I needed a doorstop but Target only had transparent ones. I guess traditional brown doorstops stand out too much... like what you’d want a doorstop to do.

I have been fibro-flaring quite a lot lately and I've started needing my cane a lot more. I'm also looking into getting a disabled parking permit. I feel like this is a threshold that I was hoping to never reach.

Fibromyalgia sucks. I really suggest never having it.

A fascinating look at how good Amazon Prime is for Amazon, but not buyers or sellers:

Anyone in the Seattle area able to help me out with replacing a kitchen faucet? I used to be able to do this sort of thing myself but, y'know. Fibromyalgia.

This is a really good article about #SuperStraight and The Insidious Discomfort With Trans Women In Public Space | by Kat Blaque |

I, among a bunch of other people, encouraged her to publish it somewhere after she started a conversation on her community page on YouTube. I'm so happy I now have an article to share with you all.

I think the controls for it should be a slider bar that you have to drag left and right to indicate your diaphragm position

but you have to carefully slide the mouse pointer to stay on the track or else you cause a bronchiospasm

oh wow it turns out that Synology Surveillance Station only comes with licenses for two cameras? And additional licenses are $60/camera? What the hell!

Of course the night before my security camera for my garden arrives, something dug up my potatoes. Coincidence?!

Yeah probably

You’ve heard of walking simulators, get ready for: breathing simulators

I'm finally watching Star Wars IX, and it's not as bad as I was led to believe, but it also helps that I already knew all the spoilers.

Mostly I'm just amused by how so many of the characters are affecting a British accent, except for John Boyega who is going out of his way to not sound British at all.

Huh, WarnerMedia must be desperate to get employees back now that they're being spun back off from AT&T, judging by the recruiting email they just sent me.

Shame they addressed it to my deadname.

I've had the next Lewi comic at like 95% completion for like 6 months now why the fuck can't I just finish coloring/shading it and post it already

why is it so hard for me to have any interest in actually working on these comics that my brain keeps on wanting to think about

Reminder: It's possible to be MSG-sensitive without being racist about it.

Corollary: It's possible that people can be MSG-sensitive without a racist basis to it.

This applies to people on both sides of the MSG discourse, regardless of who's louder at any given time.

re: Food, meat specifically 

Update: I did, in fact, get a migraine from the hand sanitizer, and had to take a nap. Ugh. And now it's late o'clock and I don't have the time/energy to make a proper dinner so I guess I'm baking another frozen pizza.

Incidentally, I really like the online butcher and here’s a $25 off coupon for anyone who wants to try it (and it gives me a $25 credit too): crowdcow.com/l/ue9ty84r8na

Usually ingredient boxes are stupidly overpriced but crowdcow is actually quite reasonable. They’re a little more expensive than a typical grocery store but the quality is amazing and they have a lot of specialty stuff. Also some amazing sausage!

Oh they also asked me to use hand sanitizer but the sanitizer they provided was ridiculously perfumey and I think I’m getting a migraine from it. So yay for that too.

re: Food, meat specifically 

The chorizo tastes pretty good but it’s the really crumbly kind. It’d go good in burritos or pozole but not so good as breakfast sausage which is how I usually use it. And I feel like the grocery store stuff tastes better. So, no reason tos witch to the butcher just for that.

Their prices are also not great compared to the online butcher I’ve been using, and of course are more expensive than the grocery store.

So I guess this butcher is good if I need a specialty cut of meat in a hurry but I don’t see myself becoming a regular. Usually I also don’t buy specific cuts of meat, I just buy what the online butcher has on special that month to experiment with things to try.

And that MSG thing is really disappointing. :(
