how to fix a broken girl

By -

drolldy’s cherished porcelain bisque figurine was "very very expensive," she once told me when i was a teenager first visiting. it’s a bisque porcelain swedish girl. i think the oldies had for for a really long time, but then last year she suffered a tragic demise during their daring cross-country escape. unfortunately, the swedish girl shattered during their move.  while drolldy was en route on a complicated flight, i carefully glued the pieces back together.

one small piece remains missing, but when drolldy saw it, she was just happy that the swedish girl was fixable, and not irreparably gone forever.  drolldy didn't care; seeing it mended meant more than a perfect figurine. 

it made me think about how we can mend the broken pieces in our lives. we can leave them broke and do without, or we can try to heal and get as close as we can to whole again. once i was a broken girl too, and the oldies shared their glue with me. but it was my job to take it, appreciate it, and figured out how to use it to make me the strongest me i can be… so that i can share mine with them now. that’s real love!

drolldy has it up high, where doesn’t ever have to look at the ugly-ass hole in the back where the missing piece is. my hope is that she’ll someday let me try to restore it with a little foam clay.

💾 the dirty qwerty, #006: suit up, slut up, slur up, then shut up.

💾 the dirty qwerty, #006 suit up, slut up, slur up, then shut up. 🩸 “slut” → “suit” “slur” → “suit” “shit” → “suit” 🧠 keyboard logic: • l → u: side-eyeable neighbors • u → u: no notes • t → i → r: we’re getting loose, but we’ve seen worse • h → u: ok but WHY • r → i: this one feels personal • i → i: thx guy • s → s: yasssss look. it’s being auto-puritan. you’re mid-text, dropping a “what a dumb slur,” or “she was slutty and proud,” or just plain old “shit,” and suddenly autocorrect says: “dearie… don’t you mean suit?” and listen: i’m not shaming suits. i own one. but i am shaming the part of the code that keeps hijacking the language of pain, power, and poop… and redressing it in department store politeness. slut-shaming? slur-erasing? shit-washing yeah. it’s all the same glitch. m’phone is trying to censor my mess. but mess is where truth lives. this episode was brought to you by the letter S — for slut, slur, shit, motherfuckin snakes on a motherfucking plane, but not suit today. ...

tarot card: the wheel of fortune -- cycles, change, acceptance. phyl’s “bunniversary” (not “gotcha day,” which i hate) is new year’s eve. i celebrate it because it’s special to us. her mullet haircut from summer has grown back. she’ll need another one soon. we’ve accepted the cycle.  i’ll snip slow and uneven again. she won’t care. punk rock girls don’t give a fuck. she’s got a mullet. she can see. life goes on. spritzing on my high-quality perfumes, especially lush, which gets good reactions. jessica’s anxiety is hitting hard, and i can feel the emotional weight it puts on her. not that i can fix it, buuutttttt i notice. tramp from lush… i miss it. smells like bitter herbs, and a forest floor -- tis a perfect distraction.

the fear piss of the mind!

80% of your thoughts are negative. shocking? sure. fixable? yeah, to some degree. your brain is an absolute motherfucker. it’s built to hyper-focus on everything that sucks. but just because it’s normal doesn’t mean you’re stuck with it. meditation is like summoning your crusty fear piss factory and telling it to relax. you breathe. you focus. you let shitty thoughts roll by like the world’s worst parade - or flush the shitty thoughts and fear piss right on down your mind’s toilet. and slowly, they lose power. will you suddenly become a sunshine-and-rainbows perky bitch? no. but maybe you’ll stop feeling like every thought is a personal attack — and that’s progress.

Assblasting Festival

By -

From the Franiverse Wiki, the sacred source of lore and gastric terror. The Assblasting Festival is a core Franiverse blood orgy -- an official holiday. Celebrated annually by mortals, vampires, and Sims-based lifeforms, it is a metaphysical shitshow of digestive depravity. As one of the highest holy blood orgies, it’s a sacred, cursed, and utterly pooptacular event rooted in mass trauma and a metric fuckton of emotional gluten. Think Thanksgiving, but everyone’s dead, and the turkey is alive. The festival originated when Thorne accidentally served a cursed casserole laced with tainted plasma fruit. This infamous dish -- Gelatinous Soul Ambrosia Casserole -- was crafted from expired Makkabakka meats, ghost tears, and litterbox scraps. The result? Mass toilet casualties, soul docking (don’t let the casserole dock souls), and explosive bathroom Jackson Pollocks -- but not smelling like one. 🔪 The Grand Meal (The Last Slaughter) Participants consume spoiled or cursed food, triggerin...
