CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Wow there are more catsalads than I imagined. And I imagined a lot.

@marta

my brain reading that

That's my cat's birthday!

@wyatt

What the fuck is that. Did they just shrinkwap a CD and drop a label on it?

@gintoxicating

Lol. Not quite appropriate for my two Discord channels but I'm feeling compelled to drop this somewhere in them.

@kirakira

Yea, more often than not. But it's a crap shoot. I've been on some that are 25°C (78°F) and some that feel like 15°C. I always bring a light jacket or blanket if I can, and generally try to dress for the destination (while being being appropriate to the colder location).

This shit. I paid for "ad free" NBC for the Olympics and they are fucking sending me unskippable ads all the fucking time and I go full anger instantly.

@kirakira

Pure theater.

'Cause I wanna be a weird girl, weird girl, weird girl
I wanna be a weird, weird, weird, weird girl
I wanna be a freak girl, freak girl, freak girl
I wanna freak you out 'cause I'm a freaky fucking girl

Tired: I feel clocky due to my height.

Wired: Wearing tall shoes all the time because 🤩🤩🤩.

Talked about this interaction in therapy (and some of the others I've had in the past 3 or so months).

And my definitive answer is before yesterday, I never felt like I could be that cool girl. I'd tell myself I could be but never felt it.

Except yesterday. I did ever so slightly feel like I could be that cool girl. Probably because I was looking fine as fuck in my little running outfit.

And I'm chasing that feeling.

Everyone's like hehe it's so affirming I can't open a jar.

Me raging internally trying to to smash the jar to bits (and I don't do that at all) because my hand hurts and I had to get a kitchen towel.

Fuck. Yeah, looks like it really is that simple. And not sure I want (or even can) do anything about it.

I went and ran at a park yesterday. And the park has a pull up station right next to the playground.

I was there with my 4yo and as we were leaving I decided to see how hard a pull-up is. And well hard but not questionable if it was going to happen, it turns out.

But then my 4yo decides that my wife didn't see me and makes me do a second one. And I got that one too, but at the top it got close to not happening.

I used to pretty quickly bust out a dozen or so, depending on the day I guess, so whatever. I'm not thrilled about strength loss during transition, size loss is appreciated though.

The (I guess it's not really) odd part about the pullups. Before, when I'd do a dozen or more. I'd pop up quickly and sorta just roast my chin over the bar. Now I don't have that level of pure force and my whole ascent is slow and controlled. These pullups are way harder.

Anyway I've been lamenting noticable drops in strength some of it functional) and fuck me if I want to go lift (for the absolute first time in my life) to try to get it back.

Do I ever really feel like that cool girl? No. Maybe sometimes.

This happens to me often.

I see this cool girl from a long way away. I try to get a closer look. Turn out she's a trans girl.

Today at the park when I was running it happened.

So many gay thoughts the past few weeks. 🥰

If you've read Harrow the Ninth...

My kid brought this book home from the school library yesterday. I'm thinking I need to read that Harrow scene to my kids and scar themfor life.
