My cat loves the car, he's been in it for a car ride almost every day since he was 3 weeks old.

I can't juggle everything. I don't have the energy even for the things I loved. I feel like an empty fucking husk of a person.

I genuinely feel like I'm not allowed to outwardly show any discontent at any point. I don't know how I'm supposed to just be a fucking rock all the time. I'm going to die simply from the stress.

Have you heard of moss paint? You can blend up moss with a little nutrient and plaster that everywhere you want moss to grow. (Some mosses not all)

Omg thank you so much! Almost all spot on. I get up pretty late cause I'm on my partners sleep schedule and I'm not the most functional I somehow keep the ship upright but that's it lol The introversion happened as a result of people in general not being very compassionate. Eggs sound good now lol

This is the only social I still have. I think last time I has a Twitter was before musk was even a part of it and it was for like a week before I gave up. I left fb and ig and tiktok to use this and xioaongshu. I left my tiktok account up but I haven't logged in since the message thanking orange guy

Edgar likes to use Stuart as a bed. #rats
A gray and white dumbo rat, Edgar, lays on top of a larger all brown rat, Stuart.

texture changes and becomes soft like a kitten too. Today he gets to spend every minute with me and get spoiled with all the treats. His legs are still working but atrophied a little so he's especially grateful when I clean and itch his ears which he can no longer reach with ease.

lived with me ever since and has shed his previous owners nickname "chompy" and lived a long bite free life with me. I can tell he's gonna go any day now, it'll be strange if he makes to June. I can't begin to describe how sweet and docile he's become. As rats reach this advanced age their fur

For everyone else it's like she's the most compassionate person you've met but when I try to talk about what I go through it's treated like I'm faking or lying or like I'm a kid that just doesn't want to do it.

of one person. I want to do it, but I don't feel like I can. My legs are wobbly as fuck too, I'm weak 😭 I'm gonna feel guilty if I don't go like I'm shooting myself in the foot and worse if I do cause ill be dehydrated and exhausted and won't eat all day and I'm prestarved for a week...

ruined because if I say no I'm fucking myself cause I need money but she feels distant and impersonal and I just feel like I'm cheap labor. It's like any hardship I endure is nothing, if I talk about anything personal I get invalidated and undermined while I do the work of 4 people for half the pay

To me, C looks like it has more movement. Because of the rotation, the particles don't look like static shapes. It makes it harder to distinguish that the particles are the same image.

Given the choice, Edgar chooses potato chips over cheetos today. He's a rehomed baby and over 2 years old now. He's well trained and knows his name. My boys get spoiled more the older they get. He's gone from a fight filled runt to a quiet gentleman who only wants what you're eating. #rat

If I don't finish my breakfast Freddy doesn't hesitate. He loves overnight oats. Volume up for tongue sounds. #cat

Can't even see the lake today. Getting back into daily walking, yesterday we did 4 miles in the weight vest today we did just 1.5, tomorrow is my regular hiking day though and then I got a say of farm work after that so being gentle is in order. #hike #walk #photography #fitness

Gordon watches me cook and has to inspect every ingredient. He doesn't want to eat anything, he's just curious or checking quality or something 🤔 #cat

Did about 4 miles of walking in the weight vest this morning, hit shoulders in the afternoon, and some deadlifts while dinner was cooking. Spending the evening crawling in rats and watching south park and eating mandarins.

I just saw a fucking golden eagle. I have no words to adequately describe how incredible that was.

I've been making my breakfasts ahead of time lately. Just simply having it ready takes the hesitation and procrastination out of the equation. I'm consistently hitting my macros again, and all I do is fill one of these with milk and put it in the fridge before bed.
