Short answer: Yes. A year ago, I'd be more charitable and add nuisance. I am so disappointed in myself for having ANY sympathy for such entitled c*nts (I have exhausted every ounce of goodwill). How can it be so hard to 'spot' a despot? Not very. We are trapped in a fire with the idiot arsonists.

Some digital art from late September). I need to REDO the entire project as these aren't what the client envisioned, lol. My bad (it has been a long time since completing an art project for someone).
Digital art (Procreate, iOS). 
September 22nd to 28th, 2026, cropped and edited with my Android photos/gallery settings.

It was one of three images (commissioned by a mutual friend of a dear friend; both are musicians who are looking for an artist). I am said artist. 

This image (along with the other two) wasn't used for album art— that is my fault! I have ADHD and didn't fully grasp or understand the assignment 🙃 

I am working on the album cover again— with strict instructions— which I appreciate (my RSD was pretty crushing when the client deconstructed my whole piece). Their feedback was pretty positive about my ability— nobody disliked these drawings or took offence with my odd visuals— like my dumb brain WANTS to believe (RSD). 

Rejection Sensitivity Disorder: 
Ever wonder why you feel like a fraud or an imposter? Or when you get so hyped up and motivated to do a thing someone else says (because they recognise your ability), but you FAIL it once and immediately assume everyone fucking HATES you? Yeah. RSD. 

I never KNEW IT was a REAL THING (my family/therapist from long ago told me to just "grow up.") Mate, I dropped out of university 9 years ago because of this crap! "Grow up", my ass.Yeah, I agree that this piece isn't very relatable or whimsical (well, at least not in the client's opinion). Again, I misunderstood and did something so ludicrous that my friends now (probably) think my mental health never improved on SSRIs. 

The cats. They're cute and FUN to paint.This is what 3 days of no sleep and little eating will do to a mf descending in an artistic spiral. I had fun! Screw the RSD.

The client didn't approve, and I will fix their request by doing what they said (the artwork they want is more tranquil and dreamlike). I agree. This is too wild.

OH, art. Sorry. My art is too boring to describe 🖐 

Fine. It is a squid alien lady stealing a washing machine, but her plans are foiled by two red cats. Idk! I was in a trance. September 18th 2026.

This is more of a brainstorm. 
It includes my black cat, Meows (RIP, you little void). He was put to sleep last month, and I cried like a b*tch for hours.
He was fine until he wasn't.

Maulbeere and Schnitzel (and me).
Maulbeere is doing very well living away with his bio dad and uncle. He has grown so much!Schnitzel wants the paper. 

She brings it back to me and makes a strange noise 😩🥰I am bored. 

And boring 😴 

I did a LOT of digital painting (my brain no longer works). The migraine is worth the payments for each commission— but my poor head... God, I missed this! Using the brain to DRAW IDEAS (so many don't make the cut). The client is releasing a single and wanted artwork for their song— if I do well, they'll return for more. I can't wait (hopefully, I can start working on this instead of wasting time worrying).

The Mother of British Aid Worker James Henderson who was murdered by an Israeli airstrike while delivering food in Gaza has demanded a ban of all weapon sales to Israel. His killers will never be brought to justice so this is the only justice James Henderson will ever get. Justice for Henderson.

Schnitzel wants hugs from her mommy, Moth. And maybe milk, but those days are done, little Schnitzel. Both girls had the late night/early morning zoomies.

More cats.
Schnitzel, with her custom-made Brain Whale.She was rested until a suspicion of kibble scented the room.Moth. 

She is very patient with me (I fed her afterwards, but she has changed food preferences again). It is sometimes Whisker's in jelly (Ocean Variety), Sheba Chicken Fillets in Jelly/Gravy (they come in a tiny bowl), or Gourmet Cat Perle/Pâté (Salmon and Duck are her favourite flavours). She is fussy and will change her preferences regularly. However, one thing never changes: battered cod with skin (SHE WILL STEAL IT). 

I think her breeder raised the litter on that Purina stuff— Moth absolutely hates it as an adult— she will do the 'digging' gesture and refuse to even look at the food. 

Oh, scrambled eggs (with formula for kittens instead of cow/goat milk). 
I gave Moth that when she was poorly— to get her condition back (weight). 
Most queens (if not all) lose a remarkable amount of weight nursing a litter, but she was 11 months old and had 6 kittens. The best way to handle an underweight queen nursing a large litter is foods with high amounts of protein, fat, and TASTE— warm the food up, too. Hot food smells more to a cat. 
Water is key! Helps the queen digest the food and avoids her straining in the box. 
The vet should only be involved if she is loslosing condition and becoming unwell (like Moth did). She has a swollen lip with ulcers for a few weeks— steroids fixed it in 1 week. Why did she get the ulcers? Low weight, stress, and dietary demands— 6 kittens nursing for 10 weeks was a lot. Moth is a good mom.

