Always tooting for th'antihero @Momentrabbit@awoo.space

@literorrery We save the ones we can. Not the ones we 'should'.

@squeakycheetah Yup. I've seen the foxes earlier today, that's a real thing. Also a lot of images with gaping ulcers, maggots in wounds, and images designed to trigger revulsion in people with Trypophobia.

Better to not go there for a while.

@IrisKalmia *offers hugs?*

@JulieSqveakaroo Being able to use underutilized work resources for personal projects is an undocumented (and somewhat unsanctioned) but very, very real part of my compensation.

@catgoat Your local Greyhound rescue organization could probably use a little help.

@ElectricKeet To be fair, there's a lot more stuff now. The odds of things going wrong goes up with every moving part. *hugs*

@skolli@mastodon.social o.o

O.O OF. *COURSE*. THEY. DO.

((and has impulse control issues))

(((and is surprisingly speedy even with that huge tail acting like a drag chute)))

@irisjaycomics @emanate @literorrery It's like sleeping on Elastigirl. HAHAHA THAT'S A PERFECTLY NORMAL AND RELATABLE THING TO THINK AIN'T IT oh ghod so strrrrretchy...

@catgoat You are a QTNB. n.n

@emanate ((which is all a very self-focussed way of saying I am very sorry to hear that you know this game too. *hugs*))

@emanate (And the meta game of the psych meds, of course, is: unmedicated I'm a dick. Being an unmedicated dick has cost me jobs. If I lose this job, and the health insurance with it, then I can't afford *any* meds. But... if I get too physically ill to work, there is a provision in the insurance for long-term disability. So the psych meds are, in one way, more essential than even the insulin to my long-term survival.)

(I don't even like thinking about how precarious this is.)

@emanate Oh ghods that part is the worst. Zugswang. Do I stay sane(r) at the cost of my physical longevity, or do I keep my body healthy(ier) at the risk of being at the mercy of my unmedicated mind? Maybe if I reduce the psych meds to half dose I can scrape through without a full psychotic break, just brain zaps, dysthemia and hours every day of mental self vivisection. Or physical meds: diabetes or blood pressure, stroke or heart disease, spin the wheel and place your bets...

Annnnd then I ran something very large and expensive without an inbound water supply and now its dead.

So it's a day of extremes. 9.9

One reason I acquired, assembled and have been using "Moment's Folly", my 3D printer, was to redevelop some familiarity with gcode. Gcode is an all-purpose instruction set for controlling CNC machines: mills use it, lathes use it, 3d printers use it. And so do many waterjet cutters.

Work has a waterjet. It was refusing to run a process file to cut material: I knew enough of what I was looking at to fix the file and get the project cut.

Another day saved by hobbies and Notepad. XD

Ahhhh.

It is so very nice to be fully medicated again. (For everybody around me, too, I'm sure. n.n)

Calmer, better able to manage bosses and stressors, awake and functional for the first eight hours of the day - and being able to metabolize sugars fully once more does help keep the little grey cells turning over.

As stressful as abruptly pausing meds for money reasons is, the resurgence of system stability once I'm back on them is *almost* worth the discomfort.

@Aradia@mastodon.social Bananas? well, they have appeal...

@catgoat MORE FILAMENT. THE FOLLY MUST BE FED.

@mawr @LexYeen That's as many as ten forties.
