@roadriverrail Same. My biggest complaints were the under-usage of Bill Murray and Evangeline Lily, but there was a lot to enjoy. Unlike some of the fandom, I have found things to like in all of the Phase 4 and 5 content so far.

@roadriverrail Awww, I adored Love and Thunder. But I also view it as being told by an Unreliable Narrator (Korg) to a group of kids.

Also? Goats.

@roadriverrail @epilanthanomai Yeah, I am good with curated. I do not necessarily want to be in an echo chamber but I also do not want to spend time in a place…well, like Facebook.

@roadriverrail @epilanthanomai I am kinda inclined to block them, honestly. I don’t want to see the Fediverse become the next EZMode social media platform. I like the fact that there is a degree of difficulty in setting up and using it because I feel like it builds a stronger sense of community and accountability. But I am also looking at that from a very high position of privilege and know that historically that kind of environment is dominated by people who look like me.

A fifteen-day supply of my new cancer medication is $11k without insurance.

The healthcare industry is out of control in this country.

@roadriverrail Now you have me googling…

@roadriverrail Do you have any recommendations on those? We have looked into a few but have not as of yet found one that really appealed.

@roadriverrail One of the things I love about cruising is that I have very few choices to make. The most complicated usually being “how much effort do I want to put into eating?”

@roadriverrail That sounds divine

@roadriverrail For me I feel like I have hit several different homeostasis points in my life. Right now it is around 200 pounds, and the 5-10% variation around that number has been consistent for about 3 years now. It was 250 for a few years before that. Intermittent Fasting helped me move that bar. Or at least I think so. It honestly might just be health related. :/

Have an endocrinologist now and have started long-lasting injection insulin. The transition has been rough. My BG levels are all over the place lately and even when I think I am eating “properly” they skyrocket on me.

Honestly I am at the point where I feel like I might as well give up food as well because why should I have any guilty pleasures any more?

(I am not serious but damn)

@gnu2 @roadriverrail Thanks, internet friend!

I genuinely believe that most people have good intentions and are always trying their best.

I also believe that we all fuck it up more often than not.

I am sorry for my feed being such a bummer but this has literally become the only place I can talk about the shit going on in my life without dealing with complications.

So I appreciate you, my small federated audience.

@roadriverrail I think it will be a hot minute. Hoping so, anyway. Because that would mean my surgery is soon!

@roadriverrail I've been talking about coming up that way for a non-Dragon Con related visit relatively soon. I'll keep you in the loop.

@roadriverrail I will know more on Monday. Gonna be a pins and needles kinda weekend!

I am on edge due to a potentially major development in my cancer treatment. It is possible I will be getting surgery much sooner than I thought. I am excited and absolutely terrified at the same time.
