i'm also not too proud to admit that practical concerns aside, a field of pretty white cows that have been stencilled with blue willow china designs would be a very strong aesthetic statement

sir george sitwell did have one truly excellent idea, which is this quote, which i am tempted every time i see it to make it a pinned banner on every social media account i have:

“I must ask anyone entering the house never to contradict me in any way, as it interferes with the functioning of the gastric juices and prevents my sleeping at night.”

@sporks@snouts.online i imagine the umbral mozz is this lad

@InspectorCaracal i admit my fav "got too much money gotta show people that i have too much money" idea around that era (or rather a tad later) was the british eccentric who kept a field of white cows but had them all painted with a blue willow china pattern to make them prettier https://historythings.com/historys-nutcases-sir-george-sitwell/

my dad is planning to make little videos for all the niblings of granddad explaining science concepts

👼 me: oh what a nice idea, now they get to watch it over and over

😈 me: I WONDER HOW MANY TIMES I CAN GINGERLY CRASH HIS RECORDING AND HAVE MY EEVEE OR CARBUNCLE PLUSHIES JUST GALLOPING IN THE BACKGROUND AND WAVING HELLO

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz i guess it's a pretty good testa-mint to your perseverance

today's truth:

let's plays are little sibling culture

don't at me you know i'm right

p.s. it's not terribly effective

i call this new #spoonie move the 'bartleby the scrivener', when the pain starts climbing up my jaw i just yell I WOULD PREFER NOT TO

@fluffy that's very fair! i know that i'm probably saying shit you're way on top of, but i wanted to lean in the door and note that the things exist in the 5% chance it was useful LOL

@fluffy (they are however expensive as fuck, but if the mask fitting doesn't work out, then that means you can go to duke it out with insurance as best equipped as possible to get them to pay for the fucking thing)

@fluffy honestly i think it would help immensely - i know it has helped the minor bruxism i had (very pain + sleep = gnaw gnaw gnaw, thanks asleep me, you Asshole, you Fool, you Knave) - basically it could function like a very fancy splint (that also moves your jaw forward, preventing your throat from collapsing so you can still breathe unimpeded)

@fluffy just tossing this out there as i drive by the timeline -

could it be a low-level anxiety thing working against you? honestly i can't tolerate CPAP/APAP at all - it just sets off some deep lizard brings AAAA SMOTHERING panic.

there is the dental appliance solution to sleep apnea too that you may want to ask about. it's basically like wearing a retainer, so there's no stuff to wear on your face. it does make the jaw sore sometimes, but is a thing worth knowing?

listen, when i said "i hope this steroid injection does something", i wanted something HELPFUL, not "have (another) acne breakout, and also, now you get 15 Minutes Crushing Anxiety about once a day"

also sad and mad about my friends having to go through bullshit, and having no way to help them, or even spoons to help them research

feeling a bit useless and upset, more or less.

at least i got ranch pasta salad?

me: boy i'm glad that the fediverse has a different culture than other parts of the internet, dominated by whatever topics 12 year old boys most like yelling at each other in middle school

fediverse: here's grossout humor but actually i faked it. it is a social experiment, and i am the most clever

fediverse: that IS the most clever, let us talk about this endlessly! and in ways that are impossible to filter!!

me: ah... i see...
