  • Aaaaaa. I started Estradiol Valerate injections Wednesday and I’m every emotion at once. My first time giving myself a dose went better than anticipated, being terrified of needles and such. Scared for the future, if I can financially maintain the cost of the medication and if the fascist state government here leaves medicare coverage for my needs alone. I’m also debating whether or not to give up writing for some time. I’m not very productive due to depression and brain fog. Idk.

    Hope everyone gets through the week safe and sound.



  • I had to deal with insurance BS for my bipolar medication and was off of them for three days. Wasn’t so great but I’m medicated again, thankfully. Waiting for when me and my gf can move in together; certain financial issues are holding us back but its nice getting to spend time with her on the weekends.



  • I can’t pick only one. I’m going to go with (1) The Insider (1999) because I’m a stickler for whistleblower/legal dramas, plus I really like Al Pacino in the 90s (minus the godfather movie we don’t talk about,) and (2) 24-Hour Party People (2002) because of its humorous and stylistic portrayal of one of my favorite musical artists and one of music television’s most eccentric figures.

    I’ll watch more or less anything within reason, except for musicals.


  • I hand write and type in pretty equal tandem. Writing poetry oftentimes, I feel better about drafting things on scratch paper (or at least brainstorming) before seeing how it appears in type/print. Other times, I might be at my laptop with an idea that comes to mind that’s easier to type out in my text editor first. I find my own dynamic very fluid and I imagine it’s mostly the same for others. I think it could really depend on the work being done. And I don’t think pretty handwriting is always necessary. If you can read it, it should be enough.
