Unsolicited cancer advice is annoying (and usually involves dodgy supplements) but this tip is nutrition-based so I’m throwing it out to the universe in case it can help someone else. When my weight became a critical issue I was prescribed supplemental nutrition drinks. I couldn’t stand them

The TIL that number three is a common goal. It’s been on my goal list since day one! Also, being told to eat more when you have no appetite and food tastes like literal mulch…This list is so accurate. Hang in there peeps, it’s better than the alternative.

Things I’ve learned (so far) about having cancer, an evolving list: 1. More people can rock a bald head than think they can 2. Being told to eat more when you have no appetite/no sense of taste is some fucking cruel irony 3. “I have to outlive that shitstain in the WH“ is a surprisingly common goal

So much fun recording my first podcast in over a year! (I’d say it was like riding a bike but I had to ask @legopolis.bsky.social how to actually *record* the thing. Cancer Brain is real, yo). Anyway, if you like silly games and a silly villain check it out. www.theincomparable.com/gameshow/261/

Extortion Isn't Measured in Hearts (Game Show 261)

In this installment of the 1955 edition of Careers, one player is a slick politician, one player is a business tycoon, and one player…gets hit by a karma.

On indefinite leave from work as I prepare for Significant Surgery. Finally combing through my “low stress, low risk” media list. First up “All Creatures Great and Small”. So charming! Anne of Green Gables is next in the queue. (Did I mention low stress?). Have any low stress media recs? LMK!

To any fellow knitters/fibercraft folk - have you ever had a project that was just too infused with sadness to finish? I had a yarn that was bought during a not-great holiday, started knitting as stress relief during a Bad Time, set aside then picked up again a week before the election. 1/2

This has been a year of serious health issues but I swear - fall allergies (which I’ve NEVER had) as a result of the drought have laid me out. The coughing is the worst and I’m incredibly cranky. The climate change gloom is real.

Deb Stanish@debstanish.bsky.social · 2y ago

Serious question- where are we going to for accurate, unbiased news these days? (I know, I’m laughing at that sentence too). My faith has been shaken but I want to be informed without being blatantly rage-baited.

Deb Stanish@debstanish.bsky.social · 2y ago

I am being FELLED by allergies this week. I’m going curl up on the couch with a cup of tea and check out this Doctor Odyssey thing. (Posting about dumb TV = contributing to the Bluesky Vibe, right?)

And I don't tell anyone else how to navigate social media, but with the torrent of refugees arriving from Twitter, I me personally myself am preparing to block the shit out of people who aim to replicate its forever war experience here.

I find that brawling is so severely frowned on here that I’m never (well, hardly ever) inspired to participate in it, and it not only makes being here much more congenial than the other place but might actually be improving my general mental state. Go figure.

Deb Stanish@debstanish.bsky.social · 2y ago

And that’s it. I’m not going to add to doomscroll fodder here. We all know what things are horrific and likely to get worse (if you’re celebrating this win a) why are you here? and b) fuck all the way off). I care, deeply, about my friends and family and will work, boots on the ground, to help. 1/2

“It Can’t Happen Here” by Sinclair Lewis. Published 1935. Add it to “The Handmaid’s Tale” dystopian fascist starter pack. Read this in high school as curious, antique relic. *laughs in naivety*

Love hearing Amanda-Rae Prescott interview costume designer Ray Holman. So glad she asked him about the role he has in helping along the next generation of costume designers, loved his answer too. #gally1
