Illogicat's Lair

It's my 13 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Omg I don’t think I ever answered this I’m so sorry.

(WARNING for the arachnophobes, there’s a photo of a big spider at the end of this post)

Unfortunately, I no longer have inverts due to my breaking up with the partner that I had them and my reptiles with and selling the tarantulas off. But if I remember correctly, we had Arizona bark scorpions, Asian forest scorpions, one Florida bark scorpion (that had like 60 babies two weeks after getting her asdfghjkl), a pair of flat rock scorpions and emperor scorpions.

As for the tarantulas. I had (please don’t come at me I can only remember common names anymore):

1 Mexican redknee

1 Mexican painted leg

1 Mexican Fireleg

1 Rosehair

1 Chaco Golden Knee

1 Arizona blond

1 Costa Rica Zebra Knee

2 Guyana pinktoes

2 Antilles Pinktoes

1 Green bottle blue

2 Cuban Bronze

1 Brazilian blue beauty

2 salmon pink birders

2 Brazilian blacks (ugh they were my favorite sis have another one in a heartbeat)

4 curly hairs

1 Colombian pumpkin patch (large variety)

And 1 King baboon sling that I was terrified of, but I got it in a lot my friend was selling for dirt cheap and he didn’t know what he had.

I THINK that’s all of them…photo of the bigger of the two Brazilian blacks which was honestly still kind of on the smaller size lol.

Just a glimpse into the type of “friends” I apparently seem to attract….yes, let’s assume the first time mom doesn’t know what a blowout is, and let’s also assume my first instinct would be to cry to fucking Facebook over something that may or may not even happen.

The fuck.

Friend makes a political post essentially saying the constitution is outdated and only caters to white males. Also goes on in the comments with two screenshots of 18th century cures for common ailments and how he wouldn’t trust medical remedies from back then, so why should we abide by the constitution now when it isn’t inclusive, etc.

One of the cures was just “Ferrets for whooping cough”.

And because I have four, now I’m curious since most treatments from back then are some form of blood letting or some weird ass fucking ritual so I just comment “I kind of want to know how the fuck a ferret would cure whooping cough”.

Come back to two replies to my comment (neither from my friend), one of which suggested “maybe they fucked them and got a disease” and the other was “maybe they put them up their ass”.

The last two weeks with work have been an absolute fucking nightmare all because they couldn’t accept limitations my doctor set for me without paperwork that would take them ten business days to have filled out and reviews by their legal team before sending it to my job. So they forced me onto unpaid leave and I’ve been out of work since last Tuesday and trying to get in touch with them via email or even just RETURNING MY PHONE CALLS has been a nightmare, and I STILL don’t have a return to work date even though they finally received the paperwork.

I’ve tried advertising my handmade items on my Facebook so I can at least buy food because now being pregnant I can’t just NOT eat and it seems like I’m hungry 24/7, but I also can’t keep using my credit cards or dipping into what I have put aside in my savings towards buying the house so I can pay bills, which is exactly what it’s coming to.

Etsy, for whatever fucking reason, is not letting me make new or edit existing shipping profiles and because of this I can’t post new items in my shop, so my reach is limited to people I know on Facebook. And honestly, I haven’t had a problem up until now when everyone is fucking telling me they want to buy stuff from me, but then THEY DON’T FUCKING PAY ME, AND THEN HAVE THE BALLS TO ASK HOW THEIR ORDER IS COMING ALONG OR TOTALLY GHOST ME AFTER TELLING ME YES, THEY DEFINITELY WANT SOMETHING.

OR, OR I have people asking me about shit they’ve bought from me years ago that I either A) don’t make anymore, or B) have very limited stock of and have to FIND it after I moved at the end of 2020.

I have been very transparent on my profile that I have not been well the last several weeks (short of announcing that I’m pregnant- we’re still waiting to do that until this complication that put me on light duty is resolved). I feel sick, my body hurts, I’ve had trouble staying awake when I need to because I’m having trouble staying asleep for more than thirty minutes at a time, and I don’t have the energy to do anything that requires me getting out of bed since I’ve been home.
