I bet you're all So glad I got unterminated. you would've Hated to miss This
Mom alter fronted at the grocery store so i get to have a full and balanced diet this week
Learning about Lua like...
"Tables are indexed starting at 1"
Okay... that's a choice, not what I would have gone with, but alright...
"0 is true"
...what the fuck?
I... Whaโ Why?
It's like taking every bad decision you can make at once with a language
theyโre foreclosing on my mind palace
im in actual disbelief that this just happened while i was writing down this joke to remember later
Genuinely and sincerely though. If I set aside the festering rage for a minute. You can't go through your life so fixated on things you hate.
Being angry is one thing. There is lots to be angry about. I am plenty angry about plenty of things, and only half a hypocrite, so I won't tell you to stop being angry. But to take that hate into the things you enjoy? To centre it when celebrating the progress you have made, the success of your communities? To respond to something you love with petty digs at something you hate? That's just fucking miserable.
You can't comment under every piece of art with how AI could never do this. You can't respond to a story about Black success by raving about how angry racists must be. You have to love trans people more than you hate transphobes. You have to let people make things and love things and be alive in this world without dragging the people and systems who want to see them fail into it every time.
There are two trans members of Scottish parliament now! A local author I met at a workshop for altering gender affirming clothes a couple years ago posted about getting published recently! I don't give a flying fuck what JKR thinks about either of them, and the fact that she is what people talk about, instead of the people involved or the work that went into these achievements or how it would feel to be a Scottish trans person seeing these things, really got under my skin I guess.
this pride month weโre all going to be radically pro transgender. or else.
hey so this means radically pro ALL transgender. donโt put limitations on this. all trans people are radically accepted here.

Anyway. I guess I'll go mop or something
Also, do y'all know how hard it is to be Normal when you're sore all the time?
It's like trying to work on something fiddly when your hands are numb. You can see what you're supposed to be doing and you might even know how to do it, but your hands won't do what you tell them to, and you can't feel what you're doing and it's so so Frustrating because everyone Else is just Doing it. And they tell you "oh, you should be able to feel when it's clicked into place" and you go "oh but I can't feel it. I can't feel anything actually." And they go "pfff, don't be ridiculous. If you Actually couldn't feel anything you'd be crying on the floor about it. You'd be in hospital actually. My grandmother can't feel her hands anymore but she's like 80 and she can still do this, so maybe you're just stupid? And lazy? And awful? Have you considered that you're awful and lazy and stupid? You asking for help is pissing me off actually. If I couldn't feel my hands I'd kill myself. I couldn't imagine living like that. But if you actually couldn't feel your hands, how are you standing here? You know there are people who ACTUALLY can't feel their hands, right? And people who don't even HAVE hands? You should be ashamed of yourself".
And you just have to smile and be polite because otherwise you're the reason people don't take REAL people with numb hands seriously actually. And you go to the doctor and say "I haven't been able to feel my hands since I was 16" and they go ":/ sounds like you aren't trying hard enough. Have you considered you're a lazy awful stupid attention seeking loser who I hate?" And you just have to go "oh! Okay! I will try harder ๐โบ๏ธโค๏ธ"
And THEN. If you're LUCKY. You'll go and they'll be like "oh shit you can't feel your hands? Well, trying harder is gonna make you worse actually. But not trying hard enough will make you worse too. Have you considered trying harder?"
it's just like that forever apparently
It is crazy that like, the start and end of the support we got for fibromyalgia, until we saw occupational health 2 years later, was 8 weeks of group therapy where they told us
Pace yourself
Rest more
Pay attention to your limits
Practice mindfulness
But also
You shouldn't stop doing stuff because of your pain.
You need to push yourself and learn that you can do things even with the pain.
You need to make sure you aren't resting too much.
Doing less will make you decondition, leading to more pain and making everything worse.
Like, I know these aren't actually inherently contradictory. But for someone who has No idea what their limits are, and is constantly feeling guilty and ashamed for not pushing harder and not doing more, it was hard not to feel like we just needed to Try Harder, and that if we Stopped pushing ourself this hard, we'd get worse.
And then they kinda just let you loose with no follow up or anything. I guess if you really wanted to, you could ask your GP to re-refer you, and wait a year for the wait list, and they Might see you again? But it's not really intended for that. It's just you and the PDFs they sent out each week against the world lmao
Have you ever played the video game "Arcade Archives: Dig Dug"?
Yes
Not yet but I've bought or downloaded it
No
Having a nice and fun time doing little bits of tidying between lying down. Life could be a dream etcetc
drawing a very beautiful fat man with long hair and hairy legs and I just keep screaming out loud because I can create the worlds most gorgeous man out of thin air with my hands and a pen. what the fuck
See if I was being Sensible*, I would look at how much better we feel and go "oh! I should go to pottery after all", but this is actually a trap? And would make me feel So much worse. I feel better specifically because I've called off and taken a bunch of pressure off of myself. Putting it back on would be like... Like when someone goes "oh yeah no I stopped my antibiotics early because I felt better :)" like that's Not How It Works and is actually going to cause a Whole New Set Of Problems!!
*"sensible" here is actually a misnomer. Our habit of pushing ourself to our limit (and often beyond it) for the sake of productivity, or avoiding inconveniencing someone, is not "sensible", and is more likely to cause More Problems, Actually.
