A veterinary pharmacist just called me and asked with utter sincerity if โtutti-fruiti was an okay flavor for Dorothyโs medicine or did she want another flavor?โ
Like hang on, maโam, lemme go ask her.
Life kinda sucks but Iโm glad I live in a world where sometimes rats are lucky enough to be pampered and given teddy bears, so not everything is terrible all the time.

On my 30th birthday, I was at home drinking my favorite cup of jasmine tea, feeling the warm sunshine in my kitchen & enjoying the yeasty smell of bread dough rising. I burst into tears. I was so happy to still be alive. I hope you get that moment too, whatever it looks like.

I have resurrected. My organs are back in place. Itโs over for you, bitches.
NOW, WE BEGIN.
My partner of almost 7 years,
@ANCalaway
, goes into surgery tomorrow. Though itโs all extremely scary, I know sheโll come out of it looking like she does in this middle school photo: strong, smug, and totally defiant. You got this, love.
Everybody wish her luck! โค๏ธ

If you look over at my phone and see some graphic homoerotic art you donโt wanna see, well whose fault is that?
Mind your business, Debra.
Castlevania: Nocturne SEASON 2 is OFFICIALLY in production.
Thank you to all of the fans - new and returning - who tuned into watch Castlevania: Nocturne. If you still haven't given the series a try, now's your moment.
Castlevania: Nocturne is now streaming, only on Netflix.
I liked the new Matrix movie because there was kissing and also because Iโve never seen another movie just not give a single shit if itโs audience liked it or not and that rules so hard.
Fuck yeah, Lana. Fuck yeah.

Accidentally reading a message when you know you donโt have the energy to respond and now youโre gonna FORGET TO RESPOND BECAUSE THE NOTIFICATION IS GONE ๐
๐ฃAttention, People of Rat Twitter: Dorothy has declared โtutti fruittiโ a rat approved flavor. There has been much rejoicing in our household. ๐

Me, talking to my rats, โAnd this is why I always tell you that spicy synthetic noodles are bad for rats and you must not give into temptation.โ
Vicious rat on rat violence ๐ฑ
(This is a joke and is called dominance grooming. No rat was hurt during this video. They are, however, extremely dramatic idiots.)
Wondering what
#IStandWithCourtneyMilan
is about? A POC author was kicked out of
@romancewriters
for pointing out blatant racism in a book in this thread. Which is, in fact, โa fucking racist messโ like she said! Listen to POC.
Once my rats reach 2 years old, thatโs it. No more rules. They get whatever treats they want. They can behave as badly as they desire & Iโll defend their honor like Iโve never seen them do anything naughty in their entire life.
Every dumb manchild scream-crying that Powerhouse ruined Alucard by making him bisexual only serves to increase our powers. Bisexuals cannot be stopped. We cannot be slain. We are immortal. Fear us.
@theBrianaMills
Also wild how most people believe that when you have chronic illness, finding a doctor to diagnose and then treat you is simple. Medical gaslighting is alive and well in our healthcare system! Get ready for many years of doctors saying โitโs your [diet, weight, anxiety].โ
Ok, I did a very serious sniffing experiment and now Iโm happy to give a report on what each of my rats smell like:
Dorothy Zbornak: A buttered tortilla
Sophia Petrillo: A Hawaiian dinner roll
Pearl: 4 day old cornbread thatโs gone stale but youโd still eat it with some chili

I lost my best friend last year, who was a little 3 legged rat but she was so much happier with 3 legs after her amputation and was so speedy and such a good climber, that I imagine her ghost with 3 legs too. I really think sheโd prefer it so she can tell elaborate stories. ๐โค๏ธ
@ADHDdesigner
The best thing I learned from adhd / autism Twitter was just: Please stop fighting against your brain. It works. It just works very differently and you gotta figure out how, again and again. And thatโs okay. โค๏ธ
Back home from the emergency vet with baby Carter, who has sudden onset pneumonia. I helped the vet use the tiniest inhaler on her Iโve ever seen. ๐ญ We got all of her medications in her and sheโs resting now.
Taking Sophia to the vet this week because I canโt tell if sheโs developing a tumor or if sheโs just fat. (Thereโs a 90% sheโs just fat but rats love to grow tumors so weโre gonna double check.)

@AdamDeats
in a tiny wood cabin with my parents and tomorrow weโre on a canoe trip of unknown length so it was a nice relationship while it lasted. Iโll miss him.
You are not what I wanted to let go of on this long, dark winter solstice night. Your body was so light in my hands. The grief is not.
I will tell stories of you forever. I will carry your spirit, dauntless & fiery, in my heart.
You will never die in any way that matters.

The venn diagram of men who canโt handle hearing about normal bodily functions and the men who leave their wives when they get chronically ill/cancer and need care is just one big ole circle.
Thanks to everyone who made me feel loved & welcome tonight at the

premiere! Iโm grateful I was well enough to come! Iโm so proud of the entire crew but especially of my compositing master wizard

Hereโs to many more seasons & well deserved success.

The internalized self-hatred is hard to excavate after you go your whole life wondering why other people can do crowds/loud noises/etc & not feel effects so physically, painfully the way you do. Learning about sensory processing issues was mind-blowing but still unlearning shit.
@HazelMonforton
When I proposed to
@AdamDeats
, we were in the middle of the woods and suddenly heard someone playing a guitar? Half clothed man with very long hair appeared from the trees, playing and singing merrily, then disappeared again.
Fae.
We lost our Amethyst today. I knew it was coming & while we had a vet apt soon, our happy, silly girl drifted off peacefully in her sleep. It was the gentlest of deaths & while we are grief-stricken, we are grateful she never seemed to suffer. Rest well, Amethyst. Weโll miss you.
The Infectious Disease Specialist came by and it turns out I did go into sepsis, but my immune system response was incredibly powerful, so instead of maybe dying, Iโm going to feel miserable for a bit and then make a full recovery.
Takeaway: I cannot be killed by mortal means.
HAPPY WORLD RAT DAY! In celebration, hereโs my girls going absolutely ape shit for a breakfast burrito. I will be giving them far too many treats and aggravating them with my kisses and tickles all day. โค๏ธ๐๐๐โค๏ธ

When I was younger, I never thought Iโd make it to 30. I almost didnโt. But in that moment, I thought of all the wonderful things Iโd gotten to see & experience, all the things I was going to do in the next decades of my life & I was overwhelmed with such gratitude. Hang on. โค๏ธ
