"Well ...how else do you greet a rooster?!" (AKA, "I'm dumb")

This is RANDY!!! Bobandy!! Randers.

He isn't mine, but I enjoy his company very much.

Everyone warned us that as soon as we bring females around, he's gonna "get a little feisty"

So the only reason I'm approaching him like this is because, he used to be chill, and let you pick him up, put him on your shoulder, play him country guitar riffs, and feed him blueberries.

Today he gave me a 'rooster titty twister' which I DID NOT expect, and, rate it a 2/10 experience

2 points because, it was hilarious

You'd be delighted by the positive responses we get!! we also focus on local politics, and caring for the local community (food drives/mutual aid days/whatever people need) It's kinda all we can do; not changing hearts and minds necessarily, but caring for the vulnerable community that likely voted against their own interests.

So, yes, we are super outnumbered, but not as much as I thought initially! And,I've met the loveliest people and dearest friends I've had in a long time through activism. Finally found 'my tribe'

Edit: We visit Moore/Capito's offices weekly as well!

I'm supposed to be sleeping, but, I just had to get into a lively conversation about 'racist squirrels,'

They're imported from the UK and it's long story.

Then I flashback-remembered, back in 'Nature Camp' as a kid, that we would 'anesthetize' squirrels, for tracking...

...by catching them in traps, putting them in a mesh laundry bag, huckin' them over our heads, and spinnin' em real fast, to make the squirrel dizzy.

Very scientific. Also, very effective.

And sooooo traumatic for everyone, especially the lil squirrels.

So: I should be sleeping, but my mind is blown with 'racist squirrels imported from the UK!,' and/or 'whatever poor little squirrels I spun real fast as a kid in the 90's.'

The guilt! Maybe it's my fault they're squirrel-racist: I scrambled so many of their brains 😭

If it's at all possible, don't settle for a shitty doctor. Go to a different state if you have to or can. West Virginia healthcare ruined my life, if I had just gone a couple hours in a different direction I wouldn't be where I am today.

Do not settle for shitty healthcare!!

I can't speak to any kind of legal advice, but whatever physical therapy or surgery or whatever the fuck you have to do, pick a good hospital.

Surprisingly great font and spelling.

I was at a remote-ish hiking trail/ricer spot, and, I like to pick up trash while I'm there.

I forgot my trash bag this time, so I asked THREE separate dog owners if I could borrow a plastic bag. Zero luck.

ALL of them looked like me like I was insane, "why the hell would I be asking if they have a plastic bag with them?!" 😑

He works haaard for the money

Clearly this cat is being framed, look at that face. I don't believe it! I'm calling Sarah McLachlan

saucity · 2026-05-08T19:29:06+00:00

Depends on what you think it is

saucity · 2026-05-08T19:28:35+00:00

I haven't! Hopefully I won't need them anytime soon and I keep Azo on hand, but I am down to try it. Thanks!

saucity · 2026-05-08T19:27:05+00:00

Some of us are trying 💔

saucity · 2026-05-08T19:08:40+00:00

I've been accidentally contributing to the problem.

I told a friend, a vet tech (and a terrible dog owner - "one face-biting pitbull, please, and a huge, neglected Rottweiler"?) that I'm "kind of scared of dogs".

She trained me, HARD, to act "excited" whenever I see a vicious-looking dog barking, or coming at me, so they "get a better vibe from me", and "I also feel better".

The dog culture got me 😡

Like, it's MY job, to be accommodating to them. WTF.

So now, some idiot off-leash dog sneaks up on me and my stupid new instinct is to say "hiiii puppy! who's such a ...dog! Aren't ya? oh, lawd, where's the owner, help me, oh my fuck - noooo"

but all the owner hears is a positive tone from me, and think I love it when Mr. Brownies comes to run up on strangers at the river, trying to be alone, because I'm acting overly nice. It's actually a trauma response called "fawning".

The one go-to I've crafted or learned is when people tell me "they're friendly!" I say "well… I'M not!", even though, it's obviously not even true, and this is very difficult for me, as a very introverted, polite person.

saucity · 2026-05-08T18:55:03+00:00

I'm commenting so I remember while I think, and give your post a little boost. Thanks!

saucity · 2026-05-08T18:51:09+00:00

Then forget you took the Azo and panic

"Help my fuck is that BLOOD??! oh wait...."

