Cancelling plans is okay. Putting yourself first is okay. Going for a long walk in the forest is okay. Befriending a large crow that was sitting in a tree is okay. Training the crow to fly into grocery stores & shoplift bread is okay. Do what you need to do to cope.
@roxiqt In the Peter S. Beagle novel ‘A Fine and Private Place’ a crow does just this to help an old man who lives in a cemetery. I think he even managed a hunk of bologna once.
@roxiqt having crowbuddies to do your bidding is the pinnacle
@roxiqt but please notify others when you need to cancel
@roxiqt if you want to talk to the crow and have it understand you, tear the bread into small chunks and dip them in a mixture of milk/honey/your blood (enough to color). Feed this to them while you sing a song of binding every day except the new/full moon for 3 cycles, and they will be yours
@roxiqt And bread is essential to coping. 😆
@roxiqt riiigght... steal bread... not loose change.
@roxiqt @RBurn_Ave_Zach I wonder if it would be frowned upon if I trained the posse of blackbirds in the psychiatric ward courtyard to do my bidding?

@Snu @roxiqt

I'd like to think that the ward staff would be too intimidated by you to frown upon your actions.

@roxiqt That is… suspiciously specific
@roxiqt that's ridiculous. If you go to the bother of training a crow to shoplift as a coping mechanism, you wouldn't get it to nick loaf. #gin #diamonds #chocolate.
@roxiqt eating mushrooms is usually ok, especially if they are the kind that helps you befriend cows in trees
@roxiqt The crow already knows how to shoplift bread. It is just humoring you. But that is okay.
@roxiqt I read this as training a cow to fly into the store and steal bread and didn’t even bat an eye like, oh nice, yeah the cow would fly in and get it, nice. Looks like it’s time for bed for me 🤣🤣🤣
@roxiqt Please be careful and always check that crow is not a witch or devious god, you can get into bad situations quickly.
@roxiqt My crows have only taught ME to bring them unshelled peanuts every day. I still must get my own bread. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

@roxiqt I read that last sentence as "Do what you need to do to cops."

A little disappointed.

@roxiqt
The unintended consequences offlying cows need careful consideration.

Have flying badgers perform ypur shoplifting needs ftw.

@roxiqt Glad I am not the only one who read "cow" 🐄 instead of "crow" and tbh I prefer that version. 😂
@steamgirl @roxiqt
That fleeting image of cow sitting in a tree was worth the whole toot. A hoot toot.
@roxiqt
If you're going through the trouble of training a crow, why not train it to steal something more expensive than bread? Like olive oil. Or raffaello.
@roxiqt @Sneezy50783211 put myself and my mental health first today instead of meeting someone. Said someone blew up at me for it. This made me even more exhausted tbh
