I can make inquires w my physiotherapist tomorrow! Knee has been wobbly for quite some time but yesterday scared the shit out of me.

I do have some exercises (that I do my best to do every other day tho past week has been trying time-wise), but I? Think they are strengthening my hip more than my knee? It’s such a bizarre spot bc knees shouldn’t move R-L, so I’m not sure how to strengthen muscles that shouldn’t be As necessary

OH KT TAPE I’d forgotten that stuff existed

I’ll grab some in the next couple days! I thankfully already have a couple of knee braces, but i needed something more targeted to the exact spot. Tysm!

I know a lot of ppl w eds, but they don’t drive (sometimes due to the eds) (but I cannot avoid driving) (ironically due to the eds) (and my right knee being slowly borked by repeat strain is starting to make my back worse bc my pelvis is anchored more firmly left)

Actually @ any beloved oomfs or strangers w connective tissue or loose knee issues: if any of you HAVE to drive regularly (partially for drs due to floppy joints), how does one/could one mitigate the tendon/ligament stretching that occurs from swapping from brake to accelerator?

Yeah this ^

The map is fine. The issue is that so many ppl who do FL are just there for daily rouls and run around to collect points instead of doing the P in the game mode

Hi! As y'all know, I am currently working on a black FFXIV modding compendium. As of right now, the spreadsheet is aiming to contain links to Dawntrail compatible mods hosted on XMA and/or Heliosphere (only these two) that meet at least one of the following criteria: - Mods that are very directly made with black characters in mind (EX: black hair mods, sculpts with black features, etc.), - Mods that are directly shown to work on darker skin tones through proper previewing (EX: body mods previewed on darker skin tones, makeups previewed on darker skin tones, etc.), - Mods that promote more racial diversity ingame that could possibly help black players feel more seen and properly represented. (EX: NPC overhaul mods, etc.), - Guides and resources to promote further creation of inclusive mods (EX: Devkits, Guides, Resource Bundles, etc.), However! Unlike my transmasculine compendium, I am unable to curate mods for this based off my own personal lived experience. I am white, and I really do not feel right putting out resource on an assumption that I am fulfilling the needs of my black peers. I want to confidently know that I have done everything I can to make sure this resource accurately represents the wants and needs of the wonderful black players in this community. With that in mind, I am looking to reach out to my black friends, followers, mutuals, and broader members of the community for assistance! I want to hear your feedback on the sheet while it's in an early access stage. This means telling me what's good about it, how it can be improved, and also (potentially, if you're willing) helping me find and locate mods to add onto the growing list!

Here is a vague TLDR of the questions I'll likely ask: - Do you see any mods that aren’t listed on here, but are on you feel should be on here? Any mods that shouldn’t be included? - Are there any additional categories you suggest? Should a current category be split? Removed? - In your opinion, what makes a mod preview a good mod preview that helps black players in deciding whether or not to download a mod? What about mod descriptions? - For skin diffuse mods, what would you consider to be an ideal preview image? How should modders properly display a variety of skin tones? - In your opinion, what should players avoid doing when it comes to creating, naming, and describing black mods? Aaaand a TLDR of questions relating to credit & compensation: - Would you be comfortable with being publicly credited as a main contributor? (This would be listed publicly on the sheet, but remaining anonymous is 100% okay.), - Would you be comfortable with providing me with your Kofi so I can direct people to tip you to show appreciation for the sheet? (Same as above, saying no and remaining anonymous is 100% okay.), - Are you comfortable with me tipping you in thanks for your time and patience with helping me work on this sheet? (I'm insisting upon doing this since IMO this does classify as emotional labor, but if it really would make you uncomfortable then I 100% won't push!), These questions will be asked to multiple people, so my aim is to get a solid group of opinions and adjust, tweak, modify, and improve things from there! If you are interested in helping out, please comment below! I'll reach out to you via DM to discuss further!

hi! i have been chipping away at making a black modding compendium, similar to my transmasc one. (images below have the non-tldr)

TLDR: im looking for black modders/creators who would be willing to offer feedback on what i currently have + this is a task i want to pay you for taking the time to do!

Most months are like this I am like a looney tunes character

My knee is honestly just wobbly so I strain the tendon pretty often ): it’s from having to do so much driving the past year or so. Twisting my foot back and forth has made the joint really unstable but I’m also nooooot really sure what to do abt it?????

Wrapped the day up by subluxating my knee . Cranky about this. Wish my right knee would remember that it’s a hinge joint and not a ball and socket

An absolutely marvelous and energized Valentines sketch comm from @hafrun.bsky.social !!! The way Pearl drew Eztli is so... perfect... her sharpness her princeness her soulsness... I love this comm so incredibly much, TOO much to wait to post it any longer!!

I READ THE PANEL AND ALMOST ALL THE VALUES HE DIDNT CHECK ARE ABNORMAL OR ON THE BORDER OF ABNORMAL??? bro

Okay wait maybe nvm dr only checked one of the ten hormones they tested to make sure it wasn’t affecting ability to have children (something I do not want or care about), so ig I have to make Even More Appointments ™ rahrahrah

Going to a million drs and not having much physical improvement and having all of them go “well. Things aren’t working Right. I will take this spaghetti and throw it at a wall” is like that post abt revving up your motorcycle and being dead on the pavement as the smoke clears

Dr Says “NOT CONCERNING,” so yippee! Dr also says “I don’t think think is what’s causing the migraines and everything else,” so <sad foghorn noise>

ITS PEAK SHTOLA
Honestly given that she Died and Came Back, it’s kind of dubious if she does age at all now, and I kind of like the weirdness that can come w that if chars have mortal relatives so 😌

Being happy all the time would be fucking exhausting because of how intense an emotion it is to feel long-term (at least imo)

Yeah! When I was severely depressed, being Not Depressed seemed horribly unobtainable bc I thought a normal baseline was like. How I felt when I was out with friends or at a con. Normal baseline is actually a much more subdued secret third thing

Like I have anxiety still 100% but don’t have depressive disorder anymore, so idk if I count as “brain healthy”

But I also don’t think being happy all the time is normal? And I think part of what makes depression so hard to recover from is that ppl use “happy” when they mean “content/calm”

Idk if most brain healthy ppl are happy most of the time so much as content? Like I had depression for the entire time I was in public school, + it’s like having a hollow baseline vs having an okay baseline

Penance for the sin of not caring for what was Yours etc. etc.
Humans becoming blood and rust paralleling how Mars was once full of life but is now desolate and red. Fucked around and found out.

Anyway, I ascribe to the “we were pulled into an alternate dimension. Earth and the other planets are where they always were, looking for us.”
It’s giving “destroyed Earth. Fled to Mars. Destroyed Mars. Scientists decided to attempt to flee to an alternate dimension altogether.”

Like that adds a lot of context to her sharply going, “no!” whenever Simon is insisting he was sent down there to die. On account of the fact that she did make it back up. Much 2 ponder.

1) soooo chuffed at the soft reveal that the Monster was the captain of the CM8, who was transformed by consumption of the blood. Yippee! 2) I like that it’s either heavily implied or directly stated through the tapes that Eva was on the CM8 and managed to survive. I hope they kissed!

It’s 3am and I should be asleep but instead I’m like <thinks about Iron Lung plot> “sooo glad about Eva Ironlung doomed lesbianism” (this is at least partially me being quirked up but hear me out) #zyaps

There is an evil and intimidating horse behind my eyes !
