Some light reading to start off my ketamine session:

In a world of big evils and catastrophes, it's ok and even necessary to celebrate life's little joys.

"You talk most like someone from Minnesota — about 52% of your answers match a typical resident." Was really close to a Michigan result, but that year in Minnesota did a number on me linguistically, doncha know.

A map of the US showing Rieve's linguistic style matches that of the upper Great Lakes region: Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin. They speak least like a person from from the eastern seaboard or the gulf states.

I kinda regret not buying this yesterday.

Had a nice day off. Now it's back to the disability grind. Magnesium Sulfate and fluids at the infusion center.

Probably time to apply more sunblock.

Rieve in a blue and white checkered swim top, showing deep cleavage. They are wearing red teardrop glasses that have transitioned to sunglasses. Their hair is ear length, pink and blonde. They appear to be at a water park.

Ozzie's not eye (where his eye was removed as a kitten) is mildly infected. Bought some anti-microbial, cat-safe ophthalmic ointment that should be here today. I'm hoping it works and he doesn't need a vet trip bc he HATES leaving the house. Iggy is giving him a good snuggle right now.

Two gray and white cats in a red plaid bed snuggled up together. One is facing away, and the other is facing toward with two paws on the edge of the bed.

Have never spoken to this guy before in my life. He essentially used my post about a traumatic situation to catcall me. Hiding behind all those labels doesn't keep ppl like this from simply being creeps.

A past post from Rieve talking about their violent neighbor followed by a response from user cantankerous55.bsky.social saying, "Maybe a cop? A testosterone laden neighbor or family member? btw: I love your cleavage!"

At least I have cats. Including Iggy.

Bathed in green light, a white cat with gray markings, including a super-hero-esque upper mask and half a moustache lays in a cat bed. Rieve's hand is tucked against his chest and the cat's front paws are held in front of him like a lucky cat, despite him laying on his side. He has long white whiskers, a black nose, and one visible perked up ear. A back foot is gently grabbing Rieve's wrist. His eyes are dark but shiny and he looks content but curious and observant.

Saw this at treatment and it really hit me. Tossing it around in my brain.

A heart on a white background. The full background is covered in pink squiggles and has an artist signature. Inside the heart is text: no feeling is final followed by a little black heart.

Post a thirst trap. Ready, set, go!

A black and white photo of Rieve from the collarbone up. They are shirtless, their shoulders and chest speckled by beauty marks. They have short, assymetrical hair that is close cut on one side and long of varying, texturized lengths on the other. Their hair is light, their eyes look dark but warm. Their eyebrows are also dark and their features, in this lighting, look angular but not sharp. Their expression is mildly curious, as though waiting to hear what you have to say.

Saw this random dog. It's cute! Wanted to share the delight so I took this pic (w/permission). Even on vacation I was thinking of my bsky friends!

Do we like the pink? This was a tinted toner, but I'm thinking I'll keep it!

"cornbread crepes" You mean corn tortillas?

It's not perfect but not bad for a first try. I'm happy with it!

Look at the dogs I saw today! They make quite the pair.

A white dog, rather large. He has heterochromia. Looks like a lab mixed with a great dane. He's being walked on a leash.

A tiny fawn coloured Chihuahua. He's on a walk on a leash. He has a grizzled snoot and looks like he wants pets.

We could all use a little Ozzie today, methinks

I absolutely wanted this flower pot, but sadly do not have a yard for it. Maybe some day! The conservatory gift shop is actually pretty neat in both the eclectic nature all tied together by a singular theme (sounds paradoxical, I know) and also that you can get good plants for fairly cheap.

Bric-a-Brac in a gift shop, mostly plant or garden themed. Includes giant paper flowers, small mammals made of mixed materils (metal and faux plants), candle tapers shaped like flamingo croquet mallets, delicate glassware, houseplants.
In the center on a long legged stool (or table?) with a proportionately small flat surface sits a metal flower pot of fun, bright colours (each part being a different colour). The body is the pot, and it has a head with a wide open mouth, pronounced nostrils, and big big goofy looking eyes. It also has spindly legs and tiny feet with 3 toes each.

Sora and I went to the conservatory today where we had our first date a decade ago. One of my favourite shots from the day:

Pink flowers on tall, straight, thin stalks. Any leaves are much further down the plant and out of sight. The pink flowers look like little fireworks explosions and some of the petals have their fuzzy bits on their tips. The pink could be described as Barbie pink and the yellow as marigold yellow.

I just thought this clover was pretty and wanted to share something lovely.

Haven't seen my father in 15 years. Every now and then I remind him I exist. #self-care

Paper Flowers Jessica Jocelyn

If I run far enough, will I still be someone's daughter? Will my name be spoken in whispers, or worse, not spoken at all?

If I stay away long enough, can I be erased by time? Can I slip between the cracks so far that I void the blood that ties us?

I'm not sure what it feels like to be loved, but I don't think it's supposed to feel like this. I don't think my feet should be scarred from walking on eggshells.

And if this is love, then may I never be found.

This is why I'm still a fan after all these years. (Maybe of interest to @charloh.online )

A screenshot from Facebook showing Five Iron Frenzy's new cover photo: The background used on the album "Upbeats and Beatdowns" with text: Fighting Christian Nationalism since 1995

A 'fan' replies:

Van Estes
Well, Five Iron Frenzy, if your objective in life was to gain praise from atheists and people who have walked away from the faith, congratulations, you've arrived. What's it say about the witness you've built over the last 3 decades when all the replies in your comments are affirmation from people who have rejected Jesus? SMH

Five Iron Frenzy responds:
Van Estes Do you know what Christian nationalism is?

It's been almost a year since I last played and loading up again, damn this game is still so pretty. #Starfield

A letterbox view of the surface of a white and gray rocky planet with no atmosphere. There is a building in the distance, dark and tall. Nearby, white rocks float, suspended between the black of space that has been pierced with thousands of pinprick stars, and the nearly barren surface of the planet. It has an almost ghostly aura, starkly beautiful

From @sfdirewolf.bsky.social on twitter Alice Wong is irreplaceable in every way, but maybe we can each carry on a little bit of her work and her light. #RIPAlice

This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing.

Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is inclusive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

So my hair is accidentally rose gold and I love it.

Rieve in a black tank top from the shoulders up. The tank top is black with round spots of colour. Rieve's hair comes to just above their ears and the front bits are crimped. Their hair is rose gold coloured.
Their eyes are made up in a shimmering pink copper under a warm light gold streak with fluorescent pink at both corners of each eye. One eye has a star stamped in black at the outside corner and both sides as well as their chest and hair are glimmering with glory glitter. A silver chain hangs delicately around their neck.

They seem happy and shyly confident.
