Adjustment 

It's strange, and yet not, how quickly my SOs have switched references for me. I updated the board to "Orrery" yesterday and almost instantly everyone swapped over.

th' buni isn't gone. she may become like Elbey, another self into which I tap as the need arises, rather than a baseline expression of self. I'm still feeling out the edges.

@mawr I have three that do that. I'm happy to share them, or help you roll your own.

Selfie, eyes, bad framing 

This lens flare has been following me since I got here.

@kauko Looks legit. Pity there aren't any gryphons or phoenices, though.

"Shit" "Post" 

I'm fourth-dimensionally non-binary. It only looks like I'm female in profile shots that don't capture the evolutionary history of self in the frame.

@drwho Bullshit has ever been among us. It's just easier to isolate and route around it here.

poly (-) 

@Sparf @makyo Polyam isn't for everyone. It can be hard and everyone needs to be able to speak up about their needs and wants, and everyone has work to put towards strengthening their relationships without hurting other connections in the polycule. That can be really difficult to navigate when you're already upset.

It can be incredibly rewarding, but I do see the difficulties and the stress. Let me know if you want to talk about it.

@skolli@mastodon.social Seriously it sounds awesome. :)

@skolli@mastodon.social SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.

*shakes out train* There. Let's do this for a while.

The Work Continues. 

This has been very therapeutic. It has also been very disorienting. I think th' buni needs a long nap in the hutch. I'll be taking over for her for a while.

@distressedegg Sugar glass, royal icing, spice (cinnamon/clove) cake, and those spicedrops grandmothers everywhere love.

@Fuego Sympathy is appreciated. I will heal.

I'm learning to deal with a lot of old wounds I didn't realize had left lasting emotional damage until now, and I'm coming to terms with a lot of past trauma. Some of that involves ripping old bandages off so I can tend to the hurt beneath. The process is slow, but it's happening.

@Fuego I had some weight dropped on a psychic bruise and I couldn''t hold it. I'll be okay. I'm still recovering.

Sometimes, in the course of healing, you have to put weight on an injured body part. It won't be pleasant, but it's part of healing.
