#this time it was handwashing

[coulsons-band]

the lakers shirt kills me every time because i want to know how the hell he keeps it in such good condition i mean he wears it all the time how is it not just falling apart pedro share your secrets

#like SERIOUSLY #even if he was handwashing it all the time #there’s no way NO WAY it should still be in as good condition as it is #what is he doing what am I doing wrong??? #pedro pascal #she speaks

the example people always go for with 'taking things literally' is 'not understanding idioms and metaphors' or 'not understanding sarcasm' and that's frustrating for Me, Specifically, Personally because I am a person who has a lot of social struggles with Taking Things Literally but, crucially, not in that sense. I understand idioms & metaphors just fine and, as someone who's primary special interest is the written word & storytelling, actually am pretty good at them and thrive with them. I miss sarcasm occasionally but catch it most of the time and am often sarcastic myself.

No, my Taking Things Literally is that if you say something to me or give me an instruction, I will Understand It Literally. I will get what you said and not at all what you meant. There are exceptions to this in cases where I've learned the script and even use it myself (e.g. the other day I asked my mum "Is this Not Butter" about a thing, and she replied "Yes but it has buttermilk", because we both understood the real question was "is this the lactose-free spread?" because I was making food for my sister) but in the vast majority of cases, I just. will miss implications and unspoken assumptions. I will just completely miss them, they will not register, I Did Not Know They Were There.

Implications in a narrative? I am on it immediately, this is my bread and butter, I can pull a story apart to get to five layers of subtext & implication & theme like breathing

Reliably understanding that the request "Can you empty the dishwasher?" includes emptying the drying rack which is not physically part of the dishwasher because the real request is "Can you put the clean dishes away?"? Not a chance

#me #fortunately I know a lot of Techy Computer People #so I can go ''you know how if you input a command your computer will do Exactly What You Told It To? my brain works like that' #and then they get it #and that last one is one we've been working on #the request is now usually phrased as ''Can you get the dishes?'' which is mutually understood to be either #''can you put the clean dishes (in both dishwasher & drying rack) away'' #or ''can you load the dishwasher & do the handwashing?'' #depending on the time of day & which of those tasks needs done #however sometimes my mum & dad do forget and use ''can you empty the dishwasher'' and then later they go ''you didn't get the drying rack'' #and I go ''you said dishwasher!! you didn't mention the drying rack!!'' and they go ''okay fair'' #ANYWAYS. I AM HAVING SOME.

it did.

#i had the mental image of this meme the whole time #i had to make it #-laughs- no trust in nobody #while i laugh in the face of 'handwash' and 'gentle cycle' #i never-- ever-- grow so arrogant as to not do the first wash test on suspect colors such as red and black #buns.txt #meme #< one day i'll wanna find it and will spend 50 minutes search so that's here to prevent it xD

doing evil behaviors (looking up different methods of engagement ring sourcing to try to identify the most ethical one)

#as far as i can tell it's 'a vintage ring' followed closely by 'a vintage ring you have melted down into a different ring' #but that means i have to find a vintage ring and vintage [anything] hunting rapidly becomes a task of fractal complexity #that exhausts me until i give up #lab gems ... seem ... fine but i'm not sure how the labor conditions are for workers in them and not making a lot of research progress #'ethically sourced' gold seems nice but is hard to verify effectively and 'ethically sourced' silver might... not exist? unclear #now of course my girlfriend is a biosafety level 3 infectious diseases researcher who handwashes and adds and removes #gloves hundreds of times a day #and so this is going to be a not-actually-very-frequently-worn item #which only makes me feel more evil about it all. #we're‚ like‚ engaged in the sense that we have agreed we want to get married and my whole family knows we're planning on it #we're not engaged in the sense that their family doesn't know we're planning on it and we're not making it public or actually #planning a wedding. so. #acquiring a ring is like the least relevant part of this whole exercise and as mentioned will almost never even be used. so im fixating

my hands look like this so that. they look like that. i guess

#haven't painted my nails in a bit. maybe i will tonight #btw that metal bracelet isn't actually a bracelet #it's an accupressure ring that i stretched out and i wear on my arm for brief periods of time #to ground myself and to prevent SH relapse #it's actually pretty comforting #you can see on the left hand as well my excessive handwashing from OCD causing some superficial blemishes #images are worth a thousand words and all that

