Really hate the word “lazy” and all of the moralistic Protestant Work Ethic baggage it carries.

When does a joke become a dad joke? 

When it becomes apparent.

"Pokemon Schlemiel and Pokemon Schlimazel."

Relationships don't need to be sexual or romantic to demonstrate love.
Love does not have to be expressed through sex or romance.

Mastodon culture is double-checking someone's pronouns before you subtoot and talk shit.

Just one at a good stage to share right now! Stopping to investigate is probably a terrible idea!

actual thought i had about 30 seconds before my alarm went off 

"You're listening to WRAAR Radio, the only radio station made out of a transmitter stuck to a bear! And now, the morning show!" *assorted bear noises*

HRT, patches residue, + 

Just discovered that eye makeup remover works beautifully well for removing the adhesive residue Estradot patches leave behind - just squeeze some onto a hankie, rub lightly, and it'll be gone. ^_^
