I got them from Lady Epi's Shoppe and she has skirts as well.

Can you give me details as to where on the mountain? The Young person I'm asking for will be happy tromping around the woods.

A small white dog, lying on his side with his head leaning against a pair of legs in black pants with swords printed on one leg.

A small white dog with his tongue out in anticipation of playing with a toy held by a human partially kneeling in frame.

Coco updates. Him cuddling his rescue human, and being excited to play with Kathleen.

Anyone local to me (Vancouver BC) know where to #forage Nettles?

Me: My dysphoria isn't that bad
Also me: *screaming into my pillow that my mammogram results might take 3 weeks*

Canned tuna is disgusting.

My manager asked me if I was interested in training in AI and I said I'd rather focus on software changes coming up OH AND AI is terrible for the environment and we're a fucking environmental non-profit.

FFS I might need to take this to the department head.

A sketchy comic. Emma wears a ball cap that reads “LESBIAN.” She says, “honestly, it doesn’t always fit the best, but it has SO MUCH sentimental value…” She scowls, her teeth and fingers looking sharper than before, “and I will BITE anyone who tries to take it off me.”

a quick comic about “lesbian”

Aw fuck. That's gonna suck. I hope you get a new GP soon.

As someone who works in non-profits, it's interesting to read those critiques as well.

Okay 50 fucking pages in it's giving some material to take note of. But uggghhhh.

It feels very repetitive and 101. I'm balancing it with a queer graphic novel.

I'm currently white knuckling my way through a small book on mutual aid and it feels very repetitive. I'm 1/3 of the way through and it's just a struggle.

Not to mention, by most metrics, non-indigenous civilization has been a massive failure, in the sense that we are faced with the prospect of our total annihilation due to the implementation of that civilization.

I found a picture of @maydela.bsky.social and I 26 years ago and we were such BABIES and I'm so glad we're non-consensual non-platonic life partners.

For years psychiatrists seemed to think things were fine the minute I wasn't actively suicidal. It took years for me to believe my most recent psych who took it on himself to reduce my symptoms as much as possible. (Sadly he has left my area.)

Oh yeah. I have had some Very Bad reactions to meds that works great for others, and am on a not-recommended cocktail because it took three years to navigate my last med change (which was traumatic.) we need individualized care.

However when talking to my dog and/or strangers I can still jump up into my bright former register.

My voice has started changing which is *really nice*, I didn't expect it to be one of the first changes with low dose T. However it is strange to hear a voice I don't be recognize coming out of me.

I have officially had too many feelings today. A bunch of them are good feelings but some are also stressful. But at least I know why I keep finding blood clots in my hair*

*Insert comment about ancestral curses

Also I somehow lost my binder-sized day planner in my 700 sq foot house over the last 2 days and as someone with brain fog this is incredibly disregulating.

Just when your health is feeling manageable you INR comes back 50% higher than it should be.

Coco has started cuddling again. He's showing incremental recovery from his anxiety/regression. It's a relief to see him have better days.

In the past two weeks I've baked a cake and butter mochi, finished altering a pair of jeans, worked and remained mostly within my energy envelope.

I know that my race, class and educational background have also helped me access care. I think of the people who didn't have the privilege or stubbornness to seek and follow through with care plans.

My concern is that funding that would be allocated towards research and treatments gets cut. That there are no efforts to support folks seeking treatment. (Did you know in my major city there are currently no psychiatrists accepting patients with my relatively common diagnosis?)

Every time MAID is expanded I worry about it becoming another form of eugenics. If those of us who are disabled and require resources and support, instead being basically told that not living is the easiest option. I worry about us internalizing it.

I worry about this because I have an incurable psychiatric condition, which is complicated by other conditions. The last time I tried going without meds I wanted to die. With meds, I'm usually ok. I worry that a prolonged mood episode could have me applying for MAID.

Also if you don't have access DM me.
