i definitely understand how hard being touch starved can be. i wish you nothing but the best and a (hopefully near) future full of hugs and cuddles. for now… loooooong hug

i think i would be too anxious about messing up to participate. i have all sorts of internalized bad stuff that i’m working to overcome, but it sounds like a nice place. maybe i’ll have my shit together enough some day to join.

wow! when you know it’s right you go for it! congratulations on a successful date and for just doing it. maybe i’ll be where you are in a year or two. :p

i’ve never seen lincoln’s and missed the grssshopper sparrows this year. i did see my first fox sparrows thid year though. good luck on your search!

this week was okay. i turned in a physical resumé to a potential employer in person. even though it’s for an on-call job and not a ton of hours, still fingers crossed. i also submitted and had approved a proposal to present a talk on birding at my library. it’s something i’ve been hemming and hawing on for months. i talked to my wife about the mental health concerns i have about myself so there’s a bit more understanding between us now. i know the world is continuing to go to shit, but i’m hopeful that things may start to improve somewhat.

i’m excited for the white-throated and white-crowned sparrows to come back through where i am. not to mention the packs of juncos that run around making their little lazer gun sounds.

i wish you the best going back to work. i can certainty understand your feeling anxious. i hope you and your gf are able to work together and support each other. thanks for the hug!

i feel this so much. i am at a point where there’s not much i can do toward transitioning without a job. problem is, after months upon months of unemployment i’m struggling to apply for work. i don’t know if it’s executive dysfunction or depression or something else, but i feel absolutely stuck and it’s so frustrating because i want to do the things. i want my life to move forward. i don’t even do the things i enjoy doing anymore.

sorry to make this about me, i just want you to know that you’re not alone. i absolutely empathize. so if it’s okay, please have a hug from me.

the open floorplan on the right-hand side is nice. i like that my wife can keep an eye on me in the kitchen while she makes my estrogen.

i’ll keep that in mind. thanks for the info!

i appreciate this possum distribution system so much! thank you for your service! o7

life goals. thanks for the inspiration. you look gorgeous and your kitty is a little sweety.

as a dc comics fan, i have no problem with dark and moody. i just think the newer trek has a writing problem. there might be a few good episodes, but so much just feels like mediocre fan fiction. i think trek peaked with ds9 and with paramount’s new leadership i don’t think that’s likely to change.

owls don’t feel a need to delude themselves.

the ad agency: how can we tell everyone we hate this client, but still complete the brief and get paid?

thanks so much for the kind words!
