It wants to know about past procedures, pain medicines you've tried, etc.

I haven't had many procedures because of my age and doctor's red taping care, same with meds (I'm also allergic to opioids and refuse to take them.) Physical therapy made my symptoms worse. I don't know. It's just discouragin

Honestly thinking about canceling my appointment with pain management next week just based on their establishing care questionnaire.

I have chronic pain, all over my body, plus random subluxations and dislocations, AND degenerative disk and arthritis. #heds #fibromyalgia

A banner version of the cover of Iron Spirit by Linn Foster. A young woman stands with her back to the viewer, looking over her shoulder. A rifle is slung across her shoulder. A fox made of neon cyan fire stands in front of her, while she holds a flame of the same color. (Art by Russell Showalter.)

A banner version of the cover of Between You, Me, and the Moonlit Sea by Linn Silver. It features the two main characters, Bell and Tae, standing back to back and looking at the viewer. Their hands are loosely clasped together. Behind them is the beach and a large full moon, all done in shades of purple and blue. (Art by @cryling.)

Above the banner it says BIRTHDAY SALE! 50% OFF ON ALL RETAILERS. $1.99 each!

the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

An illustration of the three main characters of Between You, Me, & the Moonlit Sea (Bell, Tae, and Key.) They are sitting on the sand near the water and the image is looking down at them. All three of them are looking up at the viewer, but Tae and Key's eyes are closed. Bell is winking at the viewer with their hand slightly obscuring their smile. Art by me (@linnfoster.com.)

My asexual self doesn't enjoy game romances but the soft, gentle, natutally progressing, un-horniness of demisexual Rookanis changed that.

Thank you Mary & the Dragon Age team for writing such tender inclusive romances so this middle aged nerd in the basement finally got to kick her feet 💜

I've never seen a single skill taught to an autistic kid by an ABA therapist that required ABA therapy to be learned. Not one.

I *have* seen many harms imposed upon autistic kids because ABA therapists considered autistic traits like sensory needs "behaviors," however.

If your revolution isn't accessible and isn't radically inclusive, it is no revolution at all.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.
