Jo's endless monologue

[theworldofjo]

intro post!

hi everyone! I’m Jo! I actually was pretty active on tumblr abt 6 months ago but a whole bunch of stuff happened in my life.

While my illness don’t define me they do greatly effect my experiences in life so little background: I’m chronically ill thanks to the eating disorder than almost killed me, after I began to recover from anorexia I developed rumination syndrome and my tic disorder worsened. I’m in recovery from anorexia nervosa, as I previously mentioned. I have Autism, ocd, ADHD, anxiety and depression. Along really odd physical symptoms like poor circulation (not POTS idk what it is my doctor don’t either)

I love: art, anything vintage, western and hippie aesthetics, fashion, Percy jackson and the heroes of Olympus, folk music, punk, art, plants, nature in general, hiking, animals, fishing, medical history (specifically epidemics), the Beatles, collecting things, history in general, specifically my family history, bugs, mushrooms. My favorite video games are animal crossing, legend of Zelda, and red dead redemption 2. I love running and just recently started back up. Classic literature

I’ll make a tagging system for this new blog soon rn I’m just so happy to be back. I missed the wonderful communities on tumblr. I’ll clean up this post later.

Horse neighs. Sheep bells. Dog barks. Truck horns. Bird songs. Insect chirps. All carried by the crackling whisper of the wind.

Have you seen Sarah Masons art work? She’s going to art school in Rhode Island and I was just looking at some of your paintings and thought of you

OMG YES. I adore her use of color

My dearest mother, who has met and spent over an hour with probably less than 3 horses in her entire life, after reading a list of Olympic casualties that included horses has become so fixated on the fact they must be put down after breaking a leg. She first developed this fixation on the first day of the Winter Olympics, however as you can see, it has not gone away. It doesn’t help her daughter is an animal science student.

(I did answer her question, do not fear) (in the simplest way possible: by sending her a picture of a flamingo standing on one leg and asking how many horses she sees just resting casually and supporting themselves on less than four feet)

I love it when a character is the groups dog

But not in the pet way

Or the guard dog way

But like a shelter dog—

Like we know you came from a bad home so we’re gonna forgive you for growling because we can see your tail is tucked

Or

If I approach slowly and speak softly can I give you some pets

Or if I give you treats can I please get rid of your fleas

Big on people who are like shaky rescue chihuahuas , because like me too. In general I like people who could easily be compared to genre’s of dog.

I love designing human characters inspired after dogs I meet at work. I think dogs provide a good framework to see ourselves because I’m an animal nerd who is autistic and was surrounded by autistic adults growing up, so I learned a lot about social interaction through animals. Like my grandpa didn’t know human social cues but he taught me how to understand a dog’s.

Up to my neck in legal stuff trying to figure out how to get the evidence to clear my name and charge someone else with libel after the impersonated me with the intention to damage my reputation, so I went out in the field to clear my head

I’m sure y’all are tired of me and my silly photos by now, but check it out!!

Me in my great grandma’s dress that she sewed from a 1950s pattern, in the 1980s for her 50th wedding anniversary, holding a photo of her and my great grandpa at their 50th anniversary party.

the wording on this Jack russell vid beamed a permanent mark onto my brain

[heroes-wear-green]

[theworldofjo]

I often think about what my room says about me. I think little me would love it and that’s all I care about

Makes me think of my best friend

He’s grown up with me 🥲

Why are almost all the study blogs also like girl bloggers or have a super clean aesthetic? Where are my chaotic and outdoorsy study blog girlies?

the best part was when he said “it’s corbin’ time” and then he corbed all over them

[velvetvexations]

It's funny when people without the right accent sing Horse Soldier, Horse Soldier, because you'll hear them very clearly say "Hun" and then try to rhyme that with "Englishman" using an equally clear A-sound.
