Pain woke me up around 5 and then decided to be too much to let me go back to sleep. So I am up. Hopefully the variety of painkillers I have will knock it down so I can’t either return to bed or nap later. Annoying.

I have both disordered eating and brainstuff acting up at once which means i am sort of subsiding on spicy ramen w/ egg, white boy tacos, raw carrots, & various fruit. It’s not ideal, but you know, I’m proud of myself for recognizing any food is better than NO food, which is a step forward!

Ok, brain. Remember: migraines are a whole-ass neurological event, AND you're on the wrong dose of ADHD meds for a couple days. You are GOING to have focus issues and probably mood issues. Don't expect too much from yourself if you can. And keep an eye on how you're feeling. We can do this.

Took an emotional inventory on my drive home. Recognized I’ve been what amounts to an edge-of-panic-attack state for almost three weeks, plus neither eating nor sleeping well. All of that amplifies the legitimately bad shit happening, & pushes me to heightened emotional response.

....should I get into making press-on nail sets? It would be to sell, long nails don't work for me sensation-wise. But it looks like a lot of fun, and a great small-space craft. I probably do enough. But more crafts?

One of the coolest things about people who don't have a lot of power taking a principled stand is it lays bare the complete cowardice of the ones who actually *do* have power when they fail to do even a fraction as much.

Unlike Macklemore, these support acts don’t have big followings and they are giving up their chance to perform to stadiums to push back against censorship, not of themselves but of a fellow artist. Respect.

Today was a pretty productive day, though not in the ways I wanted it to be. My hope was to do some writing, but I'm existing in a state of low-grade headache and it was hard to get moving. BUT I got some graphics projects done, and a big chunk of day job work. So go me!

hey why is no one talking about the licensing situation with this A24/SCP thing? are they releasing it under the same cc-by-sa license every SCP project is required to have? are they betting creative commons won't hold up in court? seems like the kind of question a journalist should look into idk

The Very Prudent Decisions of Hortlakçı Süleyman Hoca Q&A There was interest expressed in a show Q&A & Gem & Lou are game, so I put together a form. If you've got questions, submit them here! We'll see what we get, & maybe make a little audio ep or social media post(s) zfrmz.com/CAGmiYNiVJD9...

The Very Prudent Decisions logo-- a white background with gold edging, covered in tulips done in the style of iznik pottery. In the center, the words The Very Prudent Decisions of Hortlakçı Süleyman Hoca are printed in script.

I’m finally reading The Magicians books, and hearing about how magic works and is performed, I think that Thomas Nightingale would probably do pretty well with it. Adult him, not young him. Peter /might/ do well. Or he might explode himself trying to science how something works.

I'm writing Dakota Gold 3 & dip in & out of a sort of semi-covert slang dialect. Which is fun as hell except for the fact that that means I have to create a semi-covert slang dialect which, as it turns out, is more difficult for me than creating an actual conlang. But I think I'm making progress!
