a stray dog irl

The scutes make the texture really nice, it feels good to run my fingers over them and feel the seams Ann’s appliqués. My little motif of a heart somewhere on the design works so well in plush form it’s so cute!

Its little face is so darling. I went with two barbels instead of the four that real sturgeons have so it wouldn’t clutter the design and it works really well. Its smile is so sweet and gentle, its little snout is absolutely perfect, and it’s just so CUTE!!!

The size is also great. It’s around 52 cm long, and when I spoke to a sturgeon conservationist and ons if my latest aquarium visits, he said that makes the Silly Sturgeon the same size as a 1-2 year old real-life sturgeon! It’s literally a little baby!!!

I sleep with it alongside the Silly Coelacanth. It is so soft and it fits perfectly in my arms. I’ve been having a rough past couple of days (I’m doing alright now!) and holding it is really comforting. I’m proud to have made something that can give that feeling to myself, and I can really hope it can give that to others! I LOVE THIS THING SO MUCH!!!

"oh, you've got allergies? shoot this goop up your noise" "your eyes are dry? goop in your eyes." "your skin on your arms is rough? hmm, I don't know… have you tried GOOP?"

being a mammal is already way too goopy for my tastes, and all this goop medicine is just making it worse

doctor I think I'm a girl

ahh, there is a simple solution: here's some goop to stick in you. it's special girl goop.

you've still got too much boy goop in you though, so you also need this special anti-boy-goop goop.

(my insurance won't cover the goop 😟

my hair keeps thinning because that's what the boy goop does to you when you're 41, and I'm loathe to try treating it because guess what the treatment for male pattern baldness is IT'S GOOP!

it's not just medical things either. I need to redo my hair color soon. and how does hair dye work? oh right, it's goop.

lemme go take a shower. first I need to shave with the special shave goop, then I've got two kinda of hair goop, not to mention my body goop, then I wash it all off with the original goop of them all, water.

being a mammal is just goop all the way down

sorry for any typos in this rant, I can't see the screen very well because my eyes are full of goop this is special medical goop because my eyes aren't properly making enough of their own, built-in goop. I'm having to use store-bought eye-goop, sigh.

hell, "mammal" is named after our class's defining feature: TASTY MOM GOOP

and don't get me started on sex & kissing "hey baby, wanna trade some goop?"

WE NAMED OUR WHOLE FUCKING GALAXY AFTER TASTYMOMGOOP

YOU CANNOT ESCAPE THE GOOP

my personal explanation for the fermi paradox isn't that space is too big, or we're alone, or they've got a Prime Directive, it's not even that we're made of meat or that crime against sapience thing with the moon lizards (long story): it's that we're just too fucking goopy for them to deal with

the aliens don't want to come down and say hi, out of the quite reasonable fear that we'll get some of our goop on them

ugh, I'm tired and having trouble concentrating today. maybe I should drink some special plant goop to get me going

that's right

Instead of a cutesie reference to film censorship it was an explicit statement of defiance of Maryland's criminalization gay sex, which was not repealed until 2002. This wasn't a guy saying "Oh they can't put what I do in the movies according to a completely voluntary industry code" he was saying "The State of Maryland wants to put me in jail for being gay and having gay sex."

happy 250 to this stupid thing i drew in middle school that apparently made its way into american classrooms over time, sorry

she said that underwire bras aren't typically made with trans women's' ribcages in mind, but that if you have smaller boobs a soft bralette or sports bra is totally fine. it's also possible that bras made for drag will fit, but she wasn't sure how helpful that would be and neither was I, since we're not talking about a boob plate here. i was asking on behalf of some of my friends who have naturally big boobs after horomones though, and she told me that if your breast tissue feels unsupported or you're getting new back pain that you think is coming from there, your best bet is to get fitted at a small boutique, and that there are higher band sizes that you can try.

I told her some of the girls I know are scared to do this and she reccomended to have someone call the place for you and ask outright, being upfront that you're nervous about it, and then base your decision on how they react. but also that most independent bra stores are probably friendly because they're being run by hippies. At a chain like victoria's secret or something they're not going to carry higher band sizes at all, plus you're never gonna be able to tell who you'll get at a chain, so she recommends calling a smaller place where you can really get a read on the people there from talking on the phone.
