friendly reminder that you can still get covid in 2024, we're in the middle of a massive wave right now and covid is NOT "just a cold". take necessary precautions in crowded places, on buses, on train, or on planes. it's better enduring a few strange looks when wearing a mask than getting ill and/or (god forbid) lifelong complications from long covid!
oh also, if you've got symptoms–yes it's a pain to have to buy a test–but PLEASE test. we're still in the middle of a pandemic however much we all want to forget that fact and we can still do our bit to protect others!
#speaking from someone who's currently on her covid sickbed from the eras tour#it's not fun out here! i haven't slept for coughing i've been running a low grade fever for days and my hair follicles hurt!#covid isn't over#covid#covid 19#fi's covid content#i've also had long covid before and i really hope this doesn't bring it back and there's no way of knowing so all around#wouldn't recommend the experience

how are you planning to engage in community care and activism in the coming days/weeks? (mask blocs, food distribution, etc etc)
#locking in on building my shops union power and settling this contract before trump has a chance to gut the NLRB#comitting myself to covid caution and fulfilling work over quick dopamine hit high risk events#joining my local food not bombs for weekly cooking for the community#getting into this pre dental track w the goal of providing care to low income and unhoused ppl

Your art is so flipping pretty, and I just adore how you style all of the persona characters! But my question is, are there any other fandoms/works of art that you want to post or start rambling about? I hope you have a lovely day! (o゜▽゜)o☆
you can have those?
#personal#asks & requests#ok jokes over. ive drawn stuff for project sek/ai and danganrknpa on here before among a few other things#im not going to get into every anime i like but yknow. bochi. bakarin a. dunmesshi. recently wind breakr#big fan of ur turn to die and world ends with you#ive done a bit of art for in starts & time i will do more please go play it please please please#and ive been getting into umi neko lately!#[everything was spelled wrong on purpose as to not show up in search results]#but non persona things will be scarce on this blog. my love of this series is less special interest than full blown obsession LMAO#it takes so much time and energy to Create Things Im Proud Of its usually only persona delusions that get me thru it ever since Long Covid#fatigue is getting better though so maybe ill branch out more eventually! i rlly wanna draw beatrice umi/neko saaaur :3

I just don't understand people who don't do a COVID test when they get sick
#like yes of course for some people thats not affordable#but for the vast majority money isnt the issue#i picked up a sore throat and congestion over the weekend and figured it was allergies#i was pretty damn sure but i coughed last night and thats unusual#so i bit the bullet and at 7 fucking am this morning i went and found a covid test before work#good thing too because by the time i got to work the test was positive#because of that im within the window for paxlovid#and i havent really exposed that many people#my brother in christ this shit kills people#its not the common cold#the responsible thing to do is to test when youre fucking sick#and isolate if you know its covid#i have no idea on what criteria i qualified for paxlovid but im guessing it was asthma#heres hoping my mcas doesnt throw a tantrum about this#its entirely possible i caught this from my coworker#who did not test at all and stopped wearing a mask after a day or two#they know about my health issues and i cant help but feel hurt about how little they cared about the possible consequences to me#i should be fine btw im not even feeling particularly sick#salt baby talks#disability#chronic illness

wow it's been A While since i experienced Acute Sick Privilege, ie: the rare privilege where you're the kind of chronically ill that doctors Actually Do Take Very Seriously. anyway i just walked into my doctor's office & within 15 minutes i had prescriptions for antibiotics, multiple inhalers, and a heavier course of prednisone than i've ever been on in my Life.
#i SHOULD log out on all devices before i take the prednisone because it can do um. interesting things#to a person's impulse control and mental filter.#i'm unlikely to do that though bc i need tumblr if i'm gonna be in bed for another week#so please. please. Please God. be patient with whatever i end up posting over the next several days.#autoimmune tag#it turns out if you have a history of lung problems bronchitis pneumonia and twice-over COVID#plus multiple autoimmune diseases that impair your immune system#(good) doctors REALLLYYYYYYY do NOT say 'yeah just rest at home and you'll be fine.'#this is fascinating. i love to be. so sick.

