Sexwork is work. Support sexworkers, however you can. Boost, buy, subscribe. Jess in particular is a good friend of mine off-site. So the engagement helps her out!

Shouting out my favorite game dev in history. This man's games literally saved my life (specifically New Vegas), not a euphonism. It gave me something to live for, however small, until I was able to get into therapy. That's the lifechanging power of art, people. Play games. Be changed.🥰

During Pride, this is so so so so so important. AIDS basically wiped out an entire generation of the LGBTQIA+ community. But we're still here, we're still queer, and we're not going anywhere. Say it loud, say it proud. As I do every year (I've not done it every day this year... no spoons, sorry):

Microsoft is a massive company. They absolutely had the money. They're just greedy assholes. Don't ever let them forget it.

Had both group and individual grief counseling today... I'm in a better headspace than I was. Interesting finding out from the group leader in individual therapy that I'm the reason 90% of the group members keep showing up... I... I really don't know what to do with that.

19 year anniversary with the nesting partner today. We went and had a lovely meal. We've been through thick and thin together. Still going. Now, we're gonna collapse. She had 2 doc appointments, and I have grief therapy tomorrow.

3 years ago today I lost one of the brightest lights in my life. My Calypso. I cannot put into words what she meant to me, what she STILL means to me. Cancer sucks. She was full of love, life, joy. She was fierce, unshakable, and didn't break, right up to the end. I love and miss you, Calypso.💔

The Elongated Muskrat has officially become a trillionaire. That's disgusting on so many levels. You can't even count that high in your lifetime. Only around 20 nations have a GDP that big. That is an absurdly large number. It is so fucking disgusting.

BUNKER DIMENSION!!!

It arrived. It was worth every single penny I was extorted for, too. Every single piece of it functions exactly as the real world counterpart. The bolt cycles. The mag ejects. The safety flips. The bipod extends. The buttstock folds. It even has pins I can remove and field strip it (which is good, ⤵️

As a note to most of my followers, these days I'm mostly active on my alt account, @stormcaptweaver.bsky.social. I just don't have the energy to people. Health is bad. I just want to be a silly goose about games and my blorbos. Follow me there. Or don't, I ain't your mom.

$20.70 of that is JUST from UPS's import handling. $12 is the actual tariff. The rest of it is the actual shipping and handling from the seller. Still, ~224%. Just. Insane. I'll never buy from Machinegun Figures again, that's a fact.

I understand shipping. I understand some things are more expensive because tariffs. What I do *NOT* understand is how I'm paying $74.05 in shipping, taxes, and fees on a $32.95 item. Patently absurd.

To follow up on this, an ACTUAL Countach LP5000QV only costs about $100k more than the scale model.

Ah, changing my transmission fluid actually *FEELS* better than taking a pill. Why? It feels more medical. They ultimately have the same impact (injections are better for the liver, I've heard), this just FEELS more clinical, like I'm doing more for my transition.

I am upset there is no 1/6 scale 1985 Lamborghini Countach LP5000QV Model. And that the 1/8 Scale costs nearly a half million dollars. What. And I cannot stress this enough. THE FUCK.

Hey chat, I have a question: Why can places like OpenAI and Google train their LLMs on copyrighted material and get the fuck away with it, but tiny ass YouTube channels get shut the fuck down for using FAIR FUCKING USE? Make it make sense. Make it make sense someone, I'm begging you.

Starfield. Fallout 4/76/Insert Bethesda Game Here (SHAMELESS BGS fangirl). Bioshock Infinite (one of my favorite games). Postal 2 (I've been playing the Postal games so long it's not funny). Bunch of other ones, but those are the biggest, probably.

If Ani is short for Anakin, and Obi is short for Obi-wan, what is Luke short for?

Watched #ProjectHailMary last night (Wednesday). Good flick. Left with many important science questions they got wrong though. Biggest is, since he's an adult, why is Ryan Gosling not named Ryan Goose?

I just fell and broke *WAY* too many bones...

Guys, gals, and non-binary pals, I have had the most brilliant idea. #Helldivers2 artillery shell lipstick holder. Twist the artillery barrel to turn the carousel!

And of course, when I commented on the episode, people chime in disagreeing with me. Because "Oh, it was just a little liquid courage so she could make the first move! MC did no wrong!" NO. DRUNK PEOPLE CANNOT CONSENT. The minute inebriation comes into play, CONSENT IS IMPOSSIBLE.

Friendly reminder (cause watching anime with the trope) DRUNK PEOPLE CANNOT CONSENT.

AND I won my housing lottery in FFXIV! So my birthDAY was shit, but everything after it has more than made up for the shitty. I'm feeling pretty good, chat. Praise Apollo!🌞

Today is the First of May. Celebrate accordingly.

