It's not that I don't _do_ anything when the depression gets bad.
For example, one thing I do is think about what I would say if there were the slimmest possibility of my being able to say it face-to-face with anyone anywhere who could actually change the system that allows my health insurance to barricade my access to the one treatment that I've ever found that genuinely lets me _heal_ from my chronic depression.
So, you know. I get a lot done.

"a... Alexa?"
"I'm here! Can I help you?"
"Could... Could you collect childrens' personal information from birth announcements, phones, tablets, searches and social media for 18 years, building a shadow profile of them without ever actually *using* it until they were of legal age, and then market to them using a perfect predictive copy of their every want and desire?"
"Could I _ever._"
You are allowed to do stuff just because you want to.
Even if it uses up all your spoons/matches.
Even if it leaves your exhausted and broken the next day.
Even if you need to let other stuff slide a bit while you recover.
You are allowed to have fun, to go out, to take a day once in a while and do what you want with it.
Being #disabled, or #chronicallyill, or a #parent, etc doesn't mean you can't take time for you.

Oops, I Did Music For This! (episode 1)
I only just now learned of another actual published video game product that contains my music: the Advance Game Port by Datel for the GameCube.
Here's a review of the device it's part of. You'll see one of the parts I worked on (be patient!)... but you won't hear the music in it. I'll link to that in a bit.

Henlo frens-- A dear friend of mine needs your help!
Her name is Natasha; she's disabled and trans, living in the DC area. She lost her job shortly after the car wreck that took the regular use of her legs from her. But good news!! It sounds like she's about to be extended a job offer that should get her financially stable again! She's way short on rent this month though and could really use some help!

There's a cold going around!
If you don't hear much from me today – yeah, like I'm such a nonstop tooter normally – it's because I've caught some illness that's making it very uncomfortable to.. anything.
Don't worry, already got my needs covered, thanks to my wife. Still, it'd be nice to get some sleep. It's 35 o'clock in my world. *zombie*
