This was always the endgame. Ever since the changes to revoke opting out to having your content essentially fed to Grok. Continuing to post there because you're unable to let go of your (inaccurate) reach is just jamming a stick into your own spokes at this point. Leave. Now.

One of those weeks

It’s a scribbly two panel comic. Top panel, titled: Me every night has a person laying in bed, thinking ”Tonight I will sleep well”. In the bottom panel, titled Me every morning, the same person is sitting up, looking disheaveled with dark under eyes. She’s thinking ”Fuck shit hell”.

PATREON: I messed up again! I was sure I paused billing this month but apparently not. :( A few people got charged who shouldn't have been and patreon won't let me issue refunds. I've messaged everyone affected so if you still have a pledge there please check your patreon dms so we can sort it out

Just had 1.5 litres of fluid drained off my right lung which was.... fun? Also I seem to be undead. The nurse couldn't get a blood pressure or pulse reading from me, so I eventually got the 'uhh well you're warm, sitting up and lucid so you're probably fine, go home.' XD my veins are THAT tiny/deep.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Right so I don't like to talk about the shit going on in the real world because fucking hell, just fucking hell, but sometimes it's necessary to reiterate: Trans rights are human rights, trans women are women, trans men are men, fuck racism, fuck homo/biphobia, and if you disagree go to hell.

Oof. Okay, health update. Should have posted last week but I (and everyone else in the house) have the worst streaming cold ever. Don't catch a cold when your lungs are already messed up, people. It isn't fun. I've basically spent the last week sleeping and sneezing. D8

...Well that was a 5 minute hospital appt that turned into a 4 hour appt. I got my CT scan... eventually. With bonus ultrasound and xray, because my chemo port is fubar and they can't get blood out of it :) they ended up having to dig for veins and now I have a referral to get a new port. Argh x.x

Wow, so, 2025! Honestly wasn't expecting/supposed to make it. I'm going into this year the same way as the last one: no plans, no expectations, just a resolution to survive as long as possible. Here's hoping I get to carry on defying the odds for a while, and that everyone else has a positive year.

IDK who needs to hear this, but you're allowed to like one part of a band's discography and not the other. You don't have to know the whole history of a band to be a fan. You can just simply LIKE the music. You don't need to know names of every album or song or band member. You can just LIKE music.

Storm Bert: we didn't get flooded this time, but a lot of houses in the immediate area weren't so lucky. Again. :( We are under a boil water advisory though for the next few days due to the water treatment works being flooded... mmm delicious poo water! :D

Hi Bluesky! I’m an illustrator from London looking for #art mutuals on here 🌻

A painting of Gaoracchia Forest from Tales of Symphonia. There is a beam of light in the foreground illuminating Presea Combatir holding an axe among the path through the trees and hidden in the background is an coffin carrying enemy walking away

A painting of the Triet Desert and Triet Ruins from the game Tales of Symphonia. Raine Sage is in the foreground with her back to the camera holding her wooden staff and looking out over the ruined buildings in the distance. In the left side is a tree and the sun is lowering in the sky

A painting of Colette and Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia riding a Rheaird with the Tower of Salvation at an angle in the background. It’s a night scene with clouds and stars set against a dark blue and purple gradient and sparks coming out the back of the Rheaird

A painting of Colette and Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia wearing wedding clothes surrounded by plants and decorated arches. It’s a daytime scene with a lot of dark and light greens framing the shot

I wish I could just be hateful & be okay with this all. Hate’s easy. It requires no effort or thought. Just reaction. But Im not here for easy. Im here to love & be good. Love is hard, requires effort & sacrifice but love is worth it. That said fuck these fucking fucks & their voting for hate.

I found some old well loved friends today :)

Thalia @swirlymuse.bsky.social · 17/09/2024

Chemo #7 done! And good scan news. It's keeping the cancer stable, i.e it isn't growing/spreading. The plan is I'll stay on this chemo indefinitely, until it stops working or the side effects get too serious, whichever comes first!

030

Thalia @swirlymuse.bsky.social · 03/09/2024

Chemo #6 done, so that's the end of cycle 3. Liver values came back ok so i'm back on the full dose now.

010

Thalia @swirlymuse.bsky.social · 20/08/2024

Chemo #5 done. Buh. Slightly lower dose this time as my liver apparently is Unhappy with this (I don't blame it). If my blood results aren't more normal next time, treatment gets postponed for a while.

Thalia @swirlymuse.bsky.social · 13/08/2024

Made a snake! Seemed like a good way to learn knitting basics. Made up the pattern as I went along (I mean it's a tube lol). It's not perfect but a decent lumpy derp noodle lol XD

Thalia @swirlymuse.bsky.social · 06/08/2024

Chemo #4 done. Loooong day. Left at 11am, got back 7.30pm o_<

Thalia @swirlymuse.bsky.social · 05/08/2024

Been trying to teach myself to knit because why not. I'm not good at it, but who cares XD

Been playing a lot of WoW. Not productive, but passes the time! I'm not 'good' at WoW. I'm the worst casual, I don't do raids and group stuff. Just wander round having stupid solo adventures and picking flowers/rocks lol. Currently alternating a derpy derg and a derpy worgen. :p

Thalia @swirlymuse.bsky.social · 26/06/2024

Just the usual chemo side effects with this drug so far. Brainfog, constant lowgrade indigestion, everything tastes of cold/warm spit. We'll see how bad the mouth ulcers get when they show up but nothing unexpected so far.

Thalia @swirlymuse.bsky.social · 24/06/2024

Chemo #1 of probably 6 done. Next one in 2 weeks. No problems with the port thank goodness! (Though half my chest is a spectacular bruise rainbow right now lol)

140

Thalia @swirlymuse.bsky.social · 19/06/2024

MRSA test results were negative, whoo! Chemo port goes in tomorrow, then chemo monday if all goes well. (Must try to eat everything nice in the fridge this weekend before I'm back to a diet of yoghurt, soup and Ensure lol)

140

Thalia @swirlymuse.bsky.social · 04/06/2024

Welp. Got a positive MRSA swab so port surgery and chemo are cancelled. Now in a world of antiseptic body wash in hope we can kill it. No more crochet for the forseeable, while in theory it's fine i'm not risking infecting anyone/reinfecting myself via germs on wool. :/

010

Thalia @swirlymuse.bsky.social · 27/05/2024

I don't have a problem honest. Currently crocheting madly to take my mind off getting a port inserted and restarting chemo next week, or possibly not, because all my appointments clash with each other. Not a clue at this point. Tomorrow more phonecalls. x.x

Thalia @swirlymuse.bsky.social · 06/04/2024

Still plugging along here. Nothing really to report other than sitting around waiting for biopsy results. But here, have a fish pattern I finally got around to finishing up! ravel.me/friday-the-f...

Thalia @swirlymuse.bsky.social · 16/03/2024

Fishy fish. Working on an intelligable pattern at the moment. Gotta minimise the fiddly-ness! One thing I'm learning is I seem to have a high tolerance for fiddling about, and when the pattern is no-sew there's a lot of that.

Thalia @swirlymuse.bsky.social · 29/02/2024

Also I just uploaded another crochet pattern if anyone wants a go at it. Chubby borbs this time ravel.me/little-chubb...

Thalia @swirlymuse.bsky.social · 02/02/2024

I should probably start sharing some of these little no-sew crochet patterns. So if anyone wants to make a little worry wyrm, here's the pdf on ravelry: ravel.me/worry-wyrm-d... I've already shared it on a fb crochet group i'm in, it's been tested and works out, so here you go! :)
