All you gotta do is spend a few years saving (never mind if there are any issues along the way) and then just do it! You know, that helpful piece of advice that people trot out when they’re frustrated with you or totally don’t understand what you’re going through! Travel the earth and become vulnerable! Then blog…

I am exhausted.

Oh no, kitty! Feel better soon, Miss Emily.

Ugh gross fuck off with that “femininity = respect” shit.

Edit: I can’t think right now, too hot.

Holy fuck, this.

Made me laugh even though I’m still feeling nauseous from reading about the bill.

I keep portmanteauing his name into Anselgort. Sounds like a terrible plant that’s used in vile herbal remedies.

Bribe the cats with treats?

Oh NO, that’s... I don’t know. I don’t have an adjective for it.

Well, I’d hope so.

AAAHHHH I’m usually okay with buggies but they had better not come to Oak Park!!!!!

I don’t believe anyone has ever made a movie about my hometown (Eastsound, WA), so I got nothin’.

Oh, NOAA. It doesn’t matter what you say, people gonna believe in mermaids anyway.

Oh no, this is too good. (I don’t know if I’d say “hammer and tongs” though, seems a little tame for that!)

I’ll look into that!

Thanks! I’ve been trying to stop a couple of not so great habits lately, so I’m hoping this means I’m making progress. My partner is being very supportive, although a little overbearing at times, haha.

I’ll probably try that. I’m thinking I’ll have to resign myself to a... less fancy phone though, sigh.

Haha, sluggish summer cats! I know them well. When it gets really hot at my parents’ place, the cats become flat puddles on the floor.

Oh no, I’m so sorry. :( Went through a similar-but-different thing with one of my family’s cats, it was so tough. Best wishes to both of you.
