Times were wild.

Thank you.

A big part of why I have severe anxiety to this day is because I was exposed to traumatic things far too young/quickly. I was pushed into situations where I was not ready or emotionally/mentally equipped to handle. Constantly.

Exposure is only good if a person is ready for it. Desensitization is only helpful when you are equipped to handle such a thing.

I had an ex who would say that we were doing one thing, then take me to do something completely different, then boast that he was “helping me”, which only heightened my fears in the end. As a foil to that, I had an ex after that who was encouraging and supportive and kind, and gently led me into the same situations, where I knew what I was getting into. Guess how which one had me overcoming my fears?

Exposure works best if you are prepared for the exposure and have the support you need in those kind of situations.

I am always thankful for trigger warnings.

Honey. C’mon.

Can’t a man blast “Family Guy Funny Moments 3-Hour Compilation” in his 17 million dollar mansion in peace???

The formalizer is great when I don’t want to think too hard to try and be polite (I can be pretty blunt).

The chef is great, too! I have trouble eating good things and coming up with meal plans.

The magic to-do list os my favorite. Breaks everything down into simple, manageable steps! Love it so much!

Alarms for everything!

Really does something to that primal human instinct in the back of your brain, doesn’t it?

The BBB is just Yelp wearing a fancy suit.

Off my ADHD meds, I typically sleep for around 10 to 12 hours on average and also have to take naps throughout the day.

I can get nothing done due to being sleepy all the damn time.

Yes.

(sorry)

I have too many to fit them into relevant posts.

I used to put my cat’s kibble in a bit of water so it’d get soft (and it’d trick him into staying hydrated, too). It’s great for picky eaters and elderly pets!

I feed my pet things that I eat, too! Collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, various squashes, fresh blueberries, etc.

Except for his bugs. I don’t like cockroaches or worms very much. But he seems to like them! So he gets those, too.

I used to hitchhike, and one day, got a ride with a trucker hauling blackened animal organs to be turned into pet food (they were blackened as a mark to show they were unfit for human consumption at the place where they were mass harvested). It was the worst smell I’ve ever smelled in my entire life. I remember gagging for a few minutes as the driver laughed and told me what the deal was.

Still not the worst road story I have lol.

But be aware of what your pet’s food is made from. Or make your own, if you’re worried about it!

There’s typically warning against eating pet food on the bags for that very reason.

Question from a dummy: why should you use a VPN when visiting?

Fursuiters will use any costume event as an excuse to break out & wear their suit. And can you blame them? They’re expensive! They wanna get as much use out of them as possible. Plus… it’s fun!

Honestly, love to see it.

I am learning all kinds of new and alarming things today!

Thank you!

I was suspicious of that guy!

It’s been removed.👍Thank you!

Oh, I labeled the cords & disconnected them to clean. Slid the side off to give everything a thorough shine!

Problem is: this cables connect to this big ho (which I also had to clean very very heavily).

Looking into my trash, it’s more like half a bucket, the other half being crumpled paper towels.

Sadly, I only remembered to take a single one before the process started. You can see an alarming amount of dust on certain parts if you look closely.

Warning for tech-gore, maybe? Again, I’m not a tech person. The back has always been partially open. This was built by someone else, and it’s… probably not standard.
