I wish I could sort my e reader books by page count. Im trying to get through some of these unread books but it would go much quicker if I could read them starting with the shortest ones. 🙃

My husband, who never gets sick and we are pretty sure just *decided not to have covid* four years ago, is very sick. And somehow my boyfriend and I arent. And its wigging me out because I have a auto immune thing and if hes this sick and im not. What if im just not *yet*

Im about to have to put myself on a tiktok time out. Because my entire feed is book recs and my tbr already contains over 1300 books. I need to actually *read* what's already on the list instead of adding more every day 😬

Playing Mass Effect: Everyone you know: “Hi Shepard, I know we are tying to save all life in the galaxy but … I have a personal issue that can only be addressed by you personally doing some extreme violence 10,000+ light years away … so … yeah … when can you pencil that in?”

I just slept for like. 22 hours. I dont remember falling asleep. My body is so angry from laying in basically one position for almost 24 hours. Sometimes having partners who dont wake me up unless absolutely necessary (because I dont sleep enough) is frustrating. (Im not upset at them but oof.)

Pre ordered an e-book. Confirmation screen said "book will be delivered Jaunary 1, 1970" I was not aware I got the special time traveling edition of this e-reader. Im apparently getting a book... fifty five years ago? A book that won't be released until february.

Happy Solstice one and all.

Okay, but I love this cover of "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch." It's sooooo good. Have you ever wanted the Grinch song sung by the sexy Tim Curry pollution monster from Ferngully? You're welcome

I sneezed and dislocated/subluxed my shoulder. My life is a comedy of errors.

So one of my dogs is a "failed" service dog. Which is usually fine. Except when she decides to use her powers for... not quite evil but... nuisance... so my hip is out. And I was trying to get it to go back to where it belongs by popping my foot up on the back of the couch and rotating forward.

Mostly friendly reminder that all year, but *especially* during the holiday season, one should use their manners and at least basic kindness when interacting with retail employees. It costs *nothing* to say please and thank you, or acknowledge a "Hello, how are you today?". Retail work is *hard*

I have nearly a thousand books on my tbr list. I really need to stop adding books to it and actually start reading the books that are already on it and thin it down a bit, but I keep finding new books to add 😬

So a lot of autistic people have an issue with microfiber. Which i get, except for me its corduroy. I have a soul deep desire to scrub my skin within an inch of its life if I so much as *see* corduroy. The last time I touched corduroy I spent like 15 minutes trying to wipe the feeling off.

I've read approximately 112 books this year. And it will likely be more before the actual years end. And I mentioned this to 2 of my partners and they acted like I had sprouted a giant glittering mushroom from my forehead. They've been with me for over half a decade. How are they still surprised. 😅🤣

I'm back on a weird 8 hours of sleep then don't sleep for over 24 hours-> sleep for 3-5 hours two nights in a row then don't sleep for over 24 hours "sleep cycle"... again. I would *love* for my circadian rhythm to actually *have* rhythm. Thanks.

So one thing about being chronically ill at least in my experience with specifically *syndromes* (EDS, POTS, PCOS, etc.) Is that sometimes something new will start happening with your body and you have to be like "is this normal for my condition? Or should I maybe go to a hospital."

Mostly friendly reminder that if you do not understand the purpose/need for a device/invention. Its probably not for you. Its not a gotcha when you hop on the internet and call people using lid openers/sock pullers/etc "lazy". Those things were made to fulfill an actual need for other people.

I need to get my office, which is also my craft space, cleaned and organized. I want to get my office cleaned and organized. But my body has decided it doesn't want to. Every time I try to do cleaning and moving in my office my bpm kicks up to 140+ and I have to immediately stop and lay down. 🙃

No one deserves to starve. No one deserves to starve. No one deserves to starve. Most SNAP recipients work. They need SNAP because corporations refuse to pay a living wage. The rest are disabled, elderly or unpaid caregivers. People should be fed. Period.

So I've been sewing for over a decade at this point. And I've made renn faire garb but I've never really made clothing *for myself* from fabric. Crochet/knit yes. Leather/chainmaille garments. Also yes. But not fabric. So Im going to teach myself how. Cause I want clothes that fit properly so badly.

There is a section heading in the cookbook im reading that is just "Anything's a sandwich if you're not a coward" and I don't think I've ever felt so seen. (Book is "You Gotta Eat: Real-life strategies for feeding yourself when cooking feels impossible" by Margaret Eby)

So my husband is not neurotypical but hes "not as neurodivergent" as me. And he walked in on me listening (and singing) to music, while reading a book, while watching Stargate SG-1. And for a minute I thought his head was going to explode.

