UVA actually has opened an Ehlers-Danlos clinic, and my referral has actually been accepted! I got the call early this morning. After so long of struggling on my own, I will have a specialist in this disorder working with me. I can’t quite believe it. #EDS #disability

Yay! If you join, let me know and follow me so I can cheer you on.

Industrious I am. I have found candidates. What do you think?

Goal: knit hat and gloves (and perhaps even sweater) similar to the ones worn by Zelda Adams in Where the Devil Roams. Alas, @adamsfamfilms.bsky.social, there are only artfully blurry and dark photos online. What’s a horror knitter to do? Bobbles, lace and cables ahoy in my future!

Better, Covid-wise. I think the beast is gone.

It's a blurry vision today, but eff that noise, I am recording my podcast. I'll just squint at the script like Mr. Magoo.

This gif is so me. I am amusing myself greatly with it.

I did. Good, full rest with a @stephenking.bsky.social audiobook--did not move during the entire duration of Gwendy's Magic Button. Didn't even fidget.

It's served me well, you admit. You kinda have to be super stubborn when your mind always wants you to faint and your joints bend the wrong way. 😆

I think my computer sticker says it all. "Never forget that Jesus was a brown-skinned healer, who empowered women, destroyed religious systems, loved the rejected, opposed our fascinations with power, and flipped the tables of oppression. His mission was neither lights, stages, nor influence."

I can picture this so clearly.

Getting there. Only the exhaustion is left. But you know how stubborn I am—more stubborn than Covid. 😁

You need this. A purple one.

Back in the groove. Preparing episode 102 of There Might Be Cupcakes Podcast and listening to NIN's soundtrack for TRON:Ares. Take that, Covid!

Finished A Disability History of the United States (bookshop.org/a/6560/97808...) by Kim E. Nielsen and I have Thoughts and Feelings about my identity as that person in the red power wheelchair. Nielsen really connected the intersection of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia & ableism. #booksky

Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath

Finished all 1184 pages of Red Comet: The Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath (bookshop.org/a/6560/97803...) by Heather Clark. I don't know quite what to do with myself now. I must take myself well in hand and dry my tears. Yes, I cried. #booksky More coherent thoughts to follow later.
