having a chronic illness means going to bed with both a heating pad and an ice pack

listening to an ep of my fav podcast from a couple months ago. a listener wrote in about kindle alternatives and their answer was basically “all ereaders are made by big corporations and all big corporations are evil, there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism” implying it just doesn’t matter

having a new chronic illness is so annoying bc what’s baseline fatigue and what’s not? what’s my adhd and what’s my brain just not working? then you have so much anxiety and depression about your disability not allowing you to do anything, which just adds to the fatigue and lack of function

This should be the standard everywhere. If they're gonna force ai into every part of our lives, we deserve to know where it will be ahead of time and opt out.

my mood and energy trackers are equally depressing (i also don’t like that whole numbers are in the middle instead of on the line)

The older generations' disdain for younger generations is partly to blame for the younger generations' failures Older generations are supposed to pass down knowledge/experience to the younger generations; we shouldn't mock the younger generations when we fail to set them up with a strong foundation

1/ Tear gas was created to incapacitate grown men. So when I started seeing reports of kids hurt by tear gas deployed by federal immigration agents, I wondered how often it was happening. My colleagues and I started to count:

love that we queued things on tumblr, actually. no spam, just nicely timed reposts

devastating when i’m tired enough to go to bed early but too tired to actually get up and go to bed, leading me to go to bed later than i would have liked 😔

i haven’t been the same since watching Eight Belles go down, i can’t believe this shit is still legal

I’m feeling quite nervous for my beloved podcasts on MaxFun because it’s the last day of their two week fundraising drive (they’re a worker coop network! It’s rad!!) and I really don’t want folks to lose their jobs or for me to lose my podcasts. Consider joining up?

me now vs the hair i want back… but i’m trying to get a ~professional~ job 😔

my mom: why are they kissing so early in a hallmark movie? my mom, looking at the movie info: oh it’s a NETFLIX movie, not a HALLMARK movie

I don’t think I can take another news cycle of Democrats solemnly tutting about how violence is never the answer while Republicans promise to put their political enemies and whatever immigrants they can find in a wood chipper

yknow my mental illness was already debilitating and adding a physical disability that keeps me from working or having any kind of social interaction or feeling capable of doing anything has sure not helped

ALL THE OTHER SHIT? WELL I GUESS THAT'S MY FAULT MAYBE

re-reading Jurassic Park and thinking “why would i bother reading books that don’t make me feel like this.” Crichton is imperfect for sure but damn he’s a good writer

also none of the mutuals feeds on here actually work

me: damn that thing in the wall has been making noise under the sink for a while now… it would be crazy if it were stuck in my trashcan the mouse stuck in my trashcan: 😳

the racism rampant on goodreads is soooooo…

I made this years ago and I always forget to post it but NOT THIS YEAR

Also if anyone wants to feed me today, rent is due tomorrow and I'm broke as hell 🤪

left my house for something other than a doctor’s appointment for the first time in over 3 months 🥳 i was so exhausted that i barely managed to stay awake after i got home, but i still did it and tentatively don’t feel horrible from it

reminder for others who need to cancel peacock now that the Olympics are done 😌

the problem with fatigue and brain fog (and neurodivergence, honestly) is that i find it incredibly difficult to quantify my symptoms, so it can be really difficult to figure out when they’re improving or getting worse :/

my reading experience has really been changed by @pagebound.bsky.social! i started note-taking while reading a few months ago, which had already made me more engaged in the books i read. but the forums on pagebound allow me to have a buddy read experience with the whole site! 1/2

listen i love my local library but they only give us 7 days for audiobooks on libby and i think that’s slightly evil…

my ignorance may be because acnh was my first animal crossing, but what are people looking for in a new animal crossing that would differ significantly from acnh?

hope i can do an extra big bday party next year to make up for not having one this year

guys we should’ve kept some of those froyo places around

curled up in bed with my bonnet, sleep mask with built-in headphones, CPAP, noise machine, and mouthguard i would not have survived ye olden days. for a multitude of other reasons but also this

It's 2026. Puberty blockers have been banned on the basis of a fake study conducted by a generalist paeditrician. Hormones for under 18s have been banned on the basis of a fake review conducted by a head injury specialist. Both remain available for cis kids because that's 'different' somehow

accidentally staying up too late finishing an audiobook and then realizing it’s going to be 3am in half an hour 😟 (it’s currently 1:30am)
