Hey hi hello there, pals! I'm Amanda. I make dice for ttrpgs. It's basically my full-time job now. You can buy them over at cinniharpyscrafts.etsy.com.

I also make other crafty things, including customizing furbys and dolls! I'll post about collecting too.

Please follow for updates on all that!

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

💔 Saw a horrible video of a bird mill (think puppy mill), stayed up late and just criiiied.

I could share the footage and let shock do the talking, or you could just trust me on this and choose/share the message of adoption only. 🪶

Bird rescues are overwhelmed.
No demand, means no bird mills.

My last name is so fucking French lmao
February 10, 2026 at 6:11 AM
I posted not too long ago about it. My great grandmother, who I actually got to meet, could only speak French. I used to have a little blue suitcase that I was told came with her from Canada when she was a little girl.
February 10, 2026 at 6:08 AM
Wait WHAT. My dad's side of the family were among those french-canadians that fled. I will be looking into this.
I'm not saying that Canada is perfect, I'm saying that the bar is pretty low right now.

Oh yeah for sure! I still get randomly tired for no reason, but it's so much better right now than when I was trying to work a 9-5. I sure am broke though lmao

I don't want it to be this difficult to find work and survive under capitalism I assure you.
February 9, 2026 at 7:56 PM
And I often wonder if people judge me for not working a regular job or for being very particular about the type of jobs I apply for. And it's like I promise you I tried to do a regular job at an office and it made me wanna die. I tried.
February 9, 2026 at 7:56 PM
All of this to say that there are many times where I feel like narcolepsy is ruining my whole life lmao
February 9, 2026 at 7:52 PM
When I did have a regular job and had to go into an office I was pretty much going insane on the amount of caffeine and stimulants it took to function. And I still fell asleep at my desk.
February 9, 2026 at 7:51 PM
I do have meds, but unfortunately the only ones available for treating narcolepsy are stimulants. And because of my narcolepsy meds I'm now also on heart meds lmaooooooo
February 9, 2026 at 7:49 PM
Remember when the sleep doc was like, "We recommend that people with narcolepsy take two 45 min naps each day."

Like, sir, we live under capitalism. We don't even let cashiers sit.
February 9, 2026 at 7:48 PM
Lol I feel like a toddler. I DON'T WANNA NAP
February 9, 2026 at 7:44 PM
Right now I am straight up mad that I am tired lmao. There's no reason for me to be tired. I may have said this before, but maybe that's one of the differences between having narcolepsy and not. I very, very often am pissed that I am sleepy.

But hey, any newly out trans girls in the area who are around my size that go to the center are gonna want for nothing haha.

But I have been humbled by the way the car is loaded.
February 6, 2026 at 7:27 PM
her and be like, "You may not need girl clothes after this. 😬"

Today I will be slightly embarrassed as we drive a car load of clothes in a small range of sizes along with clothing racks and hangers over to the center.

A lot of it was stuff I barely wore. Some still had tags!
February 6, 2026 at 7:27 PM
recently opened a center here for helping LGBT people. I asked if they were looking for clothing donations because I may have "some."

And luckily she was like yep! They were considering opening a trans clothing closet.

Well... after spending all of yesterday going through stuff, I had to message
February 6, 2026 at 7:27 PM
Yesterday we tackled the bedroom and my, well, mountain of clothes.

Listen. I gained weight, lost weight, gained weight, and sometimes had to get new clothes. I also often could not resist the call of cheap clothes on ThredUp.

Anyway, before we started this I messaged a friend of mine who
February 6, 2026 at 7:27 PM
So like. Our house is a wreck. Between all the things going on in the last six or so months, not the least of which includes Mango getting sick and taking in 5 troubled rescue rats that needed a lot of attention... we got overwhelmed.

Now Ray and I are like slowly clawing back organization lol.
