Oh I see so it's not that the person who made it was cultivating the strangest vibe possible for the grimace birthday playlist it's that they put every song ever on it

The word "faggot" appears in the lyrics on this playlist multiple times. Dead Kennedy's are on here.

I cannot. Stress. Enough. It is on the grimace birthday playlist.

IT IS ON. THE GRIMACE. BIRTHDAY PLAYLIST.

Have I told y’all about my husband’s Fork Theory? If I did already, pretend I didn’t, I’m an old.

So the Spoon Theory is a fundamental metaphor used often in the chronic pain/chronic illness communities to explain to non-spoonies why life is harder for them. It’s super useful and we use that all the time. But it has a corollary. You know the phrase, “Stick a fork in me, I’m done,” right? Well, Fork Theory is that one has a Fork Limit, that is, you can probably cope okay with one fork stuck in you, maybe two or three, but at some point you will lose your shit if one more fork happens. A fork could range from being hungry or having to pee to getting a new bill or a new diagnosis of illness. There are lots of different sizes of forks, and volume vs. quantity means that the fork limit is not absolute. I might be able to deal with 20 tiny little escargot fork annoyances, such as a hangnail or slightly suboptimal pants, but not even one “you poked my trigger on purpose because you think it’s fun to see me melt down” pitchfork.

This is super relevant for neurodivergent folk. Like, you might be able to deal with your feet being cold or a tag, but not both. Hubby describes the situation as “It may seem weird that I just get up and leave the conversation to go to the bathroom, but you just dumped a new financial burden on me and I already had to pee, and going to the bathroom is the fork I can get rid of the fastest.”

I like this and also I like the low key point that you may be able to cope with bigger forks by finding little ones you can remove quickly. A combination of time, focus, and reduction to small stressors that can allow you to focus on the larger stressor in a constructive way.

does this mean somewhere there is a knife theory?

jenroses

Knives are traumas that require help to fix. Take a fork out and stress is reduced. Take a knife out and you better be prepared to stop the bleeding.

self care is buying yourself a half dozen sunflowers

self care is opening your mouth to tell the florist not to bother adding greenery, not to wrap artfully it in dark brown paper, not to tie it off with a piece of rustic twine, not to give it to you like it’s something precious to hold, because you’re just buying them for yourself and you’re going to put them in vase as soon as you get home, and then, you know, closing your mouth instead of saying any of that and accepting the beautifully wrapped bouquet that you bought yourself

self care is coming home and taking the too tall drinking glass that you bought fifteen minutes from the mexican border, the one painted in blue and white floral patterns, like that expensive china except better for all the ways it’s uneven and clearly made by an unsteady hand, and putting it by the kitchen window next to the sink, filling it with water, and unwrapping your half dozen sunflowers to put them in your too tall glass next to your kitchen window

self care costs a dollar a sunflower and all the sunlight you can borrow or steal

One funny thing to me about across the spiderverse was that like. You KNOW Hobie doesn't fuck with cops. You KNOW he was standing there like chewing on the inside of his cheek Not saying anything really really insensitive about Miles' dad. Spider-punk went the whole film without oinking at anybody I think his restraint is commendable

Miles, 15 years old, likes his dad: we can't just let people die c'mon guys!

Everyone else: I understand but please listen it's part of the timeline we can't change it without destroying the universe--

Hobie standing over there fidgeting with a pin on his vest that says "ACAB" on it:

[ID: tags from @avengerphobic that read "#hobie brown #he has blue shoelaces which means hes killed a cop so im sure he was like screaming on the inside #spiderverse spoilers" /end ID]

Hobie, quietly: I'd kill your dad myself to be honest

Miles: what?

Hobie: nuffink

bifrosted-flakes

Important to note that in the comics he has not only killed cops (he lives in an ultrafascist universe where the cops have venom symbiotes) he also cut off the president’s head with his guitar

because-im-freaking-greed

Extremely swag thank you

One note: "cut off" sounds like he's got a blade in his guitar, but he doesn't. It's a blunt instrument. He just swung it hard enough to overcome the strength of his neck and rock-em-sock-em'd him