You know what. I'm gonna use this place as an accountability checker. Aka, any story idea I put on here, I HAVE to write something for. Also, instead of doing an "every day, post something creative for May," I'll do it every week (I'll still DO something every day, but not post).
So first thing that I've really wanted to write for a while now? A Cinderella story where the prince is blind.
#i have had this story idea for over....i don't even know now#definitely before covid though#i have a clear image of it in my head and not much of a story along with it#so i think i'll just write what i can and post it in the reblog as i do#or just post it on wordpress whatever is easiest and fastest#lemon duck quacks#if i don't at least post something by next thursday then you may feel free to beat me over the head with sticks#but yeah. cinderella where the prince is blind is probably not anything new but it's not something i've personally seen

i love how my mask keeps me safer. i love how it allows me to go to campus and know that i have a reduced risk of getting covid. i love seeing other people wearing masks and knowing that their act is likely one of compassion. i love seeing people masking outside. i love seeing people masking in all spaces. i love knowing that my mask makes the covid conscious movement visible. i love knowing that i'm not alone. 😷❤️
#this message brought to you by a bunch of people coughing in my campus library#and me leaving immediately to go outside and practice some gratitude before my class#i love you too covid conscious people in my phone!!#covid conscious#wear a mask#disability justice#covid isn't over#clean the air#covid is airborne#covid is not the flu#mask up#stop mask bans

There'll likely be a chapter tomorrow and you have @wonderlandmind4 to thank for that, both for beta-ing for me and for smacking my really really bad imposter syndrome voice over the head with a rolled-up newspaper until it was not so loud, because damn, have I been deep in it and worried about finally posting again.
#the red thread#i literally do not have words for how deep in an imposter-syndrome anxiety hole i've been for the past few months#i have been convinced everything i wrote since covid was stupid or bad and i'd get nothing but 'pasta what happened this is shit' comments#because all i was told before posting trt for the first time was. well. that it was a shit idea and everyone would hate it#and i guess struggling with the words/brain fog put me back there#i could see *nothing* but bad every time i went over the new chapter(s)#i think sometimes you need a good friend to hit that voice over the head and then take the good parts and hold them up in front of you

forgive me if I'm a little late to this? but let me get this straight:
Neil Gaiman asks for fans coming to his events to please mask for everyone's safety
when asked why he isn't mandating them he says he tried but the venues won't allow it
many people don't listen, or don't see the ask bc it isn't official from the venue, and show up maskless
Neil now has COVID (for a second time, which means his risk of complications is higher) along with anyone else who got infected at that event
I just. y'all. please.
If you are going to a fan event, especially a big one like a con where there will be tons of people, you need to be wearing a mask right now. Actors and other people who work in entertainment who meet with many people and frequent large gatherings or are part of con staff for instance are at significant risk of COVID from the sheer amount they are being exposed to, not only from acute infection but cumulative damage from multiple infections or long COVID and post COVID complications. COVID levels are nearly as high as they were in the first wave in 2020 and being vaccinated does not guarantee u cannot catch and/or transmit it(this study from this year says it's around 1 in five). Please be excellent to each other and do your best to not get your faves, their staff, or other fans sick.
why and how masks work and what types are the safest (you can get good masks in all sorts of colors now btw if u want to match ur cosplay or stuff, ProjectN95 is a good source, and Jelli has clear masks if u want to have ur face visible)
I wish Neil a speedy and full recovery, and I hope more people listen to him and others trying to keep fans and creators and staff safe right now ❤️
#FansMaskUp
#NYCC happening this week and I'm like 👀 good luck guys#neil gaiman#good omens#coronavirus#covid isn't over#covid cw#solidarity with neil here#comic con this year got a bunch of people sick too#this whole situation has me so angry. how many creators and fans have to be severely harmed or killed before the community reckons with#the fact that we still very much need safety precautions against COVID at these things#blurb

it's been since my early 20s that I had in-person friends to actually hang out with regularly. and idk how to word it exactly, but making a push last year to actively try and forge friendships in person was such a good idea
I'd been missing that sense of physical community for so long and I finally feel like I have it back. and it's just a boon to my soul!!
#[static]#i love love love my friends from all over the world and im always longing to hang out with you all in person#i love that we've all found ways to be close despite distance! be it games or hanging out or calls or sending each other fun stuff#my brain was suffering big time not having ppl directly in front of me (besides my wonderful beloved husband)#and now i wake up every morning with many messages from my local friends and we hang out weekly if not more#it's just .... nice to finally have found community!! i moved right 2 months before covid so there were years where it was just me n percy-#- holding on for dear life but now we have ppl who we can hang out with together and make memories with!#we're both pretty introverted but ya still need some sort of human contact now and again haha#there were a couple years there where the only time id get a message it was just from my mom and that was it fkjghd#i had stopped messaging old friends from my old city because they never replied back and i got tired of reaching out after a couple years#everyones got their own battles to fight and all that i just got really bummed out trying to keep connections going when it felt one-sided

