spanish guitar is a new one for hold music for me.

…is anyone else having trouble with bsky’s login servers and/or external embeds? my ipad logged me out and I can’t log back in (but I’m fine to use it on my phone) and Discord’s not pulling embeds when I link posts.

tfw you have to sit on your hands not to infodump Unsolicited Advice on someone complaining about a covid vaccine reaction. (I have asked if they want advice, but now I have to sit on my hands while I wait for their reply. And possibly after, if they just want to complain and don’t want advice.)

my hubris knows no bounds, I had a dark beer and potstickers (with soy sauce) for lunch and did not spill any on myself

living dangerously (wearing a white top)

"...an entire album? I don't even have to pick a single *song*?" says the ADHD woman with subclinical autistic tendencies whose sanity is not at risk in the slightest. Anyway, Black Parade probably.

It depends on the individual store, but a lot of Ace Hardware stores are employee owned cooperatives, too!

ah, yes, the headache gets worse if I lay down for too long. just what I fucking wanted.

I have given up and taken some benadryl and a salt bomb about my fucking bladder. The IC continues to be my single most annoying goddamn MCAS symptom.

Get your writing projects figured out for the year now with an affordable premade cover. No generative AI--all design elements are licensed assets by real photographers and artists. There are new ones in the shop as I work on retooling my site. payhip.com/IndigoChickD...

the one real problem with my portable TENS unit is that I only have two pucks for it, grumble grumble. (I am not buying another set until I see how I'm doing once I've recovered from surgery.)

today’s work fit, as I’ve finally dug my jewellery out and put it away in the new armoire so it’s actually all findable.

body, a day before I have to come off the NSAIDs is NOT THE FUCKING TIME for you to start up again with the fucking costochrondritis

love to be scolded for not doing something that I did in literally my last message in the group chat I am being scolded in. your inability to read your fucking texts does not constitute a failure to communicate on MY part.

Yeah watching this on repeat it’s pretty much going to be the rest of my day.

Ah, we have now achieved knots of “fuck you” that the muscle relaxants, the pain meds, the heated massage pad, the massage ball, the chirp wheel, AND the massage gun on high can barely control. The TENS unit can distract from it while it’s going but doesn’t really touch it either.

I would really like my bad hip’s hip flexor to stop Existing Loudly At Me. Yes, hip flexor, I *know* we haven’t been doing aerial and handstands. This is not something you need to remind me of by screaming about being existential.

Sleep has, at least, reset the fucking headache down to a bearable level. Still, y’know. Present and unignorable, but bearably so.

you know, i have a lot of symptoms that are really bad about this neck fuckshit, but i think the one that is absolutely wearing me out the most is the goddamned headache that never. fucking. ends.

timed mutes when, bluesky. timed mutes fucking WHEN.

I would apologise for being back on my Batfamily bullshit but I’m a) not sorry, b) most of you knew what you were getting when you followed me anyway, c) this is better for all of us than doomscrolling would be anyway

Film noir goddess. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

apparently today @rahaeli.bsky.social and I will be amusing ourselves by gender flipping various Robins. AFAB cis girl Dick is too depressing to contemplate for long, but trans woman who transitions in her 20s Dick is actually not! (or even in her teens, although that’s definitely *messier*)

By request: an baby

Anybody near Raleigh want a kitten? This is not my kitten but sometimes the kitten distribution system works in mysterious ways.

I have a headache, my hip is killing me, my neck is its ongoing bullshit, I spent the day dealing with SDS at work, and I can’t even go home yet because Bookman’s trade counter is taking for fucking ever. When I get home I’m taking a shower and faceplanting into bed, I swear to fuck.

guess who got her DNA back and is a CYP2C19 rapid metaboliser!! (I would not actually have called it being that *specific* cytochrome enzyme, but I was pretty goddamn certain there was going to be at least one rapid metaboliser variant in there.)

because we can all use more adorable tuxie girls purring delightedly

god damn it, I took a nap before dinner because I was thrashed and dozing off and now I can’t fucking sleep.

tangentially, reminded that I serve a translator function for some folk for cirque acrobatics as I was a competitive gymnast when I was younger and am a pretty serious non-pro aerialist, so I know *exactly* how hard shit is, and listening to me swear at the professionals is very enlightening ig lol.

lmao I have heard the radio edit of MCR’s I’m Not Okay for the first time and “I’m really not okay” is a hilariously inadequate substitute for the line “I’m not o-fuckin’-kay”.

I asked Tâf if she wanted to go take a cute photo playing in the snow and she said nah

*laughs bleakly in second-gen SFF fan* how long you got?

Sprained my ankle playing video games. No, not DDR. I was sitting on my ass the entire time.

y’all i have a new high water mark in cybertruck wtfery

NYC theatre nerds, question for you! a friend needs to find a current-run show unlikely to trigger sensory meltdown for their AuDHD kid for a trip to NYC for a couple of live shows. things that work are typically small shows, not a lot of effects or noise, tending towards thoughtful and quiet.

slept ten hours, checked discord, saw news, loaded my skyline, promptly closed my skyline two minutes later. I’ll be playing balatro and on Discord if anyone needs me for the next couple days, I’m noping out of stewing myself in the miasma.

Introduce yourself with something that almost killed you: Hi, bsky, I'm breach at delivery, pneumonia, a capsized boat in winter, chronic pain and being a teenage girl in modern Western society with attendant mental health impacts, falling out of a loft window, and wisdom tooth infection/abscess.

bofa advertising your child’s first debit card, complete flexible parental controls, mobile and online banking available at age six, and I don’t know if I feel old or just disoriented as fuck

I have won at PT, by which we mean I have been discharged for lack of improved symptoms without them having made anything worse, wheeeee. Now my DNA just needs to get back…

since bsky's discussing what you'd swear into public office on: #DCAEUoD Lex took his oaths as Senator KS-I (2015, 2021) and President (2025) on the Kent family bible. a promise and a reminder to himself there are some moral compromises he cannot allow himself in the name of the good of the many.

someone save me from committing another Elise pendant (I already have many and also I need to unfuck my jewelry storage before I buy ANY more jewelry!) by buying all of her on sale pretties before the sale ends

Five hours and twenty-three minutes left until all that super-marked-down stuff goes back to full price at midnight Minneapolis time. There are 74 things left in the shop. www.etsy.com/shop/Lioness...

I have won on gold stake on 9 of the decks in Balatro, only 6 to go for my second completionist badge! Currently battling the erratic deck, which is actually fun but also frustrating because there are NO reliable strategies, heh. You just gotta look at the deck the RNG handed you and roll with it.

this, tbh. I'm 40, trying to survive til surgery on the 20th, with a shitton of stuff that ideally needs done before the surgery but who tf knows on any given day what my ability is going to be. I do not have much energy to bring to 2026, i def don't have energy to find a gif of a flattened pancake.

I'm not and have never been close to perclexed, but we've drifted in and out of the same circles since Ye Olden Days of Smallville fandom on LJ; can we get her taken care of in advance of her surgery? Her minimum is $350 and her relief goal is only $750!

because I feel everyone could use a sweet orange cat purring his head off
