I am a fat, disabled, chronically ill, AuDHD genderqueer weirdo. I like to make things with my hands using skills like crochet, cross-stitch, weaving, and sewing.

Brains suck sometimes. It's probably a good thing that I need to take care of the post-MAiD arrangements before I can use the service. Between my feet screaming for days and the end of a significant relationship, bringing a move to a small shoebox, I am not in a great headspace.

Just a note to folks, I'm still available all December. I'm having issues with @tryst.link and can't get my profile back up. Over $100 worth of credits used but no ads running, still waiting for approval after almost a month, no replies to any messages. December is a crucial month for me. Help?

Stupid blues have hit. I moved for the first time in 9 years just 5 days ago. While I have had an awesome crew of dear friends help, I feel lonely.
I am getting anxious about how to keep my cat from leaping out the window when he gets here and about where to put all of my stuff.

There is sure to be some canning happening at my new place. Little small batch things. Maybe big batch things with help. Mmmmm.

I would focus on my health and wellbeing, building and retaining community connections, plus make art and sew things. If I have capacity after that, I would volunteer/work with a street level organization to provide support to houseless folks.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

Oof, my brain and body are so tired. Dealing with internet hookup, renter's insurance, booking the walk through of the new place, and rescheduling the movers visit to provide a quote to a day when things will be more organized. I haven't packed a single thing today. I am making lists though. 😵💫

Some breaking news: in a special Vancouver Police Board meeting only announced over the weekend, the police board has requested a $50 million increase to their budget for 2026.
This comes as other departments across the city are trying to cut staff to ensure a property tax freeze for next year.

What the fresh hell??!?!
Bc climate change only affects those states, so red states will be just fine, since NONE of them could possibly border or breathe the same air as blue ones. 🙄 #Resist #BlueCrew #TrumpIsAFascist
PS-These states should sue bc it’s discrimination. The courts are still open.

I'm in contact directly with Zara. She's still trying to find a safe place to stay in Vancouver. I know spare rooms aren't exactly a thing these days but please share in case you know someone...

Does anyone have a persistent feeling of not knowing how to live? The nihilist in me is so unsure of what this whole life thing is about and what I am supposed to be doing. If I didn't live in screaming amounts of pain, what would I do with my life?

You can (and should) oppose political violence without doing all this, you know.

I bought my first portfolio to keep my art in. It feels like a celebratory step in being an artist.
I am a bit annoyed that in my rush to get home, I didn't check for a zipper or handle. Then I realized that this is just the first one.

Nothing like becoming more aware of my surroundings and demanding that the seven or eight emergency response people in my living room all put masks on. 😅😂🤣

Being in a state where I want to future plan and am being assessed for MAiD because of all the physical pain is really confusing. It has made me very aware of my desire to live except I want a different life. The biggest barrier is that I don't know how to make change and exist in a space on my own.

Okay, how is it that in the past week:
- two people thought my name is that of my dad (who isn't in my life)
- one thought that my name started with the same two letters as my deadname
- got a text to email message from my mom (who I don't have a relationship with) asking for one of my famous hugs

Knowing that a friend is going to unalive themself in the coming days and having no way of knowing when that will be or if it has been done, is really hard to sit with. I respect their autonomy in making this decision. That doesn't mean I am happy about it. I miss them already. 💔

The "father of swords" card drawn on a day when I started to consider why I am open to the idea of dying early due to all of the pain and yet closed off from trying medications that may reduce my pain but will also impact my appetite and weight seems pretty telling.

I can't help but wonder if being on fentanyl, as a person whose body tends to do weird things—such as having too many blood clots to count during a single incident or pancreatitis with no alcohol involved—means that we may not catch a new medical issue since most of my soft tissue is high AF...?

One of the things I enjoy about using my powerchair is that I am able to literally stop and smell the flowers. I love taking photos of the beauty around me.

I am not sure how these medical providers expect me to not put my full weight through my "good" foot when the other foot, ankle, knee, and hip are falling apart. I literally have no cartilage left in my bad ankle but I am somehow meant to hop on it?
Also, why do I have leaning teeth? 😳

I am back on the pain patches with the addition of more antihistamines. The pain reduction is so welcome, particularly with a new injury.
