girl dinner. fattest fucking plate of pasta you've ever seen in your life

saw this taped to a lamppost tonight and i love it. no link, no QR code, no contact info. just a person who wanted to publicly complain about a minor inconvenience so bad that they wrote it down and taped it to a lamppost. this is good. this is organic. genuinely who needs social media. we should review restaurants like this too. god bless

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

The vet noted that Vice had a little bit of plaque built up on his teeth at his appointment last week, so we're now ten minutes into teaching him to tolerate having his teeth brushed. Step two will be increased tolerance and three will be finding a pet toothpaste he likes.

The things I do for lint, man.

So this is literally only ten minutes of training on the toothbrush, but prior to this I have made a point of occasionally touching teeth while petting for all of my cats, because dental checks are part of routine vet visits and this normalizes that kind of contact. So sometimes while I'm petting their faces, I'll move their lips and press against their teeth a little.

Then, I introduced the toothbrush! It's one of the soft bristle spares I keep packaged in my guest room-- I opened it up, swirled it through the treat jar to cover it in crumbs, and held it out for investigation. Mmmm tastes like treats

And then I used the toothbrush to brush over his face and head, which he enjoyed quite a bit! This is a good face, trust me. Gradually I focused on petting and brushing near his mouth, eventually bringing a second hand in to stabilize his head. Lots of treats at this stage. And then...a little bit of brushing and still more treats.

He's food motivated enough to stick around throughout this whole process. If anything, I'd encourage you to occasionally gently handle your cat's mouth during normal petting, just to make vet visits easier.

it is honestly amazing how much of writing and editing is just. logistics. like... do i use a name here or a pronoun? if i move this dialogue tag to the middle of this line and break it in half, does the end of the line hit harder that way? what if i move the tag to the front? what if i remove it entirely? ...wait, whose point of view am i in; can i reasonably say this character is appalled, or must i say they look or seem or sound appalled? is this a deliberate action or a step-removed one; is her hand closing on his shoulder, or is she closing her hand on his shoulder? environment environment environment, we need to break all this dialogue up with some narration, the scene is coming untethered. what! are! they doing! with! the rest of their bodies that are not hands! fuck fuck fuck FUCK i forgot we covered this two chapters ago and now i either need to cut this whole chunk or find a reason to reprise the conversation from earlier. name or pronoun? name or pronoun? name or pronoun? move this clause around in this sentence? oh i'll add this phrase-- nope, never mind, past!me added the same phrase two lines down. okay, if i add too much environmental narration it's going to take away from this bit, but not enough and it won't feel grounded. what if i move this to its own line? where the FUCK are their hands?

you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid

#sometimes the reverse also occurs; ergo 'why didn't i just read/watch somethung good? am i stupid?' when it should have been obvious #the thing was going to suck #and i sort of have a dead dove moment like. i should have foreseen this #or like the person in the notes saying 'me when i tried to read [renowned children's fantasy series] after [renowned adult fantasy series]'

you can’t choose to stop being in pain, but you can choose not to beat yourself up for it. you can choose to be kind to yourself, and not curse your body for being sick. it is doing the best it can, and so are you. it’s not your fault. you were unlucky, and the situation you’re in truly fucking sucks. but it’s not your fault and you don’t need to blame yourself. rest. have a cup of water. take your pain meds. pet your arm and say it’s okay, if that helps.

you don’t deserve to feel that guilt and shame on top of your pain. it’s not your fault. give yourself some grace and speak kindly of yourself, you’re doing the best you can

some fern embroidery for spring <3

i’m going to an ostara celebration today! this is the second time that i’ve embroidered ferns, and i’m happy with how it turned out. i started with a darker green and integrated a lighter color as i got closer to the ends of the fronds to create a gradient :)

#so so cool....#embroidery #sewing
