Yep. Fun fact, most of the time when I'm not "acting like myself" it's probably because I'm dealing with something acute on top of my regularly scheduled chronic illness. This year I've been radio silent mostly due to a combo of Covid and bronchitis.
Please don’t ask a chronically ill person if they’re “better yet”
We’re not getting better. That’s the nature of chronic illness
We adapt. We become better at coping. We become skilled at hiding our pain
Accepting the loss of one’s health is hard. We put in the work. We need you to accept it too

NJ Devils update: I started playing a drinking game where I had to sip every time ESPN said we couldn't win without Jack Hughes. People, I might die. I'm out of wine. #stanleycup

I'm not saying this Devils game is going poorly but I'm tempted to redo the grout in my bathroom instead. And I just ran out of wine. #stanleycup #fail #ouchquitit

Please call your elected officials. Do not let them steal votes from women. If you do not have a passport it may be a good idea to get one.

I've been rather quiet on the socials, mostly because the world is too big and too loud right now and I hurt, physically, a lot. I'm into like next month's spoons at this point. If there is something I can or should be doing for you, feel free to scream in my direction.

Day whatever the hell this is of covid recovery (37?) Left the house yesterday. (Yay) For work. (Boo) Still coughing, tired AF and short of breath on mild exertion. Mask up. Don't get this shit.

People with disabilities are frequently not considered fully in disaster planning. Or anything else.
Disabled folks affected by the fires in LA, here is a resource.
The rest of y'all, maybe consider this for your list of orgs to fund. I have donated in the past and will again when able.

💔 The tragic loss of Anthony Mitchell, a wheelchair user and his son Justin, who had CP and no mobility aid, during the LA wildfires highlights deadly gaps in disaster planning for Disabled.

There are many things I like about Bsky but the heart reaction option sometimes feels gross. I swear I do not love fires, plagues and predators. Wedding? Heart! Kitty? ❤️!!! Divorce? heart? Long covid? heart??? Spontaneous combustion? Also 💜!!!

Yep. This has been me since 1996. And it's a Punky Brewster joke.
You can always tell us internet olds because our answer to "explain your username"
Is ALWAYS some variation of "forum/gaming tag that stuck"

Explain your username:
You might think that I picked Nova because I'm an Astronomer and SPACE stuff, but it's actually a shortening of an old username I used across web forums for over a decade.

Today makes day 21 of Covid for me. Definitely still symptomatic. But covid is only five days, they said. Covid is over, they said. Mask up. I was vaxxed in November to be ready for the holidays and in terms of severity, to be blunt, that vaccine didn't do shit other than keep me from dying.

I am really impressed by how much pie related content is on here. I do not want clear pie though. But I may just go ahead and buy one because cooking 15 pounds of turkey should be enough domestic work for anyone. And two pounds of stuffing.
"As women, we were never taught that work we’d do around the house would be invisible.
And so, either poetically or out of spite (perhaps both) I have made a clear pumpkin pie."

I don't know how time suddenly became basically December and I accidentally on purpose over scheduled myself again for the next month. I predict I'm gonna die of exhaustion after the third Glen Phillips show but before the Elks holiday party. There will be cheese.