So I have dysfunction in my airway/vocal cords/esophagus/epiglotis/etc and explaining that I just randomly fail to swallow properly to somebody who hasnt experienced or even heard of vocal cord dysfunction is... an adventure.

It's snowing, and my joints are *pissed*. Im extremely tired of being punished by my body for having an inability to control the weather.

Me: "someday I will be able to move without sounding like a bowl of damp pop rocks" Sib: *long suffering pause* "don't say "damp pop rocks" ever again please. Also, thats not true and you know it, you have the joints of an over used wooden artists mannequin" Me: ".... rude."

Here with another book on my highly recommend list. "When the Tides Held the Moon" by Venessa Vida Kelley is *stunning*. I devoured it, unable to put it down once I started reading. Its got immigrant and LGBTQ+ representation, mermaids, sideshow history, and more. Its emotional & beautiful. 15/10

Center piece for the duster im currently working on. This is the first of four dusters I have planned.

Im so tired of finding a song that sounds like it might be okay and then looking at the credits and its "composer" is fuckin "ai generated content"

Whistles are one of the most accessible tools in resisting ICE. Here’s how to use them:

Let me be clear, in a wild goose chase scenario you would not be chasing the goose

Overheard conversation between my boyfriend and Marcel last night: BF: No, you can't touch my food with your paw. Marcel: Mew. BF: Why? I think you know why.

Someday I will be able to hear the phrase "let that sink in." Without my brain immediately conjuring the thought of a sink at a door. But today is not that day.

Im like 20 books away from my reading goal this year. And desperately wishing I could log fan fiction in my tracker 😅 cause if I could I'd probably have already met the goal.

If a word has some letters replaced with asterisks, this could confuse people. This includes people with cognitive and reading disabilities, and those learning the language. Screen reader users won't necessarily know what the word is meant to be, as it could sound like gibberish.

Oh how I miss the days when I wasn't "out of breath" making breakfast. Finished cooking, sat down, checked my watch cause I didnt feel good and my bpm was 146. Literally all I did was walk to the kitchen, pull ingredients and stand at the stove for 10 minutes.

I eat so much rice. I live in near constant fear that one day due to my plethora of chronic illnesses I will be told I should stop eating rice and then will not know what to eat, ever again, even though im a fairly accomplished cook. Because rice.

Wild turkeys are fascinating birds. They're bald heads are strange, but the colors are quite lovely. #birds #WildlifeWednesday #nature #wildlife 📷

Trying to get a proper diagnosis for any autoimmune disease is honestly fucking insane. I have had four doctors "diagnose" me with an "unidentified autoimmune disorder" now, *four* which is beyond unhelpful. Im so frustrated.

Daylight savings coupled with the weather/season change has my entire body in a state. Im exhausted and wide awake simultaneously. All of my joints feel like somebody used them for storing ice picks. My head has a goblin or gremlin or something in it with a drum set just banging away. Ugh.

I would really like it if my body would stop inverting my sleep cycle every two weeks. I, without fail, will sleep from 2200ish to 6ish for two weeks straight and then suddenly be awake for 36 hours straight. And then sleep from 8ish to 1600ish for two weeks on repeat no matter what I try. 🙃🙄

Please, for the love of the universe. Do not take medical advice from chatgpt. I don't feel like that sentence should exist. I don't feel like I should ever have to feel like that's something that needs said. And yet here we are. Again. Do not take medical advice from AI Chatbots. for fucks sake.

I need to be up to do morning animal/ farm chores in roughly three hours but I am currently dealing with sleep preventing nausea and it is extremely frustrating.

I will never understand the comments across social media that are cheering on the potential starvation of roughly 42 million people that depend on SNAP. What a vile country. NO ONE deserves to be hungry.

I somehow pulled a muscle in my neck and one in my arm. I do not know how I managed this. But tilting or turning my head is not a comfortable experience at the moment. (I dislocate my elbow all the time, so the arm thing is less of an annoyance)

I think im gonna start some of my holiday baking this week. Might make butter mints. Or potato candy... or almond peppermint bark... I may have to take a survey of all the people who eat my holiday baked goods/candies and determine where to start based on feedback 😅😂

Adding another book to my "highly recommend" list. Mandrake Manor by JP Rindfleisch IX. It is a *beautifully crafted* fantasy story about evil HOAs, found family, and caring for & protecting your community. There's queer representation, humor, witchcraft, werewolves, and more. It's stunning. 10/10

This. Very much this.

Every one deserves to eat. It’s that simple.
