    Shameless self-plug: The "music" I've been making over the last few months. It varies from noise wall to drone noise. I created a new track less than a week ago and I like to go back and review the previous things I've done. It's all free on bandcamp if anyone's interested.

    Other than that I'm still on an Emperor kick. For more background/dark ambient I can never get enough Lustmord - that's been on rotation and he's always a big inspiration for my creativity.

    I also have a general issue with most cheese. Mozzarella on pizza is a rule braker, though.

    Eggs. Unless they're baked into a pastry or something similar, they're an absolute no for me. Every aspect is beyond foul.

    Lunch: Yogurt & granola
    Dinner: Chicken breast thawed in the Instant Pot sauteed with frozen vegetables, sometimes with rice

    I've also been drastically bringing down my coffee consumption since it's been bothering my stomach a little for the first time ever. It could also be a combination with my meds, who knows? Also, with these improvements with my eating habits I've lost a few pounds which is nice.

    As someone who only just fully opened up to gayness a couple of months ago this is all very validating and good to hear. I've never felt "man enough" and now care even less because I've never felt more comfortable with myself. Big gay hugs too all of you.

    I'm constantly in a similar boat with reading in general. I really enjoyed the Eathsea trilogy by Ursula LeGuin.

    Emperor is one of those classic black metal bands that never really quite grabbed me. Well, after 25+ years (jeez) In The Nightside Eclipse finally clicked. I've listened to it and the rest of their full albums a bit. I know IX Equilibrium isn't their most popular one but it's also been hitting pretty hard.

    Not having SD card slots IMO is a way to force people into cloud storage, streaming, etc. That's how my cynical brain reads it.

    I've resisted streaming for as long as it's been a thing. My digital music collection has been curated over the last 25+ years. I will never trust that one day the obscure stuff I prefer wouldn't be available on a streaming platform. Especially when it comes to music I'm staunchly for digital autonomy.
    I recently had to get a new android phone, so I choose one of the few I could find with an SD card slot. I sync my collection between my phone and my computer. I also have a raid backup on a raspberry pi.

    There's a huge thread on Graphene's forum about the RCS debacle. Mint is my carrier and I, along with a handful of others, was having ongoing issues with it running correctly. I recently dropped my Pixel and killed the screen, so I had to get a new phone. Being back on stock Android in a way is kinda nice because RCS just works now.

    Unsurprisingly the main barrier I've found in seeking a diagnosis is the cost.

    Instead of the absolutely ridiculous charge for the mushrooms they should dose a bunch of ICE agents so they can hopefully have an eye opening experience leading them to get a real job.

    Krisiun has been on rotation this last week, mainly the Conquerors of Armageddon and Southern Storm albums. I've been in the mood for relentless blastbeats paired with tasteful shredding.

    Thank you. It actually means a good amount. I've been lucky in that all the friends I've told have been nothing but supportive and happy for me.
