Old man (by internet standards) who likes to yell about video games, animation, sci-fi, and tokusatsu. Also somehow AMV Contest Coordinator for Anime Weekend Atlanta. Ace and prefer they/them. PFP my D&D child Mirth as drawn by @shanicetjn.bsky.social
Ugh; I hate how deliberately confusing health insurance makes things. I changed to a higher tier of what should be the same plan I've had, with the only difference being percentages and deductibles. But the higher tier ALSO reimburses a little for therapy without hitting the deductible first.

Sensing that Mom doesn't like when I talk about therapy. She was happy enough that I got help that I desperately needed after Dad's death rendered me nearly nonfunctional, but I think she expected me to be done with it by now/would prefer that I was done with it.

I carry so much internalized shame and guilt from not understanding why I couldn’t do anything right as a kid.

(Not only an ADHD thing, but a common experience with it.)

Note to self: tighten down the ends of my septum piece before my upcoming travel. Already almost lost one of the cones, and I have not invested in extras yet (in part because I might stretch to 12g in a few months, so I don't want to invest a ton into the 14g piece).

It's funny; just found out Mom and oldest sister's partner are on bad terms now for some reason, and she was all "I'm surprised you didn't know about it." I didn't know about it because I'M not on good terms with oldest sister (and she has shown no signs that she wants to resolve things).

Might have to take another brief break from following the news. Staying plugged in is starting to negatively impact my sleep again. Got some travel this weekend, which will hopefully help me reset.

Hmmm. Watching the hype cycle spin up for the next Final Fantasy VII Remake, and I can only say I'm happy for the people who are excited about it. I enjoyed my time with the first one, but it also left me with zero desire to play more.

My robovac be praised, for it has once again found a dropped septum bar end that I thought I'd need to buy a replacement for. Though I should still buy some extras just to be safe.

Decided to re-string the chain between my nose studs tonight. Had taken a break from it, because, despite how much I love the look, the constant feel of it sometimes fucks with my sensory issues.

It sometimes makes me sad that, between the general state of my teeth after years of sleep grinding and my ADHD, lip/mouth piercings are off the table for me. Even the theoretically "tooth/gum safe" options aren't especially safe if I'm likely to fidget and/or chew on them due to my ADHD.

*pinches bridge of nose* Beyond frustrating to me that a friend who straight up said "I'd be thinking about leaving if not for the kid(s)" immediately after they started having kids and now gripes about her in-laws (and her spouse to a lesser extent) is STILL WITH THAT MAN.

Hmmmm; sister that blew up at me around Mother's Day a couple of years ago (short version, longstanding disagreements over managing care of our elderly parents) is trying to re-friend me on social media. Everything has been civil in-person since, but still not inclined to approve the request.

Just inserted the tapered piece to stretch my septum to 14 g; for such a small stretch, I felt it WAY more than I expected too. Didn't hurt so much, but definitely wasn't comfortable. Mostly wanted to do it because 14 g gives more jewelry options that I feel work better with my face.

The worse things get in the US, the more I'm legit happy, borderline ecstatic, about the Trump-supporting 'friends' who have unfriended me, stopped talking to me, or otherwise pulled away since just after the election.

If I had a nickel for every time a Kamen Rider series with bright, sugary rider designs incorporated Norse mythological elements, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but strange that it happened twice.
