I am not a mess, I'm an accidental work of art. It is called absurdism.

Three months after the accident and this is how far I can bend my knees unassisted! Progress! Goal is to get them back to full range of motion by next year. My previous flexibility, I could put my feet by my butt and lay fully on the floor. I do my at home PT every day and see progress all the time!

There is lots of advice out there for people who are afraid of being alone. What are some good ideas you know of for people who fear trusting people?

I made frogs.

I'm autistic and I stand by other autistic people, no matter their abilities.

I need to get up, but I'm buried under cats.

Tiny origami, made using tweezers. I have to make 140 of the leaves and 80 of the flowers for a tree I'm working on.

Sexy socks.

Sometimes I remember that High School teacher I had many years ago that showed us Schindler's List and then said that most Nazis were following orders. "Anyone could become a Nazi," he told us. I didn't know then that I would witness how wrong he was, that I would live to see who becomes Nazis.

Fish.

Everything is so confusing right now, I can't tell what's my concussion or what is the world is on fire, we're entering WWIII, and I'm living in a proto dictatorship led by an Edison reincarnate puppetmaster who thinks Lara Croft boob-shaped cars are cool.

Hilarious thing that'd be effective & impactful? Stickers w/ faces of certain people in the style of missing children campaigns. Info would say, "we wouldn't miss you." Could be stealthily put on milk cartons in stores. If anyone had ability, just saying that'd be funny. Not saying anything else. 👀

If anyone uses Finch, I'm using it to help with my concussion recovery. Tap the link to add me as a friend, or add my friend code L22S6VE4A3. app.befinch.com/share/7iqK

I'm allowed to blow my nose again! For those who like updates on all the things involved with recovering from being smacked hard by about two tons of metal and plastic, I wrote an update! gofund.me/d82b29e1

Ear rubs are one of the most important things in life. At least, that's what this vibrating fuzzy tells me.

I don't remember, but I think this is the first public picture of my face since the accident. You can see that there's a dent on the left side of my nose, now, and it is crooked. My left cheek is swollen because the bones and nerve are still healing. My left nostril may need surgery at some point.

@alissaazar.bsky.social I'm following you just because of your anti-fascist work today. Fucking awesome. Good job!

To help see what my brain is doing and to provide therapy for it, I'm doing a lot of logic and word games. I need variety. Name your favorite android puzzle/logic word games to help me manage my concussion.

It is now going to be more important to wash your vegetables properly. Use vinegar or baking soda, depending on the situation. www.sciencealert.com/a-microbiolo...

Additionally, break rules. Figure out what consequences they can and can't enforce and push boundaries that are safe for you.

Any place that you have personal info that you aren't doing actual personal business in, you can still change your info. You can still throw them off some. Go ahead and make a mess where you can. Just because you don't have power in one place doesn't mean you shouldn't take power in another.

I now totally understand why when our pets are sick, they're so hard to manage. In my head, I think I should be able to get up and dance and do what I used to. My broken body, though, can't lift my feet off the ground more than an inch. I'm getting better, but I'm impatient. I need a healing potion.

@restingdinoface.bsky.social Our first interaction was nearly 2 decades ago-ish. How much do you squee over your publications now as opposed to in the beginning?

I'll get your nose!

Got a head injury to recover from? Try turning your head rapidly to look at your partner so you can simultaneously get dizzy and also bonk your head on the wall! I am a disaster. A complete disaster of a human. But, hey, stay wholesome, y'all. 🌹

I have to gather medical records to send to my lawyer. I'm going through the relevant records on my patient portal. There has has been some mistake at some point with records early in the pandemic, as there are breastfeeding documents in there. I am 46 and have not breastfed anyone in 21 years.

Aside from my current state of being, I'm still going to do what I always do and be around to kick and scream and resist where I can. Do what you can, when you can and be good to yourselves. ♥️

My absence from this app was due to me being hit by a car, which resulted in many serious, but non-life threatening injuries, and my phone being destroyed. I have a new phone now. I have a gofundme, if you're able. My recovery is going to take a few months. gofund.me/b65138ca

Hey, for those of you who don't know, I was hit by a car on the 9th, and I'm in for a long recovery. I can't work right now. Anyone who can donate or share my gofundme, I would super appreciate the help. gofund.me/b65138ca

Most of the time, I struggle with getting enough nutrients. But then menstruation time hits and I turn into a sarlacc pit. I must consume anything and everything within range. Then suddenly, I am back to the struggle of not remembering how to take care of myself.

I'm cat sitting at a place that I'll eventually use as a studio. The cats have sudden petting emergencies. They will squeak like the situation is dire and run up to me and demand pets and when they're done, they run away. I can only imagine this will eventually happen when I'm filming.
