Hey, it's me. Writer, reader, crafter, nerd, and amateur folklorist. Chronically ill (long covid) and won't be silent about it. We are still in a pandemic. Wish I was a tiny mouse living in a tiny mushroom. 🐭🍄 | She/her

An hour after making this sad post, I remembered I had received a package from a dear friend today that I hadn't opened. So I open it and find two books, and it was honestly such a bright little light in what is such a horrible time right now. Hate can't drive out light and love forever.

Just found out my favorite local used bookstore is owned by a proud pro-Trumper 😭 I am so upset. 😭

Every time I hear peers use language like "During COVID", "post-COVID", "During the pandemic", "back during COVID" -- I want to interrupt and say: "..you mean, now?" Language matters.

To everyone with "the flu": if you haven't tested for COVID, you sure as hell might have COVID. If you don't test, and have no proof that it was COVID, it can make it harder to get care/support if you develop #LongCovid. #ThePandemicIsNotOver #MaskUp

I feel both seen and called out 🤣

Mask bans kill disabled people. It’s a eugenics tool. By others not masking in solidarity, you’re saying your comfort and convenience is more important than our lives. Abled comfort and convenience do not outweigh disabled lives and safety. Does your “we keep us safe” include disabled people?

Reached for my computer mouse. Grabbed my mouse. It was not my mouse. It was my peanut butter bagel.

I am in tears over how stunningly gorgeous this is. What a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful piece.

I spent most of today watching the #criticalrole finale and doing pages in my junk journal, and considering how this weekend fucking started, it turned out pretty okay <3 Also what a finale. I'm just happy and feeling the love <3

Day two of covid and I feel bleh, but it feels more like a normal #longcovid crash from having a hugely stressful day yesterday. Fingers crossed I can ride this out quietly. 🤞Could use a win right now.

Things that were supposed to happen this weekend: my sister coming to visit!! Things that happened: Being completely blindsided by a positive covid test that was taken just as routine Either I'm asymptomatic or my baseline with #longcovid feels shitty enough already that i didnt motive. Lol. Fuck.

Well, I suppose one of the advantages of having to fast for labs for an appointment means I can spend longer in bed before I have to leave. 😝 #chronicillness

Apparently February is national embroidery month. Maybe I'll actually finish one of my half dozen embroidery projects I've got started 😅

When you write a line that you're super proud of, and then you have to google it to make sure you're not subconsciously stealing it from something else, because how could your brain come up with a line that good? 😅 #amwriting

*through clenched teeth* it's an adaptation, it's an adaptation, they're taking creative liberties because it's an adaptation... *bites phone in half*

My spoons are all plastic spoons that have been run through an extra hot dishwasher cycle 🙃 #chronicillness #spoonie

Rereading The Hunger Games trilogy for the first time since I was a teen. It really holds up remarkably well. #booksky

The #criticalrole Freaky Thursday one-shot is the best thing that's happened all week. I haven't been able to stop laughing. So much chaotic joy AND already so many donations made for LA wildfire relief. ❤️

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

No exaggeration, every single one of these goes through my head every single day. It's... a lot.

tmw you wake up bc there's an earthquake but you don't GET earthquakes where you live and so when you wake up shaking and tremoring all over you go "huh, guess my piece of shit body continues to be a piece of shit" and then don't find out what happened for several hours later 😝 #chronicillness

Wearing regular socks after being used to wearing compression socks is so weird. They feel like they're going to fall off, lol. #chronicillness
