Leftist librarian, queer femme, PLANTS🌿, neurodivergent, anticapitalist, foul-mouthed brilliance. Navigating the intersection of being multiply disabled and my place in the revolution. Curator of The People's Library - ABQ. So tired. #EhlersDanlos #AuDHD
I *strongly* considered lino cutting!!! Could just start on those pink erasers, right? I would love to explore that. Downside: I am not artistic at all and was entirely dependent on reference pictures & tracing paper when I did woodburning. Is that a possibility with linocuts?

Leather work might be fun but the outset cost is a little high for now and acquiring leather dependably may be challenging... But I will definitely keep leather work in mind!!!

Considered returning to a previous #Hyperfocus like
#BalloonTwisting #CrossStitching or
#Woodburning but none of them gave me that "can't wait to do it & everything else is a mere interruption" 💥spark💥.

Like all my exs, those hobbies used to thrill me but going back to them is uninteresting.

I'm leaning towards #origami right now so I got a little kit to try. #Paper shopping is VERY appealing & it doesn't require 100 steps to set up or sitting uncomfy for a long time. The stars look easy enough & like a pleasant fidget.

I got 3 #crochet kits & no urge to even open 'em.

She was with him for FOUR YEARS. They were married for 2. She repeatedly told him what she needed, he repeatedly declined to meet those needs.

How tf you gonna say she "used" him?!

My name is Fiadh. It's pronounced FEE-ah. I get:
Fee-ah-duh
Fy-da
and... Inexplicably... Faith

My partner & I have a running joke/bet at dr appointments if they'll just call my last name or butcher my first name.

I also get Vicky a lot, probably based off my last name "Vick" but c'mon...

Then if I feel like I did A LOT that day, I like to add up how many things I finished & ÷ by # list total to calculate my "grade" (if I did 23/25 tasks, I earned an 92%, so an A- day!)

BONUS CHALLENGE: if it has prereqs (like getting mop b4 sweep), try doing both. This has the added benefit of a dopamine rush for crossing off multiple items.

W/ 💩🤬🤢😵‍💫😫 tasks I reduce the suck like "Kitchen: 30mins" instead of "kitchen" or "wash/dry/fold 1 load" as 3 tasks. If I legit CAN'T (like too early for meds) I gotta do smth (like get meds out & in sight) & don't cross it off.
March 19, 2025 at 7:44 PM
I make a list 1-10/20/30/wtv of all kinds of tasks (I do treats & self-care & stuff I ✨GOTTA✨ do), commit to the result (NO CHEATING), & use a random # generator to choose your fate.

I love to play dress up and very much do gender as performance most days for work & going out type stuff.

& to a lesser degree, cEDS but I have almost every symptom on the hEDS list that AREN'T on the other subtypes' lists so if I have stuff that is associated w hEDS but not listed for c, k, or vEDS can I stop worrying about those or do the presence of those things not exclude other subtypes?
March 8, 2025 at 7:52 PM
I'm on the wait-list for the genetic testing but I'm trying to determine my freakout level. I have atrophic scars AND hemosideric scars, chronic fatigue, skin hyperextensibility >2cm, tachycardia, scoliosis, hearing loss, among plenty of other things from the hEDS list. So I'm stressing vEDS & kEDS

LICHRALLY tho this is how I feel about being a woman. I am not a woman but I'm not not a woman but I like playing high femme dress up but I have no desire to be or internal feeling of being a man but I'm probably not non-binary enough to be non-bjnary... Is this a required choice? Can I opt out?
