Mila loves board game night, especially when the game is about birbs.

I got a terrible haircut today that I had to go home and fix myself, but on the bright side, I haven’t really changed my hairstyle in several years so now it’s time to experiment! If you’ve ever had layering gone horribly wrong, what did you do to hide it until it grew back? 😅
Friends, I need help. Mila has figured out how to put her paw up the auto feeder and claw kibbles out to her heart’s delight. Any auto feeder recommendations that are extra hard for smart kitty paws?
On my 35h journey home!! I am sooo excited to get back. I think I can sum it up as: I like being places, I do not like travelling. Thankful for whoever said, “Treat yourself at the airport and buy that expensive snack ONE TIME even though you know it’s not a good deal”, that really helped!
We need to return to traditional masculinity, to the time when real men took their kitties for walkies so they could smell smells.
It’s actually not a rainbow bridge when you die, it’s a room of antique violins in glass cases:
The train today was way too overwhelming, especially with it being 40°C outside! I missed my train by 3 minutes because the machine broke down. The next one was 5 hours away and I sat down and cried 😮💨 But I made it to where I needed to go!
Research shows that humans who adopt their cats from shelters and rescues, rather than buy them from breeders, are 10 times smarter and better looking. The researcher:
Overheard in the pit: “I wish when Don Giovanni goes to hell he’d take me with him” (It’s a 3 hour opera and unfortunately it DOES NOT END when the villain dies.) We started at 9:15pm and ended at 12:03am 😭
He was a dad to so many. How lucky I was to be one of the first.
This photo will never fail to make me smile & feel loved. Dad Stallcup was the best. The hours he spent reading to me, @eristicenigma.bsky.social and @autisticstarfruit.bsky.social were so precious. Happy birthday, Dad Stallcup. I love you dearly, & I miss you so much. @hollystallcup.bsky.social

HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS I PLAYED BEETHOVEN 8 IN ITALY!!! 13 year old me would be SO proud, but also not surprised. There had to be a fire that kept me going then through 11 more years of abuse by mentors, and this … this is it 🔥
I went to a party. I found a cat. I played with the cat for 2 hours. Then I went home. It was the best party I've ever been to.
I can’t go into any of the big cities this week because I perform every night, but the smaller towns are cool too! Everything (and I mean everything!) is closed from 12-3:30pm for Naptime.
Dyspraxia meant I couldn’t go to the top of the mountain with my friends (see second photo), but I did a pretty halfway trail at my own pace and it was glorious!
I have the hardest exam I’ve ever taken on Friday. A week from now, I’m not going to care about the causes of contralateral homonymous hemianopsia (as long as I pass), but I will care that I went to the annual donkey racing festival in Italy! School-life balance.
Vibes for today are mountain side picnic with fresh local cheese and salami, and leaving before the thunderstorm rolls in 🧺
The vibe for today was just “OMG I AM IN VENICE!!!” I am very nervous about travelling with disabilities, but I am so glad I did this!
When you’re in Italy, but there’s a cat! And it looks like your cat! And it’s the middle of the night where your cat is, so it’s totally possible it IS your cat doing that magic cat travel thing! Who can tell I miss Mila? 🐱
Something I have noticed: Americans in foreign countries: speak English or blatantly butcher the other language confidentially + unapologetically Non-Americans: apologize, try 3-4 other languages to see if there are any common root words, laugh at themselves for being so inept at another language
I’m so nervous to travel! I feel like this is going to be an adventure of a lifetime - which is exciting and terrifying. Being in an unfamiliar place where you’ll for sure learn new things is always a bit nerve-wracking at first, especially for this autistic brain!* *thanking my doctor for Ativan 💜
What are your best rote memory tips? My current ones are: -Seeing what ideas others have on YouTube -Drawing diagrams -Handwriting and typing notes -Starting the course early so it becomes long-term memory -Mnemonics and assigning things to music Anything else? I need all the help I can get 😮💨
I’M GOING TO ITALY!!! I’m going to need all your best travel tips because this girl has not travelled in a very long time!
Please send me ✨ Italy ✨ vibes!! I’ve been offered a chance to go and play in an opera orchestra, as long as I can make it fit with my neuroanatomy exams!
Happy Pride! 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ Living authentically saves lives 💜🤍🖤

As a disabled person, it’s fun to be in the process of becoming one of the healthcare professionals you used to work with. It’s also fun when it’s a small world and you bump into these therapists and they get to see how far you’ve come even past your work with them!
Peaches were on sale today, but they were MADE IN USA so I promptly them back. I don’t eat traitor peaches.