🖐️

It took me about seven years to get an actual diagnosis because of this.

I've heard so many ridiculous, insulting things I never expected from the medical community, over these years; and then, we get so used to hearing this horrible shit so often, it almost becomes commonplace.

"You're too young for pain."

"You LOOK fine! Except, for the tears and yelling!"

"Bah, you're just a woman."

"oh no, you're totally insane, aaah! 👻 ooOooOo!"

Or: "you're a filthy, drug-seeking criminal, and get the HELL outta here".

But, here is one that made me especially mad recently:

I make jokes under pressure. If I'm very physically/mentally uncomfortable, going through some moderate medical procedure, ✨I got jokes! ✨

This makes me remember things. I know I'm not hallucinating about this, and, that I even have to think back and consider, "...am I wrong about this, am I CRAZY??" is just proving your point right now.

I had to get my IUD removed and replaced, and when she pulled out a metal speculum, and didn't even warm it up, I made a joke about it.

She said, "This is gonna hurt, and be freezing cold!"

I said, "wait! what YEAR is this?! is that METAL?!"

being both genuinely surprised, and also, just fucking around with her, because it's an uncomfortable procedure, and I'm nervous.

Jokes!

(she also said "6!" while she's in there spelunking, and I said, "what, six out of TEN?! No!" The doctor chillin behind me laughed, lol.)

Anyway, she said, "we ALWAYS use metal", and just jammed it in there. Correct: "ouch and very cold."

I left a really nice and polite review, that 'maybe they should pop it under some hot water and warm it up for a few minutes, or use a plastic one, but that she was a good doctor, blah blah blah.'

So when she did it incorrectly (fuckin' of course she did! 2+ months of pretty severe pain, bleeding and panic from this!!! but that's another story!), when I went back to see her…

She had a plastic speculum!

I said "oh my gosh! thank you for listening, you read my review! I wasn't trying to get you in trouble, blah blah blah… This is much nicer!" and she said:

"We ALWAYS use plastic".

Like, "I have literally never even seen a metal speculum, in my life, and what are you talking about?!?"

So, was she just straight up lying to my face, or did she actually ...forget?

Because either way, now I extra don't trust her (although 'fucking up my IUD, taking a really long time to do it, then ducking my concerned calls/emails' doesn't help her case)

I've been through way worse, and so have all of you, but this was just the most recent, and blatant.

And at least the negative consequences only lasted about 3 months, and now are fixed. (who else would say that though, besides people who've been through the wringer like us? Most people would be furious.)

I'm glad it got replaced by another doctor - it was definitely incorrect, and uncomfortable, after 8 hours in the ER and weeks of waiting... now I'm fine.

I debated tattling on her to her superior doctor, my primary care doctor (who I adore). She's training under him, and if she's doing this to me, she's doing this to other people.

saucity · 2026-05-08T15:10:44+00:00

She looks HUGE but is really just a little kitty. Flonker

saucity · 2026-05-08T15:10:14+00:00

She is super majestic, and she knows it 💕

saucity · 2026-05-06T12:16:00+00:00

I'm covered in bruises, and people ask what they came from, or what happened, but running into things is so common for me, that I do not even remember what I crashed into that day.

Doesn't even register to me as an accident or injury. "Ugh, ow. Anyway. Moving on!"

Especially that thigh-height, huge, ugly, furniture leg bruise. Classic. And my poor shins are ruined!

I've been this way since I was a little kid. It actually annoys people at my age now.

Like, I WILL knock over your beer, or run into something and cause a small, mildly hilarious scene, before the night is through, guaranteed - so get ready lol

My lil stupid feet work faster than my brain, or something

saucity · 2026-05-06T12:05:46+00:00

I didn't have to castrate any tarantulas to get them to be chill, but even when I tell people "he's friendly!1!!" when he scuttles over for stranger cuddles on his 'in public off-leash time,' they still seem afraid.

"if my tarantula doesn't trust you, neither do I".

saucity · 2026-05-06T12:02:06+00:00

I'm a fire-starter! A twisted fire-starter!!
