I also got photos taken with my children as a birthday gift. They were both so well-behaved! Dulcie even posed for the camera in my arms because she was being praised for being so cute.
@ChillyWeirdo Thank you!! It's weird how well everything fell into place and I'm very glad to be paying about what I'm paying in rent but getting equity in a property instead!
Hello all, popping in here 2 say I am buying a house next month. I also turned 28 last month. My birthday was the day I offered on the house. Life is weird. I am tired. My cats will love having 1300 square feet.
I love the apothecary diaries because it demonstrates so many troubles women had to face back then. Like how Maomao is exceptional with medical practices, yet isn’t able to become a physician because she’s a woman. And not to mention the hell that is the rear palace
@clock_hands@Felicia_tattoos This was an absolutely fantastically evocative and sensory read. Thank you for sharing!!! Do you mind if I send the link to a couple friends? (I want to make sure and get permission ofc but would love to spread this work far and wide)
All of my deadlift squats have prepared me for this moment (packing a single footlocker full of my cosplay stuff for Katsucon and having it weigh 45 lbs)
@camiscribbles I only listen to them while I'm running or working out bc then I can focus on the book and not on whatever physical misery I happen to be in lmfao
@Y3LPs huehuehue as I WILL (mostly bc we're going to be talking about marketing and if I hear these children go "oh I'll just ask ChatGPT-" I will commit a violence)
Gonna lecture to my sister's college class on Tuesday and am resisting the urge to just uncork on them about how anti generative AI they should all be but alas...I must also give them other information about marketing
Yes, I do still need this
No, I'm not going to trauma-dump about why I need this
Yes, I still have some pride
No, you don't get to see any emotional reactions out of me
etc. etc. etc.
Fucking exhausting.
Also while I'm here, just saying that it feels like entering the thunderdome every time I prepare for an appointment with a new medical provider, especially when it's one who has the power to prescribe the medication I need to function
Facebook reminded me of these decade old pics so behold: Cam 2015 vs now. I was very cute back then. And now I look��.still like a child but maybe less so lmfao
