I have made the grave error of giving my pets a taste of pumpkin spice whipped cream. All their lives, they have known nothing of its existence and now I fear I have corrupted them for life. They now crave the spice. What kind of monstrosities have I unleashed?

Hubs: Can you please empty your clothes from the dryer? Hubs: Where are all the white shirts I washed the other day? Did you put your clothes on top of mine in the dryer? Didn’t you check first? Hubs: *checks dryer again* Oh, never mind. I guess this was my load of whites I never unloaded.

Guys, there was another incident. Another peach met its demise and now he’s started on the plums. #cats #VoidChild #CatsofBlueSky

Decided to put on some lullaby music for the dogs via Calm Radio and for reasons unbeknownst to me, it’s playing a gentle xylophone version of Elvis’ “Burning Love.” The dogs are okay with this.

Nobody warned me that having two young male dogs would result in my own front row tickets to Puppy Wrestlemania every evening at 10pm. Bonus points when the lab starts to get the zoomies halfway through & does flying leaps off the couch to clotheslines his brother.

Given Trump’s desire to cripple even more of our educated workforce - if becoming unemployed in this economy wasn’t hard enough - it would be a shame for Anonymous or a similar group to delete all records of those student loans. If the gov can forgive PPP loans, they can forgive these too.

One of the things I’ll never forget is learning that during the Swine Flu pandemic, public health teams were so efficient at collaborating & mitigating outbreaks that many people ended up thinking were overreacting to it due to the lack of visible fallout & low mortality rates 🙃

We are FINALLY getting more Maul stuff and there is the strong possibility that Darth Talon will be introduced and finally canonized. It’s not the sequel that Lucus originally envisioned by any means but I’m ridiculously giddy over this, AND IT’S BEING ANIMATED!!! #DarthMaul #StarWars

A word of caution: dogs do not care if you didn’t fall asleep until 3am. You will be body slammed and aggressively loved until you manage to stagger from your bed and go about the normal routine. And no, trying to bribe them with extra treats doesn’t work. They just end up with flavored breath.

Pretty sure doomscrolling at 2am is doing very little to counter my raging insomnia, but hey, at least I can now say I have raging insomnia ✨and✨ crippling anxiety going on. It’s like a reward.

My Lab finally got his stitches out after his entropion eye surgery. On one hand, I’m very happy we no longer have the cone of shame, but on the other, I was getting rather used to his General Grievous cosplay. 🤌🏻

A humorous comparing General Grievous (from Star Wars) to my chocolate-factored yellow English Lab after his entropion eye surgery.

Gagootz, the lab, had an operation to remove part of the skin around his lower eyelid to stop his eyelashes from curling inward and rubbing against his corneas. As a result, he looks as if he has excessive bags under his eyes and with his golden eyes (as a result of the chocolate gene) against his white coat, it’s very similar to General Grievous’ with his Kaleesh eyes and facemask.

Decided to take a break from Bluesky for a week or so as I was getting all kinds of anxious & doomscrolling nonstop. Today, I came back on to check things out as I miss being informed & feeling hip & with it. *sighs heavily at the everythingness going on* *closes app & boots up Sims 4 again*

Can we please normalize putting foreign languages in subtitles? Just having the phrase *character speaks Italian* is completely ableist, especially to those who may be bi or multi lingual. 👏🏻 If the audience gets to hear something that is being said, it needs to be transcribed every time! 👏🏻

As a glutton for punishment, I decided to give SW: The Last Jedi another chance (i.e., the worst of the series). Objectively, the premise/plot isn’t awful; it does have decent world-building elements & character dev moments to it. It’s the movie’s “tone” that ruins it.

It’s 4:30am and I’ve been up all night with this wind storm. I keep having to soothe the poor pets because the house shakes when we get the big gusts (~50mph give or take from what my weather app is saying), and so I’m in hyper alert “mom” mode. How do I deactivate this setting? Wine? Xanax?

Yersinia Bestis @yersinia-bestis.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

One thing that stresses me out is knowing that with increased unemployment rates there comes an increase pet abandonment rates as well. Shelters are already at capacity in light of rising costs, and it’s only going to get worse. Can someone please think of the puppies?

I dunno about you guys, but my anxiety has been on another level lately. It feels almost hopeless trying to find a job in this market, and things keep getting worse and worse. Can Anonymous please do their thing? At this rate, I trust them to be far more competent than Congress.

Normally, during times like this I would binge comfort movies like Star Wars and LoTR. Unfortunately, the whole “evil villain-destroying-everything-unchecked” trope is far too realistic at this point, and we don’t have a ghost army, light sabers, or nearly enough potatoes to save us now.

Team Ruff was robbed on the Puppy Bowl. Absolutely robbed. Thankfully, Foxtrot got his much needed MVP for scoring 3 touchdowns. I would have rioted if Kiki stole the title. #puppybowl

The Super Bowl may be one thing, but having a divided household when it comes to the Puppy Bowl is quite another. Marriages and alliances have been destroyed over one’s loyalty to Team Fluff or Team Ruff.

So TikTok has folks and news outlets in Canada talking about a possible war with the US. I guess Trudeau said something on a hot mic and now it’s getting major attention. Meanwhile, I’m over here in a border state trying to distract myself by making 6 layer dip. It’s fine. This is all fine. 🙃

My pups are loving the snow right now, especially my husky mix and the lab. The problem is that they don’t want to come in & keep ringing the potty bell to go outside. Unfortunately, I’m not allowed to leave them ✨unsupervised✨ because they see that as some great offense. 🙃 I must stand and watch.

Hey folks, just a reminder that amidst the chaos of surging COVID, RSV, and Flu cases and news about the TB cases in the US, there’s another one we really need to keep an eye on: M pox. Not only has it recently mutated, but it is NOT getting the attention it deserves! It’s still circulating.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's intentional. They're calling it "flooding the zone." The intent is to overwhelm and exhaust us so we can not effectively resist. Something simple you can do right now now is to make sure to take breaks and rest.
