#more than likely it’s a possum

cleaning the backyard and found broken eggs. now either it’s a possum stealing them or one of my dumb hens is deciding to lay her eggs behind the coop in the tall grass.

while a nightmare on elm street 2 is very clearly about the fears associated with being closeted, i do love that freddy as an explicit metaphor for/manifestation of trauma narrative is still present. with freddy possessing jesse it feels so evocative of the cycle of abuse and how survivors can be terrified of perpetuating the harm they faced and hurting others

you know what, one of the biggest problems rsd causes in my everyday life is that it makes me incapable of predicting how other people will respond to criticism.

like, i'm an editor. my job is writing constructive feedback. but i also have rsd, so i have an intense emotional reaction whenever i receive feedback, no matter how well-meant or carefully worded it is. which is something i've been working on! hard! in my own life! and i'm maybe a little bit better at it--those reactions dont go away (because of fucking course they don't, can nothing ever be easy) but i'm better at just fuckin. riding them out and coming back to whatever i was working on once the Devastating Shame And Sorrow has run its course. HOWEVER. there are Two Big Problems here wrt my Job, which are as follows:

I do not have an accurate internal barometer for What Will Make My Client Feel Bad in terms of criticism, because Everything Makes Me Feel Bad. it feels like i should be able to trust my instincts but my instincts are the enemy of concise feedback because they read any comment i leave on the work and go "oh no that will make him feel bad enough to disengage with the work entirely, you need to add a full paragraph of explanation in order to circumvent that. I'm working on it, i think i'm getting there, but it's something that feels like it should be automatic and it's fuckin annoying that it isnt.

There Are Other People With RSD In The World And Some Of Them Need Their Papers Edited. i know this for a fact, so i am feel even more Adrift when trying to find the right tone for my comments, because i simply Don't Know whether i should be writing for a Normal Person with a Normal Threshold For Criticism or a person more like me (but not enough like me for that to be simple, bc everyone's rsd manifests in different ways and is triggered by different things.)

and both of those things. make my life. so much harder

not sure what's happening lately but maybe something in the cosmos... lots of us are stuck fully nonhuman in headspace when we're usually able to choose (or only partially have animal features), and those of us that were already fully nonhuman are pulled to the front more easily and/or fighting towards the front more frequently/persistently. i'm not sure what the cause is but it's making a lot of stuff harder

heard noises on my front porch and investigated. it was a possum who i recognise from previous interactions. he was drinking from the pet water bowl. was about to scare him off when it occurred to me i don't have a dog anymore so technically he can hang out on my porch anytime. at what point do i admit this guy is my fourth cat.

really is nothing quite like learning the possums in your area are brave enough to try to turn and hiss at your dog instead of playing dead at the sight of them

me when i'm able to find decent references for women's fantasy outfits/armor (<- i had to scroll through multiple pages of softcore porn for this)

Not me waking up at 11:30 instead of 1pm and feeling like my whole life is changed and everything is gonna be okay and I can do this actually lmao

I wonder if Mario Puzo contractually demanded that the movie included at least one reference to the fact that Sonny has a huge dick considering how much he insists on it in the book, this man really wanted everyone to know that this particular character is packing a real monster cock