I can't find any reliable sources on if 17th-century inns and hotels had individual bathrooms per room or if it was a shared privy/outhouse/chamberpot kinda situation. I kinda assume its the latter but if anyone has any better grasp on it I'd love to know

#spitblaze says things #then again. fantasy fiction. #first flushing toilet was made very late 1500s. these fuckers got magic #maybe they figured it out sooner #then again theres. no plumbing anywhere we can see so maybe not #either way im gonna say that the people of orsterra figured out that bathing is a Good Idea Actually #and apothecaries figured out that things tend to work better when they rub their hands with aqua vitae or water or soap before doing things #i am saying this because i dont particularly feel like wrestling with the real-world misconceptions about hygene that lasted #an embarrassingly long time. they figured it out. aelfricism commands ritual handwashing before/after meals and after the bathroom. its fin #[assigning jewish rituals to fictional religions that have minimal lore so i dont have to deal with the dumb shit christianity did]

[corvidaedream]

decided to pick my battles and not make it a Thing w my roommates (the three I share a bathroom with) that they kept leaving their damp used washcloths next to the toilet lately

turns out! don't i look like a fool! the toilet has been leaking on that one side for almost a month and they didn't want to tell me or the landlord bc they knew either way they'd have to talk to him and they don't like him!!

water! leaking! for almost a month!!!

#messages from the ouija board #im literally about to cry like. i texted the landlord that we need a plumber and shut off the valve but #what the fuck! what kind of water damage is happening down there!!! im going to be sick!!! #im so mad and two of them are otherwise pretty alright people (although the third one who is their gf drives me insane) #but like! if we lose our deposit/have to pay for the repairs im literally making them pay me my share of the deposit and/or cover repairs #im not paying for this! and these fuckers had the nerve to lecture me on being the 'messiest person in the house' bc i forget dishes in the #sink if i put them there when the dishwasher is running/i dont have time to handwash them #and at the time they said that!!! they all knew about the toilet!!!!!

me when i have a drawing idea i want to work on today but I know I have cleaning that needs to get done so ... I somehow end up working on neither of those and instead spend an entire hour very carefully handwashing a childhood teddy bear

I WANT TO DRAW FHDKSL WHAT AM I DOING !!!!

#the procrastination is on another level today 😭😭 #the bear has to be very carefully handwashed bc im worried theyre going to fall apart one of these days fjdkdl #i need to glue their nose back down bc its peeling off again SOBS im so scared for the day a limb finally starts coming off 😭😭 #a 22 year old teddy bear... they worry me so much fjdkdl i want them to survive until i kick the bucket !!! #theyre also handmade 🥺 my great aunt got them for me at a craft fair right around the time i was born fjfkdl #anyways BDDJKSL not on topic for this blog but MAN. i need to go ... work on cleaning or art. sigh. #dandy.cmd #vent //

Waugh so many of the clothes in the back of my drawers smell mildewy 😭😭

#can't do anything about the humidity of my room and it's been SO humid this winter #yucky yucky #handwashing all my clothes this afternoon I hate the passage of time #my room is really impossible to air out it's so annoying #crying weeping sobbing

[care666bear]

ocd will have you doing weird shit when you’re already tryna get shit done like why am I hand washing clean shirts I literally just washed last week. All because when I walked by them in my room my brain told me I needed to smell all of them and go clean the ones that don’t smell extra clean??? Like you’re not serious right now

#the excessive way I keep my clothing clean is actually scary #like the moment I’m done with certain clothes - handwash & hang immediately #doesn’t help when I have to have the right clothes to battle sensory issues so imma change multiple times a day #AND of course I can only wear things once so even if it’s only worn for 5 minutes #it’s contaminated and I gotta wash u now

[butchhamlet]

hey hey it’s the anon who was studying macbeth in class ^_^ we just did 5.1 and i read for lady macbeth……. super fun scene and the teacher said i nailed it 💪

THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME!!! congrats anon it sounds like you did wonderfully :D that scene is sooooo much fun i remember getting to do it during a workshop for my high school's macbeth and it rewired my brain a little

