I'm hoping its just unserious. Just my body being like "yo that hurt and you should chill TF out for a while"

If it doesn't go down after a while I might see if there's a free clinic around here, but as a united statesian my usual response is just "welp, guess that's fucked up forever now"

Kiwi Kitty @patchworkbaby.bsky.social · 7h

So uh.

I dunno if it was last night or the night before, but I guess I banged my knee or something (this is extremely common for me) and now my leg from like, my knee to right where my toes connect to my foot is swollen (less common).

It's not severe swelling but it's very, VERY uncomfortable :(

Also, that price is including some household items (detergent, shampoo, etc) AND extra ingredients for bonus autumn treats (apples are ON SALE and I bought THREE BAGS because I could) so really I COULD have spent much less

Kiwi Kitty @patchworkbaby.bsky.social · 12h

Spent $200 on groceries for this week just now, and that seems like a lot (especially because normally I only spend $100-$120) but it occurred to me that that's for a 3 meals a day plan for 4 grown adults and now I'm thinking "actually damn I did pretty good!"

I have locked in an alternate ride to work so I can save money and also NOT walk

Kiwi Kitty @patchworkbaby.bsky.social · 2d

contemplating the pros and cons of walking to work today. I already overslept so I only have three and a half hours before I would absolutely HAVE to leave (so I have time to get there without hurting myself and rest before my shift).

But honestly I don't think I can afford to keep using Lyft.

Kiwi Kitty @patchworkbaby.bsky.social · 3d

I make 89.50 per day before taxes BTW. About 65-70 after. So 20 to get to work, 20 to get home, drops me down to a measly 25-30 per day. I can't live off that.

Kiwi Kitty @patchworkbaby.bsky.social · 3d

If Lyft is gonna keep charging me over double what I should be paying for my rides to work I'm gonna have to start walking :/

That's like an hour long walk because my legs are messed up but 20+ dollars for a 5 minute drive when the driver is only getting paid about 5 bucks before my tip is. Yikes.

A couple days ago would have been my 8th anniversary with my partner, and all I can think about is how they were diagnosed with Covid and everyone just accepted that was their cause of death.

A part of me wants to do a series of videos about the experience because I believe it was medical neglect.

Nonsexual kink fics that focused on intimacy, and super sexy fics that including kinks gone wrong, and I just decided that I wanted to write really emotional, intimate pieces that ALSO had room for sexy time

Kiwi Kitty @patchworkbaby.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you!

When I was younger and first getting interested in kink, one thing that bothered me was how little focus fics (at that time) gave to the emotional aspect.

And I know I know, fic is typically all about the fantasy and suspension of disbelief/reality, but I LOVED when I started finding

Whenever I do a change like this, I do very little, if any editing. It's a lot like NaNoWriMo, where the goal (for me) is to knock out at least one scene per day.

Plus kink is intensely personal to me, so I focus less on "will readers like this" and more on what I like

Nope! For challenges like kinktober I write them the day I post them :)

Kiwi Kitty @patchworkbaby.bsky.social · 4d

My back is killing me ;;

Also sorry for no kinktober 2 days in a row, it's super hard to get them out on work days just because of the timing of my shift and how exhausted I am before and after

Right this feels like a personal attack from the universe. Like how did I run out of all three morning hot drinks at once?????

Kiwi Kitty @patchworkbaby.bsky.social · 4d

There is no coffee, tea, or hot chocolate in my home. :|

Speak to your manager about other options".

:/

So the thing I did was what I was supposed to do. I should have pushed, but honestly I just told him if I absolutely have to complete the course that I'm going to run it and turn away/be on my phone. And he said that was fine. So.

Told my boss I really couldn't handle the workplace violence/active assailant videos again, he said unfortunately they're required but that at least one of them would include a warning/disclaimer and option to skip.

It did not. It said "if this is too upsetting for you please exit this course and

Last night I had a dream that my mom had a pen that let her draw on ANY screen (as in like, the pen could connect to any screen-like device and a drawing program would just. Be there.)

So I woke up in this really weird position cause in my dream I'd been laying down and drawing "on" the TV.

ALSO

some folks might remember that I asked for a promotion over a month ago now and was told that I was basically getting it.

That never happened, and with how upper management has started treating the two young men currently at that position/level, I'm going to be withdrawing my name for it.

Kiwi Kitty @patchworkbaby.bsky.social · 6d

In them HAS NOT CHANGED since I watched the EXACT SAME THING when I was working at Walmart.

Those videos are triggering as fuck, I literally lived through one, and we should be allowed to opt out.

Kiwi Kitty @patchworkbaby.bsky.social · 6d

So because they decided to change the program we use for training modules at my job, I have to do the "workplace violence" and "active assailant" training modules again even though I just did them like 2 months ago

I CANNOT watch those videos again. I understand they're important. The information

Kiwi Kitty @patchworkbaby.bsky.social · 6d

Okay. Okay.

Goals for the rest of 2025:

1. Get insurance
2. Start therapy (& meds if needed)
3. Start drawing for myself again rather than stressing about if my art is "marketable"

He's book smart and maybe even street smart but socially he's as dumb as a box of rocks. Sometimes he's inadvertently a jackass. Sometimes people take advantage of his inability to read social cues to be mean to him.

Yamikumo Remembers those people even when Katsuki insists revenge is beneath them
