for real tho i'm so much better at video games with ok pain meds on board

note: this is not as much of a joking status as it may first appear because y'all, it is BUCKWILD how much BETTER AT VIDYER GAEMS i get when my pain is properly controlled!!!!!!!

god nerfed me by making me a #spoonie because otherwise i'd be too good at video games and make everyone cry

aldi, my dear, if i could bag my own groceries quickly and reliably, i would be working as a grocery store bagger, not being disabled at home....

so i'm pretty psyched to be able to pay instacart to do that bit for me LOL

i really like the concept of aldi, the idea of store brands only (but quality store brands), etc etc. but real talk

a lot of the things that get cut as minor conveniences for abled folk make it impossible for my disabled ass to shop there

guess which spoonie just discovered instacart delivers aldi to her door

so "woomy" is "booyeah", but what is squidkid for "koba and lui, i'm gonna need you to get the fuck off my shoulders 'cos i can't fucking carry you" #Splatoon2 (yes this happened last night and i'm still salty about it)

my dog has never howled as far as i know but she WILL give plaintive little 'hrooo's along to outkast's 'roses'

"oh, look at poor fallen america! so racist! so full of race problems! i'm so glad nothing of the sort happens over here in enlightened europe!!"

I MAY HAVE SOME BAD NEWS FOR YOU ABOUT WHERE AMERICA GOT THOSE RACIST IDEAS, MY DUDE

basically every time i see yankee nonsense about how only the southern us is racist/bad

i just sort of want to hoist a boombox on my shoulders just let some classic wordsmiths take it away by repeating the chorus over and over: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWju37TZfo0

"yankees saying their shit don't stink".

guess what y'all, it's not just the south that is racist!

and the assumption that the south is full of idiots who deserve misfortune is, in fact, also pretty fucking racist!

also i am greatly missing one emoji from discord, and that is :onomichi:.

yes i have a yakuza server in there for the emojis.

but also this orange's expression of quiet suffering is an INTENSELY relateable mood, good for MANY occasions (not just disappointing children, as shown)

i feel like you can definitely assemble your own joke out of the fact that i went on a rant about how sincerity is worthwhile even though it's not as likely to get you boosts and internet fame,

and that is now going semi-viral with people faving and boosting it. just pip pip pwip like mastodon popcorn over here

i was sitting here wishing sadly that i had the makings of cheese toast, but no bread

then i remembered

GARLIC NAAN IN THE FREEZER

🧀 🍞 ❗ ❗ ❗

@BestGirlGrace @CCTop god yeah, the original lyrics go OFF lol.

i think it was a solid piece of media that really had the message of "war sucks", very emphatically, and in a way that probably hadn't rocked the american consciousness in a good while - you can draw parallels between post-ww1 rise of modernism, but by the time M*A*S*H aired, a lot of that had been spackled over with patriotism.

still amusing that the show lasted longer than the actual korean war tho lol

@BestGirlGrace yeah, it is a bit of a whiplash at times

though i think a lot of these things improve in the later seasons - for one thing that's when they let maj. houlihan be an actual person instead of just a flat piece of cardboard with two balloons taped to it, lol.

it might make it less wince-worthy coming at it from an angle of "compared to the contemporaries here, it's seriously ahead of the game on this angle"

@bamfic which honestly i'm not totally against - i mean my coping strategies are ripped directly from dr. hawkeye pierce off M*A*S*H half the damn time - but i get worried when seeing that become the entire mode of communication

i feel like that's such an easy way to end up floating in space, unmoored and untethered, and so detatched even to yourself, and that's a scary place to be. trying to work on mental health with absolutely no footing or grounding is so hard.

so i worry lol

@Elizabeth at least you get a minion out of it!!! \o/

also don't be too nervous, i promise that ffxiv weddings are not super serious business! :> they're just good fun to go take some adorable screenies. there's not even really time to get stuck in to rp, too, since it's scheduled and all. ^0^

...it is a very nice lip balm though.

though it does sting a little sometimes. i think that might be the macadamia nut oil? i should probably avoid macadamia nuts if this is the taste (but uh. macadamia nuts tastey.........)

geekchiccosmetics makes a nice buttery lip balm tho.
