Quarantine is over for our newest foster and the boys finally got to meet and play this morning. I’ve been fostering a 3 month old panleuk-exposed (highly contagious, potentially lethal feline virus) kitten and he finally cleared quarantine this morning!

Using humor to cope with dying is weird because for the past 6 years I can name both the medical crisis that almost took me out and the comedic release I started obsessing over during that time. This year it’s multi organ failure and @dearhankandjohn.bsky.social

Julian Patatas would like to submit his audition for a music video for @thehornesection.bsky.social He would normally stay on task better, but he loves outside and because we’re in the midst of a crazy heatwave, he’s not been out in almost 2 weeks!

Beth Fox @pinkvulpine.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

It’s been an atrocious week. Time to lick my wounds and binge some @thehornesection.bsky.social Juju’s helping with snuggles, too.

Tonight, I learned that within the last week (since the @taskmaster.tv finale) I’ve lost the ability to laugh. I’ve not laughed normally for a couple years, but now either my weak muscles just spasm preventing any airflow until my ventilator forces a breath or a little wheeze escapes. Dying sucks!

Help needed with an art project for @rehumanizeintl.bsky.social addressing dehumanization and medical violence against minority groups. If you’ve ever been dismissed because of your age, race, gender/orientation, disability, etc. I want to hear your story! Reply, DM, or email me at bgfox92@gmail.com

Started the morning off by taking Julian Patatas out for some bird watching.

I am the sickest I’ve been in quite sometime but at least I’ve got my little orange boy to keep me company. Please ignore how awful I sound and just soak in this cuteness.

Yesterday, I suddenly got extremely ill. Today we confirmed that I have pneumonia again and had a very not fun conversation about my likelihood of surviving this crisis given how weak my body is. Spoiler: odds aren’t great. But then I saw this sweet goose family on my way home, and that helped

Beth Fox @pinkvulpine.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

I feel like I should be offended, but Lou’s portrayal of terminal illness is so freaking funny. This is exactly the kind of humor I need right now as I’m stuck in bed with pneumonia and my very real terminal illness. Dying sucks. Laughter helps. So thanks for the laugh @dimension20.dropout.tv

After a year of recurrent strokes leaving me mostly homebound, today I was able to go back to my usual coffee shop before PT. The manager met me at the door, order in hand, and led me to my favorite table. Meanwhile, I was met with a chorus of “Beth’s back!” And “we’ve missed you” from other staff

Narcoleptic Narcotic dreams are wild. Today I dreamed I was back in undergrad with my pre-stroke brain but same physical disabilities I have now and fell asleep on a bus to a quiz bowl meet. Then inception style found myself inside my current D& D campaign, where we’re traveling in the dream realm

Beth Fox @pinkvulpine.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

Sick days are rough, but getting kitten snuggles while binging @dimension20.dropout.tv and @taskmaster.tv definitely makes things a little better. Here’s hoping I can stay out of hospital and continue recouping with this little guy by my side. 😻Julian Patatas is the best boy.

020

Beth Fox @pinkvulpine.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

Woke up this morning acutely aware of the fact that I am actively dying, feeling absolutely horrid. But it’s @thehornesection.bsky.social Wednesday! And that makes everything quite a bit better. If you’re lucky enough to be at the live show tonight, enjoy! Can’t wait for the new pod episodes.

My neurodegenerative disorder causes recurrent strokes. By the time we got to double digits, this was absolutely how my friends would respond when I’d lie down and nonchalantly announce “I’m having a stroke.” @dimension20.dropout.tv

No, bitch. Worrying about kids playing a ttrpg with orcs and elves or listening to metal (or hip hop) is moral panic Raping stolen children is a moral evil. And it is literally only my long-held beliefs against the death penalty keeping me from burning every one of you at the stake.

The statistician in me knows it doesn’t actually do anything, but I do enjoy cooking my dice for our biweekly D&D game.

Finally catching up on @dimension20.bsky.social Gladlands. I thought this was supposed to be lighthearted season, so I wasn’t prepared to be sobbing like. But dang it, @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social has once again found the perfect words to pierce my heart.

