Certainly Here

We're getting there little by little, sure. But it's a road.

I do not use any poisons or insecticides and I actively encourage my house spiders

the result is that her home is full of poison-resistant cockroaches and nothing else, while mine is a healthy bug ecosystem of Mostly Spiders and sometimes the junebugs who like to come die in my sink. and the moths that I have to rescue from Glimmer. but no roaches!

pest control is just such a scam and it troubles me deeply how normalized it is idk. people react with revulsion when I'm like "no I just encourage the house spiders and they do a pretty good job" bc they are classing house spiders as equally bad as every other bug and that's TERRIBLE bc bugs are TERRIBLE due to they're YUCKY

rather than like. some bugs will leave you alone. some bugs want to eat you or your house. other bugs pose health and safety hazards bc they want to infest your cornflakes. a healthy crop of house spiders will prevent all of these from becoming a problem much of the time, barring extreme circumstances

Because I am the one going through the 5th treatment that will “definitely help”, I am the one that treats 7 pain like a 3, I am the one who swallows 40 pills a day, I am the one who keeps me sane when I spend every day alone.

I love my soft tummy, I love my long wavy Carmel hair, I love that I still want to paint despite the pain, I love the way my ass looks in Victoria secret underwear, I love that I turn everything into a poem, I love my taste in music, I love my thick thighs that keep my hands warm, I love that I’m sarcastic, I love the way I treat my friends.
