Music, Sailor Moon? 

@Fuego @TipsyTentacle@witches.town

I'm familiar with Saint Pepsi already, though not any of their albums! (and, yup, heckin' good there too)

I wasn't sure of the actual genre classification, though. And it's good.

They're all good dogs, angela :3

Hey, awoo'ers. G'morning.

I know i've been kind of a mess these past couple days, but I think i'm through the nadir. i'mma be doing my best to try that whole...self-care thing. It's...not easy for me. But I promise i'll try.

You should find reason to care and love for yourself today, okay?

Because you're absolutely worth it, too. We all are.

Hug. 💜

Hugs available on tap. 💜

PSA to folks who're afraid of reaching out to a friend because you think they're too busy with their life and might think you're a nuisance for bothering them 

You're not alone, and the person you're convinced is too popular and cool to want to spend time with you might very well be assuming the same of you.

Source: I got to know most of my best friends only after overcoming this hurdle of mutually assumed disinterest.

May today grant you kindness, comfort, joy,

and cessation of undue suffering.

You, by right of possessing life and sentience, deserve all these.

💜

@kauko i know this pain well. sendin' lots of hug. lots and lots and lots. *squeeze*

i hope you dream of wonders this evening.

i hope that dream grants you solace and joy and wonder

and all the kindnesses you are owed

and all the love i promise you are worthy of.

cw adjustment: previous three awoos to

'hurt, fear over future, venting, severe headsads'

dont read that

You are okay. You deserve to be okay.
Your self-care is okay.

I hope you can find cause for happiness, today.

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.

(please do not replicate the otter, there are some very not good personality glitches in there that would be preferred not to be seen in others.

we are aware of these, and are working on rectifying them. Thank you for your care and your time.

downer sincerity 

@mawr @Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town

I can vent and lament all I want, but...it...doesn't help me through it, tbh. the hurt's still there, it still festers. I still don't have any actions I can take. i'm still stuck waiting.

so i don't.

thank you, though.

downer sincerity 

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town @mawr

TBH, I dont feel ok showing my hurt anymore.

somewhere along the way my head internalized the idea of 'only one person can be in the I Am Hurting node at a time'; if *anyone* else is I *will* prioritize them 100% of the time.

Also my support network being on the other end of the country. Also it..not..really helping actually stop the hurt. etc, etc.

i have a therapist now tho, and we'll be talking by phone on Monday, so there's that at least.

updates, sad thoughts 

@Doephin At least, yes. Possibly longer, depending on if they see him as 'ready' after that 30 days or say he needs more treatment.

That's why i'm calling it quits on Burning Man andor eclipse-watching plans now; they clearly aren't happening, no matter how badly I hope otherwise.

I'm sorry i haven't been able to help.

i see your hurt. all of you.
i'm sorry i can't do much to staunch it.

i'm sorry i can't even help myself, right now.

i'm just sorry.

i should be quiet more.

updates, sad thoughts 

So the medication brother started is the actual chemotherapy meds.

It's a 30-day dose. After that, I guess they'll decide from there if he needs more or to move ahead with transplant.

I'm here until then.

I give up on BM. and the eclipse. They're clearly not happening.

friends and family've said 'focus on getting there next year', and i just can't.

i can't plan because as far as i can tell next year will be worse. either i won't have money or time or both. likely both.

Hey, you.

It's the weekend. I hope you can find some time to relax, to find happiness. To rest. To remember you are loved. 💜
