Just give me the coffee, I will do the rest.

Loki is settling in. Mostly, he wants to eat and sleep. The few times I have let him out of the Borg Cube, he's been out for 10 minutes, gets overstimulated, and runs back to his Safe Place. Right now he is learning how to play with toys, and loves his scratching posts and pads. He's been through so much. I have asked that the ex get a visit from his karma.

Unpleasant Subject Ahead

Another thing that this whole thing has driven home is how important it is to get your affairs in order - even if you don't have cancer. Loki's mom was getting a divorce and fell so ill so fast that she was unable to make her own medical decisions within days of admission. Even if you are getting a divorce, even with an actual protective order, your spouse is still the legal default person to make decisions for you. They are your legal heir. If you don't have a legal spouse (marriage certificate), it's your adult children, if you have no kids then your parents make those decisions even if you're a legal adult. If you have no immediate family, then your extended family gets called in.

Power of attorney legal and medical

Will for personal property

Living trust for investments and real estate

Medical orders (supersede those of the POA) such as Do Not Resuscitate

A health care directive like this one.

It's hard to think about, but when your surviving extended family is a mess (like mine) you want these things in order. Hell, have them notarized so that a judge can look at the plaintiff and say, "What the hell is the matter with you?"

Golden Treadmill

I'm strapping myself in with another 'write to spec' contract. Yep, it's more porn. I negotiated for one every six weeks from February to November. I need to visit Amazon and stock up on barf bags and brain bleach. I did say that I won't write noncon or (yes, this is a thing) racist tropes. It's hard for me to write hardcore body horror. I might be writing horrible porn in order to pay off my medical bills that makes my pussy slam shut like an angry clam, but I have standards. That being said, the editor delivered the advance to my freelance bank account and the outline to my inbox.

Whoo boy.

In my defense, I did not know that 'monster fucking' was commercially viable.

Cat in the Kitchen

Rediscovering food has been a wonder. As promised, my rearranged innards make it trial and error, but the errors seem to be self-correcting. Gut flora does come back, but I have not been brave enough to venture into my spicy Indian, Chinese, and Mexican foods.

I've been making casseroles/hotdish because they freeze well and sometimes the fatigue renders me incapable of anything other than pushing a button.

For casseroles/hotdish you need:

Vegetables: Frozen works fine. Canned is saltier, so if you go canned use 'less salt' brands. If you are using mushrooms, frozen, fresh or dried is best. I find canned mushrooms have a very weird metallic taste.

Starch: Potatoes, rice, pasta/noodles, bread. Yes, tater tots count.

Protein: Can be vegetable protein, beans, canned tuna or salmon, or meat. Smoked salmon is delicious in casseroles and soup, so I go to my local deli on Friday to get lox ends and trimmings.

Sauce: Canned soups (cream of ____), jarred or canned pasta sauce, or packaged cooking sauces and gravies.

Topping: Cornflakes, tater tots, cheese, potato chips, stuffing, etc.

Flavor: Dried herbs, onion and celery, garlic, spices.

Slowcooker meals are great, too, and follow the same rules as casseroles/hotdish. But my favorite caserole dish is my Gran's Lancashire hotpot - lamb neck chops, potatoes, onions, and more sliced potatoes on top for a crispy lid.

Back to work.

miraculously managed to snag a intake doctor's appt that is Next Friday instead of what originally looked like having to wait until OCTOBER so i'm feeling pretty good about that

#glitch.txt #of course that was immediately undercut by having to call the health portal support #because the person i was speaking to input the wrong legal sex without checking with me. so i had to call and be like #hiii um actually i had my legal sex changed. if you could update my info to reflect that pleaseeeee.#three fields for sex/gender stuff btw. legal sex / SAAB / gender identity. took some trial and error to make sure everything lined up #but we got it done!#it's just um. funny? that my excitement at this win was immediately grounded by Hey so we're gonna misgender you rq to even this out lol

My alters: please use the symptom tracker

Me, who is very paranoid about mental health data being used against me and also cynical about the value of reducing one's mental state to numbers as one's primary mode of analysis, for Obvious Fucking Reasons: I think we should drop our phone off a building

