have you seen jimothy of Seattle, the raccoon with a short body? is he okay or is he too silly for a long lifespan?

Hopefully this video clears some stuff up about Jimothy! (There are captions for anyone who needs them)

I love asking people how their parents met. You always get an interesting reply. My best friend’s parents met on the relatively new internet in 1999. My other friend’s parents met at Burger King when one was the manager and the other was a regular customer. My parents met at the beach because they were neighbors in their rental houses, mom was on a church trip and dad was getting blackout drunk every night with his friends next door.

Tell me how your parents met in the tags.

#things I know: my mum dated my dad's younger brother and they were at nursing school together #then somehow my dad was in the area too and they got together (my dad was a software engineer)#this sequence has never been explained but then 6 months before I was born my parents got married

filtering down ao3 results from 14000 to 6 based on a single tag is foul. im sorry none of you are as enlightened as me ig.

I am so proud of this photo.

Macro photography is still a skill I’m learning. Shooting through acrylic jewel case habitats is tricky. Doing it when the environment inside is purposefully humid and muddy is an exercise in frustration.

This little crab’s exhibit was all three.

So please, show this little guy the love they deserve, because this photo is an accomplishment.

Sam teasing episode 7

SAM: It's really crazy. It's really wild.

AUTUMN: I can't wait to watch it cause I've got to say six really broke me. It really broke me down. So, I'm ready to see it.

SAM: I mean, I think seven is like... I can't tell you. I can't speak.

AUTUMN: Don't! I don't want any spoilers, but do you have any words of warning?

SAM: I'd say it is a combination of the most horror we've ever done and the most... otherworldly. Yeah, I mean I think it would kind of hopefully give context to why the season is the way it is. Um and it will give some sort of structure into why– It gives some kind of– The season has always been building to this one specific episode. This was Rolin's initial idea of how to convey this impossible-to-adapt book and the core theme that he wanted to pull out of it and how he wanted to convey it... at least in terms with Lestat. And then– and outside of that, it's just pure horror. And I'd say, yeah, Assad is doing like some of the best work I've ever seen. He's just amazing. He's incredible in that episode. He's absolutely incredible.

AUTUMN: I can't wait.

SAM: That's all I can say.

AUTUMN: Okay, that's all that we can say.

I always think of the description I saw years ago: Self-imposed deadlines don't help me, because I know the person who set them, and they're full of shit.

Genuinely some of the most useful tools I have to fight executive dysfunction are:

Personal Cheer Squad. Having someone willing to go "hey do the thing" is super helpful. My friend group is a bunch of nerds so if anyone messages the group chat with "I need an oendon" we will all immediately post photos of ourselves doing silly poses and send a bunch of encouraging messages and emoji spam. Which is basically the plot of the Oendon/Elite Beat Agents game series. There are people cheering for you! You can do it! Also for smaller stuff I have a guy in my house (we are married) and we both remind each other/encourage each other to get shit done.

Stop asking if you want to do it. Start saying you want to have it done. Do I want to wash the dishes? No. Cleaning sucks. But I want to have clean things. Say it out loud. "I want to have clean dishes." Visualize the result rather than the process as you get started.

Just Five Minutes. Promise yourself that you can quit if it really sucks. Five minutes isn't so bad. You can handle just five minutes. Set a five minute timer. Hit whatever it is as hard as you can. After five minutes, you can decide to keep going or you can take a break and come back later. If you do quit, that five minutes still made it easier for next time.

Add fun. Have a treat in easy reach as you work. Play your favorite music or podcast or have a show going in the background. Light the scented candle. Dilute your misery of doing the task with pleasure.

Mix and match! Always keep looking for new tricks, new treats, and novel ways of completing your tasks to keep from getting in a rut.

You will note that none of these are the hat man with a gun! You can hack your tiger avoidance system into motivating you to wash the dishes. For a little while. But this will turn your brain into your own personal tiger that is always chasing you about something and that is bad for your whole body. Avoid giving yourself anxiety on purpose if possible!

For big things ask a friend to come over and gently bully you about it. "I have GOT to clean off my dining room table can you please come over and hang out while I do it? I'll make tea and cookies and we can watch TV after." <- your friends like you. They also hate chores. They understand , I promise. They will help.