A VERY GOOD MOM. Maulbeere. A beautiful boy.

So, Schnitzel still tries her best to nurse from Moth. It looks silly because she is 12 weeks old, lol.
Schnitzel doesn't want to grow up and that is valid. Schnitzel is very cute. However, her little teeth and claws are not 🫠Moth. 

She has recovered well! Nursing 6 kittens for 11 weeks was difficult and exhausting. The kittens (save for Schnitzel) were rehomed to amazing people who are now friends— each kitten is well-loved and shared (the families cherish these little cuties). 

Moth misses them— she really loved being a mother. Her gums and lips are back to normal. 

It turns out her immune system was really running on steam (6 kittens are caloric vacuums). Her lip was swollen and ulcerated, but steroid treatment set her back on track. Now, she can be a goofy Ragdoll again— demanding Gourmet food and chicken fillets. The little mare.

Just want to point out if people had been beaten up at the Green or SNP party conference and their leader had cheered it on. It wouldn't just have been on TV, it would have been on TV non-stop until the election. But for Reform, it barely got mentioned.

I need time to process this. I have Grave's Disease, Variegate Porphyria (hepatic cutaneous; variant: Acute Intermittent), probably EDS (Ehler's Danlos Syndrome), and autism (genetic!). And the government thinks I chose this? I didn't get a chance to choose my genes, friendo. Anti-science freaks.

My stupid ankle and knee kept clanking and slipping out of their positions when he instructed me to do these hyper-mobility tests! He also believed me when I said, "My local GP practice won't see me. The receptionist there says there are no vacancies and I am 'fit' and 'young'." Save our NHS.

My T3 and T4 (thyroid) levels are the same as April... Yay. High and making my eyes sore as shit. However, the physician I am now assigned by the hospital's metabolic team had me complete a hyper-mobility test. He is confused because I am "textbook" EDS. Haha. I'm not NEW to medical negligence.

VF @trud3d.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
Variegate Porphyria is genetic and a metabolic disease. It CAN contribute to one's health failing, but it rarely kills nowadays (blood tests and transfusions save lives). Dialysis is something I will need much later on in life (kidneys). But... Why am I seeing a rheumatologist? Ehler's Danlos.

4/3 (sorry). Variegate Porphyria (hepatic cutaneous Porphyrias) HATE sunlight and hot weather/climates. I am UNSTOPPABLE in the fall and winter; come springtime and summer, my body locks up and stops operating optimally. Abdominal dysregulation (inflammation). Pains in the chest. Tingling.

3/3 Lymphocyte? I had very few left because the Porphyria had attacked them. My heme is a monster that doesn't filter blood cells healthily. This can lead to impaired mobility, lung function, heart function, and a failing liver or kidneys. Yes, it is a fuckass genetic condition. Heatwave. Sun.

2/3 The UCU consultant GP checked my records and contacted the appropriate teams and their respective wards/clinics. Monday, I had a walk-in blood test (blood counts). It was 6 hours— because they did a transfusion on the spot. Variegate Porphyria (AIP variation). I had LOW white blood cells.

1/3 Saturday: I went to the Urgent Care Unit at my nearest hospital. It was a 4 hour endeavour— most of it was me fainting and forgetting WHY I was even there, lol. I went because my ankle finally got too sore that it pissed me off. The consultant GP(?) referred me to Clinic 5 for blood counts.

I am seeing a rheumatologist. Turns out hypermobile extremities that over extend and dislocate is not normal. Sorry, but HOW have I made it to 30 without ANYONE noticing my knees are groovy? Yup, I am bendy and very much in agony 👍✨️ At least, I will finally know why running hurts now.

Oh, what a gaffe. I'm pleased that the hospital is an option. Seriously. Don't wait for your local surgery/GP practice to help you— sit in A&E for 10 hours— it is 'better' than fighting with a receptionist for 2 months over booking a blood test. When my conditions need regular blood checks. Wtf.

A quick (funny) aside, the hospital GP I spoke with yesterday didn't believe that I am 30. He expressed sympathy for my silly situation and helped me calm down (waiting in A&E for a few hours is better than being denied appointments at my local surgery). He thought I was 22 based on looks, haha.

I have a condition called Acute Intermittent Porphyria (it is a variation of Variegate Porphyria, a condition my mother has). My flare-ups or "Porphyria attacks" are irregular in severity. Seizures are rare and usually suggest that my haemoglobin is maxed out with porphyrian cells.
