This is an archive of my Mastodon account, and maybe in the future, noteworthy posts of mine that I might feel like archiving from other webites.
I'm currently manually updating this whenever I update the rest of my site, so posts might take a while to get here. It also currently doesn't have support for links or outgoing images, and it doesn't look very nice. But ain't it neat?
16 across: "chance to get a lot off your chest."
Amazingly, it was not "TOP SURGERY", even though it fit.
I'm so mad.

Well, my blood pressure is indeed an epic fail, but my doctor is so fucking nice and dealt with my anxiety very well. And now I'm going on blood pressure meds!

I think my blood pressure might be fail but I have two days until a scheduled doctor's appointment. I also don't want to go to the doctor, and I don't want to have a physical body, I want to exist online where I don't have to drink fluids or have blood. Life is so hard for me

Does anyone here (by which I mean, either followers or people on my instance) use Pixelfed? It seems cute enough but I'm totally lost for what instance to join.

I think one of the biggest barriers keeping people on silos like Xitter from joining the independent web (even me saying 'silo' proves my upcoming point) is the idea of pretentiousness. However you feel about it, there is a truth to it: we use a lot of jargon and a lot of us act like we've made the "smart" choice.
As someone trying to get more people to choose indie, it becomes a tightrope walk: if I want to own it, and accept being fairly isolated; or try to be more palatable to the masses, and thus dilute my true feelings.
Well, at this point in my life I have accepted being pretentious, but I at least try to be friendly and patient.

Dunkin, Starbuck, and the clump of duct tape I had to put in my old apartment because if you were in the bathroom for too long Dunkin thought you were trapped and started trying to tunnel through the carpet. STILL can't believe I got that deposit back.

I know I'm not out here hiring artists so it's not for me, but as someone who likes looking at other people's art, at this point I'd take inaccessible self-hosted portfolios to still-inaccessible-anyway portfolios on Instagram clones.

Took my nighttime meds, didn't like how they tasted in my throat, poured a handful of Tic Tacs into my mouth and... nearly reflexively swallowed them as if they were pills as well 🙂

Having to take a sedative once I get home because we had to TURN AROUND on an ON RAMP because traffic was so backed up. Did not need this after boiling to death all day 😰

I don't need more overpriced plastic shit in my house but you better believe I'm thinking about this object 24/7
It's just too hot. I don't even have anything funny to say. #heatwave

Also, I have lived in multiple flooded basements - never deep like that, but have dealt with the mold and destroyed belongings, and watching the rain come in and thinking about how much damage it was going to cause. Hit way too close to home. 😦

This year has been unprecedented for me. Monthly heat waves and wildfire smoke. I think it's impacting my mental health. Even my bell pepper plant on the balcony recently just drooped all its leaves because it's too humid.
