My deviant art account is still around, it's over 20 years old now. Idk, is xanga still around? Most sites I used are gone now.

That is one of those movies that I grew up watching on VHS not realizing how many did not know what in the world it was until I was an adult.

I have, for my child. A local branch of a charity covers all of the pediatric oncology patients' prescriptions so the families don't have to worry about it. They also have prepaid cards that they give out monthly to families to spend on whatever they might need.

It's fucked that I'm moved to tears over this practically every time I fill his prescriptions before we head home. Having the medicine he needs shouldn't have to send someone into bankruptcy if the charity branch didn't cover it.

I hate the price of prescriptions in this country.

Pretty much, yes. I could probably draw them now, but I make no assumptions that it would be to scale.

I can't draw you a map of routes I've taken, but I can see them in my head.

I remember drawing floorplans for fun as a kid after my dad brought home a book of them from a housing company - that was 30± years ago.

But I can't tell you what I had for breakfast this morning.

Obligatory suggestion to read the manga if you haven't already. Truly expands the world and goes well past the events of the movie. Also, depending on the version you end up reading, you get to see more of Miyazaki's watercolor paintings.

Yes. After 5± years I was immediately dropped for a new friend who happened to share the same birthday, just different year. It was never the same after that. We haven't even talked in 10 years. It still hurts.

"Cotton gin" and "cott-engine" are pronounced the save way - possibly a homophone, definitely a play on words/sounds. I don't know much about Eli Whitney besides that he's credited with the invention of the cotton gin.

Fizzgig is my spirit animal.

Since COVID we haven't had a knock on our door... We just occasionally get junk mail from the JW...

I kinda want one.

I have questions.... lots of questions.

All it does is tell me I'm broke. I know this already. I don't need to be reminded again...
