Creativity In Hard Times No, I’m actually not referring to that global pandemic thing. I don’t wish to erase anyone’s experience (undoubtedly challenging experiences at that), but I want to talk about hard times at a smaller scale. I have chronic pain for mostly unidentified reasons. I know when and where I hurt myself, […]

Rehabilitation Theory Is Bullshit
From a personal Facebook post in 2019 when I had hurt my shoulder at work. Publishing because I think it’s the sort of thing that needs to be shared. I feel pooped from this long weekend. Got a weird amount of stuff done between not doing anything. But not as tired as I […]
Urine The Right Place For Advice
Oh wow. I think I’ve found a whole new way of getting ideas to give sarcastic advice. I found… (Sadly the original posts have been removed, but there is copy/pasted text below.) No. Posted by Detox, AntiVax and Woo Insanity on Tuesday, 20 February 2018 Post reads: So I decided to put a […]
August Creative Contemplations
August Creative Contemplations I feel like I start every month in review with things that were hard. Anxiety kicked my butt for parts of August as I got to be “reviewed” at my day job over my physical needs. It has always been a negative experience that is poorly managed and going through it makes […]
Incidental Exercise
Lets talk about “incidental exercise” for a moment. Seen as good by most, because we’re all terrible horrible people for being sedentary. Although structures such as jobs requiring it, schools endorsing it is some kind of individual fault? Anyway, system vs individual isn’t the direct point of this post. This post is how […]
Fun Activities Catalogue
A while ago, I used my EAP (employee assistance plan, euphemism for psychological support) to talk to a psychologist. My physio in particular had been encouraging me to reach out as even though I bounce back from the gazillion fucking setbacks I’ve had, that’s still a lot to deal with. I’ve never really found psychology […]
Please Actually Give Me Healthcare
There has been a common thread in my life. It’s that people don’t want to give me healthcare. I had my tonsils out in 2017. That was after about a decade of recurring infections. And lots of “but we don’t like to do this in adults”. It had turned into pretty much a permanent […]
Too Tired To Know
It probably seems weird to outsiders, but you can be too tired to know. One day, endless (four) consecutive courses into antibiotics, I was wondering why I was so hungry in the middle of the morning. I had eaten breakfast. I had even eaten more than I usually would for breakfast! Sure, I […]
Attention Spans and Grief
I don’t think people know I was quieter while dealing with grief last year. I was probably tweeting just as much but not interacting as much. So on the surface, it didn’t look different. But it was different. I was often too tired to bother sharing my opinion or giving words of support – or […]
No Life
When you wake up early from pain, there’s no life. You can’t do errands, nothing is open. The others in your house are asleep. Even real time video games are asleep and playing drowsy music, functionality turned off until a later time. When you wake up early from pain, it’s no life.
