Feel free to theorize.

I mostly just made this person up for this Porter Robinson line, but I like her enough that I might make her a history

Joint pain tips from someone “too young to have chronic pain”:

[I’m not a doc or a medical professional, take with a grain of salt]

- NSAIDs like ibuprofen/aleve are hard on the stomach and liver. If u take it consistently, consider lidocaine pain patches, tiger balm, or topical NSAIDs. (Still bad for liver with consistent use, but not on the stomach obv)

-foam rollers are real nice for thigh or back/neck pain. If you need it for shoulder stretching, make sure to get one long enough to lay ur whole spine and head on.

-rly good shoe inserts are stupid expensive but getting properly sized for one at a place like REI can rly save you a lot of foot, ankle, and knee pain.

-speaking of shoes plz find ones that have enough room for the tootsies. We’re talking abt bone health here.

-you can use KT or other athletic tape to give minor support, compression for medium, and splints/braces for more serious support. Don’t let braces take over keeping ur body in shape tho.

-in my experience, tube/sock-like braces stay in place the best. I’ve tried the kind that Velcro and they slipped constantly.

-if u overwork a tendon, muscle, or joint, it can take a lot longer for it to heal then when it just stops hurting. Be careful to reintegrate activities slowly after an injury.

-while it kinda makes ya feel silly, walking “like a robot” can help hypermobile/ligament laxity folks to keep proper motion in mind

-upside down criss-cross and w-sitting are horrendous for your knees and make your PTs sad

-if you are doing arm exercises, try not to extend your arms back beyond the line of your shoulder

-to my ND folks: try to rest your arms sometimes, Trex arms are comfy but bad for circulation and joints

-if it feels like your eyes are trying to burst outta ur skull sometimes it means you need to lower inflammation in your sinus.

-for my bra-wearing folks: racer-backed bras hurt the upper traps less and distribute weight better

-drink water my dudes. Ur body hates life w/o it

To all my fellow verbal stimmers,

Y’all ever have to have the awkward convo with a new person like

Me: stimming

Person: what’d you say?

Me: ah… I was… just making random noise 😅

I realize they made some of Link like that. And those are fun, and add a nice touch to the collection. That wasn’t the point.

New Zelda Game Thoughts

So. I think that having an actual Zelda-player zelda game is cool. But… am I the only one who feels a little… put out? That it’s such a cutesy style? Like don’t get me wrong, I love cute stuff. But for the first and only Zelda based game, I kinda hoped they would have gone for something that gives Zelda a little more credit.

It feels almost like it’s making fun of her abilities, in a way. Like if she’s going to be the main player, it can’t be serious.

I’m sure that’s not what they meant, and it’s fun to see how excited everyone is. I just…

Me, minding my entire business:

My brain: “Rockin.’ Rockin’ and rollin.’ Round down that beach I was strollin’”

KnY/ Demon Slayer question (featuring spoilers!)

Hey so I’m curious, does anyone know if that familiarity Muzan spoke of was a legit feeling or if it was part of Ubuyashiki’s weird hypnotic voice thing? Or perhaps a third “we are a family” magic thing?

Also. Isn’t… wasn’t his wife helping with plans or something? I feel like that got spoiled for me by someone, but if she died in their residence then she couldn’t have… unless they just glossed over that bit? Idk. Also where is the boy child. The homeboy. The lil guy.

It’s just literally so unnecessary

I think that Planets by Jerobeam Fenderson is capable of resetting my brain

Does anyone else just unthinkingly and rhythmically move their foot at the ankle whenever they’re sitting or laying down or is that just me? I can’t remember ever not doing it and only tend to notice if I’m rubbing something raw or if someone tells me it’s causing noise

To everyone who says “you need to find a place to keep your things so you won’t lose them and keep them there every time”:

Bold of you to assume I am aware of setting something down.

I hold things and then they disappear into the abyss.

Controversial opinions I had when I was a new human:

-Pronouncing Tulips “too-lips” is both an inaccurate descriptor and also strange and therefore the way I incorrectly pronounce it (toodle-ips) is much better

-climbing trees is not setting a bad example unless you’re bad at it

-chicken nuggets dipped in chocolate pudding is good

-there is no reason to straighten my covers when I have no guests

-top sheets are evil and also useless

-calling outer space and the gaps between words and a general expanse all “space” is confusing

-the fact that the sun is so huge and yet the earth makes a hard shadow on the moon is very weird

-baby it’s cold outside and I love rock and roll are both creepy songs

Hey so am I the only one who thinks it’s weird that my middle school gym teachers used to play pumped up kicks during laps?

