Y'all y'all y'all

I did my first really good-sounding fry scream today

I mean I pulled my neck muscles real bad but injuries for the sake of 🤘metal🤘 are worth it

Put a finger down if you start crying every time you hear "Baba Yetu" by Christopher Tin and probably will for the rest of your sappy life

I thought my eyesight was rapidly getting worse over the last two years. Turns out my prescription is *too strong* and almost all of my vision issues are neurological. I have the eyes of someone half my age.

My epilepsy meds were "treating my eyesight" because my seizures are usually visual.

wtf

The twunk at the optometrist threw shade at me nonstop while I was trying on frames.

Just sitting across the room, quietly going
"Eehhhh ..."
"Tch."
"Ughh."
"Oh no girl."

And then said "If these are what you want" when I went to pay. Catty lil bitch lol

Try to give nurses a bit of grace right now. The holidays are always hell, and with changes to healthcare coverage things are particularly stressful. There are some real jerks in the nursing industry, but most of them went in to health care because they actually do want to help. They're demoralized.

I hate to ask this, but do I have any mutuals in the UK who could call a business in Glasgow for me? I've sent several emails trying to ask about accessibility, and haven't had a response. I'm hoping it might help if someone simply says "Hey, could you take a wee peek at an email from __?"

Basically everything rabbit-based that I feed my dog has been entirely discontinued, very abruptly. The dog food industry imports almost all of its rabbit meat from China and Canada. This is great for dogs with protein allergies, I tell you

It's really cool that one of my doctors called to argue with me about the information that I need for my letter to travel with controlled medications, even though I sent him the list of details needed directly from the UK govt, because ChatGPT said he should include DIFFERENT details

Just pulled up my photos, and it appears that at some point last night between taking my evening meds and falling asleep, I was pinching-and-zooming around, repeatedly taking screenshots of *checks* a Parthian gold funerary mask from Nineveh. Zero recollection. This is some SCP on Ambien nonsense

I think the worst part about social media as it currently exists is that it's so much harder to make actual friends online. Microblogging has wrecked social connections and discourages mutual engagement.

Love to be actively in the process of my annual wellness and safety review with the DMV and my internationally renowned epileptologist while some dweeb, clearly in the midst of a bad high, screeches at me about how my disability inherently makes me an irresponsible danger to others

Very much looking forward to visiting Glasgow for the first time this coming February! Going for a concert but will be there for a week in the city center. We've found some fun places to check out while we're there like the Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre

The lol I lol'd when YouTube's latest ~supermix~ threw these two songs together ... and then continued to lol when I realized how seamlessly Avatar could cover "Curses"

I need to stick around. I have too much music to listen to and too much art to start making again.

Finally found the desire to fight for myself. I can't be priced out of the medicine I need to keep going.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

How things are going in the US:

My psych cried on the phone at 10am because she couldn't get a common med approved for me and I wasn't the first person she'd had to say that to today

She went silent when I said not to worry about it because my main epilepsy med increased 1200% without explanation

Ordered a perfume oil with a "light patchouli note. This thing roundhouse kicked me to the face and left a treadmark on the bridge of my nose that says PATCHOULI

Does anyone know of any good queer-friendly seamsters around the general DC-ish area? A tailor would suffice, but I am looking to get a couple custom garments made. They will be a bit costumy, so I need someone who can do pieces outside of the typical wedding suit.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Easy mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

The Fall. The power of stories, the importance of how we see our own stories and how others see them through their own eyes, and the crucial role we can choose to play in others' stories.

It's 6 mos away, but I'm stoked to dance in the most aggressive and autistic way possible with @spacebearsmo.bsky.social at Dance With The Dead and Magic Sword~

DWTD was in my top 5 for my 2025 wrap-up, & I'm excited to have learned about Magic Sword.

Also glad some concerts are still affordable!
