I love hooded crows sooooo much. But I think of them as having little grey waistcoats.

I've had two days of decent spoons in a row and many dog cuddles! Also I finished a really good book and am starting another one.

My internal medicine doctor has told me not to get shots (Long COVID) and I definitely miss it. Thanks for doing the herd immunity! I appreciate it.

An hour ago, Coco got up from where he was napping to wedge himself next to me on the couch and fell asleep again. If I starve from a lack of love, know I died how I lived: Irrationally accommodating another.

Medical burnout is so tough because it hard to get a break for it. Big empathy and I hope you find another spot to get some physical goodness.

I have also been there big time with med switches. The terrible side effects and the exhaustion and the worrying about finding something that works.

I really love my dog. This weekend he discovered he could move the throw pillows on the couch.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

This weekend's clay studio with a friend and @soberqueerdo.bsky.social

A cute white ghost with a pumpkin on it's head and a black bar with a big round body and tiny wings, made out of oven-bake clay. Both figures have pink cheek spots

Making regular time for at is such a discipline but so worth it. I'm currently trying to do even a few stitches a day and I feel so good for it.

Sweetlegs! They have a decent size range and are really comfy.

Coco reminds you to keep in touch with your people.

Furiously angry at the two-tier healthcare system compounding with the pink tax: a shocking number of subscription-based perimenopause healthcare providers are popping up.

$2000/y for “personalized” hormone health care? Get fucked, this is Canada, that should be illegal.

Also when you talked about taking days to recover it made me think of Post-Exertional Malaise

I suddenly have a day free and am I gonna embroider and watch TV? Go for a moody fall walk? Maybe a bit of both?

I love unexpected unstructured time.
