I hate hate hate feeling the arthritic pain in my right shoulder, trying to keep sewing but feeling the pain making it harder and harder. I want to craft! I feel like I'm losing myself when I can't.

Why are there no icons on the dash anymore and how do I turn them back on? Surely this cannot be an intentional feature. :(

"The words of the poem, their indocility, their number, their insignificance, hold to the heart the impalpable instant, a kiss slowly pressed to the mouth of a dead woman, they hold the breath of that which no longer is.

The transparency of the beloved, miraculous indifference, what makes one lost, is lost in the infinite crystal of light: to never think of it again."

Georges Bataille, "The Undifferentiated Being is Nothing" from The Collected Poems of Georges Bataille (trans. Mark Spitzer)

Anyway you know when Eliade said that for religious man religious spaces provide landmarks in the otherwise total homogeny of secular existence? That's what the Bits are in early fieldnotes they're points of reference in an otherwise featureless landscape.

occasionally, this riotous scene, this Kafka-like parable by Werner Herzog comes to mind:

(... and ['zog] against all.)

((and this, too))

i read the grisha trilogy waaaay before it was trendy and let me tell you it did not leave an impression

i have a vague idea of a girl and a mean guy and some fighting and then i remember with crystal clarity some line from probably book 2 like "she ran across to her girlfriend" which i remember specifically because my reaction was "wait wtf when did that character get a girlfriend i don't remember being told that???"

What do we call the moment where you realize that yes, It is happening to you? You are not immune. Whatever It is. Your career won’t work out. Your wife doesn’t love you. Your children aren’t going to call. You got sick and will not get better. Whatever It is. Is this failure? Growing up? Growing old?

haha cool anyway I guess the internet had a good run

Some days I wake up and feel like Damian fans should start being as unapologetically supportive and annoyingly delusional as some stans of the other batkids.

Damian never did anything wrong in his life ever, it's all everyone else's fault.

Damian is the best Robin and Batman's favorite child.

Damian is the best choice to take over as Batman.

In fact Damian should take over the main Batman book, he deserves it.

Screw humility, nuance and canon.

So yesterday's geneticist visit went very well! I got genetic testing for connective tissue things, including EDS. However, I don't meet criteria for Hypermobile EDS because of my med for rheumatic conditions working. And due to lack of known family history of any EDS, it's not high on their expectations for the results.

I am indeed very hypermobile as the geneticist said after examining me, and she ordered an ECG/EKG and an echocardiogram. I got the ECG done there, and the echocardiogram will be done at a later date, since that was more of a referral I think?

Anyways, they think it might be rheumatic connective tissue stuff rather than a genetic cause. I have to wait until around the end of August for my genetic results, though.

Also, I apparently got a dx of Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease (UCTD)! So that's interesting!

GAH. My right thumb/wrist is hurting a LOT.

When I first went to a rheumatologist I remember he kept asking about my hands. I was all no, it's my feet and knees! And why yes, I have been having elbow pain. Of course he knew to expect it to be my hands too. And the hands stayed ok for a lot longer, dunno how much of that is purring cats and how much is lots of hand exercise, but .... it has been worsening over time.

I'm cranky because my hand hurts, and I can't stitch any more right now. And I had a disappointing morning. And I feel ... useless right now.
