“It’s literally impossible to be a woman.
You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow, we're always doing it wrong?
You have to be thin, but not too thin, and you can never say you wanna be thin. You have to say you wanna be healthy, but also, you have to BE THIN.
You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass.
You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean.
You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas.
You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time.
You have to be a career woman, but also, always be looking out for other people.
You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is INSANE, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining!
You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood, but ALWAYS STAND OUT and ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL. But never forget that the system is rigged, so find a way to acknowledge that but ALSO, always be grateful!
You have to never get old. Never be rude. Never show off. Never be selfish. Never fall down. Never fail. Never show fear. Never get OUT OF LINE. It's too hard! It's too contradictory, and nobody gives you a medal or says 'thank you!' And it turns out, in fact, that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also, everything is your fault.
I'm just so tired of watching myself, and every single other woman tie herself into knots, so that people will like us.
And if all of that, is also true for a doll just representing a woman, then I don't even know." -Gloria the barbie movie

Tell me I’m wrong
In young justice, in the first episode, Dick Grayson quoted 10 things I hate about you when he came up with ‘whelmed’
On November 25, 2024, I took Cacoa to the vet for a Solensia injection. She's 18-years-old and has painful arthritis, hence the treatment. I thought her life would improve.
I was very wrong.
Her body tanked. Here are the results from the blood work and urine sample. The short version is she's severely anemic and no longer producing blood cells. As for why, the vet thinks it's due to how Solensia works and the possibility of Cacoa having cancer. She had blood work done on November 11th, and it was completely normal. This is no longer the case. The vet thinks her body was managing the cancer and the drug shut that part off and suddenly cancer flooded her body.
Her total bill, from the checkup on the November 11th all the way through today is $1418.33
I'm having a huge holiday sale in my shop right now. Use the link below to receive 45% off your purchase. All proceeds will be used to pay off Cacoa's bill. I have quilts starting as small as coasters in my shop, as well as original paintings. At the current prices, two paintings will cover this large bill.

All I wanted to do was relieve her of her pain. If I had any idea this would happen, we would've just continued living as we were.
Update: she died, here at home, on November 28th, the same day Jasper died two years ago. She's gone.
I have no idea how I'll manage my grief. 2022 was a horrific year. 2024 has been a shit year. Her health was in decline, with an anal gland rupturing into an abscess, then crystals in her urine, less energetic, less walking around all day, more sleep and sleeping on me. I just wanted to make her feel better, and now she's gone. I haven't been alone, truly alone, for 18 years. She was always with me when I was home, which is damn near 24/7 due to my disabilities. The house is too quiet.
This is the bill thus far. On December 2nd, we will go to a laboratory, with Cacoa's body, and have an autopsy done. She will be cremated when the autopsy is complete. When proof of the drug killing her is presented to the drug manufacturer, we may be reimbursed for everything spent since the drug was administered. Until then, we will have to pay the bill, which will only grow with the cost of the autopsy and cremation. We were told those may be another $1k on the current bill.
Hi. My name is Danielle (or Dani for short). I’m 27, have Spina Bifida and I’m a full time wheelchair user. I also have hydrocephalus and require a shunt. About 2 years ago, I was diagnosed with bladder cancer, which I am learning is common in younger people with Spina Bifida. They have tried all the common treatments and immunotherapy, but it has been unable to be tamed (the cancer cells). I write this in tears because my doctors are saying this is the end of the road and I met not even make it until Christmas. There is nothing more they can do.
I’m going to start this off by saying I have been a Swiftie since the Fearless era and I have always dreamed of seeing Taylor live. To see Fearless live would make me just the happiest girl alive but I missed my chances. Listening to Taylor makes me believe in hope and the idea of miracles. The song ‘Ronan’ makes me bawl my eyes out because I understand what it’s like to go through a grueling journey with cancer. All the treatments, sickness, and losing out on your youth. It’s awful and so isolating.
During the Eras tour, I watched every show and was so happy for my friends that they got to live out their dreams. I hope I get to stay here on Earth and live out my dream of seeing Taylor. Taylor, you have inspired me to be loving, patient and witty. Everything about you just makes me so happy and I wanted to thank you for helping me through this journey. ❤️
Here’s a picture of my cat Khloe that @eyeballzhurt drew. They’re a wonderful friend of mine
it's really funny to me that —in my head— bruce actually stopped 'adopting' children after jason. like, he adopted dick and jason. that's it. the rest? oh, the rest adopted him. like, steph literally showed up at his door and wouldn't leave. and tim blackmailed him.
This is me.
I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
She/Her or They/Them. I love animals and writing and music. Humans annoy me, but I care about the ones I do like a little too much. 18.
