if you're in your 20s just remember that you're in your 20s and being in your 20s is like being anywhere between 20-29

missing someone is crazy because you’ll have dreams that r like “we went on a nice walk together :)” and you’ll wake up feeling like you’re gonna throw up

one time I had a dream that I unlocked a secret never-before-discovered achievement in Disco Elysium by squeezing into various nooks and crannies and got a special copotype called “Crevice Cop: seek out and inhabit crevices like some kind of man-spider” and I thought yeah!!! man-spider!!! crevice cop!!! this game GETS me!!!
and then I woke up to find that I had fallen partially down into the gap between my partner’s bed and the wall and was horrifically contorted and in agonizing bodily pain from sleeping in a position only comfortable to a brown recluse

Day 21 of my 2024 favorites: a stunning (and very large) Tunneling Teddy Bear, rabbit botfly (Cuterebra buccata)
Lots of flies have a bit of a macabre life cycle and botflies certainly fall in that category, but this is a truly magnificent creature all the same. 🖤

a wild thing about mcas is I have to troubleshoot every part of my life like for example my electrolyte drinks gave my anaphylaxis so I had to switch to pure distilled water but also all my reusable water bottles had caps that were hard to clean (plastic with a lot of little crevices, bamboo with rubber rings that stuff could get under, etc) and might harbor mold so I had to switch to drinking solely out of glass cups with single piece molded silicone lids that can be fully sanitized in the domesticated autoclave (dishwasher)

this is it from here on out, babey
#mcas#seriously it's so fucking hard trying to figure this stuff out when you react to so many different things

If there’s anything I’ve learned in life it’s that being confident and having self respect will sometimes evoke some of the most irrational obsessive hatred and anger in other people. Particularly if you’re perceived as someone who doesn’t “deserve” to feel that way about yourself there’s a very specific type of anger that comes from people who can’t understand why someone who they think should hate themselves doesn’t