#does not help that we have an aspd diagnosis #now I can no longer legally have certain jobs (not that I wanted those particular careers anyway)#fun stuff #being a shogo makishima fictive in this society sure is Something (derogatory)#it's not *as* bad but. come on #and now we've got therapists recommending we track our mental health online lmaooo #sounds like a great idea #it probably *is* useful to a certain extent but I'd rather look at the actual thoughts and feelings and the reasons for them #not stats about my mind neatly sorted into diagnoses and vulnerable to hacking or court subpoena (mostly the second one)#collectively we've been doing symptom tracking for a while. I've yet to see tangible benefit

"Trans people have been illegally taking hormones for decades and if HRT gets banned that's an option that will be available and many people will probably take" and "oh my god do not share detailed information about how you are actively illegally stockpiling a controlled substance on fucking Tumblr (or any social media frankly)" are two statements that can coexist

#im not morally against illegal drugs but stop acting like people are just overreacting and fear mongering #by discussing the very real legal (AND PHYSICAL HEALTH) risks that people are taking by doing illegal drugs #2pm in the morning #current events #trans stuff

oh yeah. this whole death thing is like. wild.

apparently one of my aunts died recently

#uh #family death #for tags i guess?#it's weird because while i did know her #i dont. feel bad #she was... not the greatest #it's unfortunate because that's a human being #but still #she was just not a good person #like. purposefully was terrible to people within her direct circle #and yeah sure you could argue her mental health and substance abuse problems #there was points where she had stability and still chose to abuse not only her partners but also her parents and even her small children #so like... :/#idk man #apparently she's already been cremated so #what can ya do #at least her parents no longer have to deal with her legally in regards to the kid they had to take from her #because of the mistreatment #is that tmi on family stuff? probably #but i aint close to em. she's dead. and i didnt say any names

another childhood bucket list item obtained: i finally have a snuggie

#and it's the real thing not even a knockoff #kinda surprised they still exist #but also not surprised bc Blanket. blanket is universal #i just remember a lot of those As Seen On Tv ads like. imploding within 5 years #they still do As Seen On Tv products like there are still boxes marked with that logo it almost feels wrong like an ancient relic #bc most like. ubiquitous 2000s brands from my childhood are just Gone or at least so fundamentally changed it's not the same thing #heard about like 50 more companies going bankrupt probably in the last year alone #anyway ive always wanted a snuggie it's one of those Always Wanted things that never go away #others include: staples easy button (obtained!); mini fridge (not); pillow pet (i had a knockoff once); power drill (not)#i spent a surprising amount of my childhood actually going out of my way to buy stuff i could use in my own apartment in the future #i grew up lower middle class and then just lower class #so like. i always Knew i couldn't just furnish the whole apartment at once i Knew I'd have to build stuff up over time #also bc when my sister got kicked out she had like. nothing. in her trailer. and i did not want to have nothing #i knew if dad was willing to just toss out my sister like that i would absolutely follow suit #and i did! two years younger than my sister when she was!#it just happened that my mom didn't want me homeless at FOURTEEN when i legally could not work for two more years #so she went with me and we lived with my grandma #so take that dad. turns out throwing family members out willy nilly makes the rest of your family not trust you or like you!#and now i get to rub it in his face that HE can't function in a house by himself and still needs to beg my mom to clean up after him #bc i spent so much of my childhood getting berated and called lazy for not doing chores #getting told stuff like 'you have to function by yourself your parents can't always pick up after you'#and then he's literally useless without his wife #he's not disabled and he's not neurodivergent he's never even had a serious health scare he just doesn't bother to learn how to clean #his excuse is that he doesn't know how to use the washer and dryer (it has been almost ten years fucker. learn)#or he doesn't know which cleaning products to use (you have google and a library card. LOOK IT UP)#he's the only person i get mad at for this behaviour bc he's a fucking hypocrite and a child abuser about it too #he is the exception to my rule of everyone needs to be given the space to get things done where they're able and deserve help when needed #and I'll bend over backwards to make excuses for other people so i DONT exclude them from my rule i will try to find every good reason first #he has no fucking excuse though he made two teenagers nearly homeless bc he thought we were too lazy and then he's even worse

See there’s “processing your emotions properly and taking time to ensure you’re mentally healthy” and there’s also “locking yourself in one room and drowning your emotions out with the loudest music possible until you can’t hear yourself think” and idk i really like one of these and the other one makes me want to throw up :/

