Frustrating. They changed my shift from 8am to 5am at the last minute. Spent the whole week sleep-deprived and sluggish, had to miss things I really wanted to do because every day after work I've basically struggled to do chores then struggled to get to bed on time. Also where I do so much walking on the job, I finally rubbed through the thighs in my last decent pair of pants, and couldn't find a single new pair that fit me.
Psychiatrist changed the app she uses for video calls, to one that doesn't work. Every device I tried it on just gave me a white page with a permission error. So no psychiatrist appointment, no adderall refill. That's going to be fun.
My cat is starting to get restless with our daily walks. They've tripled in length and she'll never come in on her own anymore, I have to carry her, hissing and growling, back to the apartment. The whole time we're outside she's just mad that I won't let her climb the neighbor's fence. Even though she doesn't enjoy it, she spends all night howling if we don't do it. I love her a lot but I'm getting tired.
Anything tied to a movie or TV show is probably obvious, but I immediately thought of The Power of Love from the old Sailor Moon dub. I remember swinging on the swingset singing it with my bestie while our moms held a yard sale.
I like to follow a couple reporters directly as opposed to subscribing to the local paper and wading through the fluff pieces, so that means using Bluesky.
Back when I was still an artist for my super niche internet garbage, that meant using Tumblr, then after the Tumblr purge, Twitter. Then after Musk, cohost, then after cohost... I mean, I was done with art but I'd probably be on Bluesky for that too.
Met cool people at a queer event last Saturday. Tried to keep in touch but I had a panic attack when I went to message one of them and it put me off trying again for several days. Couldn't sleep for a few days so that made it worse. Finally managed to text the one I really wanted to talk to but I guess I took too long because they never replied. I don't feel like I can ever be around people.
I guess I'm still recovering from leaving my old friend group. Not bad people, but neurodivergent in a way I'm too socially incompetent for. Yesterday I flubbed my words and accidentally expressed the wrong sentiment, and I immediately felt the panic wash over me, because last time I did that, I caused a friend to have a nervous breakdown and start like... rewriting his childhood memories to match what I accidentally said, since it contradicted his lived experience.
Friendship is so high stakes, I always feel like if I say the wrong thing I'm going to ruin someone's life. I hate being lonely but I don't know how people can stand it.
Oh nvm, I wasn't aware they'd done that. The article only talks about the outage.
ETA did anyone see this message, or have a screenshot of it? I can't find a single article about it. I don't mean the screenshot of the Operation Dreadnought website that's attached to this post.
This was my philosophy, then I realized I prefer crossword puzzles and sudoku on my phone because I can do it one-handed so I can pet my cat at the same time.
I also tried watching shows on my TV instead of my phone but it's harder to block ads.
I'm actually against AI art since creative professions are already lacking in labor rights, and it's going to get worse now that they're trying to make artists replaceable.
But one of the worst things about it, to me, is that it's caused artists to start going to bat for IP laws. IP law is the reason you don't get to finish that story you spent years on, because HBO deleted it in a tax write-off. You don't even get to talk about what it might have been like, because you're under NDA.
Now people want it to be illegal to be influenced by copyrighted things. Great.
No. They don't just paste the contents of the book into the subtitles, they transcribe the dialogue and sfx just like they do for original shows. It would be pretty crappy if a deaf/HoH person wanted to experience a movie like normal but the accessibility features were repurposed for speed reading.
I think it was unkind, but I also get why he lost his temper. Looking back I wasn't being rational, was doing relationship OCD stuff and being really frantic about it, too. He could've said the exact right thing and it wouldn't have helped. Been working on it, but I backslid hard.
Gonna try not to take his words to heart but they did feel pretty bad for a little while.

At least it's a beautiful day.
