They also said twins don't impersonate each other, and I'm sure most don't, but if your dad and his indentical brother are cheeky pranksters, do you really think they're not going to use that?

Just read someone (who is a twin) on Tumblr say that it's impossible for a twin's loved ones to mistake one twin for the other and, regret to inform (as the daughter of an identical twin) after the first time they get it wrong, your loved ones become Very Careful about looking for signs before they reach the point in a conversation where they would have to admit they're not sure.

Hmm, what can have happened to my previously intact flannel? #GarlicTheCat

Garlic has wormed her way onto my lap while I was trying to complete forms before going to have a bath.

Guess I'm not having a bath now.

This is also not directed at anyone personally. It was a whole flood of people this morning.

This is one of those things where I seem pretty articulate, but it's worth remembering that I'm an emotional disaster with a lot of trauma, which means I don't always react in socially acceptable ways.

I want people to know that if I'm saying at all why an answer is unhelpful, it's because I respect you and value your input, I just am not at all good at handling it when people make responses that trigger negative emotions in me and I need them to stop but don't want to hurt their feelings either. (Not asking for advice on this.)

If I didn't respect and like you I would just block or indefinitely mute you. I'm sorry I suck in this way.

I suppose day clothes are required. (Because I have other humans coming round later and I might need to go outside.)

Alternate rec request: any tips for good, free courses in CSS and responsive web design?

I learnt HTML 25 years ago when CSS was just starting to be a thing. I know enough to make minor edits of someone else's CSS, but it would be easier if I could just write my own website that did what I wanted.

[Edit:] NOT including 'AI'.

The last thing someone with depression or anxiety needs is more pressure to do things other people think they 'ought' to do.

Listening and not telling people to do things they probably can't (or that wouldn't help or might even be actively damaging) is one especially good way to be the kind of person someone who needs to talk might one day reach out to.

In less bitter wording: if you're not mentally ill yourself, please listen and boost messages from those who are, today, instead of offering unsolicited advice or empty offers of help.

If a depressed person was comfortable DM-ing you about their issues, they would probably already be doing that. Especially if you're relative strangers.

Apparently it's World Mental Health Day. Look out for mentally healthy people blundering about saying unhelpful things like, 'If you ever need to talk, I'm here,' or, 'I notice you sound depressed, have you considered thinking positively?'

Sheets out (optimistically) to dry. Self washed. Elephant garlic planted. Pots with bulbs in marked.

Basically, a webpage that doesn't give me a headache looking at it. One where you can find information quickly and easily instead of scrolling past uninformative, image-dominated nonsense.

Taking a risk, but any recs for website templates that are:
- Simple
- accessible
- Responsive
- are not dominated by a massive banner image
- don't make the user scroll excessively
- aren't full of distracting image effects
- are suitable for an author and/or artist

Ideally, a landing page with a grid that lets me link to other pages with images and a brief caption. A simple gallery page. A page where I can list my works and link out to them. A contact page.

She's just so cosy, your honour 😭 #GarlicTheCat

Managed to destroy at least a couple of pens making this, which seems to be usual for acrylic markers, and is a bit wasteful. Might see if I can go back to paint for a while. The markers are just so damn convenient, though.

I think I shall call it 'Violently Coloured Dragon', because that is how I roll.
