Somehow between bed last night and this morning I have slipped something in my back to a degree that is frankly a bit concerning. If I sit wrong it's actually hard to breathe.
So, that's fun.
Past experience shows that if I'm careful and patient it should work itself out over the course of the day. But goddamn it fucking hurts.
THIS is why I got the close focus camera. Absolutely priceless.
I don't wanna go to my dr appointment tomorrow :(
I love my desk friends.

Mostly, I am really bothered by the framing and seemingly forgone conclusion that using food cw is harmless. Even when told about folks like me who ARE harmed by food cw people just... Move on? They make a choice that folks like me aren't as important to protect as the other folks.
So they carry on, and talk loudly about making fedi a safe place for everyone. Patting themselves on the back for being so progressive and kind. Cuz I guess people like me aren't everyone.
As it's going around this morning I'll do my own post I guess...
Food cw is not a neutral approach. Hiding food behind a content warning can cause issues for many people in recovery from eating disorders.
But yes, some ppl do need cw.
This is a case of conflicting needs and so harm reduction is the way forward.
Using the food hashtag allows ppl who need it to set a personal filter to cw food. And does not harm ppl who are restoring their relationship with food.
Let's respect each other
As we head into Halloween Spooky season a reminder from your friendly Hobbit Witch...
Charcoal is not food. I don't care how cool black coloured food or drinks are... charcoal isn't a food dye babes.
It is poison control... it will fuck up your meds, screw with your digestion, and can cause intestinal blockages.
So please, please don't do it.
Besties, I slept for 9 hrs last night (not solid, alas, but pretty damn).
I feel like a completely new Hobbit. BUT I am going to be smart and not immediately overdo it. We got the house sorted last night so today is just taking it easy and doing laundry (will put it away tomorrow!)
Might play a lil Dredge (fuck I love that game). I'm so sad I missed out on the limited edition vinyl for the soundtrack. If I ever find it, I'm buying it so fast.
@moonrabbit I had a thought to check your website this morning and what do I find but a little warrior spirit guardian! I'm so excited to give him a cozy home with some friends.
Thank you, for the work you do.
1. Didn't have to leave my house
2. Very understanding husband
3. Didn't have to leave my house
Life is a group project
Dinner is in the crockpot, Sewing Bee is on the telly, I think it's time to finish off this top!
1. All the furniture got switched around and as expected both rooms are so much more functional now.
2. Fresh linens on the bed.
3. A husband who is a true partner in life.
I am generally emotionally intelligent enough to realize that relationships are complicated and it isn't necessarily one way or the other. But I only know that in the abstract.
I can't really comprehend that as a way of being that isn't full of lies and masks.
So yeah, it leaves me feeling very alone and sad.
Gosh that's a lot before 10am.
Like, I can be polite, and civil. But my effusive praise and affection is only ever going to come out when I mean it.
I wished this person a happy birthday, and genuinely meant it. But like... that's it.
I'm not gonna heap flowers on someone for the sake of politeness? Polite is the happy birthday. I don't understand why you'd be so complimentary if you don't mean it.
And if these people DO mean it, then were they lying to me?
I have an unfortunate history of folks telling me one thing to my face and then that turning out to be lies.
Usually manifesting by me thinking everything is fine until they suddenly turn on me, break up with me, etc.
I don't know any other way than to show up authentically with how I'm feeling in relationships. I don't know how to pretend to like someone.
But apparently this is just a thing ppl do a lot. And it really leaves me feeling like i can't trust any of them.
Thinking today about showing up authentically as an AuDHD person.
My former friend from a few years ago is celebrating their birthday today. In the large discord server folks are calling them a lovely/beautiful/special human. That's all fine...
Several of those same ppl have talked with me about their mistrust or dislike of this person and their behaviour.
And now I'm like... but how can you????
It's also hugely triggering the "well how can I trust what you say?" feels.
As my business grows and I start purchasing some items that are specifically for business... I probably need to talk to a tax person about like... how do I go about writing off business expenses and whatnot.
Canadians, is there like a tax advisor type thing? Basically can I pay someone not to do my taxes, but to sit down with me for a bit and explain to me what I might or might not qualify for?
I never really learned this kind of thing growing up (and prolly should have!)
(boosts are welcome)

I consider it my personal duty to preorder every book from authors I love AND make sure to request it at my library!

I can't help but think about the fact that at many protests people cover their faces and identifying tattoos and leave their hands visible.
Just a random thought that popped into my head while reading this, surely it's not related at all.
