neat! i usually go for ginger tea. if you don't have fresh ginger, stocking something like this from an asian market or online can be incredibly useful.

yes, they still exist. i can't recommend a specific brand/model, but hair dryers with cold/cool settings should still be out there.

i can get away with lining my ankle with a bandaid, sometimes (maybe one of the clear ones so it's less visible), but the blister strip things that are supposed to specifically be for this kind of thing always slide off my skin when i use them

it would be nice if more people had some concept of respecting boundaries regarding sex, and also possessed the ability to understand that discussing consent is not "steamroll the other person while ignoring their clearly stated limits until they either block you or give in"

the sounds everyone made during the total eclipse was one of my favourite moments of shared humanity. it was all sorts of sounds of awe and wonder, mixed with some cheering and clapping.

i feel that i've perhaps made some unfortunate choices when it comes to referring to the particular incision (i have four total) through which they dragged my extremely inflamed gallbladder. i have nerve damage there and it's swollen and tender. "my hole is really sore today," i said.

for some reason, i assumed disney had total control over their font (like they do with everything else), so somehow the thing that surprised me most was seeing it used on this packaging that was otherwise just giving me old web design flashbacks.

gallbladder surgery recovery has been a little rough. the glue on the main incision mysteriously disappeared very fast and the incision has been leaking (but isn't infected, at least) and it all hurts worse than any other surgery of mine except the mastectomy.

i especially loathe when they do "like x but y" with books. i've never read the booktok thing they're referencing and calling it that but queer means nothing to me beyond making me understand that someone is trying to sell me something based on my demographic without trying to sell me on the PLOT.

I can't seem to feel interested in FNV. I've tried playing it twice, plus tried Let's Plays and streams. Elden Ring also left me cold. Everyone praised the characters and the story so much, but it didn't work for me.

this week, i win the falling asleep without my cpap on award (twice and then i took it off once in my sleep which i never do) for the first time since i got the damn thing almost ten years ago. i was halfway losing my voice yesterday (ideal when you do a voice rp) from snoring messing up my throat.

then if you hurt yourself or you have a surgery, you're already prepared without having to figure it out in a hurry and possibly hurting yourself. if you get headaches, if just you want to shower after coming home tipsy from the bar, whatever: sit down. it's great.

a jaundiced monarch @lorath.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

even if you are able bodied, i strongly recommend a shower stool or chair to everyone. it's extremely nice to just sit the fuck down sometimes after a long day, or when you need to contemplate your life choices, or if you want to deep condition your hair, etc. we, the disabled, do not gatekeep them.

Stop putting off getting that accessibility device. Need a cane? Get it. Showering too hard? Buy a chair. Grabby sticks are great, you should get one. Doesn't matter if you can muddle through without it, if it will make your life better, get it.

As a veteran of two eclipses, the first of which turned me into a lifelong eclipse chaser, my advice is to put your phone down and enjoy the freaky experience. The pros will get great photos and you only have a minute or so to experience totality.

no amount of attempts to save them from the cats has ever succeeded in any place i've lived, so i would guess it won't be long for this world if it encounters either of yours.

In 1986, contracting HIV meant you were going to die, usually slowly, painfully, and alone. Now it's a chronic illness like hypertension. In 1986, gay and lesbian couples couldn't have their relationships legally recognized and had to adopt elaborate legal workarounds.

re: mamdani's "suspiciously green" bananas - are we sure the newspaper did not simply misidentify some plantains as bananas causing every racist white conservative to have a mental breakdown? for example, a display of plantains.

counting the days until my gallbladder goes away. i try not to be upset that they've been making me wait since the beginning of may but sometimes it hurts so much (even when i eat nothing all day) that i can't think clearly or sleep, and i feel like it simply is not significant to my doctors at all.

new meds have been helping a lot but i think we might need to do something in addition for times when something triggers me. i had a very difficult night because i got stuck in traumatic memories, which hasn't really happened like this in a while and i'm not sure why it did last night.

This is how we live on earth, a flock of sparrows. The darkness, a magician, finds quarters behind our ears. We don’t know what life is, who makes it, the reality is thick with longing. We put it up to our lips and drink. ~ Ilya Kaminsky, ‘Dancing in Odessa’ (2004) #Painting by Miyake Wakō.

It is true, if you’re benefitting from Disabled Adult Child benefits, you will lose them if you get married and your spouse has income. I guess the government just assumes they’ll become your caretaker, which adds all sorts of weird dynamics to what is presumably a romantic relationship.

is there an actual reason why dialogue in movies is at 0.5% volume and the sound effects and music are at 5000% volume? i have an ungodly migraine from the latter, and barely heard a single word the characters said.

i'll say three things for the new meds, despite the headache: 1. i have kept the dishes done 2. i've been drinking tea every day again (tea has been a hobby for 23 years but has been neglected for a while) 3. i took pictures outside the other day for the first time in years.

sucks that you can go to therapy, do the work, take the pills, touch grass, practice a hobby, pet a cat, etc, and still spend an entire day so miserable that you can't get out of bed. there's only so much mental scaffolding i can build out of toothpicks as a trans person in this godforsaken country.
