Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

so anyway i'm gonna just chill today, maybe grind more in the stupid anime game while blasting vaporwave, and try to not become a being of pure anxiety that begins to glitch through the floor as if i were programmed by bethesda

so my mom was scheduled for her heart cath procedure at 8:30 this morning. they woke her up to begin preparing her at 4am.

it is now 2pm, they still haven't started lol.

i'm guessing this means another day lost to stress, they might keep her overnight, and it's a good thing i stocked up on groceries.

@Tenshi@yiff.life honestly, i'm still very new to masto and i get the same feeling sometimes. i think it's connected with the like... very format of the medium, so to speak. coming from tumblr (where i could blather to my heart's content), it seems very much like a platform for jettisoning quips into the ether. but i think this can be combatted by surrounding yourself with people who are willing to make those connections and don't see them as 'impolite', perhaps? (or maybe i'm talking out my ass here)

YEAH I HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT EITHER, i went to my doctor all panicky and worrying that it was actually like idfk, fucking lupus or some shit, but nah. it's just that shit

it's not even a big deal. it's just that there is a lil yeast buddy that normally lives on your skin and causes no problems whatsoever, but every so often your immune system UTTERLY FLIPS THE FUCK OUT ABOUT IT so the anti-fungal creams are the fix to get said immune response to also calm the fuck down.

@dankwraith ....honestly if the can is intact and not bulging or distorted, and doesn't spurt out any gunk when opened, you're probably fine.

they'll likely taste ...non-optimal, but according to recs they've probably got like 3 more years in em

oh hey i might know something helpful for this

are you sure it's dandruff? bc i had what i thought was very upsetting bad dandruff into my eyebrows but it turned out that why the dandruff shampoo wasn't working is because... it was seborrheic dermatitis, which sounds far more dramatic than it actually is, and is pretty simple to knock the fuck out

you can test that theory by getting an antifungal cream on there to see if it helps (also creams are easier to wangle than shampoo around eyes tbh)

@velexiraptor oh ok good!

tbh i'm often that out of the loop myself LOL so take that rambling then mainly as me rebutting the dude popping in all "JUST THOUGHTCRIME"

"what has louis ck been accused of?"
"THOUGHTCRIME"

my dude i am fairly certain getting your dick out and masturbating on somebody is no longer a thoughtcrime. it's a dick crime. it's a crime done with the dick

@velexiraptor the article has more details but it's basically that he managed to pin several women into a situation where they felt unable to say no and then justified it to himself as "well they didn't say no to me pulling my dick out and masturbating at them, so it's fine!" right up until the people he harassed this way came forward together.

so... a bit more than thoughtcrime, even without the latest stuff in there

@velexiraptor i'm not sure about the more recent stuff, but during the metoo movement's peak (or aroundabouts), despite making a lot of jokes paying lip service to how women get unfairly harassed and it's wrong etc., he admitted to incidents of sexual harassment/sexual misconduct

he admitted to this and promised to 'step back' here https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/10/arts/television/louis-ck-statement.html so i'm guessing that the latest debacle is him not stepping back as much as he promised

ok, i think my cishet ass would not be an appropriate audience for Femme's Guide to the Universe, but as an girl who is not that gr8 at girling, i am well tempted to see if any of my femme/sapphic/etc. friends would like a copy that i can quickly flip through when i'm over to visit or something.

because how tf DO you get a garter belt on but panties off

@AudreyJune oh i need this book.

may i also recommend the old standby weapon of the southern belle, ready to be whipped out from a bra and stabbed into someone's heart:

"oh dear. how embarrassing for you (that you've said that/think that/etc.)".

for full effect, pair with a look of utter devastating sympathy, a shake of the head, perhaps a "poor dear." or - for the true coup de grace - "bless your heart" before going to investigate the punch bowl.

@lyliawisteria this took me a hot second but then i groaned in real life in a way that made my dog momentarily very concerned for my wellbeing (and she considered trying to get in my mouth to investigate further). Excellently done

the next scene i need to write

is harry and ginny potter having a married couple conversation about if they should buy a trash incinerator, and whether to watch 101 Dalmations or Lilo and Stitch that evening with their chinese takeout.

so you know

VERY exciting, INTENSE ACTION kinda fanfic,

anyway stay tuned if "and then harry potter as an adult running on too much coffee and cigarettes as really bad coping strategies for ptsd ends up head detective on a case of trying to figure out who murdered these people who happen to all be stepsiblings with their dad being voldemort; takes a small detour to chat with a nice snake in a parish garden" is an idea that appeals to you, because oh boy guess what i'm writing
