thank you so much to my anonymous gifter for these wonderful @bibiblossoms.bsky.social items! the compression gloves fit perfectly, and with my current pairs starting to get loose the timing couldn't be better.

took a picture of myself that I actually liked today, so here's my face.

it's funny how even though there are quite a few things in my life to be proud of and find joy in right now, the thing that has buoyed my spirits the most is making this shawl as a gift for my niece.

I might not be the aunt you see every week, but hopefully I can still be meaningful.

finally finished the second front panel of my cardigan I started making months ago. now on the back panel, reminding myself that I can create things and that is good.

for the past few months I've been writing little notes of hope to myself and storing them in a jar. I'm still feeling rough emotionally today, so I chose now to open them. I don't know if it's helped, but I do know that I feel sad. for not ever feeling like I'm enough; for always doubting myself.

it takes so so many spoons to bleach/dye/cut my hair, but it's one of the things that makes me feel most like myself.

medication has changed my body so much, but I can still control this <3

finally, after eight years of streaming, I have custom emotes! thank you so, so much to my wonderful e-child @clockworkbanana.bsky.social for these. they are a bright light in my life and you should all go commission her immediately.

you can get this emote and more by subbing on twitch! <3

...the worst thing about this is that I've never played Morrowind. But it was my first purchase?!

let's get some masked selfie quote posts on Kelly's, disabled folks and our allies <3

Charter (wheelchair) and I are hiding from the sun whilst waiting for an appointment!

I find it very hard to treat myself to anything, but I spoiled myself this month by buying one of the new Life Series desk mats. and it is SO gorgeous. super well made, the art is gorgeous, and it's a great size even for my larger desk. I teared up when I saw it; these people give me so much joy.

streams for the coming week!

I'm on campus on Weds grabbing some books from the library and going to the doctor, so one less stream. hope you all have a good start to your week. one little bit at a time, remember <3

intended schedule for the coming week <3 subject to change as ever based on the whims of my disabilities.
July 20, 2025 at 9:51 PM
this week's schedule is a bit different both as we move towards the new schedule and due to some medical appointments I have - so I'll see you all on Thursday when we'll be co-working! <3
July 7, 2025 at 3:00 PM
follow up from yesterday's stream - it took me a few more matches but I got there!

(my highest previous rank is expert 2 so I'm close again <3)

stream schedule for the coming week! I've got a whole bunch of reading to do for our co-working, and we've got a whole new planet to explore in Outlaws.

follow at www.twitch.tv/melodioustear to join us for gentle co-working sessions and terrible gameplay <3

hello from - and it doesn't feel real to say this - the university library.

nearly four months ago, I was confined to my flat when a DWP decision on my PIP caused me to lose my previous chair. I struggle a lot being out, but to have it taken was horrible. today I finally have my freedom again.
June 27, 2025 at 9:36 AM
an extremely sparse stream schedule this week as I'm at the Critical Neurodiversity Studies conference this week, as well as my research center's Queer Medical Humanities event. whew!
June 22, 2025 at 4:14 AM
slightly different schedule this week as a) I'm back to working on my PhD, starting reading for my new chapter, and b) we're fundraising on Saturday!

please come say hi & drop a follow on twitch if you can <3
