iEat Tulips

This blog is a mix of all sorts of things, kind of like my life. alot of text posts about random thoughts in my head, and reposts... hindu,witch,inked,sf/f fan, bibliophile, audiophile, linguiphile, artist.

[mlynn-tulipchewer]

he’s been eating all fucking morning...i realize some of it is popcorn which has no real value for wtf...is he even hungry at this point? jfc

[mlynn-tulipchewer]

tmi warning...

first period without hormonal (or any) birth control in many years ... and theres cramps.

i forgot how much this sucks.

but its better and more treatable than the side effects of nexplanon were

[mlynn-tulipchewer]

just really wish we could’ve known sooner but ... i even she didnt know, how could she, shes a dog... until it was bad enough to cause her to not eat etc. And she was trying to be normal right up to the end, trying to go to the door to be let out into her part of the yard cuz thats the routine, and stumbling on the way.

My poor, sweet, pretty girl.

[mlynn-tulipchewer]

hurting...

i’ve had a really good cry or two, burned a candle down, journaled... and i’m just - sad. .. which i think i’m allowed to be but the BF was like “you can’t fixate on it....” like - i’m not really, but i can’t keep images/memories from popping up (like how she stumbled trying to go to the door to be let out because thats probably what she thought we were trying to get her to do, instead of the front door to go to the truck...like “i’m weak and hurting but i’ll try, because I love you guys”).

Plus its been a day. 1 whole day of not having to let her out, feed her, or able to give her scritches or have her here wagging and whining when we come home. Excuse me for not handling things the same way. We both loved her, and miss her, you just express things differently....

I’m a little stuck between guilt and depression stages cuz - thats just kind of my natural state anyway, lol... frustrated that we could’ve done more about her hot spots and she would’ve been more comfortable (even though they didnt keep her from playing and such). frustrated that - thats all we thought was wrong, or that it was just a little bug or something....frustrated that we hoped it was something treatable and that her not eating is just - eh, sometimes they dont feel like eating as much...

doesnt seem to matter how many times I tell her “bye” and “i love you” and “thanks” in my head, I’m not okay with her not being on the couch behind me, or on the bed at my feet, or trotting down the stairs next to me in the morning to be let out.... or here to bark and wag when someones at the door.

...I’m at the point where the little things aren’t going to turn me into a puddle but - the little moments of “dont have to worry about putting my snacks away” or the lint trap being almost nothing but her fur, kinda stings.

and I feel like I can’t talk about it with him because I dont want to open those wounds for him

[mlynn-tulipchewer]

Bye Bailey... miss you already sweet girl. House is just not the same without you to greet us or beg us for human food, or prancing to be let out.

Wish it wasnt so sudden.

You were playing just last week.

Go chase those cloud squirrels. ... Love you.

[Image Description: a series of photographs of the absolutely magnificent chubby faced and happy round bois that are this marsupial. In every photo they looks like they’re smiling at the camera. They’re brown, they’re round, they’re furry, they have little arms, in some photos they are eating leaves, and it’s hard not to anthropomorphize happy human emotion onto their baby-like faces. If someone wants to add a better physical description I’m begging you please do, I’m not so good at describing new concepts and this is an entirely new animal to me. End ID]

This whole obsession with wheelchair users struggling on foot down the aisle at their wedding or across the stage for graduation is 100% powered by ableism.

[noping-out-deactivated20241117]

“The heartwarming story of how one woman worked for 8 months straight so she could escape the horror that is being in wheelchair for a few short minutes to struggle slowly and painfully down the aisle on her special day.”

[feraladoration]

“the horror that is being in a wheelchair” bitch it’s hella better than struggling slowly & painfully down the aisle ffs

[noping-out-deactivated20241117]

“Despite being permanently paralyzed, her one goal since her accident has been to walk across the stage for graduation. The whole crowd gave her a standing ovation and broke into tears when she dragged her paralyzed legs across the stage with the help of leg braces and a walker to collect her diploma, after which she immediately sat back down in her wheelchair, which she will use to move around for the rest of her life.”

