Listen you starfire snugglebutton, some days you can do everything right and feel great and be firing on all cylinders and still get side swiped with surprise pain. It happens. That’s okay. Do meds, water, moisturize. Take care of you for tomorrow.

In case you were wondering you are doing so much better than you think you are. You should do that thing you’re scared of. Also take your meds and have some water and put on the moisturizer. You’re doing great.

Every year I forget until like night two and am like “idek where my menorah is” this year we’re making it work. Chag Samaech to those celebrating and love and healing for Australians Jews.

Is the “it doesn’t feel right” down to intuition or executive dysfunction. A choose your own adventure starring me.

Did you do something interesting today? Notice I didn’t say “great”. I know you did at least one great thing today because you either took your meds or had some water or moisturized. If you did more than one you’re extraordinary.

Remember that you can’t judge the finish by the middle. Sometimes it might seem hopeless. That’s your brain lying to you. The process is a jumble. That’s normal. It’s supposed to be that way. You’re going to make it. I promise. Remember your meds.

Unclench your jaw relax your shoulders and for fuck’s sake move your pinky finger from the bottom of your phone, you’re not a double jointed slinky. Oh and take your meds, have some water, and moisturize something so you stop with the Brillo heels.

Did you remember to eat today? I want you to take your meds and drink some water too, but food is also important. Grazing counts but only if it filled you up as much as you’re comfortable with.

I hope your day has at least one unexpected pleasure like a friendly pupper in need of scritchies. And I hope you took your meds and had some water and maybe remembered to moisturize.

You are kicking all of Sunday’s ass, my bitty nut muffin. I knew you could do it. You even took your meds, probably. Did you have water? Remember to moisturize before bed! I believe in you.

Sure you’re in the nopes right now because some brains are weird, but your ass looks amazing and you’re totally right about that one thing. So take your meds and have some water and do something tomorrow when nope is done.

Unicorns don’t whinny. They open their mouths and Enya falls out. This has been fun facts with Aviva. Remember your meds. Drink some water and moisturize something.

“Don’t feed the artist. Buy their art. They will feed themselves.” ~Maimonides, probably.

Remember your meds, have some water, moisturize something. All important things for artists and laymen. ~Still (likely) Maimonides

Guess what guess what guess what guess what?

You should take your meds if you haven’t yet. Also, water. Reasons.

Make no apologies for what brings you joy. Be militant in your pursuit of your own happiness. Don’t hurt anyone (least of all yourself) and be happy. Remember your meds, drink some water, and moisturize your face. Fuck them.

I am incredibly fortunate in that I have an abundance of stuff and am in a position to share when someone expresses a need. This post brought to you by the lady I just bombarded with 20 questions on size and style preference for a woman in the community who has a need for work wear. 1/2

It’s okay if you have to rest sometimes. Your body knows what it needs. Just don’t forget your meds. Be sure to drink your water because you need to be hydrated to be healthy. And moisturize your face, just for fun.
December 2, 2025 at 12:02 AM
If someone tells you they can’t give you anything but love remind them sarcasm is also freely on offer. Then ask if they took their meds and drank water and moisturized cause those things are also a solid choice. (You took your meds right?)

When was the last time you went through your beauty products and trashed anything expired? (General timeline for those so inclined to follow — I’m so not joking about this) 1/8

Today is a good day to make Mychal Threets proud of you. Read a book that brings you joy. Some people read by listening. Some people read by touch. Some people read with their eyeballs. All reading is reading. Remember your meds and have some water!

If you’re worried that nobody cares and you over share, remember you’re being too hard on yourself. Also take your meds, have some water, and moisturize something. Making good choices is a solid decision. You’re loved, don’t you forget it.

Listen, sometimes self care is eating a cold pork chop sandwich standing up in the kitchen super late, but hey you’re still winning because you met your goal and had protein for dinner and it wasn’t takeout. Remember your meds, have some water.

I hope you had a fun Wednesday! I hope it was full of cool things and you got to give scritchies to an animal of your choice. I also hope you remembered your meds and had some water. Don’t forget to moisturize before bed!

What’s the difference between a cat and a comma? One has claws in its paws and one has a pause in its clause. Take your meds, drink your water, moisturize something.
November 26, 2025 at 12:40 AM
Don’t forget your meds. Have some moisturizer before bed and maybe slap some water in your face. Something like that.
