I feel that, too.

Be well.

Ah yeah, this is what I need to be doing with this mood/energy level.

@shmibs@writing.exchange

I'm doing okay. I feel a little lonely and a little empty, but in an oddly relaxing way.

I hope you are doing alright too!

This selfie is a year old.

Look at the cute kitten tail cameo!

Someone replied "loneliness has an echo" in response to my "loneliness has an echo" post and

yes. good. exactly.

Ack, I'm at the point of the night where coffee is keeping me up but I have no idea what to do with myself. Not a lot of energy or sleepiness.

At least until it's so vast that there's nothing left for sound to reverberate from.

My loneliness still has an echo, though.

Loneliness has an echo

@erinbee

The repeated chants of "stale memories", "regrets", "scraped bones"", "left us" are especially relevant and haunting atm.

@erinbee I didn't realize initially that it was an entire album, so I was going to point out that I didn't hear any voices on my listen. But yeah, damn.

This really gets under my skin and is a perfect match for my uncomfortable, slightly unsettled mood right now.

Thanks for the rec!

@RussSharek@mastodon.art Very! :3

My real concerted effort to make healthier nachos.

Contains:
Marinated tofu
Broccoli slaw mix
Shredded carrots
Black beans
Shredded brussel sprouts
Cheese
Blue corn chips

Oops I forgot salsa, adding that too.

Hm, my skin more closely resembles dehydrated skin rather than naturally dry skin. It feels tight and it's red and flaky, but still has an oily sheen to it.

Supposedly what causes this is using the wrong products. Which is fine, but I hardly use any skin products? Just a fragrance-free, gentle cleanser twice a day and moisturizer. Tf?

There's a possibility this is related to diabetes. High blood sugar can dry out and irritate skin. That's actually pretty likely.

Does anyone else struggle with acne-prone skin that is dry and has large pores?

Any suggestions for skincare regimes?

My brief internet search revealed the usual contradictory suggestions.

I just want a simple solution that won't take forever to implement or cause my skin to go red and flaky.

@GinnyMcQueen@kitty.town SERIOUSLY. So many friends and loved ones having expensive emergency room visits lately because they can't get the right medication prescribed and STOP BREATHING.

Fuck this country, seriously.

I really want to see a dermatologist and not just a doctor who looks at my skin for 2 seconds and prescribes me retin-A.

I still haven't figured out the right combination of skin products for my fair, sensitive, combination skin with massive pores. Treatments for dry skin don't work and those for oily skin cause redness and pain.

Obviously I need to take care of my diabetic healthcare and mental health needs first, but having bad skin is also troubling.
