Living proof that getting older doesn't mean getting wiser or more responsible or better at anything besides flailing. Hi!

My brother's been stabbed

He's apparently ok, he's in the hospital.

Little shits who just wanted to fight someone, not even a mugging.

Wrong place, wrong time.

I don't know what else to write, I'm shocked.

I hate when you can't remember the name of a piece of art so try googling using increasing vague descriptions which makes your google history look like you're trying to search for p0rn like a boomer

[edit] FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT!

It's The Cursed Woman (La Femme Damnée) by Nicolas Francois Octave Tassaert

I'm still here.

I'm signed of sick but I'm still here.

Not so much still standing as lying down but yeah, still here.

Fucking hell.

ID: Quote tweet of an article by TheGamer online magazine: Hogwarts Legacy Draws Further Complaints of Antisemitism

Saved you a Click Video Games: Hogwarts Legacy has a shofar, a Jewish musical instrument (horn). It’s described in-game as a goblin artefact used during the Goblin Rebellion of 1612 to annoy witches and wizards.

1612 coincides with the real life massacre of Jews in 1612-1616.

[ayeforscotland]

Once again, fucking hell.

I'm still alive

Recently went to the Night Vale live show dressed as the Glow Cloud again. I don't know if the heart breaker was there but if he was, he would have seen me as the outfit wasn't exactly subtle. But fuck him, I wasn't going to let him ruin Night Vale for me.

Not sure if the pills are working but I've just started a new role so that's def helped the mental health a bit. Turns out I can work on a team where I literally don't speak a word of the language but so long as I have a team, I can do it.

Might have hit pre-menopause, not entirely sure.

I'm alone, but it's not so bad. My brain has a great sense of humour.

I hope Neil Gaiman's having a good day.

Haven't even watched The Sandman yet, I'm just pleased for him in general.

Happy Pride Month 2022!!!

Faust the Crow loves you even more than she did last year!

Just keep scrolling, I'm just dumping here as I can't put it anywhere else

Facebook friend messaged me this evening asking if I've heard from the guy who broke my heart recently as she & another friend of his haven't been able to contact him for 6 months and they're worried. She didn't know what had happened between us.

I am not so narcissistic to believe that his absence online is due to me. I strongly suspect that his phone & laptop finally gave up the ghost and he's been unable to afford to replace either because he's broke.

But there is a part of me that actually hopes it is because of me. And I hope he is miserable.

updates more for myself really

Survived being at home & having to be in same space as brother: the anti-depressants have absolutely numbed me so felt nothing about it all.

The doctor has written me a referral for a therapist (ha ha, let's see if I can find one!) and just noticed earlier that she's diagnosed me with a depressive episode and PTSD.

Gotta admit, I did not see that one coming. In hindsight, yeah it makes sense but to actually see it in black and white is a bit startling. Aaaaaaand I have nobody I can really talk to about it so I'm posting here.

I've been told to come off the pills due to not sleeping through the night for 4 weeks so hopefully the emotional fallout won't hit me too hard. Or if it does, fingers crossed I've already found a therapist by then.

[mayoldacquaintancebeforgot]

Back on the pills

Former AD girl is back to being AD girl.

It's fine, I just have another maybe 4 weeks of side effects to get through before my brain considers making happy chemicals.

Seeds For Tomorrow

Inspired by the brave Ukrainian woman who told the invading Russian soldier “Put sunflower seeds in your pocket so that sunflowers will grow when you die here.”

[ysabelmystic]

I just heard my mom tell my brother, “when you die, you will go outside and garden until your father says you’re done” and it took me a second to realize that my brother was playing a videogame and this was not a theological discussion.
