spider bite, spider bite 

ow ow ow this spider bite hurts. :| it's not necrotizing or anything, just puffy and red, like a zit. if it doesn't look better by tomorrow I'll definitely go to a medical professional about it, but right now I'm okay treating it at home and just hoping it'll take care of itself. :P

@mawr I meant *first above* AJ ugh typos XD

@mawr ooh--what's your first? if it rates second below AJ, I really want to read it! XD

also I deadpanned to Spouse that I was basically cosplaying when we went to see the Spiderman movie because I have a visible probably-spider bite on my neck and nearby inflamed lymph node. his reactions to such things are part of why he is and continues to be my Spouse. <3

it deals very intelligently and respectfully with:
* grief
* addiction
* gender assumptions (the default gender is "she" and to this day on re-reading it I still don't know what gender most of the main characters "really" are)
* systematic injustice
* systematic racism

and a whole bunch of other stuff. I would seriously buy a copy of the trilogy and send it to everybody here if I could, it's that damn good.

possible spoilers for Ancillary Justice 

the main character of Ancillary Justice is an "ancillary," a human body repurposed into being essentially a physical component of a spaceship, who loses the rest of herself, and has to come to terms with being singular, not a spaceship, and what happened to make her that way.

had a very good day, despite early aggravation. went to see the Spiderman movie, which despite not passing the Bechdel test was quite good, and very funny. had a reasonably good lunch at Red Robin, and a very good dinner at home (salmon and rice--plain, but good comfort food), and am now absorbed re-reading the Ancillary Justice series, which btw I unreservedly and wholeheartedly recommend to everybody reading this, *yes I mean you in particular*.

Also finally resolved in my own head that mastodon isn't about avoiding politics. CWs aren't about avoiding politics.

Taking care with content is about managing risk to others so that the effort to repair a damaged world doesn't deteriorate into panic, aggression or despair.

CWs seem like a small good step towards respecting that the state of global politics affects us deeply. It's not a sideshow.

omfg so fucking aggravated (no not about you or anything to do with you) way beyond what would reasonably be called for ararrrarrarararrfgggghghalkdhfgakerhaquerfghiaulefrghaeurghluiearhg

@chalcedony@octodon.social ooooooh good thought, yes!

so I gave the dream a happy ending where I drove off in a convertible with a guardian angel-dog-wolf and laughed at the person I'd been angsting about as they suffered a humorous downfall because of their actions. and then woke up trying to come up with a name for the angel-dog-wolf. I got as far as "Lux-something-Latin-maybe?"

this following a dream where I was being INCREDIBLY ANGSTY (because my emotions are always super-amplified in dreams) about not getting the kind of attention I wanted from someone, and in the dream I was complaining that I felt weirdly tired and dreamlike, and I was worried that I'd hurt myself or something because of it, and then woke up a bit more and realized I had that dreamlike feeling BECAUSE I WAS IN FACT DREAMING.
