These pharmaceutical jingles are absolute bangers. I don’t have psoriasis, arthritis, or Crohn's disease, but I’m still going to talk to my doctor about Skyrizi because I WANT it and the FOMO is unbearable.

Young people wanting to eat good food?! What's next?! Are they going to want to get paid more, own houses, take vacations?!

I dated a guy for about a week when I was a teenager and I just googled him and found a YouTube video of him doing standup comedy which is interesting because I don’t remember him being particularly funny and the video serves as proof that he still isn't.

It's May! That means it's ME Awareness month, with World ME Day on May 12th!

I'm going to try to post about ME Awareness events over the next few weeks.

This year #MEAction has a campaign called "Teach ME, Treat ME" which will

"… educate hospital systems and medical schools about ME/CFS by encouraging medical schools to Teach ME, and major hospitals to Treat ME"

Here's the event schedule:

Ok, but what if it was cocaine bear and he'd already done all the cocaine and didn't have any left to share?

So our little (2,450 lbs, 155" long) old (2006), immensely practical Scion xB has 68k miles on it and runs great, but got whacked while parked. Looking for an electric replacement I found the Chevy Bolt EUV, which seems great! Except they stopped making them. Grrr....

There's this thing called Williams syndrome where people who have it tend to be very happy and outgoing and friendly, but it comes at a detriment because they can be TOO friendly and trusting and potentially end up in dangerous situations as a result.

I share a lot of the emotional and psychological traits, but I know I don’t have it because there are associated physical traits and I don’t have any of those.

Either way, there is definitely something going on with me where I am completely oblivious to any sort of threat or danger and, whenever my husband is concerned about a situation, he calls me "William" and I snap out of it.

He's not making fun of me or people with Williams syndrome and it's just kind of a code to alert me to potentially scary situations and I’m so grateful to have him around because I'd probably be dead or trapped in someone's basement if it weren't for him.

Good morning Mastodonians! A beautiful beginning of May Day near the Bay, yay!

Photo of a calm May Day morning on Harris Creek sun rising behind a low grey shelf of cloud bisecting the sky to the left. Sky is deep blue. Marsh is steadily greening up for spring. Creek water is rippled and reflects the sky and clouds. In the foreground Miles and Jon two black Flat-Coated retrievers stroll down the wood walk in hopes of spotting interesting waterfowl.

Guys. My mom was awake for her hip replacement. AWAKE. They gave an epidural and nerve block to the hip and leg, with some light sedation. She was like oh yeah I heard them hammering 😂 She woke up pain free and happy she had it done. PT tomorrow to see if she can escape the hospital by evening. Thanks for the well wishes and good juju!

This is Enzo. There was a cat outside, on the window sill. Enzo didn't bark at it, so I did. Then he lost his mind, like I was stealing his job. Now he is sad that the cat is gone and he has nothing to bark at.

I know Gen X is getting old because so many people have switched to diet hose water and pretend it tastes the same.

Can you imagine being born into royalty and then having a penis piercing named after you?

As an autistic person, I hate when people tell me major news, like about how their grandma died.

If they don’t provide additional context about how they're feeling, I’m always like "wait, are you sad because you liked them or are you happy because they were mean and racist like my own awful grandma?"

Edit: Claudia met her goal!

Thank you so much to everyone who donated!

Extra special thanks to @JoParkerBear and @LibertyForward1 for being the lovely people who brought this gofundme to my attention.

Also, thanks to all of you for reminding me about this wonderful place called Mastodon where people really can come together and make good things happen.

If you donated and want some weird photo booth photos and haven't messaged me with your address, please DM me so I can ensure I send some awkwardness your way.

Original:
I’m going to try something kind of out of character, but Claudia needs air conditioning ASAP and she can't do that until she has 100% of the funds needed.

I have a stack of nerdy photo booth photos of me and/or me and Kev.

If you donate at least $10 to this gofundme, send me a screenshot of your donation along with your address and I'll mail you a photo from one of the strips.

If you donate at least $20 to this gofundme, send me a screenshot of your donation along with your address and I'll mail you an entire strip.

The bonus of the entire strip is that I’m a weird looking person so you're bound to get at least one weird photo of me.

I'll also write a little note and maybe draw a picture of something like a hotdog or whatever. (Disclaimer: I am NOT an artist and it will show) https://beige.party/@JoParkerBear/112339395276601966
