Shadowdark Village Map

I finished that village map in Procreate the other day. It's for my husband's scenario for #Shadowdark. Can't wait to have a copy in my hands!

I also drew other illustrations, wondering which ones will be selected.

I have been SO sick the past two days. I need rest.

Being sick on top of chronic pain and fatigue is really something. You don't know how to lay, you don't know how to breathe, you don't know if pain meds will have any effect.

It sucked.

Drawing Maps & Dungeons

Tiny sneak peek on a dungeon map I am drawing for publication along with my husband’s scenario. I spent most of the week-end on this.

Back to #Procreate today to try and finish the village map that will go with it.

I have SO MUCH YARN. SO MUCH.
And only two hands. 😅

Once I'll get my Artelier back, I'll be able to organize my yarn, and I'll make beautiful things too. 💙

A photo of my current crochet work in progress in a wooden bowl on my gray Boppy/crafting pillow. Part of the pattern is visible on my iPad on the left. The yarn is Frabjousfibers Wonderland Yarns Blossoms in Fuchsia Macrantha #45. The pattern is Falling Blossoms Shawl by Ana D Crochet Patterns.

It's true. But I'm fine using fear where empathy lacks.

You shouldn't only care about the rights of disabled people because it may be you one day.

You should care because it's the right thing to do, for other humans who deserve life, love, and support.

It was a friction point for me too. I didn't like having to choose which one I wanted. Maybe help them by offering wise choices?

We have the "mothers are too cold" stuff from Freud. So their kids because autistic.

On the other hand, we have the "mothers are incestuous" from Lacan.

We prey on our sons' penises (now we might wonder, cut or uncut ones? or both?) and of course never have autistic daughters. NONE.

I am tired.

Irma Geddon @igeddonverse.bsky.social · 5d

The Tylenol/circumcision stuff is both hilarious and facepalmable, but it has real repercussion for autistics.

Here in France we have tons of stupid stuff as well, that are still upheld by psychiatrists, because psychoanalysis is still obligatory to study as if it were truth.

Yet they haven't yet pointed out the most obvious common thread between all #autistics.

OXYGEN.

We all breathe. 100% of us.

Irma Geddon @igeddonverse.bsky.social · 5d

After Tylenol causing #autism, now we're supposed to think circumcision is a factor? Dammit! No one told me, I may have been circumcised without my knowledge. 😂

(It is funny, because I am a cis woman). (Let me explain my jokes mmmokay?). (I do what I want).

The Boycotting Amazon Obligation from well-thinkers is insanely ableist. Same with most accommodations that we should give up according to them (pre-cut fruits is another example of abled bodies not understanding what disability is).

Not everyone can boycott Amazon

Many disabled & elderly people are housebound and rely on it

Some medical supplies are more affordable there than anywhere else.

Instead of judging, help create networks of care.

Give rides, drop off food and meds, donate to mutual aid

Take care of each other

Inevitably at the exact moment you get on the toilet after you've held it in to the point where it's repainting-the-toilet-walls time.

You'll have the choice between not answering and missing an appointment that's hard to get, or answering while trying not to let the GP know you're "there". 💩

Mal-eficent! 🎃 😈 @malgm.uk · 6d

I have a telephone appointment with the GP this morning. It’s not time specific, just “morning”.

What time do you reckon they will call?

Irma Geddon @igeddonverse.bsky.social · 6d

Yes but THIS IS EVERYTHING. You can organize them, display them, hide them in drawers or leave them in plain sight for quick use. You can hoard all the beautiful, marvelous art and craft supplies. You can use older supplies for new obsession projects. You can roll around in them like Scrooge McDuck!

Nash @radiodeadair.com · 6d

The problem with having a crafting hobby is you will have THINGS.

Bits of things, big specialized things, tiny bags of hard to get things, drawers of tools just for the things, half-completed things, duplicates of things you ordered because you forgot you already had those things, SO MANY THINGS

It’s not much. I don’t feel confident this will make any change towards anything good. But I gotta try, right? #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicfatigue #HS #diabetes #autism #audhd

And I need to work on educating others, here or IRL, because I can’t keep living in a world where I am not understood.

I also need to work on my mindset—I need to find ways not to be crushed by the depression brought by my health and mental health struggles.

Irma Geddon @igeddonverse.bsky.social · 12d

What now?

Now, I need to work on tracking my symptoms (which is one of my goals this year), to hopefully at some point be taken seriously by doctors.

Irma Geddon @igeddonverse.bsky.social · 12d

They cannot fathom that there is nothing to be done. They cannot accept that this is my life now. I can related—I cannot accept it either. But is it what it is.

I get so infuriated when people around me say “it will get better” or “hope you feel better soon”. I know they’re not ill-intentioned. It just is another time where I have to fight for myself, justify, explain, and feel it’s falling on deaf ears.

1

Irma Geddon @igeddonverse.bsky.social · 12d

There is no solution, no miracle med. I guess I just have to say in that void, where I don’t know exactly what I have, and just abandon all will to feel better at some point.
