this felt soothing to read. beautiful. relatable.

i used to think i was bad at being human, i thought that for the majority of my life. but in recent years i think i’m doing fine at being a disabled human–the thing i’m not good at is capitalism. which is unfortunate when you live in capitalism 😂 but it’s a kinder thought and that saves me some energy.

if i were an animal i would like to be a spoiled housecat. they’ve got it made lol.

Thank you so much! You are so right about capitalism: I’m great at making everything but money 😂 😭

I adore this! First, lots of gentle hugs, because man. But also, oh, and those BEARS.

I would wear one on a t-shirt, not going to lie. <3

Thank you so much! I'm definitely making stickers. I've never made a shirt before, but maybe I'll try??

OMG I love stickers too! I have no idea what the tshirt process would be, but there's got to be a way, right? But stickers are great as an alternative!! ^_^

I would still like you no matter what animal form you took. As a vegetarian, I would prefer to take the form of a very unruly cherry tomato plant.

You would make a lovely tomato plant ❤️ Have you read The Spellshop? One of the main characters is a spider plant, and he’s delightful.