#for legal reasons this is a joke take care of yourself and ur mental health #yadayada idk stuff i feel like shit i wanna blast music #nico mental health post #tw vent #sorta #eh

#im taking a break from most of the internet / social media #i Will still be on tumblr bc its the only positive space ive curated for myself however not as often probably #just for a lil bit #bc my mental health is abysmal rn and a lot of it is bc of irl factors #like my estranged aunt harassing me w anti-trans vitriol to the point of having to legally deal w her bc she wont stop #but then also. coming online to see 500 headlines about the entire world wanting me dead for being trans is...a lot #and being on other social media sites and constantly receiving more threats is the straw that breaks the camels back #i am going to remove myself from those spaces until i feel less Poisoned with anger and hurt and sadness #bc right now i legit cant stop having anxiety attacks and making myself literally sick with worry #and i rly just need it to stop #so taking a step back it is #like i said tumblr is still ok for me so i will be here on and off but prob not responding to stuff etc #ok thanks this has been a PSA #transphobia tw #ask to tag

#for some reason the system we use for health claims addresses me by my first and middle legal names but not my last name #and I don't know why it does this #It's on par with my bank emails saying my full name in ALL CAPS every time a new electronic statement is ready for annoyance #These past few weeks i've been able to go for a long ass time forgetting what my legal name is and then shit like this draws my attention #to it #kee speaks #sidenote: i never make personal posts on my main so complaining here~#there has been a slight influx of bot followers on my main and I'm Worried #it's only been like four but having just witnessed a friend get driven off their blog by massive amounts of bots I'm wary lol #it's been almost a year since i made a personal post on that blog and i don't comment on stuff so i don't know why #that blog would get targeted

I have to pick a topic for my health communication class— we’ll do at least one Essay on, and I think (?) generally use this topic for a few more Big Projects throughout the semester

#I’m lowkey leaning scs in that I feel it has the most Angles to discuss it? like.#addiction angle drug legalization angle prevention of syringe-spread illness angle etc #but rlly any health Topic would work and we just like. analyze it from a Social angle (including advocacy n stuff)

recalling life events got me fucked enough to be writing song lyrics again.

#journal scribbles #uh. vague dental cw?#this one is like. thinking of last summer when i could not go to the dentist and i was afraid that I had tooth decay. + some other things #rotting metaphorically [like bonds etc. not physical health stuff]#putting em together.#maybe I will iron out the melody n shit #gotta ask some musicians I know if they got a totally legal version of a mixing program

one week left

#i think i have to do it #i’ll be miserable my whole life if i dont #there’s bound to be a way to get like #srs and maybe ffs before im 18 #get it before uni #then go semi stealth in uni #i’m free from ritalin today so im clear of mind #i think #in my current mindful state #i maybe only need srs and maybe height reduction shit #depending on my final height #and maybe shoulders? idk i’ve been finding them fine lately and my hips getting wider will make them normaler #in terms of ffs it’s just brow lift and maybe jaw slimming and maybe chin reduction #again hrt should help with a lot of that #in terms of coming out the main thing is relating it too my mental health issues and explaining that diy is an option and i should take it #even if my parents aren’t accepting i still have some options in front of me #i can do the ‘suicide method’ where i threaten to kill myself unless i can diy #but that will probably get me pulled out of school and sent to an institution #but apparently it works for some ppl #i can always do it in secret too #the needles will be a hassle but im sure i could pay for it #i also need to figure out the legality of doing diy under 18 #and also how going to the doctors would be like #but ultimately that’s stuff i can figure out with my parents #if they are accepting #i could always come out to my sister first #bcs she would be accepting #i’ll ask how she came out and how it went for her #i think my ultimate transition goal should be to pass by the end of highschool #and be able to stealth in uni

i haven't really dedicated myself to singing since high school when i dropped out of state chorus but i am *this* close to getting back into it

#technically i did have to sing in the past few shows i was in #but i don't really count that for *reasons*#also this is absolutely because of my new legally blonde obsession and I want to be emmett #even though legally blonde is like very technically challenging #the thing is that i am not a naturally talented singer #so it took years of dedication and practice to get to a place i was proud of #since your voice is an instrument that requires practice to improve #but when i was in high school i went through a massive regression and theater was no longer at the forefront of my mind #i also do not really remember any of the technical stuff like how to read music so i am pretty much starting from scratch #i am really getting back into theater tho and i know it would also be great for my mental health #i always struggled with severe anxiety along with everything else but being on stage ironically never made me anxious #it was actually very comforting

idk where the other post is; but I suppose I'll make a new one for whatever this personal post is.

