Infection behind my knee is still getting worse, but I've only been on the oral antibiotics for a little over a day now, so I hold out hope that maybe it'll stop growing and start healing very soon.

Okay, friends and internet neighbors, I have a surgery date of 12/31. That’s right, I’m going into 2026 with no belly button.
I want to clear another $750 of this GFM so I can rest in January. Can you help me do that?

I'd like to tell a little story about how...not great my GP is.

Yesterday at my appointment, I told him I had a small skin split behind my knee that I'm sure had gotten infected despite me applying Polysporin to it and cleaning it with alcohol. It's been getting worse over the last 5 days.

Doctor's appointment, covid/flu vaccine, AND a trip to Costco, all done today.

It was a lot, and I'm glad it's done.

Now I have all my meds restocked, AND I have antibiotics for what I'm sure is on the cusp of turning into cellulitis.

A trivial social error has been greatly exacerbated by an autistic person’s unnecessary apology for it, sources have claimed.

Spent yesterday cooking up a load of turkey broth and bacon. Somehow, the apartment this morning smells like curry and sausages.

More generosity today! Our upstairs neighbours came to give us a wreath, just like they did last year! It smells lovely!

Partner's coworker gave us a few turkey carcasses she had in her freezer from over Thanksgiving, so today I took apart 1 of them to boil up for soup. Still plenty of meat left on the bones, & the carcass itself barely fit into the stock pot, & that still leaves an even bigger carcass in our freezer!

All right, crafty folks.
I need everyone who sees this to keep a look out for the following shawls. They were lost by FedEx on the way to Barcelona Knits, and have been declared "unrecoverable".

I'm sorry, it's how fucking cold this morning?!

(That's 1 and feels like -20 F, for my American friends.)

After remembering all the lyrics, I gave an impromptu mini-concert to my empty apartment. Felt nice to exercise my soprano voice again.
I often think about how, in elementary school choir, I was told that Skye Boat Song was about Jesus.

I don't blame the teacher. She probably didn't know any better than the rest of us. But still!

in some languages, they don't say "I love you", they say "I made sure Future You would have a potato", and I think that's beautiful

Hey! If you’ve ever liked my voice, now, before the end of the year, would be a really good time to hire me for any SAG-approved projects!

Asking as someone who loves VO, and also really loves having halfway decent health insurance

i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

Like, I'm sorry the fascists are giving you difficult choices. But that's what fascists fucking do. The only legit answer is "fuck you make me". The only answer that shows you have actual fucking principles not preferences is "fuck you make me". And that sucks. But here we are.

Here’s Judith Butler explaining what this movement is and always was, about five years ago.

My bank service fees have gone up from $6.95 a month to $16.95 a month. That's a big damn jump, and given that I have very little income (read: my mother helps, and I rely on my partner for everything), this might be time to boot CIBC to the curb and go find another bank. Not putting up with this!

Another choking incident today. Sigh. It wore me the hell out.

書きます (kakimasu) means "to write" in Japanese.

That first character reminds me of a desktop PC that's silently judging me for not writing anything.

Remember, writers, that the Japanese language is also rooting for you to keep writing too!
