Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

idk if i will be able to pull myself together to actually do a proper bit of rp of me staffing the place for an evening but goddammit if i didn't have a satisfying evening of researching this stuff anyway

can you express your love for #ffxivrp by making menus? idk but i'm gonna try to find out. #ffxiv http://bit.ly/wassailbunc

@Jacki@radical.town i feel like this could be a great way to corner the lucrative sex worker *and* life coach markets

"10/10, this has been the first time i've actually enjoyed doing my taxes and wiping down the baseboards" - a potential review

need to go out somewhere? anxious about being out? i can wear these things i'm excited to wear. and there goes some of that roadblock.

vitamin pills just too big? okay. we'll take some gummi vitamins instead.

hands dry? we'll get some hand cream that is nice to use and make sure to carry it around.

every little thing helps. every little opportunity to take care of yourself better counts, and it all adds up. nothing is too small, and nothing is too big either.

a big part of self care, the part that isn't as glamorous but i think is much more important, is "how do i make this easier. how do i streamline."

but both approaches to me boil down to the same thing: "how do i make it easier to rebut my own excuses for not doing something that is good for me?"

so yeah, it means using the fancy soap, or putting on the glittery eyeliner, or planning a cute outfit, or doing stuff that seems a bit silly

like i just ordered an electric kettle for my bathroom. a fancy one where you can set the temp quite low. why? because it will make that one step easier to do daily neti pot rinses, and i know if i keep up neti pot rinses, i am much less bothered by sinus gunk.

honestly, it may be very commercialized and fluffy, but an aspect of self care i have really really appreciated lately is looking at situations and going:

"how can i make this into something that's fun instead of something i dread doing?"

god it feels good to have a smoof face tho

i'm not going to bust out any of the big words like 'dysphoria' because i just am a cis girl with pcos i don't need to be up yoinking someone else's narrative, but man, having face fuzz is kinda like a low-level debuff ticking away over your head. i feel so so so much better now, especially after treating myself to a nice new razor cartridge.

i remembered why i don't use my fancy at-home laser hair removal thing:

it scares my dog

i keep hearing notification pwips and all my notifications are "1 hour ago... 5 hours ago..." and it's driving me a little mad? i think mastodon tries to thread notifications but maybe someday i will be able to find a way to toggle it to strict chronological order

until then i'm gonna miss stuff oh well.

time to go take a shower

now THIS is the GOOD CONTENT

positive possum meme time? positive possum meme time

i keep wondering what clout is, after seeing it mentioned vaguely, but you know, i think perhaps it's just better if i never know what it is and just never let that take up any space in my head whatsoever.

this...... is the stupidest thing that has made me laugh on the internet so far today

real footage of me after you tell me "oh btw x is coming over in about 15"

i love my dad but holy shit, i need more than 30 minutes warning before we have company coming over

@LuminousCorvid yeah, it is expensive. :( i'm afraid i don't have many tips there, since as far as i know it's pretty hard to do it at home. i wish you the best of luck though!
