Autism is taking normal enthusiasm and dousing it with gasoline until you're god-tier excited and then wondering why no one else is vibrating with joy like you are.

🎃
A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

Today’s EMDR didn’t go so well, as I ended up in a full blown panic attack. Therapist struggled to talk me down, and I’m still not doing incredibly great. My husband came home early to help me, and I’m now sipping a THC soda and listening to LIVE DRUGS from The War on Drugs to chill out.

new research reports that cats vocalize more when greeting male owners. researchers suggest that this is because cats have apparently learned that men require additional explanation when provided with basic communication. I don't like the idea that cats are judging me this accurately.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

FYI, this is the time of year when bees get really slow and stupid. Our backyard which is thick with bees in the summertime, is a bit of a hazard now. We keep on having desperate bees cling to our clothes and hair, and then we bring them inside, to the delight of the cats.

The first panel shows a brain. The brain is saying "I'm 30 and YOUNG! I only recently fully developed!"
The second panel shows a heart. The heart says "I hear ya! I can keep going for DECADES more!"
The third panel shows a spine's face. It weakly says, "I am old".
We zoom out and the spine is using a walker. It continues, "so very old".

We drove back today to Eau Claire to pick up my mom’s wedding ring, which we had repaired at Lasker’s jewelers. It’s nice having it back on my pinky finger, after a decade of the stone being loose from damaged prongs. However, it’s really surreal seeing her ring on my finger.
My mom’s wedding ring from 1958 is on my pinky finger: a thick platinum band with a very sparkly diamond that’s surrounded by a swirl made of smaller diamonds. The ring on my right hand ring finger is a square cut amethyst surrounded by small diamonds, which I received for our 20th wedding anniversary.