Been batting around the idea of "maybe I'm trans" quite a while; so much so that it's driving me nuts.....

Apparently I may not actually be trans; but instead just disillusioned and upset with the way women are still treated in society so to speak.

I thought that maybe it would be safer if i were male; that I'd be safer if I were male, that people would take me more seriously (especially if i got into fields of tech and the like) if I were male, that people would judge me less for what I wore, that men have more freedom than women do in society.l

My therapist helped me to come to the conclusion that I was just a girl who has been through a lot of stuff and doesn't see the world as safe.

especially since it still seems that it's a mans world anyway for the most part. male seems to still be default.

please take women more seriously, please make walking at night safer for women, please don't judge women for what they wear or think "they're asking for it wearing stuff like that" referring to revealing clothing..... Please don't be creepy...... Please don't assume that someone automatically wants you in "that" way just for being nice to you, or demand it of them when their answer was no....

I'm just a girl who's been through quite a bit; and I hoped that if i were thought of as a man that maybe I'd be safer and taken more seriously. but alas, no. It's obvious I'm female anyway...

I don't like being vulnerable but I am... I'm emotional, I'm small at a whopping 150 cm.... I'm blind legally speaking, and I hate it...... I feel it makes me more vulnerable than I need to be..... or want to be....

Hopefully I'll get to a point where I'm content and happy being female... Some day.....

I'm not a misandrist or someone who hate men.... I just don't like what men can do to women and get away with scot free for the most part. cause in some cases if there isn't any evidence for something like SA, it's the mans word over hers and the man is more than likely going to be the one that's believed. Or in cases of the hard R word; if those kits take a year or more to go over, and he knows there's a case open about the hard R word, he can harass and stalk the victim until she drops the case out of fear, leaving no repercussions to his actions.

So, no I don't hate men, I'm just upset that they can do more to women, and do actually do more to women that's negative than the other way around. Not saying that it doesn't happen in reverse; because it probably does. But more often than not, it's the man doing the things to the woman and (usually) getting away with it...

I wanted to be seen as male to hopefully get a piece of that power that I thought men had/have in society, that women don't. To be taken more seriously, to feel safer and less vulnerable.....

Maybe there isn't disparity between men and women still, but then maybe there is... I believe it's still there however.... despite how far society has come...

although I might be totally wrong; that's how i feel about things and about my "trans" journey so far. Maybe I'm not actually transgender, but just don't want to be female because I feel it's not safe and people won't take me seriously if I were...

Lest the small disabled woman know more than a man..... >_<

Cw for military and government stuff, raising voice and yelling. ⛓️

Im so tired of the same people hurting me and mine again and again. I dont care about your opinions on war. The country made a promise and we deserve care

#this uhh hits harder than it should…#I wasn’t the host when we were still in the military (thank fuck tbh)#but boy did a bunch of us get fucked up by it #got a fuck ton of new head mates during that time #and just generally worse #physical health took a big dip around then too #and it was all ignored by military doctors #just don’t join the military no matter how desperate you get #we were on the verge of homelessness and in an abusive household #freshly out of high school #I won’t say I would change what happened #bc some good did come out of it #but the fucking cost was high #idk i’m rambling #hope we can actually get some va compensation bc we haven’t got shit yet #also thank fuck we were only in for a short amount of time #but long enough to still legally be a vet #it’s a goddamn nightmare. the military preys on you when you’re at your lowest point #anyway I think I’m gonna go and watch something else to take my mind off of this #cw military stuff #cw yelling #(I think. I mainly just read the subtitles.)#putting all this out there in case someone sees it and decides to not join or change their stance or whatever #I’m not the biggest fan of giving out all of this info about us but if it can do some good #then ill give it.#double checked with two of the old hosts from that time #and it’s ok for me to share #⛓️

Guess who’s back after being self-grounded from the internet to focus on other things!
