Who told you where all my half finished bullet journals are buried?!

Surely this new notebook will fix me. It has a galaxy on the cover.

Interesting! What about synesthesia and aura migraines? I could see all those extra active synapses cause these issues for me too.

I wonder if this is why I had so many seizures as a child but haven't had any as an adult.

Definitely explains why so many people have asked me "why do you have to make everything complicated?!"

I needed this reminder to tune up my generator I learned how to fix when it broke down during Beryl last year.

The self control it takes not to ram the accelerator down is too damn high! I played far too much Twisted Metal as a kid and one day the intrusive thoughts are going to win.

Walkable cities sound so heavenly. Too bad I'm in the most sprawled out and car obsessed city with next to no public transportation all thanks to O&G trashing any attempts at high speed rail infrastructure.

I have to just take a deep breath and tell myself the person isn't a local and probably made a mistake so I can back off. But I have to force myself to do that. Especially when I have my kids in the car. My V6 ain't cutting it 😂

Justice sensitivity is a big one. It's not always a positive! Mine flares up while driving and if I let it win I would cause accidents. You got into that turn only lane and now want to cut in front of me? Absolutely not. The sign says turn you're turning. Driving stresses me out.

I dreamed I got carted off to a Trump concentration camp for calling an ICE agent a coward, found Alex Jones there and convinced him this was his moment to live out his persecution fantasies and he led a prisoner uprising. My fault for falling asleep listening to @knowledgefight.bsky.social

Got my mushroom tea, a lecture playing on quantum mechanics, and my crochet! Special interest paradise over here. 💜

I hope you are having a wonderful day as well!

Ducks are well known for their devious dishonesty and not honoring handshake deals! Don't trust them and get everything in writing.

I'm so relieved for her! Still more work to do to exonerate her but she is free. She can be surrounded by love and support now.

Orange tabby cat inspecting a cane that he just knocked over.

This asshole keeps knocking over my cane every chance he gets.

"I'm still punk" I cry quietly to myself as I step into my slip on Sketchers shoes I got from Costco after once again herniating a lumbar disc.

These storms keep coming close but still somehow missing me and I'd like to file a formal complaint to those in control of the weather and according to my sources (the worst of Twitter) that's NOAA and you guys.

But sincerely I hope your kid got some rest after all the excitement.

How'd you know I had to make a phone call so I can get pool passes for my kids this summer? I didn't even script the conversation out first because I was in a hurry and knew I'd forget if I put it off. The Horror.

RotJ is my favorite but I do often think of the ecological aftermath of exploding a moon sized space station above Endor.

All those Ewoks probably got Ewok cancer. RIP Wicket.

Petition to change the name from Aircraft Carrier to Aircraft Dropper.

I had a visceral reaction to that milk and the ketchup.

Also I'm glad someone else remembers purple ketchup and that it wasn't something out of a fever dream.

Here's a tip for smart bulb manufacturers. Making the damn thing flash while you connect it really fucks with a photosensitive epileptic. Had my ass trying to navigate your app with my eyes closed.

I'll never forget that during Katrina seniors were left to drown in nursing homes.

With our birthrates dropping we are headed for a lopsided age demographic that is very top heavy. This is a problem that will only get worse if we don't change course.

I just dreamed that "Having no VP" polled higher than JD Vance and it's the first laugh my brain has given me in months. Nature is healing.

Ok but with this being Star Wars I'm perhaps a little too concerned Bix turns out to be Cassian's long lost sister.

Honestly same 😂

What?! They are missing out on fried gator tail down under?! This cannot stand.

I'll be honest I can't tell the difference no matter how many times I'm told how to distinguish them by their jaws. Probably because I'm running either way lol.

So...evacuate Katy yet or naw?

Definitely masking so hard I didn't know I was ND, then the near loss of both of my children within two years of each other really put me underwater. Working a high stress job that conflicted with my values did me in. My son getting diagnosed opened the floodgates as I learned more about it.

Thank you, it's really encouraging to hear that.

Maybe this time I can come back as myself! This burnout can take my mask with it. I want to know who I am without it.

People like you and the Blue Sky community help me feel less alone and embarrassed about it. You also give me hope that there will be an other side at the end of it that I can get to. Which really helps me remember that this isn't forever.

I'm in right now. But I have two young children to take care of so I can't just collapse like I want to. But I've lost my career because of it. I missed my best friend's wedding because of it. All I'm getting from professionals is drugs tossed at me. Zoloft sucks but I'll give it 4 weeks and see.
