Was trying to capture her sweet silhouette in the golden light but uhhhh I guess this works

Just 2 weeks ago, making the spay cone look fabulous

The saga continues

Finally! Look at this beautiful portrait by @ahedderick sitting in pride of place atop the trans hyena patch and a mushroom work by my very best friend of forever! I've been sitting in this glorious piece for FOREVER, im so happy i get to see it every time i walk in my door. Thank you so much @ahedderick!!!!!

[oceanfloorfires]

I need you all to appreciate this more. Are you aware you can pay money to have a gloriously hand-painted portrait of your beloved pet by an exceptionally wonderful Appalachian artist who also shares beautiful slices of life on her tumblr blog for free???

Please. Consider. I look at this thing every single day and with thr state of my mental health, the fact it gives me a lil smile every morning is genuinely priceless.

@ahedderick the gratitude continues.

lmao i havent been on here in forever but i have no one to tell that i ordered a pizza and lava cakes that... didnt arrive. Called and informed the store, the manager gave me some serious attitude n suggested that bc i selected "leave at door" someone mustve swiped it.

Homie, i been sitting 4 ft from the door with the blinds and window open, if somebody so much as breathed at my door i'd hear it. This place is cardboarddd.

He grudgingly said they'd resend it... didnt arrive. Got a desperate voicemail from the driver (half my verizon phonecalls just dont come thru?? Seems to be a wifi call issue) and it turned out that, as i suspected, he had delivered to the OTHER (worse) Pinnacle apartments literally across the street. Who opens up a 2nd motel fixer-up --> apartment and names it the SAME THING. (And makes it objectively worse than the 1st. We got casual sims players who would do an infinitely better job with the space.) Anyway....

I ~eventually~ got my original order plus the duplicate one so now my freezer is full of deliciousness I will have to ration over the next hundred months bc i have diabetes and shouldnt be eating any of this anyway.

Poor non-native english driver. He was super cool abt it, professionally apologetic and polite, and I tipped him $5 extra bc he was running around missing out on other easier tips trying to figure out wtf was going on. Yeah it was his mistake but if the manager was being kinda a dick to me i assume he's going to be way worse to the driver. It was all i had in cash.

Free stuffed crust and chocolatey sugar for meee!

[oceanfloorfires]

Kind of hilarious how easy its been getting back on T and now actually finally pursuing top surgery 15 years later. Very aggravating and sad for my former self but. Its taking like zero effort now that ive worked myself up over it for 15 years.

[oceanfloorfires]

Welp Ive uncovered a short story I wrote somewhere between 2010 and 2013. While it's distinctly very reflective of being 18, its honestly still pretty decent?? Dm me if you want to read an angsty t4t love story with a smattering of body horror i guess.

I miss my bastard boy

Dog people are all just a bunch of fuckin weirdos the way they think their beasts can never hurt a fly and anyone worried is a sick monster like strangers don’t know ur fucking dog bitch we don’t know their tendencies we don’t know their training level it’s a big ass beast with veiny muscles and gnarly gaping maw coming at us what the fuck do u think people will respond with but fear. Like what is wrong with with these people mentally something is missing up there

[simpforsix]

after volunteering at a harm reduction agency for a couple months i can confidently say that addicts and homeless people (and homeless addicts) are not the boogeymen people make them out to be. they all just want coffee and candy. there's all this fear mongering and meanwhile your local addict is just some guy drinking a double double with slightly smaller pupils than normal.

and before you bring up a bad thing an addict has done, please remember that sober people have also done bad shit and that the majority of addicts are totally safe to be around. if you want to talk about how scary addicts are, i will talk about all the customers i had at my old job who made me fear for my life. stop fear mongering and start actually meeting addicts. yes, they can be scary, but so can anybody. fear mongering about addicts only leads to discriminatory policies and policing, which increases violence against them and worsens the problem.

the scariest thing about addiction isn't the addicts. it's the blood on the hands of politicians.

In 9 days ive seen 1-3 people on fentanyl on my 4 bus commutes back and forth, every single day. This shit is so scary. I wish I could do something material.

[oceanfloorfires]

Waaait a fucking minute. Does "on the ball" mean like. Keeping your eye on the ball so you can catch it??

I always just imagined a person on top of a very large (specifically blue??) ball carefully balancing and walking backwards so the ball moves forward 😭😭😭

[goldensunset]

the nearest depiction of an animal or other sentient fantasy creature to you at this moment comes to life right where it is (i.e. cat photograph, shark plushie, dragon painting, etc)

what happens to you

i am so dead

i need to go to the hospital

maybe a few things to be looked at but i’m fine in the end

i’m totally fine

i’m totally fine and i’m happy

my situation is really really really specific lemme tell you about it

n/a

Voting ended onJan 11

assume it doesn’t know you (unless it’s actually a specific animal you’ve met) and that it’s normal for its species and would do whatever was natural for it. including being too giant for and destroying the room it’s in. as well as dying immediately if its environment can’t support its life

"They treated mythology like a spreadsheet."

The "God of [Blank]" format is one of the most annoying legacies of Victorian scholarship. They desperately wanted to categorize the messy, organic beliefs of ancient peoples into a tidy "Pantheon System" that mirrored their own bureaucracy.

But the gods weren't bureaucrats. They were The Powers. When you read the eddas, Odin acts like a person; a paranoid, brilliant, terrifying, and often treacherous person. He isn't the "God of Wisdom" any more than Napoleon was the "God of Hats." He was just... Odin. And that was enough.

There will be NO MORE trauma and pain in the new year. Only good things from here on out. Like top tier things. I’m talking prime cuts of time. The type of year that falls right off the bone.

I think I’m still hungry.

[oceanfloorfires]

I live in a shitty spot on the highway in a high fentanyl area with a tonnof unhoused. Since i last took the bus to rehab in october they removed the bus shelter at my first stop. Disgusting behavior.

[oceanfloorfires]

Im not hungry, in fact my fat ass probably shouldnt eat again tonight. But i decided to make more soup and caramelizing the onions is very soothing. The sound of it, the stirring, the slow color transition.

I should clean my kitchen. That would probably help too. But i refuse to turn on the big light and im also too tired.

But, better. Ish.

[oceanfloorfires]

Tearing my hair out on this last fucking episode rn jesus christ

[oceanfloorfires]

Ooo that was crazy work. Actually inspiring, creatively. Just what I needed tonight.
