That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities.

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

"we are living through unprecedented times". bro these times have so much precedent. these are some of the most precedented times of all time.

in an insanely busy hospital department, after triage taking two hours alone. canula in on only the second go (agony, but given my veins, that's better than the seven attempts of last time) and bloods done, but i think, if i need a ct scan, it is gonna be a long freaking night. 😞

a painting of a woman lying in bed, under the covers. she is pale and limp and looks like she is dying.

this year is a cosmic joke. my 20 year chronic condition has flared up in a way it never has. so i have to go to hospital tomorrow to check for pancreatitis. but, my housemate has surgery in one week, and i need to be out before then, with no clue if i'll be kept in. so everything is just peachy(!)

you might be right, it's just... it feels SO different to my depression. i've had depression on/off for 20+ years, and always still cried, and loved things, despite it. never that sense of true anhedonia. i just feel like someone has kidnapped my personality. at the gp this week, so will ask. ❤️

i have told my doctor twice now that i feel like one of those women you see on the news that goes missing, out of nowhere, and is just found to have walked into the sea. that's the only way i can describe this. like i would walk out of here in my pyjamas, and just go into the water. it scares me.

i wish someone had talked to me about perimenopause. i don't know if what i'm feeling is that, or what i should do. i have felt nothing since august. i don't know where laura has gone. i used to love things so hard. now, nothing. it is acutely distressing. has my personality only ever been hormones?

I stopped everything I was doing, watched this, bark laughed at NOTHANKYOU, felt my SOUL refilling with light and joy at the stellar writing, stopped my writer friend in the middle of her 300k piece of work, made HER watch it, and we marvelled together at how GREAT the writing is. Just, perfection.

My favorite Lestat comments are, “I’ve never watched the show but every clip I see, the blonde one is always screaming” 😂😂😂 #TheVampireLestat

NO NOTES. PERFECTION. CRANKY LESTAT IS MY FAVOURITE. DESIRE TO LIVE REACTIVATED. BRING ME MY S3 NOW. 🥹

this coinciding with twin peaks day is cosmically correct

It's a national holiday

four years ago, figure skating looked like a sport where the way to win was by driving literal children to the point of mental breakdown

with Alysa Liu's win, it looks like a sport where the way to win is giving your talented skaters agency, the freedom to be themselves, and letting them find joy

there has simply never been a bigger difference in vibes than the backstage images of the 2022 figure skating gold medalist after realizing she had won, vs. the post-skate images of the 2026 figure skating gold medalist after realizing she had won

Alysa Liu's routine was one of the most joyful things I've ever seen. Donna Summer's version of MacArthur Park is one of my favourite songs; it's emotive and wild and fun, and everything that routine was. She seemed so at ease, like a girl just dancing in her bedroom to music. #WinterOlympics

my cat is doing no better, and it's breaking my heart. i don't understand how ONE tablet could make him feel this awful. he just won't move, hasn't eaten or drank in 24 hours. i have zero energy (because chronic pain) to take him to the vets again, but i'm going to have to, and i'm so worried.

god, it's 3:30am, i've had barely any sleep for 24 hours, and my cat is being really weird again. i don't know if it's side effects from his new medication, and he feels off, but he's absolutely not himself, hiding from me, and just floppy and listless. i hate this. i hate not knowing what to do.

the vet finally called back, and my cat only has early stage heart problems. now that he's medicated, and because we've caught it so early, she says there's no reason he can't live a full life. relieved, but still feeling hyper vigilant and stressed. glad we caught it, but augh, my poor boy. 🥺

have my cat home from the vet. he does have a heart murmur, and now has to be on medication for the rest of his life. waiting for the vet to call back, to tell me what this means for him, but i just feel so fucking sad. i hope we caught it early, and it's not going to shorten his life. 😢

i feel like this is somehow my fault, as i too have been in hospital, on a table, with a tube about to go in somewhere it shouldn't, having been given maximum sedation allowed for a human, and going 'umm. when do i start the pliant and not gonna remember anything part? he truly is my son.

my cat, the evening before going to the vet, and having experienced sedating medication: i am a sleepy pudding and i will be unconscious for three hours

my cat, after the same medication this morning, when he NEEDS to be calm: I WILL FIGHT THE ARMIES OF MORDOR LET ME OUT OF THE CAT FLAP OR DIE

😮‍💨

my poor cat has to go for a heart scan tomorrow morning, and needs to be given gabapetin tonight, and again in the morning. it's kicked in, and he has wobbled all over the kitchen, had to be carried upstairs, and is sitting staring at the back of a chair. my poor baby. 🥺 don't do drugs, kids!

wow. that #iwtv auction was legitimately insane. like??? i have a friend who was willing to help me get something, as an early birthday gift, and put a very decent amount behind my bid. but lots going for 4-5k?? without the fees?? genuinely madness. are people just getting into credit card debt, or?

damn, the iwtv auction is going to price me out. i knew it was a long shot to get anything, but the bids on hero lots have gone crazy! the coffin was only €360 a few hours ago! it has to be someone local buying it, given the freight cost. i just hope real fans are the ones winning, not resellers. 🤞🏻

At the GYNAE department this afternoon, for an appointment, on today of all days. I will be adopting my usual approach to get the care I need.

I am such a fan of the way these two skate (no shade to Ilya; massive talent, it's just a preference thing) so seeing them both on the podium made me so happy! 🎊

Not gonna survive S3, am I? It's giving Velvet Goldmine all over again, and I barely survived that the first time round. Goddamn, Sam.

me: i could go to hospital this weekend and actually fight for what i need to help fix my hormonally-damaged mental health if i wasn't so exhausted to do the fighting

also me: OR i could buy louis de pointe du lac's actual coffin from #iwtv and see if that helps
