criminals in jail for stealing chips from babies

my period finally hit and I am Dying in combination with having apparently destroyed my legs during leg day tm on Friday. I am a shambling husk

I'm still gonna do the gym today just to walk delicately on the treadmill for half an hour probably

pippin with his philosopher's face looks like he knows exactly what he did, and he's very sorry, but he would probably do it again because who is he to deny his own nature

exactly. every day is a struggle against his baser instincts

and penny is just like "want more chips ):"

vs penny like, but i still get chip tho right

jinx

hahaha

for the record the babies also misbehaved

does that look like a shed you're allowed to go into.

I've read Narnia books they're right

the only dragon age novel I ever read was Asunder but I'm thinking about it today because I feel like I've gone from Tranquil to UnTranquil today. like I've been PMSo depresso feeling like a giant heavy soft thing was lying on me keeping me from caring about or enjoying anything

and today in contrast I am feeling Every emotion to the point of almost drowning in them

I am telling you this because when I'm in either mode I struggle to reach out or make myself visible to people, and I think the key to surviving them is getting the fuck out of my own head

autumn is literally so mean to me every year!!!!

what the hell, autumn 8( i'm sorry dude

I'm sorry you're getting both ends of the shit axis. vocalize if you gotta and if it would help to have some Activities let's hang out on discord or something

I'm always glad for Activities

hell yeah. do evenings or workdays work better for ya rn

here I'll dm

losing my shit bc I spilled a bunch of frozen peas by accident and Pip fucking DESCENDED upon them

I couldn’t sweep them up faster than he ate them

it does not help that I keep stopping to laugh

a FEAST

wow first he can't eat chips now he can't eat vegetables???

mixed messages

he clearly can eat vegetables!!

a delicious snack

just got out of a mandatory work meeting, the latter half of which was a presentation of entirely genAI art

I was irritated but doing ok bc my little breakout group was riffing on it, but then after it ended one person from my group goes on mic to say 'I didn't mind the AI actually (:'

and it's the same guy who's done this kind of thing multiple times

I am tired of explaining to people At My Own Company why it is disrespectful to use AI art

AND unethical, but also just like, read the fucking room

there are options between 'use AI art' and 'nothing' and if you can't think of any you are simply bad at thinking and/or planning

in front of the literal artists too???? Why

I'm telling you dude Nobody thinks about this first, they just say it like it's a foregone conclusion

yeah art's not a job it can be replaced by a robot without anyone noticing

it's easy right, you do it for fun

🔪 🔪

anyway the cashier at safeway said I look like lara flynn boyle so day unruined

I assume he did not mean what she ..currently looks like

lol they did not

girls

the noses

🙏

love this

good scratches

A treat to peek these in real time

excellent expression

fever boy

he's already doing better than he was when I picked him up (and he proceeded to vomit in my car), I think his fever's gone down a bit. but still having a rough one

I'm glad he's still little enough for me to carry

poor little dude

he's on the couch because he actually asked to get out of bed so we're at least not in Total KO

Aw man poor kid

it's wild bc you saw him last night, he was feral as ever

whatever this is came on quick and will hopefully be gone equally quick

aw bubs

forgot to post this earlier

a house filled with pitiful creatures

i hope all pitiful creatures feel better soon

Callen is home today and I took the day off to keep him from burning everything down

we’re just vegging and watching Sesame Street

hang on hang on. you're telling me a white man? did a gun violence??

real dog bites man story

chris and I are losing our minds a little bit bc we have a couple of friends who we've been trying to hang out with for literal years now but they just. can never make time for us. we'll invite them to something and just never hear back

but then we'll get a message like hey we're gonna be in [15 minutes away] at 5:45 wanna come out for drinks and it's like you guys!! we have a two year old!!

if you're going to be 15 minutes away you are welcome to just come here but no I cannot bring my two year old to a bar, and I also can't get him a sitter four hours before the fact!

they literally have (older) kids so it makes us insane, like you know what this is like, why are you doing this. why are we always expected to come to you or we don't get to see you at all

