My roommate (the one who hates septum piercings so much they make her gag) thinks my art is the most disgusting and ugly shit on the planet, and every time I announce that I’ve sold a piece or gotten into a show, she makes the kind of facial expression you’d expect of someone eating chili at a live autopsy and says, “I’m glad you’re having fun! :)”
You’re all misunderstanding; I love her so much and I’m having a great time. It’s like when you’re a kid and you chase other, less cool kids around the playground with a fun worm you found.
She doesn’t consume any media besides sitcoms and reality TV, and doesn’t have social media besides Facebook, so when I come to her with something even remotely bizarre, she just has absolutely nothing to compare it to. Like, when I show her something mildly weird that made like this:
She’s just fully convinced that I personally invented the concept of body horror all on my own specifically to make her life a living hell. She thinks I’m the only person like this alive. It’s so funny. I love her.
I was away for Peak Apple Harvesting Time and sixty billion birds and only one apple tree live in my backyard so coming home I was like “well I live alone and don’t need that many apples so hopefully there are still a few there for my needs”
Yeah this’ll be fine.
To clarify I have indeed lost the majority of the harvest and this is just the tail end of it. Apple trees simply do not know moderation.
I s2g you’re the person in every freaking maths word problem about foodstuffs
This is just what having fruit trees is like.
We planted three apple trees and two pear trees (my husband’s idea) when we moved here. …. I now have Future Concerns.
I recommend you learn to stew fruit and make pies immediately. Get that pie recipe locked down. You’re gonna need it.
Jams and jellies are good, apple butter is lovely. Green apples are pectin bombs so you can make your own pectin for setting other fruit jams/jellies, too.
Apple pies are pretty easy to make and are great gifts, especially for non-bakers. Little hand pies are great for packed lunches.
You can make your own apple sauce in large batches and freeze it until you need it.
You can also make apple pie filling in large batches and freeze it until you need it. Then whenever you want to make a pie (or hand pies or crumbles or whatever) you’re already halfway there.
once again thinking about the time in high school english class (second language) when we were reading a text about wildlife preservation or something and one of the species of birds mentioned were boobies. and our teacher was like yes this is a funny word but it is actually a type of bird. and to prove it, with the whitescreen projector turned on for the whole class to see, opened google images on the computer and searched “boobies”
mannnnn until we all get okay with the idea of people needing other people to get them water/food/etc like. idk we’re just never gonna make it
yes you have autistic in your bio but are you rude to people who need carers and assistance with basic tasks? do you call me lazy for a text post where i ask my father to bring me water? yes you have adhd and post constantly about executive dysfunction but if a schizophrenic person who needs but doesn’t have have a carer hasn’t showered or worn clean clothes in months exists, how are you going to react to that?
yeah yeah you’re all for disability rights but if someone is campaigning for adult changing tables in disabled stall bathrooms because they have incontinence and have to wear a diaper are you going to think they’re weird? if a person has a visible colostomy bag are you going to think it’s gross? what about feeding tubes? how does your opinion on these issues change if the person in question is fat, or homeless, or a person of color?