How the hell is this an inspirational story? This person needs better goals. And a therapist.

[smoldragonborn]

They’re toxic in an even greater way because as a disabled person, I didn’t realise till I was reading this how much I had internalised that. I genuinely have had feelings of fear and shame about using a chair or a walker if I get married. And why? Because I’m constantly seeing “heartwarming” stories about disabled people who shed their mobility aids for that moment. Why the hell am I afraid of using them to get married? Anyone who marries me or attends the wedding will know I need them and love me regardless.

Bless this post for making me realise I’d internalised that shit.

[crittizen]

These types of stories teach people, both abled and disabled, that using mobility aids, especially wheelchairs, is inferior.

[margomoment]

here are some beautiful brides in chairs with dresses they ROCK. I know a lot of disabled ppl with internalized ableism think they “won’t look good” if they use their chair, but here’s some literally gorgeous gals for ur consideration

(that last ones cute as fuck and i teared up at it)

[noping-out-deactivated20241117]

Who needs a bouquet when you can be a bouquet?

[smoldragonborn]

I made my addition to this post in June 2019. Its now January 2020 and I no longer feel guilty about the idea of going down the aisle one day with mobility aids.

God bless the disabled community, y'all saved me from some internalised bullshit

[thegayemu]

This post floated by a few months ago, and I remember something to effect of there’s a difference between recovery and refusal. That is, like, I have a friend that suffered an incomplete spinal cord injury. He can walk again now, and I don’t think I’ve seen him use his chair in a few years. When he walked at his graduation, it was to show off his recovery. That he wasn’t quite ready to go through a full day upright, but he could walk across a stage, unassisted, and soon he would be able to do that every day. There’s also a difference in someone like me choosing to not use a mobility aid. My mobility is intensely fluid, especially seasonally. So, I would plan a summer wedding. And while I love my cane it can also be the biggest pain in my ass, so I’d want to just go unassisted. But that’s normal for me, at least right now. I can walk without an aid during about half of the year. It’s reasonable to assume I can make it through one day without it. All of that is different than someone that is fully and permanently paralyzed, that will never walk again, dragging themselves along because they feel that’s somehow better. Overall though, my biggest takeaway is fuck the media. Because disabled people should be able to make whatever decision they want without the media turning it into this grand inspirational story.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL FOR ANYONE WHO USES “BLUEBUFFALO” FOR THEIR DOGS!!

[itsalburton]

@k9kesi

[indirispeaks]

And cats.  Blue Buffalo killed @sidneystrange ‘s cat.

[sidneystrange]

THIS THIS THIS!!

I’ve been telling everyone I know for YEARS not to buy Blue Buffalo.

This is the short story:

A few years ago I took my sick cat, Ankh, to the vet. The vet and vet tech asked what I fed her. I told them Blue Buffalo. They looked like I had just told them I fed her razor blades and cyanide. They diagnosed her with pancreatitis and said that nearly all of the cats they’d been seeing lately with pancreatitis were being fed Blue Buffalo.  They gave her medicine and sent her home.  Two days later she had a seizure and died right in my arms. 

The day after she died Hannibal started displaying the same symptoms she had so I panicked hard and took him to the vet.  Got the same meds and the same diagnosis.  Luckily Hannibal survived.

I wish Ankh had survived. She was only ten and the best cat I’ve ever had. Literally the best and five years later I still cry when I think about her.

FUCK BLUE BUFFALO.

[k9kesi]

I don’t know the full story behind the tweets above, but a Google search shows there HAVE been several recalls regarding this brand, especially in 2016. I would absolutely avoid as it is not worth the risk.

[taigas-den]

@ladycyon

[espikvlt]

Good god thank you so much for sharing this because I’ve lately been considering switching to this brand cus it’s supposed to be so much better than all the others but good god what the hell.

[daxondax]

I worked in a vet for a little while and I shit you not, when a dog came in with constant diarrhea they were always eating Blue Buffalo. We changed the food and the dog got better every time. Blue Buffalo is garbage food and never feed it to your pets.

