Links 7, and some talk of depression
Sep. 1st, 2023 02:09 pmOkay folks: I have failed my saving throw vs depressive episode, bc nothing was working consistently to make me sleep properly. It happens. I will be largely hermitting and working on projects that soothe my brain for the next few/several weeks. My episodes haven’t lasted longer than 3-4 weeks in the last few years, so 🤞 that that trend continues. I am available for check-ins, but there’s that thing I do where I don’t trust myself around people and tend to isolate when I’m irritable, spoonless, and less able to take precautions.
To that end I have been making things (have pics) and will be noodling around finding and doing neat stuff on the web (with thanks to
numb3r_5ev3n). If you are new here or have new special interests, let me know what you like right now, so I can report back if I find cool stuff that is in your wheelhouse.
In other news, Cat Valente wrote an article about why in the current anti-LGBTQ backlash we need corporations at Pride. I don't like it, but she has a point. Bitter pill to swallow, I know. To soothe the sting, here is a bunch of for-free trans media on the internet and a chance to watch Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away, which will be back in theaters close to Halloween.
In the last bit of news, I have discovered a name for the slice-of-life Japanese storytelling that I love so much: Iyashikei. I will be trying to watch more movies and shows in this genre while I am moping about letting my brain recover.
Y'all take care and don't set the internet on fire while I'm recuperating.