I would grant some grace to someone acting this way who doesn't have kids but they literally should and do know better

though I guess plenty of people fully have their toddlers out with them at 10pm so what do I know

jfchri as someone who also desires advance notice for everything in life even without the logistical issues of having a toddler, this would drive me insane

planning!!! it’s not that hard! have the courtesy to msg u guys further in advance!! or respond to the other attempts to hang! literally anything lmao

yeah and like... I get that they're busy too, they have demanding jobs etc but it feels so one-sided to always be expected to meet them where they are

or not see them at all

I outright invited them tonight to come to our house, said we'd provide drinks etc. as discussed the place they want to meet is 15 minutes away

but apparently that's too far off course for them. they can't even swing by to say hi. and it's just like... fine?

I feel bad being in my feelings about it but even without the toddler factor it'd be frustrating. it's just. we're doing this by ourselves, we don't have someone we can immediately call in to babysit, give us some fucking grace here

man i’d be so annoyed even without the toddler factor, you’re valid

yeah

like it’s. idk i don’t know these people but that treatment feels p rude/disrespectful, that it can only ever happen on their schedule but never yours

apparently they're too "on the strugglebus" to make the arduous 15 minute journey over here. their idea of compromise is that one of us goes and the other one stays home with callen, which like

chris and I are on the same page at least, lol, we formed a hard line. whatever we do, we do it all three together or not at all

15 minutes.......

it's been a hard week with callen getting sick and nobody's going to get left in the lurch so that our inflexible friends can see one of us

another frustrating since I'm jsut bitching now but the male half of this couple also tends to Only invite chris out despite having been my friend/coworker first. like before callen was born chris would get asked out of the blue if he wanted to go have a drink

at their wedding he introduced us as Chris, [job] and Chris' partner Cami

we have been pretty good friends throughout the time we've known each other but I have been sidelined a lot and just learned to get used to it. so basically i'm glad chris is taking a hard stance on this one (even if they didn't express a preference for who comes out)

I'm glad I live in the modern era because I would be fully out of my mind fucking nuts if I had to exist as a female person in any era where I'm not allowed to cuss or have my own money

why do I put up with people treating me this way? that's society babey

You're a better person than me I'd have dumped these friends.

^ seconding

it mega sucks because we actually moved out here as a result of the guy giving me a job. he was our first friend out here. I still love them both but I wish they would Not Do This

anyway gonna have a nice weekend. my cousin's coming over tomorrow with his wife, yippee hooray

they live very close to us and he didn't tell me they'd moved from ARKANSAS so I yelled at him and am punishing them with dinner and hangouts

he and I were thick as thieves growing up and I'm so glad he is now my closest family member geographically

arkansas???

that's very exciting. also your friends suck but if they were good friends in the past i hope eventually your hang-out styles and abilities realign in the future. but also you should introduce that guy as his partner's partner forever.

I know you didn't do it to cash in imaginary friendship points down the line but I do frown a lil given the way youve previously rearranged your life a ton to help these specific friends. hope they're just going thru a weird season and y'all can link back up

aw man that guy sucks, I'm mad at him 😠 it might be born of like "respecting his bro's claim" or some bullshit, but it's so disrespectful to you :\ I'm really glad Chris is with you on this, fuck em

I think about that a lot. there are some things in up here in 2025 that could use uhh some help, but, thank God we can say fuck and open bank accounts

shambolism yeah that’s not lost on me and it is frustrating. I’m trying not to linger on it but. yeah

ty others also. It’ll be ok. I have good friends too!! You are among them

ahhhhhhhhh

bus driver

Callen is having a rough day so we finally caved and put on Cars. we will never be able to close Pandora’s box after this

RIP our lives

ka-CHOW

yeah these guys sadly sound like jerks although the bit about inviting Chris out on his own at least could've just been a guy trying to solidify a friendship with him/make some male friends, though the introduction thing is then weird and lame

I've got a pal who moved out here recently with her boyfriend and he's great but knows nobody except through her and now me and it's basically all women so if there were another dude brought to something I could see him latching on
