Says you

You know Jason Galaxy always seems to advocate having cat grass out for your cats. But from what I always read online about it, it makes them puke so idk why people would get it even if it’s “natural” for them to eat it lol.

It’s one banana, Michael! What could it possibly cost? $10?

I get what you’re saying but it’s not super obvious that it’s just a leg in the pic if someone is casually walking by your computer or phone at the office lol.

Me: Why is something with that title marked NSFW?

Me": Oh lol fair enough

Call me a Google shill all you want, but I always love being able to edit my documents both online and offline on all of my devices, esp when many of these apps come by default.

That blep of the black cat is amazing

Well…while I said there is nothing wrong with my hormones, I do have quite a bit of excess facial and body hair in a male pattern. So I think I likely have higher than normal testosterone in addition to the normal female hormones causing everything beyond the hair to be “regular”. So I don’t know that that’s the issue either.

You know I have on occasion thought of something like that. Thing is I don’t have any sexual trauma or anything like that. So idk.

I definitely started having mental health issues around puberty…but I mean it’s common enough for most pre/teens to experience mental turmoil during that time. So you’d think it wouldn’t preclude developing sexually.

I’m just beginning therapy now for some unrelated, more severe issues, but maybe I will eventually bring that up if I can sort out the more pressing things first.

sex is not in some special category of “required in order to be human”

Thanks for this. It’s just such an innate biological urge in 99% of people that not experiencing it actually has often made me feel like I’m not a human. It’s as basic as getting hungry when you need food or being thirsty when you need water. Idk. I appreciate the words is all, as feeling “not human” has been such a nearly lifelong struggle with this.

I will say though…when people talk about how amazing “mangoes” are, it does make me feel a bit left out even regardless of the “being human” aspect. The way people describe orgasms…it’s like they have access to some form of heroin and I don’t lol. I have a bit of FOMO wanting to be able to have an experience with such extreme pleasure.

This is freaking adorable! Love how two very different creatures can feel so comfortable with and love each other that way!

I am slowly trying to get my cat used to my mom’s dog. She visits only every once in a while so she doesn’t live here or anything.

First intro was showing my cat something with the dog’s smell on it and putting cat treats on the dog thing. That went fine. Second intro was letting them briefly hear and smell each other through a closed door. Kitty was not happy and started hissing and swiping lol. Tried again through the door the next day and the cat was actually just mildly concerned but not doing any hissing or swiping! Progress! The dog doesn’t give a shit lol I’m not even sure if she knows there is a cat there.

Tbh the dog is elderly and started developing severe health issues so idk if they will ever be able to meet. But maybe!

Lol I have been watching this show a lot lately (recommended from a friend when I first got my cat!) and I have been doing the slow blink with my cat lol. I love when I can get him to slow blink back at me. Jackson seriously has a lot of cool tips.

The owners on that show are usually mildly infuriating though lol. Most of them are like “I am playing rough with the cat why does he swipe at me” or “the cat is pooping outside the litterbox for some reason and I only clean the box weekly” or “my cat is peeing everywhere and trying to escape and I don’t know why oh btw he is not neutered” or “why is my cat scratching all of my furniture but cat scratching posts are ugly so I don’t want them in my home”.

Very occasionally the cats do seem to have a real problem tho that isn’t the fault of shitty owners. Like there was one episode I saw where a cat went blind (owner couldn’t tell!! Seems like when animals go blind it can be actually hard to sus out sometimes) and got PTSD from getting scared while blind.

It is appreciated though that even though these owners are ignorant or unrealistic that a majority are willing to actually take Jackson’s advice and teachings to heart and learn from it. I guess if they weren’t willing to learn then they wouldn’t have agreed to be on the show in the first place.

Lmaooo what a derp! Thanks for being responsible and getting him neutered! I have been watching both My Cat from Hell and It’s Me or the Dog. The amount of owners (mostly dog owners on these shows) who refuse to neuter their pets because they somehow conflate the pets’ balls with their own is staggering really. Imagine being incredibly horny all the time but also never being allowed to have sex.

Anyway, rant over lol. He looks very similar to my boy! (Gray tux with a chin spot)

Idk why but this is a straight up mood

Wow this is such an epic photo

Hoping you don’t take the downvotes to heart. Excuse my french, but you’re a bit of a weirdo and I’m sure you know this. I’m a weirdo in different ways so I get it lol!!

Anyway, I’m really happy for you that you managed to find a partner so well suited for you. A compatibility scenario like yours in an already niche group of people sounds more like finding a needle in a haystack to me. While I get that technically there is probably some individual on the planet that is compatible with me due to my niche sexual/romantic needs, it is statistically unlikely and incredibly difficult to ever hope to find someone like that.

I am female! I hope my testosterone isn’t too high lol. I have always had incredibly regular periods as well so I doubt there is any sort of issue with that going on.

I am fully aware. But notice I said that the issue for me has been lifelong. During and after pubertal age, I never developed in that manner. I have been taking an SSRI for only the past few months. That leaves 15+ years prior to taking an SSRI or any sort of medications whatsoever where I had no libido. In my case, it was not caused by any medication. It was lifelong.

I’m a decade younger, but I’m sure I’ll still be a virgin at 40 and beyond.

I have had a lifelong lack of libido (so it has not been caused by any sort of medications or anything). I also have the inability to feel sexual pleasure. I have tried all different kinds of ways of masturbating and none of them have felt like anything. May as well just be touching my forearm. Puberty was confusing as fuck as I couldn’t relate to any of my peers in this way. So I’ve always felt pretty broken.

I don’t really like other people touching me, especially strangers. I have tried kissing a couple of times before and I didn’t understand how I was supposed to do it like physically…how you’re supposed to move your mouth/facial muscles or whatever. It just tasted like spit and was wet and wasn’t pleasant.

Mostly I’m fine with it, but sometimes I get a bit sad that I’ll never be able to have a deep lifelong, human connection with someone, raise kids, etc.

I get that I can try to find connections within the asexual community, but it’s incredibly small and hard to find someone in my same age in my same geographical area.

Oh also I have intense social anxiety which doesn’t help.

Gonna play tonight 😊

Some people laugh at this sort of thing as ridiculous and I get it but…

Isn’t it exciting that people are trying to be innovative and different? Phones of the early to mid 2000s were often pretty visually and functionally distinct from one another. But since like the 2010s every phone turned into the same boring (but very functional) rectangle. Give me some spice and newness! Be kooky and weird!
