I GET TO GO HOME!

A mother and child play in the pool. Their heads stretch, extending upwards in long tendrils and leaving the frame.

Two children swim in the pool. Their heads stretch out, twisting and branching until they leave the frame.

A busy pool. Two people presumably swim inside, as their heads have extended into large masses that stretch out into the sky.

A chainlink fence with a sign that reads "POOL CLOSED". Behind, in the distance, enormous masses of what used to be flesh cover much of the sky.

Don't go into the pool.

when everything is just so depressing I can’t even, I go back to this thread which has over the last 4 years made me smile more than anything I’ve ever seen on social media. I adore everyone & everything in it and will be grateful for its existence for however long we are graced with it. ❤️

this is so fun because i know an LLM wouldn’t give me a response this creative. like this took the funniest shortcut possible. come have fun at youraislopbores.me

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

a black and white edit that reads "the future includes trans people". around the text is a floral pattern. the image is grainy

the future is for trans people

Exactly.

The funniest part of being stuck here have been the techs- they always come in a group, working around each other, stealing my blood, throwing meds at me, changing IVs, asking 200 Qs- then they all fuck off at the same time.
It feels like being mobbed by pigeons, every time XD

I have SO MANY BRUISES. Also had to change my iv site twice. Extra ow.

anything rn

plz no, I have been stabbed so many times and had my blood stolen that I am a mess of sensitive OWWIE noq

STIIIILLLL in the hospital as they stamp out complications. So exhausted rn I just wanna sleep and not be touched or prodded or poked or scanned for the next 2 weeks. Have so many bruises rn.

well, your gall bladder doesn't control anything the pancreas does, so...yeet that pancreas!

oh man- another 'HI!' *shank* illness I hope no one has to experience. Glad you survibed that one!

Yeah. The realization of how close I literally was to having sepsis freaks me out. I mean the gall of that bladder to commit war crimes on me (since it also triggered cramps and the worst migraine I have ever had)...

Also may I suggest looking at marine/navalsea paintings from the 1800s as well. I have found some of those are even BETTER ref than some of the photos I find.

Role-playing games on a library shelf.

In the Dewey Decimal System, probably used at your public library, role-playing games can most likely be found at 793.93.

THE TRAILER IS HERE!!!

I was worried there wouldn’t be any Black women involved, but there are!

youtu.be/p2zLCzV9CAA?...

This very thing is why practocal effects are still the best- the pranking aspect. XD

I am too. D: Its starting to really hit how close I was to sepsis.

This sounds interesting enough to pique my interest and back it.

Now I just gotta-[user has been attacked by nap ninjas]

Yeah, though looking back, I am wondering if its what has contributed to my general unwellness for the last few months, and triggering up my increasingly debilitating migraines. Definitely deserved yeeting.

So Im in the hospital rn. What started out with me thinking was a backache turned into a suspected heart attack. Went to urgent care. No heart attack, it was my gall bladder. Scans showed it was inflamed, so they opted for surgery. Surgery revealed it was gangrenous. D: Its been yeeted for good! 🫠

this is extremely fucking important, esp with what just happened in kansas. they are trying to criminalize every aspect of our existence. i try not to be alarmist about things but this is where we are and it is BAD bad

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Taking a moment to come up for air between the firehosings of bad news to say I am on Stoat ahead of Discord's verification bullshit, and am tendocandy#0628 there, if you wanna tag me.

hearing the slopkids whine about that always struck me like watching a cat walk to the wall-facing side of an open door to paw at it and cry to be let in.

I am seeing that my 'firehose of awful' regarding news is anytime but late at night. I wondered why I was doing ok last night vs now. 😬
