My back is demanding I rest today and after even five minutes scrolling social media I’m taking an offline day too.

Took my big feelings about shit going on this week out on my kitchen. So now every surface in the kitchen is clean except the disaster my husband makes of the stove. Which I’ll probably get mad enough at tomorrow.

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

Took another Ubrevly today because the migraine was still having on but I was able to get some work done! Photo shows my migraine friendly office with the curtains drawn to dim the room. Yes I still need to get a second set of panels but even this was comfortable.

Random Norrie content. She is so extra.

Air quality popped up to over 100 for a bit yesterday and set off a migraine overnight. I took an Ubrevly for the first time around 11. It took til now and a nap after breakfast to fully do its thing but I feel mostly normal and just a little worn out. So I think this might be a win?

There’s too much happening all at once so this is my blanket denouncement of anything I haven’t talked about in social media recently. I’ve been vocal elsewhere just not always online. Because it’s ✨exhausting✨.

Entering the stage of fascism where comedians can no longer make jokes about the administration is terrifying actually. If you voted for this, didn’t vote, or voted 3rd party in the last election kindly see yourself out. If you don’t think this is a BIG PROBLEM definitely let the door hit you.

I— You know what. I’m exhausted from this timeline. I might have to hop into underhill for awhile and write there. Fae politics are sounding way safer right now.

Norrie is earning her middle name (naughty) while Pixel is claiming my chair as hers now. I guess I’ll sit on the floor then. #AuthorSky #WritingCommunity

“Why are authors being so political. I’m here for books and to talk about writing.” Bestie, sit down I have some news for you (that shouldn’t be news at all since I’m not even remotely the first to say this) …

RSI has nearly settled. Shoulder is better and the nerve signals have stopped being confused in my arm. Hands are still complaining when I make a fist and carrying my coffee cup hurts but hopefully by Monday I can function with compression gloves.

Now that my office is done I’m treating a nasty RSI in my right hand and shoulder. Once it settles a little more I finally get to enjoy my hard work!

My office is DONE and I am in love. I have no idea what to write on the walls yet but I have the OPTION to haha.

Am I happy people were shot today? No. Am I more pissed that children were not only shot today but barely acknowledged because some fascist died? Yes. Abso-fking-lutely. Am I upset the fascist has more grief and sympathy than the Minnesota reps in June? You betcha. I want off this train.

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

Sneak preview of my project! Unless you’re on discord then you’ve probably seen all my WIP photos. Touchups with white tomorrow and room reassembly. Decorations up on Wednesday probably. (Join me in the Pavilion! I post about my writing and cats. discord.gg/xfAYXbGUZP)

I sanded part of my wall today. Should’ve sooner but honestly this project is built off ✨vibes ✨ and I didn’t realize how textured the wall was where I’m putting the fun paint.

Yeah our chalk line was so totally straight there. 😅🙄 Whoops. I think I did okay though. We shall pretend there isn’t a pile of discarded tape off screen from redoing the first two rows like three times.

Off to buy lots of paint! 👀

I think I’ll finally have my new migraine meds in hand now that I don’t currently need them. Yay US healthcare.

BREAKING: In a shocking upset minutes ago, Democrat Catelin Drey just FLIPPED an Iowa State Senate seat from red to blue and broke the Iowa GOP's supermajority in the state senate.

Without downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

Looks like we’re trying Ubrevly next. But I have to wait for med approval. Someone send positive vibes to the universe it doesn’t take them literally weeks to do it.

You know that thing people say about how computers can’t be held accountable so they shouldn’t make these kinds of decisions? Yeah, I think that the person who provides this kind of thing should be held accountable.

Head feels okayish tonight. But the never ending pressure is -still there-. Gods I hope I can get the med I want to try tomorrow.

BREAKING: Judge temporarily bars Kilmar Abrego Garcia's deportation after being detained by ICE again U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis blocked Abrego Garcia's removal until she can hold another hearing, set for later this week. He was detained again three days after he was released from custody.

Migraine #6 for August started. I kinda knew last night since the lights did weird optical shit again but. Appt tomorrow to try to get my hands on different meds. These things are affecting my mental health and ability to filter myself when talking to people. I’m not okay.

I’m not okay

No cheating, post the last pic of your pet. I present Le Pouf. Pixel scared herself this morning. My mouse pad was on the couch upside down and the cat tunnel was on my gaming lapboard on the floor. Not even sure what happened as I was still coming downstairs when I heard a big crash.

Day … fuck if I know … of migraines this month. Let’s go with 19 because it probably started around the 1st. Doctor next week to see if I should try different meds or something.

Convo in discord reminded me of the time when a nurse gave me the dirtiest look when I said I took continuous birth control and said “but you let yourself have a period occasionally right? To clean everything out?” Normalize sharing period facts and dispelling myths: impossible difficulty.

Talking about Newsome vs Trump in my server, and how you could replace Newsome with (practically) anyone and it'd still be an easy choice, NOT TRUMP! anyway I suggested Darth Vader and then. everyone ready for my other suggestion? . . . Danzō.

I’m living for this post saga right now. *prepares more popcorn*

New episode just dropped

Oh look the limo is now komprom(ised).

If my choices of candidates are a christofascist authoritarian vs a shitty human who believes in our democracy… I’m NOT picking the fascist. Full stop.

SPEAK UP!!! WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER FRICKIN SOCIAL TO NUKE NSFW CONTENT ONCE THEY GOT ENOUGH USERS! CENSORSHIP ALWAYS LEAD TO BANNING QUEER, BPOC, DISABLED PPL IMPORTANT CONTENT NEXT!

A lot of people have been saying today, “Newsom isn’t my favorite person by any means but he’s stepping up like more governors need to.” And at this point I’ll take anything that is fighting fire with fire. Even (especially) the epic troll posts from Newsom’s social media team.

I’ve had three migraines this month so far and I’m just over it all.

I love thunderstorms but why can’t the good ones happen while I’m not trying to sleep? In other news, the lightning strike that woke me up was on my street 5 houses away according to weatherbug. Whee. Also the neighbors sprinklers are running. In the rain. Make it make sense.