Sometimes hope feels like a hearth in your chest

It’s startling, an unexpected warmth

But when you turn to it,

Feel the glow on your face,

You may find it reflected in your heart

Ma gets it

My dudes. My pals. My homeslice bread slices.

Never have I experienced more gender stereotyping than in cake decorating. Please. Friends.

Interests, colors; these things have no gender.

As someone who grew up fem and whose favorite color has ALWAYS been blue/turquoise.

No.

*smack smack smack*

I smack you with newspaper.

“It’s for a boy/girl” is Not an aPpRopriaTE response to my questions abt the specifics on your cake

TW : rant/dump

I’m not fishing for anything, I just really needed to say this, and I’m not willing to put it on anyone I know. Please don’t read this if you’re unwell. I don’t want to add to anyone else’s struggle

I just needed to get off my chest,

This couple weeks have been… not good.

My grandma has been making sui/homi threats when she can’t get more pain meds, my grandpa is obsessed with conspiracy politics and won’t keep it to himself, my mom depends on me emotionally

My shelf came off the wall and broke my file box and shattered a glass frame all over the floor

I spilled soda so incredibly that it got on my carpet, walls, floor, the bottom of my bed (?), my printer, my extension cord, my yarn basket, and so many other places I keep finding

I ruined an entire load of clothes with chapstick, it will not come out, and my mom tossed them

My air purifier itself has started smelling like mold despite upkeep

My windowsill is covered in mold and my plaster is cake and even my carpenter uncle can’t figure out my Schrödinger studs

Because of all these things I’ve been having to fix or account for on top of my medical bills and car bills and insurance bills I can’t even quite make it paycheck to paycheck

I don’t have the time or money to take care of procedures I’m supposed to have done already

My doctor says I’m in the chronic pain of someone twice my age and that my job isn’t going to work for me in the long term and my job is trying to shove me out but I can’t find another job that won’t kill my mental health, physical health, or support me financially

Im just stuck,

I’m stuck.

Astromanaut skentch

Strange thing a customer has said to me #476:

“You look kinda Asian, like my daughter. So if you like it, she’ll like it.”

Nighttime me: I have so much energy! I’m gonna get up early tomorrow and do cool stuff :}

Early morning me: ha, what a chump. *goes back to sleep*

Ode to my week

Yesterday I bought some fruit

I pulled some plants up by the root

The day before I washed my clothes

And ruined the entire load

My ancient shelf fell off the wall

It launched my file box with its fall

And took my yarn and picture frame

The glass has broken, not my games

I need to do some gardening

My knees say that’s not happening

But still I got to pet my cat

And give her a cute little hat

My job does not appreciate

My physical restrictive trait

There’s so much paperwork of late

It’s something that my doctor hates

Today I tried to drink root beer

It fell and my whole room is smeared

I swear hekkin everywhere

My outlet, art book, printer, chair

This week is a chaotic mess

There’s been some good I must confess

I’m still sending an SOS

Ridiculous- just let me rest

Currently feeling the emotion “just had water after chewing mint gum” with a side of tired

Arright my more experienced friends, I need some brainstorming. Some ideas, if you will.

One of my favorite sweatshirts has finally gone from “I’ll just say this spill happened today” stained to “This is a paint shirt” stained

But. So has a whole load of my laundry. So! I want to save, at the very least, the whale and some of the flowers (embroidered directly onto the fabric, from Jeana Draws).

I have no idea what to do though. If it was a patch, I’d remove it and place it somewhere else. If it was just the sleeves or just the body, I’d just remove one or the other and see new bits on. Alas, motor oil and a machine washed chapstick have attacked both.

Any ideas on how to recycle these bits into something else wearable?

Genuine question:

I am a neutral-to-fem Audhd human who enjoys paying people compliments.

I always do so respectfully and follow the “only compliment parts of their self they have control over” thing.

But I wanted to know - is it socially acceptable for an adult to direct compliments to younger children when they are with their parents?

I generally don’t unless I know the parents, because I’m never quite sure…

So I watched the first episode of the training arc.

Thoughts:

Nezuko!

Tomioka is going to kill me.

(If Sanemi doesn’t kill him first)

Healer duo could go very good or very bad.

I want rice balls now.

Hey so how do you continue with your day when a discordant and unseen ice cream truck drives somewhere in the vicinity of your house playing a tune you have never heard before

I may not entirely believe in magic but sometimes it seems like it believes in me and is going *SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK* with a rolled up newspaper when I’m not looking.

So anyway a nurse made me cry today

Does anyone else ever distinctly remember doing smth u have been meaning to do and then it ends up being a dream you had so you have to do it all over again?