Speaking with a hospice nurse on the phone: Nurse-what did you say your birth year was? Me-1992 Nurse- oh! (Beat) You’re so young. Me- yeah Nurse- I’m so sorry Me- yeah. Me too #DyingSucks #YoungPeopleDieToo

Beth Fox @pinkvulpine.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

Really struggling with the fact that all hospice literature is written for elderly people. It sucks but young people die too and being terminally ill in your 30s is already isolating enough.

I’ve been quite sick the past few days. Now all the friends in my D&D are snowed in and want to do an impromptu session. I said of course but may have to keep it short as I’m unwell. I was told to roll a medicine check. A nat 3. Yeah that feels about right.

Beth Fox @pinkvulpine.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

I forgot to lock my walker before laying down for a nap and my cat pushed it to the other side of the room. Now he’s just laying here next to me all sweet and purring like he did nothing wrong.

Beth Fox @pinkvulpine.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

Does everyone’s cat wake them up at 2 am because they want to play in the sink and go for a walk outside or is that just my boy’s special brand of weirdness? I consented to turning the faucet on for him. But a 2am pleasure stroll is where I draw the line.

Beth Fox @pinkvulpine.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

I cannot thank @dimension20.bsky.social and @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social enough for inspiring to get my old D&D group together and create a character that resembles me. Also, today was Juju’s first D&D experience and he really wanted to help roll my stat block

I’ve been rewatching @dimension20.bsky.social Unsleeping City and for some reason desperately craving baked spaghetti (iykyk) I think it turned out pretty well considering I’m allergic to tomatoes and can only cook with a microwave and air fryer.

I’m coping with the fact that I’m very sad and sick by binging a massive quantity of @dimension20.bsky.social But, also, this clip is a very accurate representation of how quickly I get pneumonia and will be my default response the next time someone asks to hang out even though they have a cold

041

Beth Fox @pinkvulpine.bsky.social · 13/12/2025

As a wheelchair user this might be one of the most relatable clips of @dimension20.bsky.social ever. Genuinely, feels like that is a lot of walking to me.

Beth Fox @pinkvulpine.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

I normally only get my flu shot when I’m fully stable, but cases are rising rapidly in my area. So I went ahead and got it today even though my respiratory function was only 75% back to baseline. I know it was the right decision, but I’ve plummeted back down to like 30% and I feel like I’m drowning

Beth Fox @pinkvulpine.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

Things have been rough. So I spent the day doing some art. This quote from @dimension20.bsky.social Neverafter has been on my mind a lot recently. Dying sucks and it often feels like I’m barely keeping my head above water, but I am grateful for every day and all the memories I’m able to make.

Painting in a sketch book of the Itsy Bitsy Spider. A grey spider is on a black web with large storm cloud above. In the cloud is written the quote:
“I like the sunshine more than the rain, but my favorite thing about myself is when it’s raining, I never get too down.”

Beth Fox @pinkvulpine.bsky.social · 29/11/2025

Starstruck (@dimension20.bsky.social ) is SciFi, but this line is all too real. “You rent your ability to live” Although, @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social charges much less than the US. My ventilator alone is over $5,000/month. I don’t want to think what my DME would charge for a full cyborg body

020

Beth Fox @pinkvulpine.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

On today’s episode of you may chronically ill if: the new x-ray tech is surprised you’re so good at getting chest X-rays. Also, I definitely have pneumonia again, but my lung didn’t collapse this time. So that’s good? If you need me, I’ll be in bed pretending I have a functioning immune system.

000

Beth Fox @pinkvulpine.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

Not sure if I’m actually getting sick, still reeling from smoke inhalation (from catching my microwave on fire), or if my ventilator malfunctioning last night triggered a respiratory crisis. Either way breaking out the sick tea tonight and heading in for a chest x-ray and cultures in the morning.

Just starting @dimension20.bsky.social adventuring party now that I’ve watched up through Crown of Candy. I’m not sure if Lou accurately described the Hydra lifestyle, but he nailed Kacie and I’s sleep habits. The number of random quotes I’ve compiled from this show is wild.

This whole video is great, but 4:18-7:12 was genuinely cathartic. Leaving academia because of my terminal illness was hard. But at least I’m not Franklin. Dying sucks, but joking about it helps! Thank you @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social for not being afraid of dark humor youtu.be/1sp_I-XUxtU?...
