Ugh... I've been so overwhelmed with paperwork, and I feel like I'm drowning in it... how do people manage to do all this and NOT go insane? I need a mental day for myself, maybe a few, but I'm still pressed for time.

So uh... that happened. I went to the Doctor's Appointment today, and he's now fully convinced that I'm Autistic. He already had suspicions the first day we met, they were already on file; but I guess my discussions with him today fully confirmed it. That uh... explains a lot actually.

So here's what's going on. I'm printing out as much paperwork as I can, documenting my compound medical conditions, ER visit where I lost consciousness, and any other bits and pieces I can provide, and I'll be heading to the Center for Community Resources hopefully Monday.

I'm still looking for shelter, but I did learn that I was immediately approved for SNAP-EBT benefits. Right now it's only temporary, but they saw my medical record and recommend I take a document to my doctor to waive the working requirement.

I'm trying my best to look for help in my local area, starting with potentially housing assistance. At this point, I don't mind public housing, or a shelter. The main thing is, I need a roof over my head, and a place where I can safely use my bipap machine.

So I'm officially in a CRISIS. My roommates are no longer able to house me due to financial reasons [one of them takes life saving medication that costs 500+ monthly, on top of rising rent]. I have 1 month to find a place in Western PA, or I'm forced to return to Texas. [I don't wanna go back.]

Well, somehow I'm actually SAFE from Discord's Age Gate.

Whoof, Phototoxicity is no fun... I went out the other day to pick up something from the grocery store. Those very few minutes out in the sun was enough to burn me, been itching like hell and not even a back-scratcher nor aloe vera can help it. I guess with the meds I really am a vampire...

Doing some research about Aniimo before considering playing, the game itself doesn't seem to be AI Generated and the team as responded that they don't use it. There was a history that one advertisement was, but they apologized and withdrew it.

Is it just me or am I like one of the few people that enjoys the Synthesized versions of Dragon Quest music more than the actual Orchestrated versions? While the two are similar, I feel like the Synthesized version just fits better since it's a Video Game World after all.

You know, for someone born and raised in Texas for like, 30+ years, I'm like the most Un-texan Texan there ever was. It really could not pin how I speak, ultimately giving up and pointing me to Vermont with other states between 51% and 49%.

I've had my first night on the BiPAP machine... first thing that comes to mind... "Where did my brain go?" In all seriousness, I used to wake up with a really bad migraine and brain fog due to low OSat% in my sleep. Today it's like, the pain wasn't there, I feel... fine? Is this... normal?

Whoo! After this bizarre month of medical fumbles and an ER trip, I'm finally getting the BiPAP machine I so desperately need. I can't wait to get acclimated to it, finally rest, and finally have my body actually heal again.

Ah there we go, finally got the okay and migrated my main account to Northsky. My Twitch handle will remain on Bluesky for now until such a time there's a more twitch friendly PDS.

I ended up at the ER again... Whoops... I'll explain more later.

Well that didn't take long.

Twitch and Amazon are being sued in a class action over claims that the tech companies harvest creators' video streams without permission or compensation to train Amazon's generative AI program. Story: www.courthousenews.com/online-strea...

Twitch now uses your channel to train generative AI by default. You can opt out of some training here: www.twitch.tv/settings/sec...

So uh... The majority of my health problems are linked to the fact that I suffocate in my sleep, and I suffocate because my airway collapses. The CPAP machine won't cure my HS BUT it should make healing from the wounds faster. That's a lot to break down and it circles around that device.

You know what Rowling largely ruined for me? The use of magic wands as an every day commodity. Don't get me wrong, magic wands have been around WELL before that, but they used to be an archetype, either used by a specific individual, a fabled weapon, or an item in DND/Pathfinder/Games and whatnot.

Welp, the sleep study has concluded, apparently my results were so bad that I'm guaranteed a CPAP machine. On the bright side, hopefully once it arrives, that'll mean far more restful sleep.

So health update. I got bloodwork and a sleep study this week. This is gonna be weird.

I finally managed to see my new doctor in what felt like over a decade... HOOH Boy there's alot of things to unpack, I need some Bloodwork Done, and I need to go into an In-Lab Sleep Study, but, for once, it feels like things are being threaded back together.

I've been thinking about the times I've visitied Pittsburgh and got to use one of those KultureCity bags. Yes I'm neurodivergent, and yes, loud places make my brain so full of static that not only am I overwhelmed, but I mentally shut down.

I'm currently debating joining a Furry Matrix/Element server if there's any out there. I tried a few in the past but either the server died, or my credentials were lost in some way.

Well... Unfortunately I won't be going to Anthrocon this year. The logistics of it wasn't possible, and I kinda got left behind.

Leave it to Donald to lose a war that he illegally instigated.

I've been watching some old Japanese video game commercials and uh... huh... this is giving me some ideas, involving the Louie/Rui. Not to mention, The Louies are adorable to begin with so.

Yeah... Furality is over, the Ultravox Prism Servers are offline but. Don't forget, in real life, dedicated fans were able to archive, reverse engineer, and bring back in part what would've been lost to time, whether it's things like the satellaview, the Sega Channel or even old mmos (unofficially)

🐦 The Division 2: PART 3 with Friends - Let's just hope the MIB don't get involved. Actually, New York gets destroyed a lot doesn't it? Anyway back on track, the pack is back for more shooting, looting, and saving the City... or what's left of it anyway. Catch ya there! www.twitch.tv/sikataraeda
