Do I happen to have any mutuals that know anything about makeup, specifically for cosplay? I'm wanting to experiment with my Goblin persona and I need to be a reddish colour with big ears, but I don't know where to begin. I've never even done regular everyday makeup so it's a bit overwhelming.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm sick of this country continuing to celebrate one of the most openly hateful people. J.K.R uses her money to actively target trans rights and protections. If you still buy in to Harry Potter, you fund her hate campaign. You harm trans folks.

We need to stop feeding J K Rowling & other transphobes. We need to stop introducing children to the things she & her ilk create. By doing so, we're doing 3 things: 1. funding the hate 2. teaching children that it's ok to support transphobes 3. turning transphobes into our children's heroes

I haven't paid for a TV licence my entire adult life and I'm not gonna start now. A dog shit service, with nothing I'm interested in and consistently platforms fascists and hateful right-wing propaganda. They can eat my entire ass.

My friend Chris, along with his uncle and their dog, need to find a home in Milwaukee before November. After 10+ yrs of being an unpaid carer to his mom, Chris will be losing his home after losing his mother to ill health. If you can help, please share. They've all been through so much. 💛

I'm going to say this with my whole chest. Steam has rules about AI disclosure. Those rules directly relate to the Steam store page (reasonably considered an advertisement). If a dev or pub fails to disclose AI usage in accordance with those policies, they are being dishonest in their advertising

Catching up with the latest MinnMax podcast and it really cuts deep hearing the grief in Ben's voice as they openly address the discovery of Jacob Geller's past. What a blow to the community and the Cohorts. I've had to stop my walk for a cry. It still hurts, even though I wasn't directly effected.

🚨I ask for aid A good friend of mine (plus his uncle and dog) is losing his family home after his mom died in March. He was an unpaid carer to her for 10+ yrs, and is struggling to find work. He'll become homeless in Nov if they can't find suitable housing. Please help if you can. He's a good man.

What is there to explore, exactly? We all know her thoughts, it's not a fucking mystery. She's pretty public about it. She's a hateful woman that places trans women in the same bucket of trash abusive men. I'd prefer if we stopped giving her a bloody spotlight. Throw her in the ocean.

Haru has finally started eating properly again. I still have to sneak these antibiotics to her in snacks, but it's good she's actually taking meals again and not immediately vomiting when she tries.

I know I'm more sensitive to this cos I'm a streamer, but I see a lot of younger folks talking about wanting to stream cos it's "easier" for making money, or cos it's easier than learning a craft. Oh sweet child... I wish you well in your future of realisations.

I think I kinda always knew, adults would often comment about my behaviour and my ma was a very shouty woman. But it became tangible at pre-school. I was ostracised within weeks. I *couldn't* play with groups. I didn't understand how. And other kids would pick on me for knowing things they didn't.

Time blindness, but when it's mixed with either executive dysfunction or hyperfixation. I hate how I can think I'm only doing nothing/something for maybe an hour, but actually my whole day has gone and I have nothing to show for it during both. It shouldn't take 5hrs to check my phone. But it does.

My sudden desire to dig out my 3DS is making me want to return to the unpacking that I never got around to doing. 😅 I really do dislike the clutter, but the amount of it also makes it hard to start. 👀 But holy shit I wanna bust of Theatrythm and Project Mirai so bad! 😭

I thought I'd be brave and reshare this. I'd love to hear from others who know more about gender questioning or body dysmorhia and if there's maybe any educational resources I should check out. I just know I've never felt right, but it got worse at adolescence and it's with me every day.

So hey. 2am thought, brought to you by gender-questioning. What if: 1) You've felt wrong in your body since puberty. 2) You dislike being associated with your birth sex/gender. 3) You're certain you're not Trans. 4) Being called NB feels indifferent at best? I don't know what I'm going through.

Back from the vet. Haru simply has a scratch that she's picking at, and a minor case of gingivitis. Both completely manageable with antibiotics. Hugely relieved.

I had a suspicion that Haru (my cat) had a lump near one of her nipples, but it was hard to tell. Today I discovered blood on my bed. She's clearly over-groomed the nipple where I thought the lump was. I'm calling the vet first thing tomorrow. Gods I hope it's nothing.

I've had enough. I'm going doolally with all this constant fatigue. It's not right! I used to be so fucking physically active and now all I do is sleep and sit at the PC with no more stresses in the world and I'm STILL exhausted. I've requested to speak to a doctor about ME/CFS. I want answers.

Feeling a bit out of sorts today. Seeing my employment coach really brought forward how useless I feel. I haven't started any projects. I haven't returned to coding. I haven't been streaming. I haven't been learning anything. I haven't stuck to plans. I'm not contributing at home. Useless.

Back from the Job Centre. We decided to put me forward for a chat with their Volunteer service. To see if we can find something for me to do with low commitment and short hours. Just to get me out of the house once a week. And to micro-dose routine and socialising. 😅

It's Job Centre day today and I'm starting to feel a bit anxious about it. It's gonna rain, so I can't walk like I'd prefer, not without getting drenched. So I'll be on the scooter, which also makes me anxious these days. I'll be glad to get it over with.

I keep forgetting to post photos from my walks. The sun has started to go down earlier and yesterday had a slightly moody look near the beach.

A long stone walkway along the edge of a beach. A blue sky slowly fading to pink at the horizon where the sun hits the ocean. Dotted grey clouds with pink highlights as they rain in the distance.

A moody but calm grey sea with a pale sky above fading through pink to dark blue. The clouds are highlighted by the setting sun in golden and pink gradients.

It's been over a year since I lost my job due to unchecked and unmanaged burnout. And I'm still feeling the cost of it all every day. I have my next Job Centre appointment tomorrow, and while I'm not being pushed to look for work, I'm also very anxious about having to still say "I'm not ready".

It's not lost on me that Sam Neil are both of mine. 1) Event Horizon. "... We don't need eyes to see." 2) Space. He presented an educational show, where I learned that the universe could become heavy and collapse inward on itself. Sam Neill gave me an existential dread that I still struggle with.

Today I decided to just play a game. All day. No voice chats. No streams. Just listened to my podcasts while I made progress in Fields of Mistria. It's been nice. I'm hoping for another decent night's sleep and then to go headlong into fixing more of my stream stuff tomorrow. I'd like to be ready.

I can't tell if I feel better or not after removing my weighted blanket last night to test if it's causing my fatigue. It might take a couple nights. But I didn't just roll over and fall back to sleep... So that's something.

I chose to put on my jammies and lay back in bed with Haru (my cat), while I finally tackle the new Dragon Quest Monsters demo. I guess I just need a quiet one tonight. No noise. No talking. No thinking. Just making friends with creatures, with my creature friend.

A curse of being constantly tired is that I can't tell if I want to spend time with friends on a Saturday night, or if I kinda just wanna play a game alone. But then I also don't really want to play a game cos it means activating my brain a bit, which is further tiring. 🫠

I mentioned to a group yesterday that I was struggling to come up with any concepts for YouTube videos about games. Someone asked me if games aren't the thing for me, is there something else? I was faced with "nothing". If I can't talk about games, I've got nothing to share. I got very upset.

Been trying to figure out what the cause of my fatigue has been over the last few weeks and I've come up with 2 possibilities. A) The weighted blanket, which I unfurled cos it started getting cold at night. B) The ADHD meds, which I started at roughly the same time. I need to find out which.

Update to this, I wasn't aware I could call them to get the payments reduced, so I have now broken it down to £20 a month repayments. And starting next month my Universal Credit payments will be in full. So I'll be in a better position. It might seem small, but I really just want some new bedding.
