unformed thought to come back to

[flamingsword]

I want to do a thing, but I don't know what I want. Ugh.

If I can take the spirit of the Snowflake challenge into the rest of the year and keep reaching out to fans and building those network connections, it should be worthwhile? I know I should keep up a higher level of reaching out than I do most of the year, so I need to devise some kind of, perhaps weekly, Fandom Thing to do. Or see if there's already an ongoing fandom journal prompt comm or something to follow? I don't know. I have all these feels and nowhere to put them.

Maybe I will comment on two journals a week that I find via tag-browsing. As long as I don't put pressure on myself to friend and follow anyone I don't have rapport with, I should feel not forced to do anything and it will work out, theoretically?

In other news, cramps are so dumb. Just, mindless beastly things. Why, body. Why.

Yeah cramps suck. Try having your deal rightafter Covid. Hint: don't recommend.

Coughing + period + cramps = horrible. Like, I wear a menstrual cup now and I can cough all I need to, but once I had my period with pneumonia and wearing pads, and it was like there was a lake of blood in my underwear.

Ugh. Bodies are gross. We should never have taken corporeal form.

I don't know what sort of thing you want to do, but weekly fannish sorts of posts are fun! They help keep momentum going, at least that's been my experience.
My unsolicited advice it to remember to be kind with yourself if you miss a week or it fizzles out - it's a goal, not an obligation. (This advice is also for myself, btw)

[flamingsword]

That’s good advice. It is a good goal, and I’m gonna go through and look at fandom comms today and see if anyone is doing a thing I want to try.

CRAMPS FUCKING SUCK SAURON'S ASS and you have all my sympathy/empathy.

I have no idea how the fuck to interact with people, like literally no one wants to friend me on the Snowflake friending meme, I'm sure I give off those bull in a china shop vibes, so I salute you for trying, you are much braver than I.

Whereas I found you, iirc, browsing the autism tag for other journals worth following. Your people may be fewer and farther between, but we exist.
