    Just say when and I'll buy it as an ebook so we can start (waiting for a physical copy, alas, would take months...)

    Someone stole the Christmas gift I commissioned for my girlfriend from the mail room because the delivery person didn't even ring the doorbell. I'm fucking livid, it was not only expensive but the artist moved and isn't taking orders anymore.

    I made missing posters but I don't expect them to come to anything, and the post office is like "have you checked around your door?" Fucks sake.

    Just so it's known since this is apparently some kind of horrifying meme spread around this site by multiple people;

    I don't give a shit about being called names by faceless internet randos. I might ask that they stop, but if not then whatever. It just means I ignore the fuck out of that person. I do care when someone says they want to shove their barbed wire dick in everything I love. Which was the same conversation as the alleged "cuck" conversation.

    People threatening the things and people I love with sexual violence upsets me.

    I guess I'm just a delicate flower that way.

    Okay! We met today and agreed to read part one over the next 1-2 weeks. It's about 40 pages but seems accessible. c:

    I mentioned you wanted to read it too and she was really excited about it. :D

    So my official diagnosis, last I checked, was persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia) with anxiety features. Once c-ptsd is officially accepted in the psychiatric community I've been told I'll have that diagnosis too. But lately I've been feeling full on Depressed and it's pretty unusual for me. I'm completely exhausted, it sucks.

    My therapist says it's totally expected what with my mom having died like a month ago but ugh. Ugh. I'd like to feel rested again at some point, please.

    Neither, it´s bluegreen, occupying the area between these two colours. It´s it´s own thing.

    Highly shade dependent, but I think more of them run blue (at least according the Benjamin Moore paint site).

    Blue

    Green

    For the sake of the argument, I've always considered it the greener bluegreen to turqoise's bluer bluegreen, but I think it's still firmly in the "blue" area of bluegreen.

    i think that teal would continue to exist as a hue, regardless of what labels we humans with our limited color vision and imperfect vocabulary decide to stick on it. :P

    (for real though, color words and where a language or culture draws those lines between hues are one of my favorite topics in linguistics! color words are weird.)

    I'm going to say green, because teal ducks are more green than blue. :-p

    It still honest to god looks really green to me but I guess my girlfriend is the technical winner by like, a pixel.

    I am used to not being what people want. Or need, or find useful.

    I am used to that being reason enough for all manner of bad things to happen. To be made to happen.

    The hope was that such an experience would be... Useful. Making me what some people might want or need. Pretty gold in the cracks of a pretty pot.

    Turns out it just seems to make me broken. I tried to be helpful and beautiful and whole. How embarrassing.
    I'm fine though. I'll be okay. I apologize for the theatrics and the mess.

    Well, eating an entire bag of salt and vinegar chips is definitely a thing I just did.

    Every six months or so, more or less, my brain decides that that's exactly what should happen. I've been doing this once or twice a year since I was a child and it never becomes a better plan.

    I don't even do this with any other food, just these glass shard chips that WILL destroy my mouth.

    Y tho?