Just got home from watching the SATCHVAI BAND with Animals as Leaders opening. HOLY SHIT that concert was amazing. Top 5 of All Time. Absolutely INSANE. 10/10 would recommend. Just... So insanely good. Seeing Vai and Satch on stage together, jamming? Transcendent. GETTING SEAT UPGRADES TO VIP? ⤵️

"You know what really kills me about all of this? It's the clothes you're going to get. YOU DON'T DESERVE THEM YOU EAT CARBS FOR GOD'S SAKE!"

CHAT. I just saw someone reframe Neurotypical People's desire to chitchat and smalltalk as a verbal stim. IT MAKES SO MANY SENSE NOW. And their special interest is the weather! GOOD GODS, MAN. IT MAKES. SO. MUCH. SENSE.🤣

I likely won't have my full set of paint until Tuesday. It vexes me. I'm terribly vexed. /Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator Voice

Chat. I've run out of Anime to watch. I'm not saying I've watched ALL THE ANIME EVAR. I'm just saying that in the past 12 months I've watched over 150, and like... Now I'm seeing the same tropes in so many, and they're getting samey. I NEED FRESH MEAT.

I have *SO MUCH* model paint on the way. @blogofmanythings.art I'm about to do SO much mini painting. I can't say it's gonna be pretty, I got a whole bunch of minis and paint and brushes and even a set of airbrush paint to use with the airbrush I got for my birthday half a decade ago! EXCITE.

"He can probably sense your tainted soul" *Bluerin noms down on Usato's hand as well* "I guess your soul is tainted and the taint is delicious." "Must be."

You gotta feel kinda bad for pastors on Easter and Christmas when you think about it, those are busy weekends. Churches packed cause all the decaff christians show up. It's recruitment weekend. They gotta try and think about how to get those twice a year jokers to upgrade their sub to weekly.

Just found out my mom is in the ER with a heart attack. Not really sure how I feel about that. She's... not the nicest woman. Rather abusive. But she IS my mother. So... 🤷‍♀️

Surgery complete..I feel like shit. Fuck all this.

Turns out the appointment was just the pre-surgical stuff for anesthesia. 6 more days of this damn tooth in my head. 6 more days of suffering.

World's biggest diva in music: Dennis DeYoung. That's it. That's the post.

You lot? I'm sick as fuck. I do not feel well. I do believe it may be related to the tooth I need extracted on the 9th. Coupled with my *very* much hurts bad kidney stone. I'm gonna take *heavy* pain meds that sedate the fuck out of me and go the fuck to sleep.

Breakfast of champions

Absolutely gorgeous. Our beautiful blue marble. Shame we're so petty, and can't take joy in the fact that WE ARE HERE, against all odds, we are here. Ignore the flat earth QRPs, you know there's gonna be. Just remember "a 15° per hour drift" any time one of the willfully ignorant rear their head.

Man FUCK kidney stones.

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility to all my trans friends! #TransRightsAreHumanRights!

Still convinced it's not a systematic erasure of trans people? Cis people who claim to be allies: STAND THE FUCK UP AND SAY SOMETHING. For the love of the gods. They're out here fucking killing us.

Okay kids. Ima let you know the secret to being a cool and interesting person: Be nice, be kinda funny a little, have things you like, and put love out there and youll get it back I promise. Being kinda funny and nice has opened more doors for me than perceived work ethic or intelligence ever has.

Dunno who cares, but I wrote 6,253 words today. Plugged two chapters on Legend of the Fallen Prince, brought the word total up to nearly 37k. For reference, that's how long Prince of Ice was BEFORE the editing process (it's now 43k). And no, this is a NOVEL, not NOVELLA. Not even 1/4 done.

I am running a fever. I do not know how or why. This... bothers me.

Ended up getting nearly 3100 words from Ellacos' PoV. Had some real fun with that one. Working on a chapter from Ellaglas' PoV now, this one should be a lighter chapter, since he and Diego are going to clash over the fact that [spoilers].

I love how in #EPIC "Different Beast," after Ody says "cut off their tails," the chorus changes from "WE are a different beast now," to "HE is a different beast now," like "WOAH there Abyssysseus, slow your roll mate... That's a lil' dark even for YOU! Uh... HE is a different beast, that ain't us!🤣"

Sitting down to work on Legend of the Fallen Prince, and I realize why I stepped away. Spoiled for choice on who's PoV to work on next. Do I work on Motus the Enlightened, and show the direct effects of Brother Od's mantling by the Kinslayer? Do I work on Finiron, and show the last living ⤵️
