In other news, I successfully changed jobs recently and I'm moving over to a company I actually value quite a bit.. still working for a corporate retailer but it's in the pet industry which I care far more about so.. there's that.

Making a solid effort to catch up in life as usual.. but this leaves me without the physical and mental energy to do the whole social thing..

I don't really want to think about the amount of children he must have harmed to receive a life sentence, but I do feel vindicated slightly knowing that a life sentence is possible for that offense in the first place.

Thanks lol

These bones are yet again older.... So anyway.

When I was in grade 6 walking to my bus stop early in the morning during the winter quarter before the sun was up, I got a strange feeling like I was being watched, so I looked up and saw an enormous snowy owl flying over my head who then perched at the very top of the giant cedar on my street.

Scrolling on my feed and I'm seeing a lot of posts that don't make any sense from people I don't know and I'm wondering why I'm seeing all this suddenly. Then I realized that I accidentally got switched over to discover.. x. X

I never fault you for shaving and seeking your own comfort..

Trying to culture some daphnia and other aquatic microfauna to feed my baby fish but these damn eggs just float at the surface of the water and it doesn't matter how much I oxygenate stir or try to mix in the eggs, they still stick to the surface and dry up after a days evaporation.

This is a reoccurring phase for you, not that that is a bad thing, but I have definitely seen you with beard and weird far more than no beard.. I firmly believe most people look better with a beard..

Never mind. I think they have me blocked. I apparently haven't blocked anyone nor muted anyone nor even blocked or muted any words.. so weird

Then it was probably somebody spouting some bullshit at some point that I just didn't have the time for and didn't want to see on my feed anywhere ever xD

Oh yes, I'm not that brave.. I stick to my own corner of the void for the most part

Nope, I can't click on it. It just takes me to your post and then there's nothing there but in my feed it just has this little box that says blocked in it.. and I have no idea what that means if it means that I've blocked or if they've blocked

I've not seen male nudity at all. Probably because I don't seek out any adult content and so I just haven't come across it. And I also don't like go in the discover area.....

I'm not really sure what's here because either I'm blocked by whoever posted the original thing or it's posted by somebody that I've blocked. But I don't remember blocking anybody so
.

I need like, a jump scare warning or something every time you plan to do this.. I miss your fuzzy face! It's a good thing though that you've done this more than once because at least I can adjust to it since I've seen you like this before.. but god is it weird every time..

I thought adult content was allowed? Or is it only when it's art but live pictures get the boot?.. a bit strange that dongs are being allowed to flow freely, but titties got to cover up..

Right? I was pretty sure that this place was for void posting at best.. or at least that's what I use it for

And despite the impending Doom, that is looming over me, I am still desperately trying to celebrate my daughter's fast approaching 12th birthday somehow, to keep my children's awareness and suffering from our current situation to a minimum..

Which leaves us in the same spot we have been in since August of last year basically, just getting progressively worse.. obviously there's more nuanced details but it just boils down to the basic cost of living here being too high for us.

Which will yet again leave. Absolutely nothing left over for us. Buy groceries or pay any other bills without dipping into our overdraft which we have to leave because all the other late bills will also fight for priority to that money and anything left over will end up as a returned check fees

I don't like talking about this stuff.. and I've been primarily, as you've maybe noticed, trying to and failing at acting as if nothing is wrong.. but just the same. I'm not really looking forward to this Friday when my spouse's paycheck is immediately eaten by our overdraft and our late mortgage

Without serious intervention from a source that I have yet to figure out, I will indeed be losing my home, my source of transportation, and my source of income.. and I currently cannot afford any food or groceries for my family and our utilities are at threat of being shut off.. so.. yeah..

I in fact have a fourth colonoscopy coming up sometime in February, and I'm still not in a state of recovery or health improvement.. and because of all the wage loss from being chronically sick and on leave but not being eligible for full compensation or any sort of sustainable wage loss insurance,

The realization that since October 2023, I have had three colonoscopies, a Sigmoidoscopy, was diagnosed with a fourth autoimmune disease, lost 48lbs in the span of two months and then gained 38lbs back and now yoyo, had a biopsy and major surgery, and have been admitted to the hospital 4 times now.

Having to choose between groceries and keeping the lights and water on again.. the cost of living shouldn't be allowed to go this high without our pay not also being increased.. I don't have the physical ability to stand in line at the food bank and then walk home with whatever box is available.

If they actually knew enough about the US like they keep claiming, they would know full well that an actual attempt to act out our revolution dreams would just end in another Tiananmen Square thanks to that massive military power we also have..

Getting really fed up here in Canada of all the Canadians saying Americans are all talk, or not actually doing enough to stop Trump or save ourselves and stop the downfall of our nation..

I had surgery and recovery isn't going well.. like I'm recovering I think, but at great sacrifice.. and I have no idea if everything else that's suffering because of it will recover from this period of my absence.
