Seasonal depression bc it’s the rainy season for the next 2 months 😭 At least I cannot walk at all, let alone outside!

A fish-man on left talks to a short guy on right in blue armor with a shiny silver shield on his back. It’s gray and raining in the scene in front of a blue palace. Dialog:
Trello (fish man)
“But I do not understand... Why is the Divine Beast sending a plague of rain
to us and making the domain suffer?!”

Me: *explaining about stray and feral cats and how we leave them alone and give them space*
Smöl Boy: “so how do you get a cat?”
Me: “you find them in the trash when they’re babies.”

To get a Tdap earlier, tell the doctor or pharmacist you were working outside, in dirt, something sharp that you couldn't find punctured your skin, and the wound healed over almost immediately but you want to update your Tdap just in case.

For personal protection against contracting pertussis, not firebreak purposes on the population level, you should get the Tdap (not the Td) booster every 5 years, not every 10.

ObPeriodicReminder: If you were born before 1982 and don't have conclusive, *documented* proof of getting 2 doses of MMR, get another dose unless it's counterindicated. The second dose wasn't added to the schedule until later and a lot of us never got the catchup dose.

Genuinely begging you to re-up your MMR & get your kids vaccinated if you can. Between this & Kennedy talking about breaking it up into separate vaccines thus providing opportunities for missed inoculations &, thus, increased infections, public health policy is not looking great, for the foreseeable

South Carolina schools recently sent home unvaccinated kids to stem a growing measles outbreak. It turned out 5 of them were infected and, if they'd been at school, could've unwittingly spread it to their classmates for days.

That kind of precaution is now illegal in Idaho.

pro tip (from bestie whose mom planned galas for nonprofits) - salads on the tables before the guests sit down. that way everyone gets snax ASAP. i did this for my wedding reception, and this also gave more time for dancing.

also not ruling out an additional set of TMS, a very specific SSRI that might NOT put me to sleep, Yet Another SNRI (allegedly more refined and w/ way less side effects than other i've tried). Also will start amino acid supplements for ADHD.

anyway i'm swapping out meds and seeing what happens, since Wellbutrin stopped working / too many shitty generics and/or weird side effects. trying out a diff version of bupropion that's obscenely expensive (Aplenzin) but hey there's a copay card thru the manufacturer that didn't ask for income?

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

Behaviour Change Project: stop cats scratching new chairs

Resources: scratching post and catnip

Methodology: positive reinforcement using play and recreational drugs

Question: should more change projects include offer of drugs?

Cat scratching at new post which has catnip added to gaps.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT PRACTICE YOUR 1970S DISCO STRUT ON THE MILITARY FIRING RANGE.

A sign - in Dorset - that says 'MILITARY FIRING RANGE', with a red line struck through somebody in big-heeled shoes who looks like he might be in a 1976 episode of the TV show Soul Train. In the distance, if you look hard, you can just make out a hat that I have dropped.

How do I find a therapist for “dealing with having the wrong degrees for this timeline and the constant anxiety of knowing too much about how government used to work”
