New Instance, newly-edited #introductions post:

Hi, I'm Pamela! I live by a great lake (well, it's alright). I really love animals and have a pet turtle and cats. I like to learn new things and work with my hands. I like ecology, #STEM, #gameing, #openbsd, books and nature, and I enjoy painting but don't spend enough time doing it.

I have #agoraphobia and write about that pretty regularly, now, as well as my experiences with microwork.

it is a new day and no longer "massively upsetting stuff in the news" day, right?

I bought this body and face cleanser for my angry skin (with FSA funds!), and it's great. No fragrance, no frills, washes clean away without irritation.

I'm super glad low-pH cleansers are finally becoming mainstream. Soaps and things like shower gel are alkaline. Your skin's pH is about 5 and protected by an acid mantle, which you're roughing up using body products which are just detergents mixed into a lot of moisturizing ingredients. Use those to remove buildup from your hair, or hair dye mistakes.

Your skin wants stuff like this, and it's a really good innovation.

I do recommend a specific facial cleanser, and yes if you're heard people raving about Cerave's hydrating facial cleanser, this is why. Other good low-pH facial cleansers are the Hada Labo Tokyo cleanser line (I use the hyaluronic acid foaming one) and Glossier's milky jelly cleanser.

Good morning, if one of you makes coffee I'll cook breakfast

Imagine if people got sick once in awhile and could stay home and not spread things because sick time was paid and didn't risk their employment

someone who shall remain nameless and for once I do not live with decorated our Minecraft hangout with an enderman skin rug and it was hilarious

the one I do live with appears to have singlehandedly invented the industrial revolution

And I'm stuck in planet zoo on this level where the power keeps going out and then the electric fences and vending machines and everything go down and I got distracted trying to help all the mandrills make a break for it and then decorating the whole property with tamarind trees

I'm tired, someone else do the right side while I go eat a thing. :P

First semi- regular reminder that if your skin feels dry or scaly, ammonium lactate solution is one of the simplest, best ways to hydrate it and start to remove any scaly areas and buildup over time if your skin won't tolerate scrubbing. It's really nice for things like dry elbow patches and eczema, and usually FSA/HSA eligible. Unless you're a loofah addict, you can just use it as a daily body lotion.

"rich country" ok, why do over half the children in my city not have internet access at home?

Yay, was flipping through tiktok and someone was showing off her store that was like all pink cute things and plushies and glittery jewellery and cute skirts and stuff and I was like "huh, that kinda looks like Village Gate" and it is *totally* Village Gate and hopefully I can go check it out this summer :D

A friend gave me planet zoo from the sale after reading me babble about it and I don't think I have ever been this excited for the first load-up of a game. XD Tuffy is ready! 🦒 You can give your avatar shorts and one has a cute little giraffe tail. 😆

I have been playing roller coaster tycoon like putting on a comfy old sweater and of course what I *really* want is planet zoo and it's on sale right now but not enough.

There is also planet coaster, which is more dramatically on sale, but not a zoo game! And the associated DLC are a lesser discount. I hate this model. I'm from the era where I really do keep expecting to be able to go to the mall and just buy someone's used Planet Zoo megapack when they're done, you know? I'll never get used to this forever-licensed model.

So I am instead playing through the safari-themed zoo expansion to RT3 and currently on the level where you're rehabilitating someone's poor taste in designing an insect- themed park with spider statues everywhere.

He got me a happy meal and it has this cute pikachu box with little ears you punch out and the cutest little fries and a little unsweetened apple juice box and four trading cards and you fold a little box to put them in and there's a coloring page (not pictured)

And also I have a fish sandwich because this is meant to be adult dinner

But this helps so cute

I've never had collectible card game cards before 🤔 I wonder how many we'd need to play

I've been crying all day and food didn't help and medicine didn't help and goofing off didn't help but the raw power to summon someone to collect truffles from a shelf and send my partner off to get them has helped a teeny tiny bit

Not fancy truffles but they're at least the interesting lindt ones with the lava cake and the strawberry or whatever

Whenever Kurt can get a sheep as a pet in a game he gets one and calls it Skippy.

And so I just assumed this incarnation of Skippy was a sheep because there are minecraft sheep. But no, "if you see Skippy, don't look him in the eyes. And don't kill him."

yeah kurt has a pet enderman, I wonder if it will stay if I make it a cute little house

Well who is going to make breakfast, now? I'm a pillow.

I like it when Kurt hacks all day and I can keep shoving stuffed animals in front of his laptop so they can sit and "help"

If you'd like to comfort anxious people, please memorize one soothing, happy-ending story well enough that it is possible to say tell me a story? and you're able to come through.

You might be surprised how often such a thing would be requested if people knew you had one up your sleeve. 🤔

Finally, proper public health messaging from the top!

OK to be fair I would drink the heck out of this, but...
