ignore me
