This is baby Buddy, born in June of last year. He's at least 60 pounds, and is heckin tall. He also has taken it upon himself to be the Official Winky Inspector. If his face isn't in his brothers' winkies at least once every few minutes they might just fall off. He's a dedicated boy. He's also supposedly a purebred boxer but uh… yeah no. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7l0FguB5mk/?igshid=jdazq8auf3zt

If you’re the kind of person who would do that, you never become Bezos in the first place.

My Dad owned a business my whole life. It was profitable, but it didn’t expand. I ask him once why he never grew it, and he said it’s nearly impossible without climbing on someone’s back–your vendors, your customers, your employees. Particularly that last one. You don’t wait until your business is big to be a good human being. The very first time you have to choose between your own profit and your employees health insurance, you choose the later. You give maternity leave even though the government doesn’t make you. You dock your own salary to not lay people off during a recession. You have adequate staffing and reliable hours. Anybody who says you can’t run a retail business on a normal, reasonable, predictable schedule you know in advance is full of shit. My Dad did it for 35 years (always have one more person than you think you need, and 98% of your staffing problems vanish). It’s just not maximum profit. If you don’t prioritize extracting profit from every corner of your business, you never become rich enough to give billions away.

(One of the things my father is proud of is that by the time he retired they hadn’t needed to take a help wanted ad in 30 years. Turnover was low, and when a spot opened, referrals filled it.)

This…explains a lot.

autistic-noodle

Yes, I am proud to be autistic, and I am proud to be part of this community.

No, I don’t see myself as “uwu quirky and special” because I’m autistic.

Yes, I know autism can impact autistic people’s lives negatively, and that it can be challenging - trust me, I’ve experienced it myself.

No, I will not see my autism as this 100% terrible and negative thing, because it isn’t.

Yes, I acknowledge that some autistic people will need more support than I do, and that some will need different support for different sensory needs.

No, I am not dismissing those people by refusing to use functioning labels. Nor am I holding myself up as superior to those people.

ok like kakapo are great and all, i love them dont get me wrong but takahē are by far the best endangered new zealand bird and quite possibly THE Best Bird?

you cant really get any better than this. criminally underrated

#they are so round!#😍

They had none of the sensitive skin stickers for the electrodes. It's been on less than an hour and I'm already itching like mad. The tech emailed the company rep to have some mailed to me… Having an allergy to adhesives suuuuuuucks. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3fXA5ohOBJ/?igshid=165ez6ff6yaem

Third doctor appointment this week. They're taking this dizziness seriously. Currently I'm at a cardiologist getting an event monitor. I'm to record my coughing-near-fainting fits. I'm certain it's vasovagal pre-syncope, but I'm not the medical professional. #lupus #fibromyalgia https://www.instagram.com/p/B3fPnQSh5bz/?igshid=em3ls1fn2esq

New nose rings! I did good for guessing sizes. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2sKoFTh9Qr/?igshid=1ulgmx3um9zst

Pineapple challenge underway. Also zoom in on these great earrings by @ranchoeyes because wow. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2MuqGlhZEg/?igshid=12wnhv8ktsj6q

I haven't updated in a while. I'm doing a dogsitting and I missed two days of my crazypills this week. My guts are an absolute mess. I can't stay far from a toilet but the doggo needs a walk. Also I just feel wobbly and gross. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1eIcxVhuOx/?igshid=y4ea6vuh8eb9

I'm not really a big fan of melons in general. I haven't been for a long time, mostly due to texture issues. And also they don't always taste that great to me. but they are one of the few fruits that are okay by my low-/no-fructose diet that I'm supposed to be following. So I'm trying. I don't have any tajin spice, I don't have any lime or lime juice because I'm not supposed to do citrus, but the internet suggested a little bit of salt and a little bit of smoked paprika. Here goes nothing. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0EV5RahVIZ/?igshid=2y3bvbaq2jes

Gastroenterologist today. I wonder if she'll have anything useful to tell me. I'm not hopeful. #lupus #fibromyalgia #chronicallyill #chronicallyawesome https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzvx3zShE1m/?igshid=1q49tth7z3xd6

Okay, this part of having a dog is pretty great. She's pouting because @kathleenfrances.3 and @tcmiller10 are (still!) not home, and also because I will not indulge her in a puppy-upping tickle session. Sorry, Lily, not at bedtime. Besides, you're people will be home in like, slightly more than twelve hours. Also, yes, all those bruises on my leg are from Lily. She has no idea that she is a thundering beast. And that I am a delicate flower. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzj2i0ABaYQ/?igshid=1k8iiqdidivzq

Someone is the grumpiest boy. https://www.instagram.com/p/BzjXTHHByWO/?igshid=1uol7hg693ajc

The derp is strong when she's waiting for you to throw the ball. https://www.instagram.com/p/BzgGB0VBsHk/?igshid=vqbragi860ao

Aunt Maggie played a horrible trick on Lily. She thinks 11:38pm is the correct time to play with a tennis ball. Oh no oh no it's not, sweet silly billy Lily. She doesn't understand delayed gratification, but for real the bitch already lost 2 of the 3 balls I bought yesterday. 25 hours. Plus she lost the bonus ball I found under the couch. Aunt Maggie is the meanest meany. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzeuvu8hf8O/?igshid=15qcv4ids2gbx
