1/4 I had a selection of photos I wanted to post here, but I have decided they are too graphic. They are of the hole in my stomach where my feeding tube sits, the same feeding tube I am too unwell to use. I also have a line into my arm straight into a central vein to my heart.

The last 24 hours have been a goddamn wild ride, folks. Like, I knew we'd made something good with Crawlers, but I had NO idea just how positively it would be received. Overwhelming, in a good way.

I've been abandoned! @izzy.brennand.net has left me alone, just because the game she worked on, Vampire Crawlers, is out today and she's at the release party! How mean 😛 *I was invited, just too ill to go. Also I think Vampire Crawlers is really great, and is now out on most platforms.

It's a real pleasure to say I'm a part of the code team for Vampire Crawlers. It truly has been an overwhelming experience seeing players of all kinds playing (and enjoying) the demo, and we can't wait to show you the full game (when it's ready!)

The Access-Ability Summer Showcase 2025. I'm in it 😊 (I had hoped to post this at the time, but my ME decided that wasn't allowed. I'm only about 4 months late 😛) The cool thing I did in the last post? I filmed an intro for a game for the Access-Ability Summer Showcase 2025. I'm really happy I was able to do so, after being invited to last year but not being well enough.

It's quite telling how immediately after <thing what is happening>, certain people are crawling out of the woodwork to condemn it, when there is abject silence from them when minorities are being illegally carted away, deported, murdered. Says a lot.

One good thing today: a child left a rock painted like a nun in the garden, nestled seamlessly with the huddle of penguins.
Several rocks painted like penguins sitting together in a garden. To their right there is a rock painted like a nun just under a rock painted like a brightly colored fish. She seamlessly fits in.Closeup of a rock painted like a nun next to a rock painted like an angry penguin.

Sammie went on a helichopper ride! She had an amazing time! When she got off she discovered her phone (Pixel 6a) had turned into a spicy pillow. Since I unintentionally bought her a potential bomb, I've ordered her a new Pixel 8a as a replacement. Helicopters were too much apparently 😛

Severe ME Day August 8th 
Estimates suggest that around 25% of people with ME have the severe form of the disease. 
Severe ME is profoundly debilitating, with many affected individuals confined to their homes, bedbound, or even immobile. 
Individuals endure a relentless burden of symptoms and also face significant stigma from the medical community and society at large.

Finally answering my most FAQ.... Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Today. Live on Twitch. 5pm BST/ 6pm CEST/ 9am PT/ 11am CT/ 12 noon EDT It's been 5 years since I played. About time I got to grips with Space Legs!!!
Kolo, a white woman with ginger curly hair and glasses looks up to the corner with her head resting on her hand. Around her is a collection of screenshots of comments from YouTube, Twitch, Instagram and TikTok in which users talk about Elite Dangerous. The screenshotted comments request in various ways that that Kolo plays Elite Dangerous, or asks when she will be playing it, or if she still plays it, or specifically requests streams of Elite Dangerous: Odyssey

Our 2.4GHz network is down, and I can't find a reason for it. Obvious next step is rebooting the router, but Izzy is working so have to wait until she takes lunch. I wish we didn't need it but half my accessibility devices don't support 5GHz so here we are. Argh.

Two sporks crossed like swords, the tip of the handles sporting skulls and the pointy spork ends covered in blood. The blood-red text reads "Ableists get the SPORK", the O in 'SPORK' has an angry emoticon face.My hand holding it to show dimension. It's 9.8cm x 7cm gloss vinyl sticker, waterproof.
