@b76e3f0a Thanks Frotz, I know you’re a veteran in this area… really appreciate the help. 💜
My diet has been almost entirely liquid for a week, my bloodwork is all wonky… but I can’t get in for a follow up for a few weeks since I’m brand new to my doctor.
Hopefully some answers/more tests to come…

Any creative ideas for bland nutritious foods? I need some help diversifying my diet right now with what I’ve got going on health wise… blended soups, soft foods, bland anything is appreciated 💜 many thanks.
@09ad13ec this made me laugh… because I get that vibe, too… and was hoping it wasn’t the truth.
I cannot always finish a book, even if I have a deep and invested interest in it. So, I was curious about these services.
Audiobooks help but I zone out and get bored or need to multi task to take in the info.
Brains. 😆
I still don’t miss the ocean yet…
Maybe it’s because I was spoiled living out west for 15 years and it just became another regular part of my life?
I dunno - but I’m very happy we made the change for a number of reasons. 🤗
Fellow #ADHD, #Autistic and #Disability folks, what are your thought on book summery apps like Blinkist and Headway?
I’m torn between feeling that it could be a good accessibility tool - but also notice a bit of ableist and allistic language in the advertising that puts me on guard.
Is it just me?
@d246d7b3 Kiri! What a cutie! 😍🤩
I do have that one on my wishlist. Hoping some of the cozy titles go on sale with the fall steam sale. Fingers crossed! Glad to know you enjoyed it :)
@920f92b8 the first 5 seconds of that video is LOLOL…
You definitely know they expected backlash when the CEO sold tons of stock weeks prior to announcing the changes. The whole thing is just… whyyyyyyy.
@b99e1048 I have this one high on my wishlist for many of the reasons you described. Paper Mario brings me so much joy and turn based games are quickly becoming a ‘brain fog friendly’ gameplay style for me because I can play at my own pace. 💜💜💜
I simply cannot wait to try it out, hoping it’ll go on sale for Steam’s fall sale 🤗
Thank youuuu as always. ((hugs))
TW: #medical discussion
I had more medical tests and bloodwork done yesterday and things are (shocker) still abnormal.
I’ve been struggling with all that comes with #LongCovid since last summer. Yet I’m not much closer to understand when or if I’ll ever get better. I’m in a flare up.
In 3 days I’ve gone from “I think I’ll be ok, this won’t last long?” to mostly bed bound —- again. Whiplash, over and over.
Send pet photos or game recommendations pls. 💜

@c53fdcfd@802c5450 Penny is the hero we need!
Even after leaving BC, I still care about this stuff because so many of my friends still live there.
I agree, zero reason to not have transparency. To me, it makes the govt look weak and afraid. They need to be forthright and earn peoples trust back.
@c53fdcfd the only good that comes from secrecy like this is suppression. (And by good I mean not the good kind of good for citizens, lol)
It’s super not cool and very frustrating.
Subaru life is the best life. I was converted 13 years ago and I don’t think I’ll ever not have one.
Affordable. Safe. Tough. Great visibility. Great seating position. Great turn radius. Towing capabilities. What’s not to love? 💜
@d779236d awesome list - I recently got Death and Taxes, hoping to get the classic Papers, Please one day too. Similar games I think?
I’ll check out the other two.
I’ve been loving playing indie games lately…
Anything that sparks my interest I’ve given it at least an hour of my time…
What are some of your lesser known fav indie games?
@661586a0 thanks! I’m playing a little bit here and there…
Finally doing a play through of The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante. Followed by some BG3, Civ VI, For the People, Afterparty… a huge mix of things :)
@d246d7b3 💜 thanks for your solidarity. I feel like the private company that is providing my LTD from work is just … bad. This is likely their policy and they will do it until they’re told by a lawyer not to do it — which most patients will never afford due to stressed income.
Sending you love and light in your journey.
@a6af4378
Thank you. 💜 I’m to the point of wanting to contact my case managers boss… ask why this is required.
I got an email *again* this morning asking for a phone call update because we’ve been emailing back and forth since the move… even though the rep has all the info they need and I always reply within 48 hours to any questions. I quite literally updated him 2 weeks ago…
I’m sick of it. I may try AISH because it’s likely better than this harassment.
Rant:
My long term disability rep contacts me every 3 weeks. It’s been 3.5 years, bud, I’m *still* not magically cured. Back off. Let me breathe.
It’s so annoying, and frankly distressing, how disabled people are given payments to live on (well below the poverty line) and then followed like a hawk. Imho, it’s unethical. If the federal government has deemed me fully disabled - pay me and leave me the heck alone.
These people cause me immense stress.

TW: abuse, harassmen
Edit: I had to check my sent mail folder and in fact, this latest request to ‘talk on the phone’ is 7 days after my last *very* detailed medical update which he emailed back and said was fine.
Seven days.
Seven days?!!
I cannot handle this anymore. It’s like living with an abuser. I’ve been there, done that, got the t-shirt, no thank you…
@3db9c5d4 hahaha! This made me laugh OUT LOUD for real.
You might have legit heard me… 😆😆
Side note: YEG is really pretty right now and I’m excited to watch the trees change :)
@38dc949a thanks Mel! I’ve only heard great things about it but I’ve hesitated to jump in because, well, as I’m sure you know… it’s A LOT. 😆
I’ll hit you up if I’m in a Twitch watching mood, I lean more towards quick YouTube videos lately. 💜