[harvestar]

the beast has chosen to lie on the damp blanket for reasons unknown to me

#ktxt #I was gonna try doing more chores but holy fuck I think its time to just lie down because I'm so tired and have a headache.. #its ok I can try again tomorrow and I did get a ton done today even if it doesn't seem like it cause its the bathroom #I do like the smell of the cheapo laundry soap a lot though... its just the zote bar soap you can get for a dollar #which tbh is crazy to me that its that cheap where tide is like $15-20 but I guess nobody's doing handwash these days #If I had like. a way to dry it. I would just do everything handwash and pare down to only owning 3 outfits

i know the buttworms episode is controversial but linda's song about how she loves being a mom and its her favorite job is VERY cute and loving u have to admit that

#personally i like this episode #like its not my favorite by a long short but i will rewatch it #and i think the song is good and sweet/sad 😭😭 IM A BAD BAD MOM AND IT WAS MY FAVORITE JOB 😭😭😭 #probably not great timing considering its about uhh an infectious disease and linda wants to go out to a performance and continue to spread #that infectious disease #and also general disregard for handwashing and purposefully trying to infect louise #and it released in summer 2020 #BUT IF U IGNORE THAT idk the song is cute and the kids are very smart #txt #bob's burgers

Being screamed at for things that aren't my fault seems to be a norm in this house

There's cookware scattered an dirty? Guess who gets blamed for it? The exact one that almost never has spoons for cooking in the first place

I live cleaning the trail after me so they won't have any reason to scream at me, but my brother leaves absolute messes behind him and the screams are for me

Fuck off

#momochiiee mussings #then people ask why it's almost impossible to hear me walking around #I've grown used to avoiding at all costs being noticed and leaving anything that can tell I was through there #when I get up from the table I'm always told to put their dishes in the dishwasher as I am putting mine #then the days I'm not around no one fucking cleans the table after themselves and I am still the one that gets called dirty and messy #my room is a mess YES. but the rest of the house isn't my room and therefore Isn't my living space and I must make sure I do not litter #I clean my own room when I have the spoons for it and refuse for anyone else to do it for me. it's my mess and I must deal with it myself #why do they insist I am to blame for their own mess of the kitchen when I barely have the energy to cook once a month??? #and it's not like they don't entrust other chores to me #but I digress I'm just mad because I've been blamed for the mess my dad and brother did and blamed on me just because I went there #every time I happen to have the energy to cook they complain about my cooking or blame messes on me even if I handwash & put away everything #it would be nice if they spared a fucking word of appreciation every now and then #I'm not asking them to call me endearingly but at least to not spit on any tiny effort I manage to make... or blame me for their mistakes #I'm starting to see how as soon as I am rendered jobless mid December I'll start to get screamed at again more often #and get the I'm a nuisance treatment because I can't afford basic stuff anymore #it's going to be a long year for sure... but I must put my all on the intensive classes so I can score a good job #If I manage... I will finally be able to get out of here and have my own space without any more screams #and without them brushing off my sensory triggers every time I try to explain how certain things and situations get me anxious af

[glitteratti]

ALSO. BOUGHT THE PRETTIES DRESS YESTERDAY. its pale pink with roses on the skirt and the skirt is flared out and it has a heart cutout titty window and it is SO CUTE!!!!

#.txt #soooo excited to style it up #i have these sheer stockings with flowers on them #and i think it’ll go REALLY well with my my melody heels and heart cardigan :D #its SUPER fancy like handwash only. so i have to be very careful with it #but if i could i would wear it ALL the time #i do need a petticoat for it tho i think #but alas. for now she is still #perfect ^_^

hi, sorry if u rlly didn’t ask for it, but i might have advice for dry hands.

if it’s a sensory issue with cream might i recommend just putting it on the back on the hand and spreading it with the back of the other hand, it prevents the gross feeling for me.

hope that wasn’t annoying, saw a friend doing it and it worked for me, thought it might be helpful, have a nice one :3

(rly sorry if this is unwanted advice, feel free to ignore)

dont worry not annoying, its good advice and i do it sometimes !! problem is my palms get v dry too and i have problem with compulsive hand-washing so . .. . i jus wash it off oops. i am brave and use a light moisturiser if its hurting tho, to stop it fully cracking like it rly used to years ago even on my face . oops

#its bc of covid times.. . . #(the compulsive handwashing and compulsive picking and tics for some reason.. .) #asks
