Anyone else have the issue of owning lots of audiobooks but never being in the right ‘mood’ to read any of them?
I also do this with video games, lol.
Maybe it’s just a me thing?

LOL this tho 😂
I’m home. 💜
Resting. Hopefully… sleeping soon.
What a rough day. Ugh. I hate it when that happens but I’m very grateful that medical folks know how to help and get me stable(ish) again. I’ll be in bed for several days, and follow up with my family doctor next week.
Bless up to everyone who sent their love my way today. Thanks for being in my corner. 🤗🫶🏻☀️
Ugh. Lab techs sent me to the hospital… I thought I might have an infection and welp, apparently I’m as pale as a ghost.
So…. I’m here and now I wait. 😐
*update… I’m in a room in the ER. That was the fastest in years. I guess my vitals were not great… they’re hovering. 😬
To honour him today, I want to share an excellent interview featuring the late Steve Silberman.
It’s long, but 💯 worth the read.

@richygarcia84 dang. That magazine was my fav when I still lived down in Cali… I’d go hang out with the guys at the shop, grab my magazine, and head home to check out the latest news. I miss that… a simpler world.
I still have some issues from like 2005-2015! :))
@binarydigit this is so dope! 🎹🎸🎧
@binarydigit I like that idea! I worry about putting handing shelves on the walls because we rent… but I likely should just build my happy place and worry about that later lol
Any recommendations on how to decorate a boring blank wall background for video calls?
Context: my main desk is in our joint office space/studio, it’s nice and has some bookshelves in the background. I can’t always use that space at the same time as my wife so we have a second smaller desk where my back is to a blank wall (corner) but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it look nice.
Designers, activate!
All ideas accepted.
I definitely picked a banger of a timeline to do a research paper of the differences between misinformation and disinformation from a psychological perspective.
Wheeeeee 😅
@binarydigit thanks friend!!! It’s been a whirlwind of a year… this is my 6th infection since January. 🧐
Hope you’re doing okay, too!
Apparently, all I needed were antibiotics and *POOF*! Brain can write an essay.
Flow state, and now I'm nearly done. I love it when that happens!
I think I’d been trying to fight off that infection for a few weeks now but didn’t realize I was sick. Bless up to modern medicine. 💊
I’m pretty sure I’m going to read more for my classes this semester than I usually read in a year. 👀💀
I’m on a 200 page per week pace right now and I’m only taking 3 classes. 📚 📚 📚
Me working on my first University assignment in 18 years… 👀
@binarydigit sending you all the best for next week! 💜
Going to be a bit quiet here for a few days … I’ve got a surgical procedure in the morning and will have lots of doctor follow up appts to manage.
Good vibes are always appreciated. Imma come back from this stronger, no doubt! I never give up hope 💙💙
Me: *thinks of getting a Kobo*…
Also me: reads the internet and sees the community is hostile against the disability community and accessibility tools like TTS.
Finally me: well, that’ll be that and I’ll have to stick with my Kindle…

Context: I am dyslexic & ADHD and require assistive devices like Text-to-Speech to help me read books (and other content) from time to time. No, an audiobook doesn’t solve this issue. No, TTS and audiobooks are not the same. 👍🏻

I have a life announcement! 📣
I’m going back to University! ( At 37! )
The program is self paced, online and all of my accessibility accommodations have been approved!
I’m excited to be able to take asynchronous courses in a supportive environment.
Day 1 is May 1st!
I’m studying Psychology & Philosophy.
I plan to attend Graduate School afterwards and become a Registered Psychologist in Alberta so I can do Autism assessments (and more), and provide a safe place for #LGBTQIA2S folks. 🏳️🌈
