Hello my darlings and degenerates 😘
You can call me Alex! I was born in ‘93 and my pronouns are they/ it as I am very queer (genderfluid nonbinary) 💛🤍💜🖤
I am a disabled pagan artist living in Ohio 🎨
My inbox is always open for questions, constructive criticism, and friends 🌻

In case anyone was curious, I am, in fact, still the favorite jester of a higher being…because my laptop crapped out 🙃
If you feel so inclined, please buy something from my shop 🥲

Alex is holding a rosary. The main beads are made of rhodonite, the secondary are of black tourmaline. The crucifix and Mary are in silver to match the chain and other hardware.

Degenerative disk disease that has progressed so far, my only options are shots or surgery.

Fuck.

I know things are tight for everyone, but Cashapp and Venmo are both thesaltcircle for those who are so inclined to help 🥲

Shout out to my sister who helps me keep going 🖤 it’s a cold, heavy pain day today so I’m folding laundry until my other Amazon package arrives with more crafting supplies 🙌🏻

Degenerative disk disease is apparently the name of the game now
…I truly hope one day after all this is over, I can meet the higher power that enjoys using me as their personal jester

Back to back CT and MRI today ✌🏻 They went well and it’s been a long time wait for the latter 🫠

Lmao jokes on me-
I just get my MRI scheduled and now I need an unrelated CT scan too 🥲
If this body could just ✨stop breaking down✨ it would be greatly appreciated 🥰

Part of being chronically ill is watching yourself get worse in slow motion and it fucking ✨sucks✨ when you can’t do anything about it 🥲
Least my MRI finally got scheduled- here’s to hoping it doesn’t get cancelled 🤞🏻

Why are emotions so hard?
I don’t know what’s trauma and what’s genetically fucked up in my brain 🥲
So I guess tonight I’m gonna get 🍃🍃 and make pretty jewelery for my shop

A written list of various gemstones. There are columns to keep track of how many pieces have been made and check marks when a full set has been completed.

I don’t even know what’s going on anymore. I’m in chronic pain, this country is hell, and the world is on fucking fire. I, like the majority of folks, need money and an escape route. Sadly I have neither.

I hate having more bad pain days than good 🥲
Currently playing phone tag with my doctor to see if I’m gonna go to PT, the ER, or have an appt with her this afternoon

Celebrated another year of being with my best friend over the weekend 🥰
We’ve been together since we were 13 and we’re 32 now- birthdays are six days apart 🖤

I hate this so much- this body, this life, this existence.
Everything hurts.
Everything is tiring.
Being a disabled queer in America is absolute ass right now.

It’s been less than 30 hours since I had to say goodbye to my battle buddy of ten years and it’s still not entirely sunk in yet. His urn has been ordered and I should have his ashes some time next week.

Baby steps are still steps. It’s taken my mom 10+ years, but she’s finally coming around to my chosen name 🖤

A dainty, silver bracelet around a pale wrist. In the middle of the chain, the name “Alex” is printed in a cursive-like font.

Found a new cannabis concoction that’s helping with my pain >immensely< so I’ve been hyper-focused on crafting for tomorrow’s show 🥰

Now that it’s warming up again, I’m more motivated to craft 🥰
These are some of the pieces I got done over the weekend when my partner and I went to our RV 🖤