[the-lowz-of-highz]

I’ve never heard of this brand but I love my dog with all of my heart and I’d be broken if I ever accidently fed her this and got her sick (people give me different dog food to try all the time). I’d hate for anyone else to lose their pet also.

[angelbabyspice]

um?? what the fuck? holy FUCK my boyfriend and I were just about to start feeding our cat blue buffalo omg

[merodygirl]

Wft really?? Im never going to buy that killer food!! Praying for your pets!

[kyller-biis-deactivated20180114]

I’m so glad I know this, I’d be heartbroken if my dog died

[transbrotherhood]

not trans related, but i have like no followers and this needs a wide audience

[huskofyourself]

blue buffao has had many recalls for reasons including:

- salmonella

- mold

- aluminum

- melamine

- toxic levels of vitamin d

- propylene glycol

please share this with any pet owners you know, this is extremely important

Never buy Blue Buffalo. They’ve been awful for years.

[rosierades-deactivated20220211]

What makes me so angry about this brand is that they’ve received so many lawsuits and complaints about there product, they’ve rebranded to Blue Wilderness and still advertise themselves as something great via there commercials with the wolves and junk. Yet, they still haven’t made any sort of change to the product.

[sandssavvy]

Don’t buy Blue Wilderness either!

this would be so amazing ... i was just seeing some really pretty pieces on IG and I can’t justify getting them because my car needs fixing...

*drool*

[mlynn-tulipchewer]

study time... to try and not only understand this version of tarot (and pip decks) but deepen my readings overall and make the experience that much better for everyone.

Tarot - $3, Oracle, $1 ... FB, IG, Site/blog

and kofi for tips

[mlynn-tulipchewer]

gods i dislike people that wont just answer a question, or move a long

 I asked for peoples feelings about pentagrams/pentacles, if other felt a deep significance to them and i get a “they arent the same thing”

um. okay but-  they are both stars... one just has a circle around it... oh, wow, such a big difference...

-_-

i also included both in the original question so that people could discuss either or and their connection to them.  dont need a lecture. was literally just looking for anecdotes or whatever in connection to the symbol(s)

also - if one was new to the path, they wouldnt necessarily know that and being snippy like that doesnt help. just because you think its important to make the distinction every time, doesnt mean everyone else does/will.

[mockiato-deactivated20200315]

Any time you have to go ‘I bet they’d never treat the ki—Jews like this!’ you can honestly just assume that the Jews have been treated exactly like that

Of course, you could also look at large swaths of Europe and find areas that were pogroms and now are tourist attractions too but you know the people saying this dumb shit don’t even know what the word pogrom means so 🤷‍♀️

[mockiato-deactivated20200315]

A fucking pig farm was built on Lety Concentration Camp in 1971, less than three decades after hundreds of Rroma were slaughtered and the ones who survived sent to Auschwitz

[tchaikovskaya]

white europeans truly arent sorry enough for what their grandparents did only 70-odd years ago and you shouldnt let yourselves believe them when they say those crimes have been properly atoned for, and you definitely shouldnt hold them up as a gold standard of reckoning with sins of the past. uwu.

[emily84]

can confirm Italy has never had a proper conversation, or a conversation of any kind at all really, about our responsibility and culpability in sending thousands of Jewish people (and Rroma, and queer people, and “political dissidents”) to Germany, or about our own internment camps we built right here on our soil. We switched sides in WWII at the last second, then went boo hoo the Germans made us do it, we weren’t to blame, Italians are “good people”. Not only are we not sorry, we mostly don’t seem to think there’s anything to be sorry for.

[mlynn-tulipchewer]

as someone that enjoys urbex type things, and finds beauty in the macabre, i would love to visit these places.... but i would absolutly never have a wedding or other type of party there

my IG for divination and pagan stuff. its fun. i’m also open for readings.

[mlynn-tulipchewer]

hate the “not good enough” feeling... not a good enough in my house (i cant contribute the heavy labor....) not a good enough pagan/witch - i dont really have much of a craft, or do much work at my altar...  good enough to actually stick to things that I want to like yoga and language learning...

i need some sort of spell for will power or confidence or something.
