A ThinkPad with a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro is having display distortions suggestive of a graphics card error, and can actually boot into Windows only 1 time in 5. Finally get booted in; I disable OneDrive; laptop can now consistently boot into Windows. (I realize that the "1 time in 5" was the one wherein the laptop was unplugged from the network cable. OneDrive was doing something.)

Still getting display issues, and I can't get into the boot menu or BIOS during startup because the keyboard doesn't respond until after Windows itself has booted. Display resolution within Windows is incorrect and cannot be changed; touchpad buttons don't work so I have to use a USB mouse; seems like a driver problem. I spend a couple hours reinstalling ThinkPad drivers and rebooting over and over. Display errors eventually resolve, but not keyboard: still can't access BIOS or boot menu on normal startup. To get access to BIOS, have to boot all the way into Windows and then do an "advanced startup." (Despite claims to the contrary on many Windows help sites, I find that it is not possible to disable "Fast Boot" within Windows 10 Pro itself: it has to be done via BIOS.)

I boot into a Mint LiveUSB and overwrite Windows. Keyboard, touchpad, and display immediately work perfectly. Hadn't realized the keyboard even had backlighting.

okay so I've been getting "pernicious anemia" and "paradoxical/functional deficiency" mixed up at least some of the time. and the latter CAN be caused by the former but isn't automatically. pernicious anemia is like its own autoimmune condition & I don't think it's what's going on w me.

My dr definitely thinks I have a paradoxical deficiency and/or a functional deficiency (sorry I'm not smart enough to understand the subtle difference rn) because of how low my serum levels are despite taking SO MUCH b12 via oral supplements, but my CBC looks fine so I think it's not pernicious anemia which thank goodness.

I think I need to send that paper on B12/B2 in ME/CFS to my dr because it looks like a functional B2 deficiency may be part of this whole mess and I wanna make sure there's nothing there that needs to be dealt with.

I might also check to see if my insurance has started covering SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth) breath testing yet bc it keeps coming up, it's something my old gastro in california wanted me to check (couldn't, insurance wouldn't cover and it's like $150) due to certain symptoms and it's also common in people w ME. It can cause B12 absorption issues bc the bacteria just. eats it. before you can absorb it lmao

I'm glad to have the injections but if this is due to some underlying thing I wanna make sure 1) any other necessary treatment (b2 shots?) happens and 2) I want it in my chart to test my levels regularly and put me back on shots every time my b12 depletes because I think the oral supplements are doing very little or I wouldn't keep having this issue every few years where I get symptoms so bad they check the levels and then discover AGAIN that i need the injections.

b12 is something you can store a lot of, your body can store like 3-5years' worth at a time and not have issues until it runs out, so I'm hoping I'll only have to do a course of shots about that often even if this is just like. A permanent issue. I don't mind doing the shots but them needing to be refrigerated is kind of annoying bc it's hard for me to get to the pharmacy so I use a mail order pharmacy for all but like, 3 of my prescriptions that are too rare/fussy for them

i wish actual drs would ever do this kind of research for me, I miss dr zhu so bad cuz she would actually read the journal articles and explain shit to me!

despite having a very complex medical condition that can impact SO MANY systems, there are almost no specialists for that condition and any other doctor will just refuse to check if whatever issue is in the literature for that condition. like they won't even look to see if it's part of M.E. and like maybe there's guidance on how to deal w X thing in M.E. (the bateman horne center for example has guidance on so many things! like not just what to check but what to try!) but my drs wouldn't know bc they won't look! so what is even the point of all that research if only patients ever look at it. I want expert advice like this is your job!!

like if it turns out I have a b2 deficiency of any kind, that's not something that would get caught without me looking shit up, and that's a serious problem. I have worsening cognitive symptoms (that's what started this whole round of labs that found multiple vitamin deficiencies) and it shouldn't be on my dumb ass to figure out what would take like 10 seconds for someone who has an actual medical degree to check!

cw: heavy angst

Prince!Gojo who spent his entire childhood sneaking down into the dungeon of his castle to hang out with you, a prisoner unfairly sentenced to life simply for being the child of someone who attempted to assassinate the king.

As the years passed, you and Gojo grew up, side by side, separated by the bars of your cell. He'd often sneak you food, beautiful white flowers, and read you a few chapters of a novel so you would have a bit of entertainment. He'd often tell you stories about the outside world as well with the promise of showing it to you one day.

Gojo also promised that — the very second he officially became king — he'd undo the unjust sentence his father had given you, and set you free.

He could hardly sleep the night before his big day, so excited over the mere idea of finally getting a chance to hold you.

It was rather unfortunate that, just before midnight, his father performed his very last act as king before passing on the mantle: having you executed.

Gojo awakened that morning to a crown on his head and a decapitated corpse by his side. Your lifeless hands were clenching the dead, white flowers he had given you.

*gives Tim all of my mental and physical illnesses because it's midnight and I'm bored*

The second one is lowkey nsfw by the by.

-

Tim, eating breakfast with the family when all of a sudden his ribs decide to feel like they're folding in on themselves:

Tim: Damn, I really gotta kms

Bruce, not looking up from his morning paper: Your therapist said not to say that.

Tim: Damn, I really gotta... eat.... cookies?

Bruce: *Approving hmm*

Dick: Someone in this family goes to therapy?

-

Tim's body deciding to simultaneously cramp and set itself on fire mid getting his back blown out:

Tim, reaching behind him: Shit, stop, pull out...

