I *strongly* considered lino cutting!!! Could just start on those pink erasers, right? I would love to explore that. Downside: I am not artistic at all and was entirely dependent on reference pictures & tracing paper when I did woodburning. Is that a possibility with linocuts?

Leather work might be fun but the outset cost is a little high for now and acquiring leather dependably may be challenging... But I will definitely keep leather work in mind!!!

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

Considered returning to a previous #Hyperfocus like
#BalloonTwisting #CrossStitching or
#Woodburning but none of them gave me that "can't wait to do it & everything else is a mere interruption" 💥spark💥.

Like all my exs, those hobbies used to thrill me but going back to them is uninteresting.

I'm leaning towards #origami right now so I got a little kit to try. #Paper shopping is VERY appealing & it doesn't require 100 steps to set up or sitting uncomfy for a long time. The stars look easy enough & like a pleasant fidget.

I got 3 #crochet kits & no urge to even open 'em.

It's almost April & I haven't picked a hobby yet. Tbh at this point, my "hobby" is aquatic therapy, PT, therapy therapy😝, cardiology, podiatry, dentists, calls to every specialist & insurance... But I know I ✨need✨ enrichment.

#Hobby or #Crafting tips for the perpetually #Tired & #ChronicallyIll?

She was with him for FOUR YEARS. They were married for 2. She repeatedly told him what she needed, he repeatedly declined to meet those needs.

How tf you gonna say she "used" him?!

I will be 1000% honest, this human is like 85% of the reason I drift over to the book of faces now & then. This human legit changed my life by giving me the tools to solve the medical mystery that had been plaguing me for 8+ years.

My name is Fiadh. It's pronounced FEE-ah. I get:
Fee-ah-duh
Fy-da
and... Inexplicably... Faith

My partner & I have a running joke/bet at dr appointments if they'll just call my last name or butcher my first name.

I also get Vicky a lot, probably based off my last name "Vick" but c'mon...

Then if I feel like I did A LOT that day, I like to add up how many things I finished & ÷ by # list total to calculate my "grade" (if I did 23/25 tasks, I earned an 92%, so an A- day!)

Fiadh Leigh @fiadhleigh.bsky.social · Mar 19

BONUS CHALLENGE: if it has prereqs (like getting mop b4 sweep), try doing both. This has the added benefit of a dopamine rush for crossing off multiple items.

W/ 💩🤬🤢😵‍💫😫 tasks I reduce the suck like "Kitchen: 30mins" instead of "kitchen" or "wash/dry/fold 1 load" as 3 tasks. If I legit CAN'T (like too early for meds) I gotta do smth (like get meds out & in sight) & don't cross it off.

Fiadh Leigh @fiadhleigh.bsky.social · Mar 19

I make a list 1-10/20/30/wtv of all kinds of tasks (I do treats & self-care & stuff I ✨GOTTA✨ do), commit to the result (NO CHEATING), & use a random # generator to choose your fate.

We have to remember that the American public being misinformed and lacking knowledge of what’s happening right now is only their fault *to an extent*

Our entire media ecosystem has been purchased and controlled by billionaires and oligarchs.

A misinformed public is MANUFACTURED AND INTENTIONAL.

I love to play dress up and very much do gender as performance most days for work & going out type stuff.

Picture of a mid fat alt aesthetic femme wearing a black and white polka dot dress, cat motif platform maryjane shoes, with visible tattoos, a side shave, bright pink hair, black cat eye glasses, and multiple face piercings. Femme is doing a partial curtsey pose and looking away from the camera. Background is a wood floor, a sliding glass door to the left, and various bee themed decor on the wall to the right.

& to a lesser degree, cEDS but I have almost every symptom on the hEDS list that AREN'T on the other subtypes' lists so if I have stuff that is associated w hEDS but not listed for c, k, or vEDS can I stop worrying about those or do the presence of those things not exclude other subtypes?

Fiadh Leigh @fiadhleigh.bsky.social · Mar 8

I'm on the wait-list for the genetic testing but I'm trying to determine my freakout level. I have atrophic scars AND hemosideric scars, chronic fatigue, skin hyperextensibility >2cm, tachycardia, scoliosis, hearing loss, among plenty of other things from the hEDS list. So I'm stressing vEDS & kEDS

Qs for the #EDS crew! I know hypermobility occurs w/ most EDS subtypes but I'm do/can the other signs/symptoms listed for hEDS occur w/ the other subtypes as well? Looking specifically at www.ehlers-danlos.com/heds/ list. Like is #dysautonomia exclusive to hEDS or can it occur w other subtypes?

LICHRALLY tho this is how I feel about being a woman. I am not a woman but I'm not not a woman but I like playing high femme dress up but I have no desire to be or internal feeling of being a man but I'm probably not non-binary enough to be non-bjnary... Is this a required choice? Can I opt out?

I think what anti-SW people really object to about "sex work is work" isn't what it implies about sex work but what it implies about all other work

swop-usa.bsky.social @swop-usa.bsky.social · Mar 5

There's something really ominous about people who argue that if we acknowledge that sex work is work, we're opening the door to legalized sexual harassment.

Why would you think sex workers not being criminals means you can force someone into sex acts at any workplace, including SWs workplaces?
