Interrupting your timeline with a little black and yellow caterpillar I saw today. That is all. You may carry on with whatever you were doing.

Going through some medical records today and I spotted this on the preoperative history and physical for my left twelfth rib resection 😂
Indications for procedure:
This is a very pleasant 30 y.o. person who has suffered with severe, prolonged left lower rib pain. This has limited her activity significantly and worsened his quality of life.

I kinda love looking at the records at ${BOOK_STORE} because it's such a strange collection of new stuff and boutique 90's indie albums that can only be described as Aspencore.

I'm gonna need someone experienced with tarot to tell me what it means when your new deck arrives with a very similar scar in a very similar position as you. Am I cooked? 😅

As it turns out, you can just change settings to display everything in grayscale and it's like a million times easier on your eyes. Or it is for me at least 😭💕 I'm still working through "using accessibility settings isn't a bad thing, and yes, you are, in fact, allowed to use them."

Do any of my Bluesky friends know the best way to go about purchasing specific, individual Magic: The Gathering cards? Sun-Spider, a multiverse Spider Hero with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, is apparently getting a Magic: The Gathering card. 🥺💕

I absolutely love this thing I saw at Costco. $190 to have the crumbs at the bottom of your toaster oven thrown to the back so they can smolder and get extra deluxe crispy. All so that you can reclaim those 100in² of countertop space in your $2000/mo end stage capitalism studio apartment.
