Again reminded that my features are so rounded and Germanic you can basically describe it as “resting Bach face.”

i feel the hardest capitalist thing to de-internalize is the idea that the larger a company is the more reliable it is. that wal-mart is more trustworthy than a convenience store, that papa john's is cleaner by default than a local pizzeria. it's so ingrained but so false

Behold the garden in which I grow the fucks I use at work.

Behold the barrel of salt I keep nearby, in case I catch sight of greenery in this plot.

There is more sugar in one single can of Coke than in an entire 25 lb bag of salt.

Shower thought: Lawyers aren't all bad, but the majority of work available to them sure is.

I made a userstyle that makes emojos larger on hover userstyles.org/styles/150165/m

makes it easy to see those good good custom emojos

I wanted to do a tooltip but that would require more than just CSS (can't use ::before or ::after on image tags)

I'm a blush vampire

I feed off of other people's blushing by proximity alone. :D

Hey so, there's been a bit of a kerfuffle with Patreon lately after a terms of service change that threatens all sex workers

There's now an open letter to Patreon to please not do that openlettertopatreon.com/

The idea of folks losing their livelihood overnight for reasons I cannot see as justified is terrifying, and there's no Patreon alternative either.

US Politics 

If you haven't yet heard what Jeff Flake [R-AZ] had to say on the Senate floor yesterday, I highly recommend watching this video.

PSA about call center workers 

Call center work is grueling and soul-destroying work, as anyone who's worked at one will attest. Why is this? Well, call centers are usually a consumer's last resort for help. They've usually already gotten themselves upset before they think to call. Much yelling and grumpiness ensues.

We can help!! If you're having a really good experience with a thing, call the call center and give them positive feedback. It'll totally improve their day, I guarantee it. ♥️

I keep looking out my window and thinkin' about all the things I want to do to the yard :D :D

(Hint: Paver stone walkways, a leveled patio and fountain in front, and all the things in back)

More meds babbling 

Experiences with ADHD at varying drug levels:

Unmedicated: Unable to focus on nearly anything; quick to frustration when trying to accomplish tasks requiring more than 5 minutes

Properly medicated: I do the HELL out of anything I think about, sometimes before I realize I'm doing it, which can be a problem-- must be conscious of what I'm giving attention to

Undermedicated: Able to focus for short bursts that are then interrupted, unable to re-focus. Crying out of frustration.

Related experience with changing drug manufacturers 

I have weapons grade ADHD and lately I've been struggling to focus while on my meds. They also changed from the usual orange to a blue color recently...

Turns out the new manufacturer has produced a TON of complaints from others who're having similar experiences to mine.

I've been driving myself crazy because of how hard it's been to focus lately. It's good to know it's not just me at least!! Now I can get it fixed. :D

PSA about prescription drug manufacturers 

If a drug you're prescribed changes in appearance, it's usually because the pharmacy switched to a different manufacturer.

If you're feeling off and your meds changed appearance, it could be the meds! Check online reviews of that manufacturer and drug to see if anyone else is reporting similar symptoms. Arm yourself with knowledge!

You can look up the pill by shape, appearance & markings at this website to find the manufacturer.
