The best thing about a colonoscopy is that once it’s over, you’ve got a decade until your next one.

Welp there goes my evening

When the cat
comes around

There’ll be a paw
with claws
reaching down

He may be the last if he is unable to produce a son.

If they won’t allow women to be emperor, I wonder if sex-selective IVF will be the answer.

I like Aldi for staples like old-fashioned oats, cooking oil, and laundry detergent. But I can’t do all my shopping there because their meat is awful and their produce is very hit-or-miss. Typically I buy what I can at Aldi and get the rest at Giant, and if I’m getting fish, I go to Wegmans.

Not really. In Generalized Anxiety Disorder you often are anxious for no reason. It’s like your brain lives in a state of anxiety and it doesn’t matter if there’s nothing to worry about, your brain will still worry.

Urban Decay has been a sinking ship for years now because they strayed from what made them so beloved. They used to have palettes with funky, grungy color stories, bold nail polishes, and tons of unique colorful single shadows. Somewhere along the way they became so boring and a lot of us who loved them have moved on.

What’s going to attract teenagers to Urban Decay? It’s not a clean girl aesthetic brand, and teenagers don’t have the connection with it that their mothers likely did.

In addition to OnlyFans, this woman seems to also have a sizable TikTok following as a beauty content creator. She probably has the audience that Urban Decay wants to reach. I don’t think it’s a bad idea as a means of getting that audience’s attention, I just wonder how much they’ll be interested in Urban Decay’s product line. Or maybe UD will make even more changes to their product line to attract teenagers. Which… go ahead, I guess, but it’s also sad to see.

I never saw Harry Potter but I know that’s where Dumbledore is from, so I will assume this is an accurate plot synopsis.

Klingon

… this is Trekkie bait, don’t take it…

Wow, thank you, this is great!

Varination

Ugh this is right up my weird little alley

Soap dish (removable), wine glass slot, cell phone stand, drinking glass section. The large part standing up can be used to lean a tablet against.

I have that exact tray!

Come on, worms.

I kinda wanna be her when I grow up.

Wow that sounds awful. I’m curious, what meds do they prescribe for this?

I will buy this adorable sheepo

This part:

Racing thoughts may be experienced as background, _or may take over a person’s consciousness. _Thoughts, music, and voices might be zooming through one’s mind as they jump tangentially from one to the next.

actually does describe what it’s like inside my head. I think of it like background chatter. There are usually two to three tracks of thought that my mind hops between with a song playing in the background (currently it’s I Second That Emotion by The Miracles). It’s there when I wake up in the morning and it’s there all day long. If I wake up in the middle of the night, it’s there. That can be annoying because it makes it hard to fall back asleep. During the day I can quiet it down by concentrating on something else - e.g., listening to a podcast - but if I’m doing something that doesn’t require much thought, my background chatter comes to the forefront again.

It is what it is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It hasn’t kept me from being successful and it doesn’t really bother me except when it makes it harder to fall asleep. I’m guessing it’s just an overactive imagination? I’ve described it to my husband and he can’t relate - he says his mind is blank unless he’s actively thinking about something (and I can’t relate to that lol).

I think this is just what’s normal for me. If it caused distress or confusion, I think it might indicate some pathology, but that’s not the case.
