I'm gonna make a zine. I don't know shit about zines or zine culture, but fuck it. Let's pass notes like it's 1999 and we're bored in class. There are no rules anymore.

The other two humans in the house seem fine, but I'm immunocompromised.

Seven out of eight of our cats are sick with some kind of upper respiratory crud. Our vet says a lot of other closed-system cat households are also experiencing serious respiratory illness. No raw food involved. I also came down with bronchitis about the same time as the cats. What's going on?

I'm dreaming of raccoons again. This time they were the focus of my dreams rather than background players. *WHAT DOES IT MEAN?*

Four coaster-sized squares of white fabric with dark blue stitching in sashiko patterns, displayed on top of a gray long haired cat.

A large square of white fabric with a sashiko design template printed in blue. There is blue stitching along the outer edge and a wide section of horizontal stitching in the middle. Displayed on a gray long haired cat.

Currently making life worth living: learning sashiko. It's so satisfyingly fiddly, I LOVE IT

I had dreams last night about minor inconveniences, but the only part I vividly remember made me classify it as a nightmare. I WAS WEARING A BRA THE ENTIRE TIME. *shudder*

30,000 died in fiscal 2023 waiting for disability decisions from Social Security SSA Commissioner Martin O’Malley sat down with Nextgov/FCW recently to talk through the agency’s biggest challenges, including how it delivers disability assistance.

“We will survive him” 30,000 disabled people died waiting for their SSDI/SSI cases to be processed in 2023 after massive SSA cuts in 2017-2021

Biden’s SSA appointee couldn’t catch up fixes

Could someone with a screen reader tell me if that hashtag is readable in that format? Is there a different format I should use for accessibility?

Now THATS what I call a bone broth! #fuck-yeah-turkey-soup

Resilience is a curse

I'm drowning in despair and my only pool floaty is Civ 6.

A fluffy gray cat with a white blaze and chest, pink nose, and gold eyes, nesting on top of a wicker pedestal. Cat toys are strewn about the hardwood floor and a cat tree is visible to the left. There is a wooden jaguar sculpture on the floor in the background.

Biscuit found a new throne.

I'm just gonna play a little Civ 6 in between chores, as a treat.

I made some progress on my potential exit plan today. Appointments have been made.

I have now had three (3) anxiety dreams that included raccoons as brief moments of "awww" to distract from chaos. Last night there were baby raccoons and a mama. What does it mean??
