🌌 we are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars
I’m a public servant, so while it’s easy to tell people I work for The Government, it’s a lot harder to explain what I do. My job is a mish-mash of like three different roles in one of the least popular departments. When people ask, I say I work for (our version of) the DMV, and that’s usually good enough.
Charmeleon! Wartortle,
Mewtwo, Tentacruel, Aerodactyl,
Omanyte, Slowpoke…
That’s all I’ve got. I will shed a single tear in remembrance of happier days.
Damn this one’s good, I only noticed when scrolling back up.
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the difference between these icons:
Another clue it isn’t Quebec is that Quebec wouldn’t bother having a separate US section when the States are just a couple hours drive away.
You’re either an Aquarius or a Libra.
There are three feline modern constellations: Leo, Leo Minor, and Lynx. They’re adjacent, so they’re all visible around the same time.
Leo’s heliacal rising from mid-northern latitudes is around early September. Alternatively, it is most easily visible in the evening in early May. So either early May or early September could be considered the “cat days”!
Congrats on getting the job!
You know what, the high arctic probably looks similar to that prehistoric moss-covered landscape. Because moss is pretty much the only thing that can survive there (and some very small plants).
No regrets. The dream was unrealistic; the path to it filled with shitty pay, shitty people, and shitty tasks - all for a 0.001% chance of success. I realized I preferred having a normal life and enjoyed my youth instead. My current life is more enjoyable than chasing the dream ever was.
The joke would have worked a lot better if Larry’s friends were different shapes. There’s no visual reason why Larry is the only one that can act as the key.
That’s a good one, I like it too!
No more Pauli exclusion principle. I’m not smart enough to describe what that world would look like… which is exactly why I would do it.
When you do, please post a picture of her expression so we can compare with the fox’s.
It’s a close call between kidney stone (the initial dislodgement from the kidney into the urether) and labour… Kidney stone wins because it had the element of surprise, extremely rapid escalation (0 to 100 in less than 10 minutes), and unlike labour contractions it just. kept. going nonstop until I got those sweet sweet IV drugs.
Omg I have to do this for my brother! Doom was one of the first computer games we ever played. Also hello fellow owner of a gummy bear needleminder!
“And there’s a funny thing about honesty; there’s no two ways about it.”
This quote from Lassie Come-Home comes up whenever I’m not sure if I should be honest about something bad that I’ve done. It’s a pretty good motto.
That, and “Smile, tomorrow will be worse.”
Never be afraid of paramedics, they aren’t there to rat you out. They just want to know what they need to do to make you better/not worse. They hate paperwork as much as anyone, and a dead patient is a ton of paperwork.
But back before medication, that frustration would just stick in my brain.
Yes! Exactly that. What you call emotional stickiness I call spiralling. Before meds, once something upset me it was nearly impossible to stop. That minor annoyance made me feel anxious and upset, which in turn reminded me of other times I felt that way, and it all amplified.
I’m glad you’re in a better place. Remember, if you can’t make your own neurotransmitters, store-bought are fine. 👍
