@HarryLime@hexbear.net please tell me some wolf facts or something

I'm too tapped to continue this roll call, which could definitely go on forever

Pro: I love you and the world is a better place with you in it, even if birthdays are... a mixed bag so to say

I mean, hell, my partners car popped a tire so we had to borrow her mom's car and it didn't have A/C, so we had to run our errands in 90°F+ heat and couldn't even enjoy our leisure time because we were dying from getting baked

And my birthday cake melted in the heat too, but we salvaged it

Suffice to say, there's ups and downs and believe me, sometimes those downs are downs

You are a beautiful spark in the darkness, don't let it snuff you out

i got mint, so i either will make cookies with ginger and min or try it with chili pepper (for science). Also its great in tea . But my genius will have to wait till the weekend

Helped a ton of trans people this week with resources, love seeing the relief in people's eyes when I help them out

I'm hoping your birthday is well and you post more doggo and chicken pics!

I live in a cannabis post-prohibition country, so I can grow and use my medicine without fear of being kidnapped, thrown in a cage, and tortured to death like back in the old country (Imperial Core). I hope you are able to light up and celebrate if you are so inclined.

Also, there is so much interesting shit to watch happening, you don't want to miss out!

I look forward to finishing the 2 volumes of Das Kapital, yet happy I completed the first one days ago...

and I think of traveling around countries, maybe Philippines or some other country (Southeast Asia likely; one of my parents are of such origins)

My partner made extremely yummy food! I failed to beat Malenia again today, so that's 2 days of trying, but I'll get there. I made it to phase 2 today, so it's only a matter of time!

In general, I am extremely fortunate to have made it to a point where I truly don't feel like my life is missing anything, and can reliably keep a roof over my head with some savings. I know this is more than many people can say for themselves, but I allow myself to be happy about my own position, as I'm ultimately just another worker.

I wish I could reach out and help you, but in absence of that I want to say I am here to lend an ear if you need help. It does get better. I used to think about harming myself daily, even hourly, but I can say that over time those feelings have become far less frequent. It still happens every once in a while, or I'll get extremely anxious, but forward progress keeps me hopeful.

I hope you have a happy birthday!

I'm going to go on a vacation in a couple of weeks. We go to the same place every time but, it has its charms. I feel in better shape to climb the lighthouse this year. I wish you could see the beaches too, the ones I like have their rustic charms that I enjoy and I'm sure you would too.

You ever been near the coast? If so, how did you enjoy it?

It's your birthday and your still kicking. I will make more shit posts to come

Life's good

We love you happy birthday pal

I have a dog with me who makes impressively loud snorts for his size (and without much trouble breathing, he's just really loud).

Talking to a friend, I remembered there's a setting on my keyboard that blatantly doesn't work but, because of that, it's probably the most interesting way to play it if you're fine with sacrificing dynamics. I'm going to start using it again, I don't know why I stopped.

I just finished a minecraft farm. It's a mob farm, then I filter out the gun powder. I also have a sugar cane farm, and use the new autocrafters to make rockets automatically. The redstone was complicated but felt really satisfying to finish.

Oh also my pet snake started eating again. She was on a hunger strike for some reason but ate this last time I fed her, so hopefully that's over and I'll be able to start handling her again.

I saw a post where a guy said he played Social Distortion's "Ball and Chain" on his brand new electric guitar. I haven't played guitar in more than a year. I got disgusted with my lack of musical ability so I just stopped. I couldn't remember that song. I almost started laughing when I listened to it. It's about the easiest song possible - 3 chords in a super easy strum pattern. That's it.

My goal by Monday is to pick up my guitar and play those chords until I get them right. I can even strum mindlessly as I watch speed chess online. Repetition and not dwelling on or - cough - fretting about stuff is key. Why by Monday and not - say - tonight? Um... Cat videos to watch? But in in all seriousness - I will do it. Just not right now.

I've been getting back into making radio control models which has finally helped me really look forward to doing things. It's the first time I've been able to focus on something and just think without my mind churning. I might've found a model flying club that will accept me (I'm openly and very obviously trans) but even if not I've already found someone who wants to fly with me.

I've also reconnected with someone I knew from high school and I think we might become friends. I'm looking forward to hearing from her more.

But one big event I'm looking forward to is you posting here after your birthday that you made it.

Hey what's up, I got my friend to play some video games with me which I hadn't done in a while. It's surprising how much more fun it is to do something with other people as opposed to going alone.

I wish you a happy birthday!!

I am moving to a different country to earn more than I ever have before in my life this week!

:meow-hug:

I just got my first laser hair removal yesterday. It didn't really hurt at all tbh except a bit around the lip.

Excited. In half a year, I should be presenting way differently.

It's gonna be really interesting when my friends see because I used to be famous for my impressive beard. Wanna see how long I can go hairless while saying something like, "oh yeah, I just got really good at shaving"

I have a large cat who snores like an old man

He also zooms like a kitten despite being roughly 13 pounds

I've been cooking really good meals every day for the past like 2 weeks. Made a really good corn chowder today with some garlicy bread rolls today.

Playing Elden Ring 1-2 hours every day. Gunna' try to beat it this time.

Look at this beeeeeg yawn. There's loads of good anime and games coming out if you're into those that's what I'm looking forward to. Otherwise I'm sustained via cat content

I got my cat. He's a fluffy little guy. In addition my luck has turned around a bit and I've had the time for miniatures and praxis. I wish you well. I've been at the point of making those lists and far worse than that. Whether people online or in meatspace, it's possible to connect with folks and feel better within the year.

I'm happy that I met my girlfriend and that we're planning a trip to the renn faire nearby in a few weeks. We're dressing up. She's being a goblin and I'm an orc, because of our height difference.

Kitty next door was missing for 2 weeks and I saw them in the window today! I think they got even chomkier!
