A 40-something in Pittsburgh coping with PTSD, OCD, neurodivergence, parenthood, and my physical chronic illnesses while trying to break an intergenerational trauma cycle.
i spent more time out of the house this afternoon, bc my kid had therapy and I didn't take ANY precautions for shit air quality and then found myself all
when I was experiencing some asthma-like symptoms (which haven't been a thing for me in y e a r s) without wearing a mask outside.
I live in pittsburgh.
but hey thank goodness i have masks around still bc i am immunocompromised, right????
NSFW/Not Safe for Work is a funny concept to me because I have on separate occasions worked as 1. a creator of porn comics for an online subscription service, 2. a film archivist, digitizing material for the The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction. I got to experience the dissonance of writing a crisp, professional email to my editor like I was taught to in art school and then attaching 18 pages of dong pictures to it. I've called a coworker over to dispassionately watch hardcore pornography over my shoulder so that they could help me make sure I was scanning a film at the correct frame rate. We were both wearing lab coats at the time. In terms of raw percentage, I have likely spent half or more of my professional life working in situations where it would not be all that unexpected to see someone's hole(s) in the course of my duties.
Practical tip for those dealing with wildfire smoke now: you can make a very effective air filter for a reasonable amount of money using a box fan & one of those filters meant for your furnace.
Also, I've managed to pick up 2 of the box fans for very cheap/free from yard sales. Make sure you get a filter rated for wildfire smoke, I think this one cost about $20.
These make a huge difference in the indoor air quality.
I would say it’s a side effect of the Max garbage but i can’t find any transactions in my bank since June 2021, and it says i haven’t paid since then, but I’ve def been watching so many things on there 👀
older lotr illustrations sometimes depict éowyn wearing ridiculously small armour. apart from the problem general sexualisation of the only female character (who really does anything), there’s another hilarious thought:
éowyn pretended to be dernhelm, a man. to fit in, she must have worn men’s armor. so the armor in the illustrations is normal for rohirrim.
therefore, all the rohirrim rode to war just like that:
