Working on turning my generic angel wings that I bought last year into reaper wings, to further the visual distinction of my Hanekoma cosplay. Maybe this year no one will call me Crowley 🤣

Am I weird for wanting an Asexual pride flag with the Straw Hat Pirates Jolly Roger on it? I googled it to see if anyone had even so much has made a Photoshop to that effect, only for my Google-Fu to fail me. I could probably do it myself on my computer, but I don't feel like walking into the office right now. I want it to be a real thing that exists that I can buy. Is that so much to ask for? 🤣

I am experiencing an intense bout of gastrointestinal unhappiness. I don't know what the hell I ate, or otherwise got into, but starting about 5:00 a.m. this morning I haven't been able to stray very far from the bathroom. I don't think there's anything left in me, but it still feels like my intestines are in knots.

I'm disabled, have been since I was born. One of my symptoms that has followed me into adulthood is hypotonia, aka an inability to maintain muscle tone.

I've been trying to exercise every day to rebuild the muscle tone I've lost over the last few years, which is made complicated by my hypotonia limiting how much muscle I can actually gain.

I tried looking up exercises to help overcome hypotonia, and do you know what the search results were focused on?

FUCKING BABIES!!!

Adults can and do suffer from hypotonia, and not all of us had the benefit of early intervention or childhood PT to get us where we needed to be.

I really fucking hate how so much of what I suffer from only gets research that benefits children.

My mother has been on a raw milk kick for the last few years, ever since she learned she could get it from one of the farmers that attends the farmer's markets that we do. She told me this morning that she gets it for me. I never asked for it, and don't want it. Unpasteurized milk is a health hazard that no one in my house needs. Just feels like she's using me as justification for her own paranoia about pasteurization.

Ugh.

Look at my cat, y'all 😻

Got my One For All tattoo done today! I had originally planned for it to terminate on the back of my hand, but I changed my mind just based on the size of the thing.

My mom doesn't really get the significance of the tattoo in general, so she thinks I got it just because I wanted another tattoo. She can't understand why My Hero Academia, and Izuku Midoriya resonate with me, as a disabled person who lacks something most people don't even know that they have.
