More Gross To Love

balls are stored in the pee

kidney stones

oh my GOD i hope no one realizes i have multiple facets

free use is kind of a funny kink bc it relies on the idea that everybody wants to touch you and have sex with you but what if they don't. what if you tell everybody at the party you're free use but they all ignore you and mind their own business

I like how from the perspective of a follower someone getting their life together to the point that they no longer post is exactly indistinguishable from them getting killed by a gas explosion

It’s not senseless violence to me, not if it’s you

Unironically I think this meme is really good for explaining why maths formalisms and notation are so valuable, even when they seem cumbersome/convoluted. It's an incredibly precise way to describe the interaction of a lot of related-but-meaningfully-distinct concepts, and this is a great showcase of that, thank you Lynn Chordbug you're the best.

I really love Jacob Anderson

whenever people express feelings to the effect of "i'm glad soulsov isn't super popular because fandom wouldn't be able to handle it" i think, with kindness, "don't speak that on me." i have very little interest in what Fandom Can Handle and a completely unremarkable desire to make money

one might think, "well that's awfully cynical." of course making money is not my primary motivator in writing the weirdo vn that has all but consumed me over the past few years. i even considered going with "desire to see fanart of my characters," something which inspires more genuine fondness in me. it's just that whenever people talk as if the impact of lukewarm fandom discourse on my daily life could possibly outweigh the impact of 100,000 people each giving me 10 dollars, i can only roll my eyes at best. let's be honest with each other here

There's always a moment of intense cultural whiplash whenever I realize I'm talking to someone who thinks "legal" and "illegal" are meaningful categories and ascribes innate goodness to following the law. It's like meeting a space alien.

Like ppl will say things to me like "But that's Against The Law 😱" or "but they Broke The Law 😱" like sinners in the hands of an angry God and idk what to do w/ that

Hell, many people with headache disorders don't even know that preventives & abortives are an option. Because they're told by everyone including their doctors that they just need to improve their lifestyle — stuff like drink more water, lose weight, watch what you eat, reduce your stress, get enough sleep. Which, as you know if you have one, is all very hard to do with an unmedicated chronic pain condition.

There are in fact lots of options that work for many people. My chronic cluster headaches are completely managed with a specific blood pressure medication (verapamil) and a CGRP inhibitor. Down from an average of 16 attacks per month and up to 3 per day during my last cluster period/bout to 0-2 a month since the verapamil started working. Proper meds can genuinely change your life.

And even if you have a family doctor who is confident and good at prescribing and managing cgrp inhibitors, the fucking insurance companies just say fucking no. I regularly am filled with hate for having to try alllll kinds of bullshit before the Medication That Works. Or they make me give my patient atogepant (the cgrp inhibitor that has the highest side effect rate and that I just do not prescribe because of how it sucks shit) and wait for them to get sick from it before dragging ass on literally anything else that works. Grrrrrrrrrr

we bought a shirt at a thrift store that says "best mom in louisiana" for some reason (as a reminder we are in midwest germany) and now my spouse keeps walking around the house wearing it and saying shit like "WHO STANDS BEFORE THE GREATEST MOM OF LOUISIANA?"

One way that so much new ~woke horror~ is bad is that people think they are the next Stephen Graham Jones but will let a dog or a cute child survive an entire novel without even a serious maiming. Weak! You know exactly what it means when a cute dog shows up in a Stephen Graham Jones story! Go and do likewise or stick to YA!

men will be like “why won’t anyone love and care about me” and an hour later be like “ALL WOMEN ARE EVIL WHORES”
