Being a furry is weird. You get these hyper-specific fixations with certain body parts relating to your given species. For some it's wanting fuzzy paws, some it's having a befanged maw, others it's things like having digitigrade legs, or big anime eyes. For me it's the ears. I want those big fuzzy, floppy ears so badly. They're so cute.

It's such a strange issue to have, cos most likely nobody who's not a furry will have the first clue why it matters, or how that longing feels. And even among furries it's one that's specific to a certain subset of certain species of furry. Almost nobody else will appreciate why i want those ears so much, but i really do. The ugly little rigid mishmash of skin and cartilage stuck to the sides of human heads are so unsightly, i hate them.

I have an obsession (maybe that's a strong word to describe it) but with animals i always love the big floppy ears for some reason. I think they are cute and sometimes it is the texture of the fur on them. If it is silky smooth and soft I find it a comforting feeling. It is also why I rub the ears of my plushies to self sooth.

I think I would want cat ears and a tail.

The fact that my dad keeps insisting on plugging multiplugs into multiplugs. I keep telling him, "dad, that's how you start an electric fire", but he keeps hand-waving it away. He acts like i'm being so awkward for not wanting to burn the house down. Most parents, this interaction would be playing out in the exact opposite direction.

I just woke up so my brain was struggling to understand multi outlet, but I am pretty sure I know what you mean. Basically like a power strip you plug in what is normally a two section outlet to give you more outlets but he is plugging more strips into that? Yeah thats definitely how fires can start. Or your power or breakers kick.
 
So, I recently discovered this incredible art called cyanotype. It's beautiful and I want to try it. Maybe I could possibly even try making some items to sell as well. Problem is, getting all the materials I need. Granted I have found some affordable starter kits, but I thought of just trying this on some simple tote bags but, I still need money for it.

I asked mom the other day about me exchanging food I get on ebt for some cash I need for basic things I can't get otherwise. She never has said anything else about it. I bought her 90$ + of groceries last month and she didn't pay me the full 90$ back. Even my sister got pissed off at her because she can understand that isnt fair.
 
I really should try to get some rest, but I have to be up early anyways. If I go to sleep now, if I slept like last night, I will feel like crap and probably fall asleep again and not wake up until later and end up not hearing my alarms. I could drink some of the protein coffee mom gave me to help keep me alert plus I won't have to worry about it upsetting my stomach much later while I am out. Also, it tends to reduce my appetite which is great.

Besides I really need to try and work on a list this time since my sister won't be there to remind me of things 😅
 
as a patient of this known dental clinic in my country for 15 years, this is my first time to encounter terrible staff handling with clients.

Funny how as soon I as vented out with the main line, the branch is now communicating to me efficiently. Compared to before when they would make me wait for hours and days. Coincidence? I think not!
 
If you are shopping looking at something on the fuckibg opposite side of the aisle you went down, then fucking go to the side you are looking at because 1) you're blocking the fucking aisle and 2) it makes it difficult for others to go and look at things because you are being a fucking idiot. Do you not realize how stupid it is to be on the opposite side of the aisle with your buggy and looking at the other?😤
 
Shopping for a full month of food because you only go out once a month is exhausting.
Carrying it up your f*cked up drive way/hill with supper slippery moss is hell.
Struggling to get in your f*cked up broke ass door where your cats knocked something in front of it preventing you from getting in is a b*tch.
Dealing the the pharmacy and advocating for your prescription meds that they screwed up during the merge is frustrating. (But hey, I finally got the meds I needed. I had a stern tone when she asked me a question but I was not rude or hateful and she acted like I was. I wasn't trying to be a bitch I was just trying to explain how they f*cked up so I could get my medication, thank you very much. I get it. Sh*t happens that is okay. But don't think I won't demand a mistake or more to be corrected. Still didn't get my vit D but I got what was most important. come to find out, they said I was given a 3 month supply for one of them. No I was given a 1 month and was owed 2 more months and they gave me my 2 months.)

