Hello everyone, meet Mishaisle Launcher (Misha) and Lucerne Hammer (Lucy) 💖
Anyway you should hire me to write a safety tool for your game
I like the other parts of game design too, but designing safety tools is the perfect combination of puzzling how to fit a thing in another thing and also doing something out of love for humanity that really gets me excited
I spent like 3 hours talking about game design yesterday and now all I want to do is write bespoke safety tools for every game.
This sounds cute and nice! I'm excited to read it!
If I end up writing a 50 page lyric game, it's all @trueryankhan.bsky.social's fault
You can dm me or message me on discord if you have questions, or want to complain. I hope all of this is temporary for you!
For showering I would recommend getting a shower stool or chair. They are aren't too expensive, usually pretty easy to thrift, and they make everything so much easier. I prefer a stool cause it fits better in my small shower.
Lots of mobility aid/home health places rent them short term to try
If getting up after you wake up causes your head to spin or your vision to black out, try propping your head up with pillows (or even the top of your bed with risers). I don't find it helpful, but I know it's useful for a lot of people.
I have POTS, which can sometimes develop after COVID and for that generally you want to increase blood volume with hydration (like 3-4L a day) and electrolytes (sodium and potassium especially). Hydralyte is my favourite electrolyte supplement, but liquid IV works, although it's really sweet
I do think if I didn't have to work to live, I would be putting on a lot more free concerts
Like if I suddenly didn't have to work for a living anymore, I would certainly do a lot of resting, especially in the beginning, but working generally prevents me from doing the creative work I feel is my vocation and that work is intrinsically public, I would eventually feel just as restricted
I've been thinking about this over yesterday and this morning and while I do think Em's point of resisting productivity culture is important, I don't know if I could actually keep up with this for a whole year.
I can give you some advice about heart racing stuff if you'd like, I have a similar medical issue
So sorry 💜
I start with whatever is fastest and/or easiest to try and get things off my plate
Making something with my hands away from my desk (a meal, a craft, rearranging a corner of my house) is probably my favourite.

Love to you and your family
Jeff and I have a joint piano/voice student and she's in the piano portion of her lesson discovering that she loves plagal cadences and it's very nice actually
Change so far not bad! Only one minor charge related injury (I hit my knee on a table that wasn't there before)
today is first day of what I expect to be a series of Big Life Changes™️ (not pregnant) and I am excited but also change scary
I really gotta figure out how to get a hungarian tutor. It's just too complicated to do by myself even with my old textbooks and class notes
Those cards are cooooll
You're so right oh my god
It is incredibly funny to me that they are playing Dad rock in the fertility clinic
Carney majority is a real monkey's paw moment tbh
