Finally have an answer for why I haven't been able to function 'normally' despite my physical health gradually improving. I feel like I'm falling apart because of burnout. Specifically 'Autistic Burnout.' I've made the decision to get help and started the assessment process so I can improve my QOL.

Crawling out of my hidey-hole for a moment to post a guide on my blog I've had in rough draft form for close to a year 😥 Currently trying to stay hopeful that I can live a more normal existence soon. I have some of my balance and mobility back! It just costs a wild amount for all the meds 🫠

You know what makes your face glow effortlessly and gives you glass skin? Being kind to retail workers and customer support instead of displacing anger & taking out feelings on strangers!

Used @maridah.com’s vampire cape pattern for my cloak base without the collar.

I really, really, REALLY want to delete Twitter. I hate that @ become reusable 30 days after deactivation. I've dealt repeatedly in the past with impersonation so relinquishing an account I've been active on since 09 for anyone to resurrect to would be bad. I guess I'm leaving it to rot instead.

I'm just now over being sick with some horrid respiratory thing I caught from seeing family over the holidays, which was the one single time I went out in months. I'm starting to feel like a man in a top hat should be predicting the weather based on me emerging from my hole in the ground.

If you need a short break from doom scrolling, may I offer you a post about the basics of fabrics? maridah.blog/a-very-basic... It includes a FREE stretch chart you can download & print for use judging the % of stretch in fabrics! ✂️

Need a project to work on? I've put up some cosplay accessory files & small project stuff on ko-fi for FREE! 🎉 ko-fi.com/maridah/shop I'll add more freebies to this page as time allows.

I'm going to be modifying this Swashbuckler coat pattern by @maridah.bsky.social Link for anyone interested! maridah.shop/products/swa...

Every single time the news feed on my phone shows a picture of the NYC assassin I experience a cortisol spike because I keep thinking it is showing me a picture of Kevin ( ꩜ ᯅ ꩜;) OBVIOUSLY it isn't him but damn.

Some belated Echoes of Wisdom Zelda photos! Ironically using the same pattern to make Minister Lefte. 📷: photocaptor Pattern: modular medieval dress + wild cape from @maridah.bsky.social Tri rod + crown: @dangerousladies.bsky.social

Been meaning to share the most unhinged and incredible gift my friends @queenriot.bsky.social made and gifted me for my birthday this year… ✨✨ ENDLESS EYEBROWS ✨✨ I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate this level of bonkers gift giving 🤌

Easily my favorite show this year #Fallout #art

Do any of y'all know if there is a tool yet for helping to find Twitter users on Bsky? Going to give myself an ulcer over having executive dysfunction trying to rebuild on here. I feel stressed out about missing following people and not being quick to follow back mutuals etc (ó﹏ò｡)

“But courage need not be remembered, for it is never forgotten” I still love my BotW Zelda! I really want to do her Tears of the Kingdom dress next year! Zelda dress pattern by @maridah.bsky.social Zelda jewelry by @dangerousladies.bsky.social #lozcosplay #zeldacosplay #cosplay

It has been a minute but I’ve been making some cosplay things for the heck of it!

I've been in the process of migrating my blog to new hosting this year, with the intent of shifting the focus to be nearly all tutorial based. I had been intending to eventually make a blog post explaining how health has limited the kind of content I make, but now I don't know if it is wise to so.

Gosh, she’s going to be perfect. I’ve been working on my Lina Inverse cosplay since 2017. As soon as I get her armor done, she’ll be ready for her debut next summer 🙏🏽 Everything made by me. Shirt pattern by @maridah.bsky.social
