I've been identifying as bi for many years. But lately I've been considering maybe possibly being asexual.
Not sure how I feel about that.

I just finished listening to all of Mission to Zyxx. It's an improv podcast. And it made me want to look for Farscape again even though the podcast was more of a Star trek/ Star wars comedy thing.

I have two bluesky accounts for different things. And on one account all I have are art people. So I just get a lot of art and creative stuff. Whenever someone gets too political, I unfollow them. Because I just wanted a feed about art. It's working pretty well so far.
My other account is a little harder to curate. I just wanted science related things or sci fi related things. And a lot of the accounts get very political in the middle of their posts about science or sci fi art.
I guess that's the nature of sci fi or science.
I'm in the middle of curating this account because it's relatively new. I've been unfollowing a LOT of people.

I've been doing IFS in therapy. So when I meditated, I tried to observe the feeling in my body and figure out what I might get from it. But it just kept running to different parts of my body. So I don't know what the fear is yet! But I'm trying to listen.
You hang in there too! Thank you for being kind to me and I hope you're as kind to yourself.
Have you ever managed to get past it to get into a relationship?

I met a person recently and went on a date.
I have issues with romantic relationships because I can't get far enough before my brain and body reacts badly. So I've never been in a proper relationship.
I'm a lot better now, but I constantly have this feeling of fear deep in my chest and it's getting worse as the the days go on. I don't know how to handle it.
I've got headaches now. I tried meditating for an hour and it helped a little bit.
I don't know what to do.

I've got chronic pain issues so I've just been tasked with walking a lot for now.
It's only doable because I work from home!

She wakes me up at 7am.
I bring her out for a walk.
Feed her. Brush my teeth. Clean cat stuff.
Then I leave to exercise.
Return and shower.
MeditateBegin work.
Lunch
Play with the cat
MeditateContinue work
In the evening I feed my cat dinner
Exercise.
Return and shower.
Do the night routine of throwing the trash and stuff.
Sleep.The routine always starts with the cat. The hardest part is starting it. But once I start going, it's easier to do the next step. Since the cat will demand I get up and feed her or play with her, I built my routine around the cat.
That has helped a lot.

I've only ever played it once a long while back with my friends and we've never done it again. Adult life making people busy and all that.
I didn't understand the game much then, but with what I know now, I really want to give it a go again.
Luckily, I found a local group that meets up every week to play and I aim to join them once I'm free!

Because "What tool did you use?" has been a very common question for decades whenever you show someone your art. Bevause they think if they use the same tool, their art will be better.
I would tell them the tool, and then tell them it doesn't matter. Your art foundation matters more.
Sorry if that's off from what you're asking.
But if the context they asked it was about Ai. I would tell them no. I drew it myself. I also think that the burden of proof shouldn't be on the artists NOT using Ai. AI artists should watermark their work as Ai. As it's a far newer tool and there's significantly more ways to create art in many mediums that isn't AI.
Unless you want to go down the traditional art style of labelling. Like created with Acrylic on Canvas. You could also just leave a description saying created in whatever software you use rather than a watermark.
I know the software isn't important, but if you think of it as a traditional painting, you're just writing what your medium was. Very normal. Very established way of labelling your art.

Turning them into numbers and saying it's okay because way more die in factory farms doesn't reduce the suffering those three are going to go through. Especially when it's unnecessary suffering.
The art installation is not okay. The suffering going on in factory farming is also not okay. Fighting suffering with more suffering leads to nowhere.
Sure it's in the news and people are talking about it. But I can't see this changing the minds of anyone who is adamant about eating meat.
People already know suffering is going on. There is a lot of suffering going on in the world among humans and animals. And many people pick and choose what they care about and ignore the rest.
Is picking and choosing what to care about and what to ignore okay? I don't know. That's a whole other conversation.
There are much better ways to attempt change and awareness without having to cause extra suffering.

I guess since I got diagnosed late in life, I've been feeling like the diagnosis was a mistake or something and have terrible imposter syndrome.
So I'm hoping meeting other people in life might help in some way? Although I have a feeling they're all going to be significantly younger than me.

But, I do have friends about my age and some older or younger that share their location permanently with their spouse. So that they know where each other are. Not that they don't trust or that they're sticky or anything. They say it's practical, because they can check where their wife is and if they're close by, they start making dinner. That sort of thing.
I still don't really get it. But some, not a lot, of people around me do it.

I think 10 years ago, I was the main caregiver of a sick and dying parent. I was angry, confused, panicked and so many things.
But while experiencing all that, I was doing a lot of random work and trying to figure out what I liked and spent a lot of time networking and being in the scene and building a career.
The stress was so high. I often didn't see myself living beyond my parent's death. Like the only thing keeping me alive was obligation.
At least I think that was 10 years ago.
But since then I've experienced and learned a lot more about myself. I had a good life with a decent career. Went to therapy and also went to see a psychiatrist and got meds.
And then I got sick myself and that was hard. But I've learned a lot more about myself since then. Got multiple diagnoses and understand whats going with my body and brain.
I'm trying to rebuild life. But it's hard.

I'm not the most technically inclined. Could I just use windows 10 without the support? I currently do not have the finances to buy a new set up.
