In case you need a break from the awfulness, here's an embroidered jellyfish I finished last night--my latest project to avoid doomscrolling before bed.

Don't get a fucking chronic illness. You'll probably lose all sense of human interaction. Nobody gives a shit about you once you're sick. Harsh reality I'm learning right now.

You could also just post the link to all the local bookstores you are “partnered” with:

libro.fm/indies

For a company that “helps bookstores market” you sound preeeetty cagey sometimes ~
Choose your bookstore
Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks through your local bookstore. Search by bookstore name, city, or postal code to find the bookstore you’d like to support.

The sun is the best antidepressant. I remember when, like today, it's the first sunny and slightly warm day since winter started. My brain is literally so excited. Oh yeah, THIS is what it feels to NOT be depressed. It's like my brain is standing up and stretching! Hello sun. 🌞

Loving reminder that when you read posts from me or anyone w/ #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis:

We're among those #pwME (persons w/ M.E.) who have the strength to post.

People w/ #SevereME mostly exist in dark rooms, unable to move or to tolerate light or sound.

It's a hellish existence.

We need help

If your day has been difficult, or if you’re feeling anxious, here’s some Cornish medicine to ease your heart. It might not change things much but hopefully a moment of calm will help in a small way. May your evening be peaceful, my friends. 😊

So Help Me Todd was a really good TV show that didn't have intense scenes of sex or murder in it. I also genuinely laughed out loud during most episodes. And of course they cancel it. But now I can't even watch it anymore on Paramount+? LAME! I miss good entertainment.

You can buy any book you are looking for on the internet. But we need physical, independent bookshops because that is where you discover the books you were not looking for, and never knew you needed.

Telehealth isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. For many of my patients with Long COVID and disabilities, in-person visits are exhausting, inaccessible, or simply not feasible. Removing telehealth coverage means denying care to those who need it most. We must protect access to virtual care.

Mee too. I feel as if I should have way more skills than I do now. I regret not honing in on my skills when I was in my early 20s. I should have made it a priority.
Ill be super honest, I feel like im failing as an artist