Everytime I face a new character limit on a website that didn't have them before/used to have really long ones... AUGHHhhh the modern social media world was not made for people like me (lovers of details, rambling, elaboration, thorough explanation, and nuance)
#twitter and other short form shit and everything being a Phone App On Small Screen instead of a Proper#Computer Website i feel like has just ruined the format of literally everything for me. Thoughts just keep getting more and more condensed#with detail and nuance taken away. everything over simplified into only the basics. blah blah blah. I've already probably rambled about thi#all before but it's just SO frustrating. I literally just CAN NOT talk that way!!! even if I try!!! I took multiple advanced placement#english & language arts classes in school and I literally never made below an A on any assignment EVER except for ESSAYS#where I would legit get almost failing grades just because I cannt express myself concisely. I took an english placement test thats made to#like evaluate your competency in a subject and out of the 102 multiple choice questions I only missed TWO of them. almost a perfect#score. But for the 5 open response questions (about articulating thoughts succinctly) I did not get a single one of them lol#I only got partial credit on 3. It's like I OBVIOUSLY understand the material and I know how Words Work and how to analyze and interpret#meaning and etc. etc. But it's just when I have to express myself CLEANLY I can't. It's always ''well you have very good points and you#get around to the idea eventually and I think it's very insightful - but it just needs to be shorter/the side tangent needs to be removed/#etc.'' I've always wondered if it has something to do with being on the schizophrenia spectrum and how that can cause disorganized#speech sometimes hmm..ANYWAY.. But I just naturally express myself in a very particular way which is lengthy and I can't rea#ly seem to control it. So it's basically like just.. being gradually pushed out of every place that won't accomodate people with different#ways of like perceiving and expressing or etc. Everything cannot ALWAYS be 100% 'Short and Snappy and To The Point' or a quippy one#liner or the Bare Minimum of information being provided or etc. Some peoples brains just do not work like that!!!!! Sorry I operate#in detail and elaboration lol. ANYWAY.. I still sometimes use random ''dating sites'' like OKCupid to look for platonic friends since#I never leave the house so it's hard for me to just meet friends naturally. And I just realized today that they added a RIDICULOUSLY small#character limit to their messaging system (2000 words?? augh). And also took away answer explanations (when you answer a compatibility#question you used to have a space to give detail and explain why you answered the way you did) and removed a few other features and it's ju#t like.. how the fuck is any of this actually helpful in terms of judging compatibility? take away ALL nuance and anyting that actually#is meant to tell you anything about a person? Bumble's character limits for your profile description are even more fucking insane and so#is every other disgustingly minimalistic place I've seen like.. OKC used to be superior BECAUSE it allowed for a TON of detail. like back i#2016 or something there was SO much data you could look at. long form question answers. personality trait summaries. etc. Now you have#SOO little to judge off of when evaluating compatibiility it's like. You'd have better luck just throwing a dart in a crowded street and#talking to whoever it hits. Why are people so fucking allergic to reading anything longer than 3 words and providing DETAILS!! It just seem#harder and harder to find any place to meet platonic friends where you have any amount of actual data to go off of and it isnt basically#just random 'speed dating' set up shit. AARGH. &I know 'oh just join a club& meet ppl irl' 1. erm..covid. 2.I mostly want to meet ppl#in places I'd like to move so I already know ppl when I get there. You kind of HAVE to do that online. bc I am not there yet.. WISHING for#Complexity.Com where ppl can upload full 900 page psychological files of themselves. MINIMUM profile character limit 30k words lol

It’s crazy to think I was 12 when stranger things first came out and season 5 will come out when I’m 21/22 (depending what time in 2025 it is released). I think the biggest con with shows taking so long to release new seasons is that your target demographic could literally age out before you even reach season 3. Like I’m so over it please free me from this hell.
#like I get Covid and the writers strike screwed things up but the biggest issue is making audiences wait over 6 months to find out if a#show is renewed or not which delays the filming process#I just wish they would commit to the shows they put out and allow them to finish before they get cancelled as well#like if you can’t ‘afford’ to do multiple seasons of a show because it didn’t get stranger things/bridgerton level views maybe the way you#choose to budget things is the problem not the audience#autumn rambles
