That’s what I do! I tell my partner he’s a good pupper. I tell my dog he’s a tiny asshole. Both are true.

Partner’s allowed to use any terms of endearment that would apply to our dog without them being read as gendered, on the theory that brain wires get crossed and I’m happy to be in the same love-nickname-category as the pup.

It’s novel on someone else’s home.

Look, I can’t be autistic. I fit in perfectly with all my board game geek friends in engineering school.

I’ve heard you can minimize risk by having multiple fitted sheets on your bed at once. Just strip off the top sheet, add to laundry hamper, sleep on the newly revealed clean sheet.

I don’t do that because I don’t use sheets. I sleep in a hammock and just swap between two hammocks when they need washing.

I’ve seen some cute temporary tattoos meant for fingers. You could also get a silicone ring and see if you could transfer to chewing that. (I tried a silicone bracelet, but hated typing while wearing it)

I never got into HP, but I could see having a tattoo I’m happy with in 20 years. I’m leaning towards some sort of cute critter on my wrist, right where I bite when I get overwhelmed. I’ve tried temporary tattoos there and they help break that cycle: I don’t want to bite a tiny dino or whatever. (Obligatory Yes, I have a therapist, no, this doesn’t come up that often. )

Sidenote: shout-out the Cyberiad by Stanisław Lem, a Polish author.

My partner’s the tasty one in the relationship. I don’t wear lotion or anything, he just isn’t into my flavor :(

other hair may also be licked—my dog is really into beards and eyebrows. He also tries to get into ear canals. For him, though, you just need to wash off the tasty, tasty face oils. Then he gives a single lick and walks off in disappointment.

Date balder men.

I swapped to Kagi this month. It’s refreshing. I’ll probably end up on the $10/month plan. They also have a library pilot program I’m trying to get my academic library to look into.