Dealing with the new asshole of a PO just because mine was not there again despite us scheduling for today (mind you this is the 1st and only asshole of a PO that I have dealt with. Everyone else is phenomenal and I couldnt be more grateful for the kindness, compassion and support I have received from them. Not only have the ones I have had the pleasure of getting to know and see, been completely accepting of my transness and pronouns, they are true allies. They hear me. They see me. They support me and they acknowledge me with respect and kindness.) But this one guy is a douche bag. Very rude, talks down to me, looks at me with disdain. One PO is one I have known for a while and was there for me when I chose to go to the hospital. He understands my full situation with everything. When I was getting ready to leave I stood up, took one step towards them with my hand extended for a handshake. I did not get close, i had at least 1 1/2 ft between us if nit more and I leaned towards them. The asshole looked at me, backed up, put his hand up to wave me off. But I didn't budge until he took my hand and shook it. The other PO just grinned ear to ear and had his hand extended waiting for mine. I am a respectful person. You can treat me like shit and I will still be the kindest person to you regardless. Do not look down on me or any other person who is on probation. They are human beings and despite the mistakes and problems they are in, they deserve basic human decency. They deserve respect. Everyone deserves respect. It is disrespect that is earned. Do not judge us just for being on probation.)
 
Just because you do not understand other cultures and some of their traditions that they either used to have or still follow in some areas, does not mean you can be rude and disrespectful about them. I don't care if it seems odd and unusual to you. You do not straight up call it "stupid", "weird" or "fucked up". It is there culture. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean you need to be disrespectful for it.

My old doctor practice has refused to give me an extension for my medication because my provider has left the practice and am trying to get my medical records transferred. Except they have not sent the records to the new doctor and I can’t see the new doctor because the medical records have not been sent. I’m going to have to bitch at them on Monday. I still have an appointment for the old practice-a new provider-in case I need someone. Boy this feels like a rat race.
 
So the Pulse Memorial's rainbow crosswalk in Orlando, Florida was painted over black in the middle of the night. That cross walk memorial honored 49 people who were fatally shot by a hateful human being back in 2016. The state chose to paint over it, when oddly the state was the reason it was installed in 2017. That is a desecration to the victims who lost their lives that night. Erasing something that does absolutely no harm to anyone and is there as a memorial is an act of hatred and denial.

I am proud of those who chose to go out with sidewalk chalk to put the color back in it. To the imbeciles claiming that that is vandalism, it isn't permanent, sadly. It can fade and wash away. It is not vandalism. It is a bold and courageous act of resilience against hatred and bigotry. What is vandalism is desecrating a memorial.

Not to question your experiences but I feel like anyone with a pet could at least understand the cuteness of floppy ears. If you're ever in the unfortunate position to explain such a thing to a normie, you could start with that.

This is gonna sound mean but if it's not your house, I'd say just let him figure it out on his own if he isn't gonna listen to you. Don't let him burn obviously but some people need to hear "I told you so" every once and awhile.

This is mostly unrelated to the message you sent but thanks for reminding me to watch Ginormo already lol. Been meaning to watch it but never got around to it.

I'd be lying if i said i don't sometimes daydream about having an "i told you so" moment over it. Problem is though, i already lost one parent in a tragic accident when i was 10. And like i'd suspect a lot of people who've been through that would be, i'm quite paranoid about losing him the same way. I want one of my parents to live long enough to die of natural causes, i can accept it if it at least feels like it's just his time when he goes. And he terrifies me in that regard.

He spends most of his free time playing with power tools, or felling huge trees, or fixing up his chainsaws. He's constantly got cuts, bruises, and burns. He drives for hours in conditions i'd never go anywhere near, even if i wasn't afraid of driving to begin with thanks to mum. When it's cold, he has a wood fire every night. I've lost track of the number of times i've seen them spit red hot embers onto the rug. He's 70, and on beta blockers, but he goes out without a mask on and brings back all kinds of bugs (he does regularly get his COVID shots at least though.) And then there's this thing with the multiplugs, the one thing every expert tells you not to do with them. It's like he's tempting fate.
