losing my shit

i have always been a messy/cluttered person at home (my desk at work is generally always very tidy). i understand that the messy life makes losing things easier. i know that i have been messy all of my life, but it's only in the last year or two that i've started losing and forgetting things consistently. i used to have an iron vault for a memory, and while my long term memory is still pretty fucking stellar, my short term memory has gone to shit; i ask someone a question and forget their answer 20 seconds later. i'm losing things i cherish, including a necklace from alex that he gave me for xmas 2015. i'm trying meditation and pretty much anything else i can utilize, besides a psychic (insert mouth fart noise here), to try and find all my lost items. i know the first step in remembering where something is is to stay calm. which, i was at first and then that calmness turned into a manic episode of tearing my place apart. (lithium don't fail me now!) i'm fairly certain that adult onset ADD has something to do with this, but my psych is hesitant to give me that diagnosis. (we've also been spending much more time getting my depression under control, which i think is more important. and i also feel fairly confident that the ADD isn't the main contributor to my depression, though i'm sure it has a pinch to do with it.) hopefully we can discuss this more now that my crippling depression has had a turn for the better. i haven't posted on here in awhile and it feels good to have somewhere to talk my frustrations out. i need to remember to come back and use this space for that more often. (and if people want to read about my problems, more power to them! if you can't relate, no biggie! schadenfreude is one of my fave things in the world, even when it's my misfortune.) i think i'm going to try the meditation thing more earnestly and see where that gets me. but for tonight, it's a little reading and then passing out to the sleep to strange podcast or maybe plain ol sleep with me.

All bodies deserve to have their basic needs met. You can help.

Hey, you. Do you believe that everyone deserves to have their basic human needs met? Think social services should be accessible to people of all bodies? Of course you do. Put your tampons where your mouth is, or something, because it’s almost time for the BODY BASICS DRIVE.

The Sissy Collective* is holding a drive for stuff like tampons, pads, condoms, underwear, bras, hair ties — stuff that might get overlooked in a more general drive, but are totally basic-need items for a lot of folks. Said items will then be distributed to DESC, Lambert House, North Helpline Food Bank, and Mary’s Place.

See the full list of things they need on the drive’s Facebook event. AND RSVP SO YOU DO NOT FORGET TO GIVE TO THIS VERY IMPORTANT THING.

Between July 15 and 31, you can drop off yr items at any of the following locations:

Analog Coffee (235 Summit Ave E)

Community Fitness Roosevelt (2113 NE 65th St)

Hollow Earth Radio (2018 E Union St)

20/20 Cycle (2020 E Union St)

Patty Pan Cooperative (15550 27th Ave NE, Shoreline)

Royal Room (5000 Rainier Ave S)

Alternatively, you can bring it by Hollow Earth Radio on July 16 for the drive kickoff show featuring Lilac, Mikey Nike and Hoop.

OR, if you can’t make it in to donate, you can JUST GIVE MONEY!!! RIGHT HERE!

Don’t have enough cash to purchase a DivaCup or a box full of pads? Gently used bras are a major need — consider offloading that one bra you were never all that attached to. Or hand over that lotion bottle you swiped from a motel but never opened. Someone may that more than you do. 

Or maybe just spread the word?

Go forth. Be a Good Person.

* FULL DISCLOSURE: This Ish Ed is collected in said collective. I am hustling for this drive on and off the Ish.

MY BODY IS COVERED IN UNFINDABLE ITCHES

every time i think i've found the sweet spot epicenter of the itch i scratch it only to have a new one pop up elsewhere. or back in the same spot. i. am. DYING.

[goddammitdana]

I'm sorry, but you shouldn't be keeping a fish in a bowl. Fish need an at least 3 gallon tank with heating and filtering to live properly.

per the lifespan search i did on google, chippy 1 and 2 both lived well over expectation. 

eat my dick and go get your peta on elsewhere. you don’t know me.

I JUST GOOGLED "HOW DID JALAPEÑO POPPERS GET SO POPULAR" (i mean, i know WHY they're popular, because they're good; but like, where did they come from.) i am so high right now.

That moment when you’re reaching back to try and unzip your dress to go to bed but like you can’t reach cause you’re alone in your apartment and cats can’t help cause they don’t have hands.

i deleted all but one of my posts that had pictures of alex and i together because i was devastated and didn’t want to see his face. (i deleted then from my phone, too.) now that we’re back together i went through old texts to my mom to find pics of us. this is still one of my more favorite pictures of me and him.
