❌ you couldn't pet a wasp, they're all mean and stingy
✅ you couldn't pet a wasp, we live on such an incomprehensibly different scale from theirs that what we experience as the lightest of touches would for them be half a shove. do you know why a wasp has three extra tiny eyes between the two big ones on the sides of her head? they're eyes, but not for seeing with: they're for keeping track of which way is up because gravity, which for us is an elemental force that absent excessive ingenuity tethers us forever to the solid earth which is our home, for her is merely a suggestion, and quite a gentle one at that. the heights to which wasps fly are limited much less by their barely more than negligible mass, than by the temperature of the air into which they ascend, and in flight they travel miles in minutes then unerringly return to exactly where they started. th

Hey, I'm a disabled queer person who has suffered domestic abuse and as a result, I'm not able to work as much as I'd like.
I've been making pretty significant strides with professional help, but I'm not where I need to be yet. Things have been really hard for the past month where i've been struggling with my antidepressant medication and am currently in between changing them. Work has been extremely slow, every day is a struggle and I don't expect things to get better quickly enough to be able to fix the following quickly enough:
- Paying the bills (£400) before they're due later this month
- Fixing a hole in my partner's balance sheet from a previous month where I couldn't pay the bills and they made up for it.
- My drawing tablet is old and the drivers no longer work on Windows 11. I can't reasonably do much digital drawing anymore, which is a big hit to my quality of life.

re: American Politics CNN Townhall
@mageuzi I mean I asked that back when he had a reality TV show so obviously I dont know.
Though if you want what I found a telling anecdote here is something from my personal life you should attach a grain of salt to:
Back in 2016 there was a period where people thought Trump wouldnt win the primary and would step out. I knew this woman at the time whose reaction was "Oh, thats a shame. He is so funny to watch"
Now this person never voted for him (honestly I would be surprised if she voted period.) but to me that always struck me as the "Oh it doesnt matter what he says he's just interesting for some to watch"
And for some connecting the antics and statements to policies and actions that actually effect their lives is very difficult
@Talcott yes, that fits. I tried to pineapple one to see if I would be an apple pine marten... it did not... go well but you should do better.
