I don't know who needs to hear this, but if the phrase "self care" doesn't resonate with you, try calling it "system maintenance" and see if that clicks.

Reblogging to add amazing tags from @meta-theory

#this both makes things more fun and also is a really good analogy#because there are four types of system maintenance and that makes the term much more exact than the nebulous ''self-care''#and therefore much more helpful to those of us who uhhh struggle with nebulosity#for anyone curious the four types are:#1. corrective (to fix current problems)#2. preventative (to avoid future problems)#3. adaptative (to re-adjust to any changes)#4. perfective (to work towards a better system)#I really like this idea I'm gonna make a checklist

kazuaki horitomo’s tattooed cats.

this guy designed all the tattoos in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon games, his IG is full of amazing work as well

There are some artists who just soothe my heart with incredible work. Paris did a great job and so did you!!!

Enough of the trope where memory loss undoes the damage or the corruption or whatever. More content where removing memories just removes the context.

The tragedy of needing to grieve and not knowing what or who you lost or why. The angst of having trauma and being denied the awareness that it's trauma. The suspense of being different somehow and left to wonder how and when. The tension of knowing that something is off and you can't find where it hurts. The Adventure Zone gets it. Kingdom Hearts gets it.

There is an aching inside you and you don't know how it got there.

Today’s problem

what do chairs for dragons look like.

big comfy piles of pillows

Well, that don’t work in the scene I’m doing it’s too cute not to draw.

DAWWW SO CUTE :>

they use human chairs but really badly

same

Wait elongated chairs y’all. Eight chair legs instead of one, they can lie down majestically and put their chins on the table like they were always meant to.

@basiliskfree

I’m not sure if this is silly or a good idea lol

it’s not polite!

you’re a dragon manners mean jackshit nothing

excuse you dragons are pillars of nobility and composure

you’re a dragon. who’s gonna stop you? hmm? the dragon politeness upkeep taskforce?

I mean other dragons are really the only thing a dragon fears

Date a dragon who uses big comfy piles of pillows as chairs 

Date a dragon who tries to use chairs for humans but has trouble 

Date a dragon who uses elongated chairs made just for dragons 

Date a dragon who is a pillar of nobility and composure 

Date a dragon who rests their chin on the table 

I love this post way too much not to reblog it.

Always important to consider how your fantasy people/creatures might craft their furniture to suit their anatomy!

[ID: A photograph of my kitchen counter, showing a 1.5 pound box of mushrooms and a 4.5 pound box of tomato paste, each topped with a 2.5 pound bag of shredded mozzarella. It's a lot of food.]

I'm fortunate to live within walking distance of multiple grocery stores, but, well, I don't drive. So, every three months I put in a delivery order to stock up on goods I use a lot of.

Behold: Three months of pizzas, in an 11 pound heap. Minus a few things, mainly the crust ingredients, which I already had.

The mushrooms will be sauteed and then frozen in small containers, with the leftover oil and liquid going into a vegetable broth to add to the tomato paste, which will also be simmered with seasoning and tomato pesto before going into half pints for freezing. The cheese is broken into half-pound packages and frozen as well. To make two pizzas, you grab one package of each, mushrooms-sauce-cheese, and thaw while your pizza crust ferments overnight.

I don't eat all the pizzas I make; I sometimes gift them to friends (hence no meat) or bring them to parties. Some of this will go to other things too, like quesadillas. It just amused me to present it as a pile of pizzas. I'll cook the mushrooms tonight; I still have sauce in the freezer so I won't make more until I'm close to out.

(I also bought six pounds of ground beef, a rotisserie chicken, and a 36-count of babybel cheese. My ancestors are so proud of the luxury on which I dine!)

You are an inspiration.

Reminder: If you have no voter ID, apply for a postal vote.

Signal boost for UK followers.

Sneaky though that looks (and IMO it IS sneaky, surfacing now as it has) the reason is legit: issue of 60+ cards require a passport or other "strong" ID, issue 18+ cards do not.

So register to vote...

...and get correct ID with which to do it.

This might mean getting a Voter Authority Certificate, for which the deadline is 5:00pm on 26 June 2024.

However the Registration To Vote deadline is 11:59pm on 18 June 2024.

That means 19 days as of this post, and the clock is ticking.

*****

Northern Ireland's equivalent to the Voter Authority Certificate is an Electoral Identity Card, for which the deadline is midnight on 26 June 2024.

However:

I wonder how an application for one of these made right now - or indeed made the instant the General Election was announced - will play out come 4th June.

I live in England and EU citizens with settled status can vote!!! Please vote!