Bernard: OhmyGod, sorry, are you okay?

Tim: I'll live, just let me...

Tim: *lies face down on a pillow.*

Tim: Roll me over if I run out of oxygen.

Bernard: Okay :(

Bernard: I'm sorry :(

Tim: I'm okay, Bear, promise. Could you just like, grab painkillers and stuff?

Bernard: And heating pad, and snacks?

Tim: Yes. I love you

-

Tim, staring at the suspiciously ballerina-shaped figure that keeps whispering to him and changing:

Tim: Yo, chat, you seeing this?

Damian, glancing in his direction: Hm. No.

Tim, who just needed confirmation he was hallucinating: Cool, thanks.

-

Tim, still sitting at the batcomputer after 6 uninterrupted hours: Man, I'm hungry...

Jason: Eat then.

Tim: Nah, I'm good, I haven't earned it yet.

Jason: Fym earned it? If you're hungry, go eat.

Tim: No, it's cool, I haven't even gotten the shakes yet.

Jason: THE SHAKES?? GO EAT!

Tim: No, it's cool, I don't even have a headache yet.

Jason: TIM!

Tim: No, it's cool, I'm not even hungry anymore.

Jason: GO FEED YOURSELF.

-

Tim, through comms, on patrol: I'm gonna head over to Main Street real quick.

Babs: What? Why? That's not on your route tonight.

Tim: Yeah, but if I don't my head will explode and my whole family will die.

Babs: I see... Well, tell Bruce hi if you run into him.

-

Tim: I'm glad my addiction genes went to caffine instead of alcohol, I could've been fucked up.

Jason: Real.

Bruce: Are you both prone to addiction?? And you didn't tell me?? :((

Tim, with a full-size fridge full of energy drinks in his room:

Tim: You didn't know?

Trying out a thing with the prey– I put a tapestry texture over them but I'm not sure how well it came out? I think I have to do some proper style studies of animals in medieval tapestries instead of just referencing a real photo like I did here.

I'm learning new things every day! Woah !!

Going to be taking a hiatus soon, as a reminder! Artfight is coming up and I gotta prepare a ton of refs

It definitely looks like we're gonna have to clear out for at least a few days once they begin repairs, unclear when or for how long though. Fortunately gf's parents will probably let us stay w them?

Every water mitigation place around here is so booked up. I'm told we're on multiple waiting lists now, at least one place has arranged for out of state contractors to come in and help them with the huge surge in demand so that may ease pressure?

Looks like next week we'll probably get someone scheduled to come out to assess and then after that actual repairs can be scheduled. This is all moving so slowly and in the meantime the subfloor has been completely immersed since sometime Monday evening. We're managing okish for now, the kitchen floorboards are mostly pulled up and we're walking around on plastic sheeting that very clearly has water underneath but it's mostly dry to walk on. The floorboards that are still there are propped up to let the fans dry underneath and I am constantly injuring my feet tripping on them or stubbing my toes. And in order to not damage the plastic sheeting using a stool in there or any kind of chair is not really an option so cooking is challenging (we're physically disabled & can't stand for long for various different reasons).

But honestly that's all pretty manageable. Once they start tearing stuff up to get to the water I think we won't be able to get in there at all, and the refrigerator is definitely gonna have to come out. Unclear if we'll be able to just plug it in elsewhere and use it like in the living room? My FIL thinks they may tear up the living room floors too.

I really want to understand what's going to happen so I can like, prepare myself emotionally (and logistically, like w food purchases) but I think even once we have a contractor assigned they won't be able to guess much until they're in there and seeing what's going on down there.

Also our microwave is attached so we won't be able to use that once we can't go in the kitchen. Another thing I gotta keep in mind!

VERY IMPORTANT DETAIL!!!

OKAY, so we all know that Turbo disguised himself as King Candy, right? Well I noticed a very important detail when comparing Turbo to King Candy. Turbo is actually skinnier than King Candy!

Also, A detail about King Candy’s design that is often overlooked is how fat his ass is. Like seriously look at that thing.

This is a very important detail that reveals much about Turbo and how he potentially had body dysmorphia from his lack of an ass.

Another thing about KC’s design is his thighs are skinny and they don’t match with his ass!

So, what am I trying to say here?

Turbo gave himself a BBL

heavy big naturals?

I hope I'm doing this right

[ragtimebanshee]

Chat, what do we think about existence? In general, and Specifically, is it better to just keep to yourself and suffer All This Shit? Or to like. Set boundaries and fight and make a huge stink about everything, with the chance of it getting better?

Tbh. I just want a break. It'd be so nice to just nope out of everything. A little nope. Maybe even a big one.

Except that's the whole problem?? Taking an irrevocable action on the chance of it getting better?? But worse, because we have no data AT ALL about the afterlife.

We know THIS life, with body pains and brain pains, systemic oppression, racism, classism, trying to navigate the healthcare & legal systems, and BREAKUPS!! etc etc. But, on the other side? No idea. Nobody's come back to report on the state of things over there. And, tbh, it's easier to deal with all the shit we KNOW than chance it on the shit we DON'T. That's literally my whole life.

Maybe i'm a coward. Maybe it's RSD.

But the thought of taking a risk - ANY action - to change my situation, and then having to deal with Consequences?? That i can't predict??? And that are also my fault????? Hard pass fr.

Soft you now! The fair Ophelia
