I'm not dead. Just hyperfixating on video games and other things.
I swear my brain only knows how to hyperfixate now. I remember when I could multitask. Now I sit there drooling while staring at one game for weeks on end.

Another L from the Big N, ending online play for 3ds and wii u. Its lame considering the 360 and ps3 still have online servers up, but probably they just trying to shift to their new online systems for switch and whatever their next console is.

Treat anything on Discord as media that will be lost
Do not use Discord to host your files. Do not rely on Discord to preserve your text. DO NOT RELY ON DISCORD FOR ANY KIND OF PRESERVATION OR HOSTING!!
It CAN be lost, it WILL be lost! You must consider Discord as a part of the Core Internet, controlled by one company that hosts the servers.
I thought it was impressive at first that it replaced IRC, but now I am horrified. If the company behind Discord went under today, how many friends would you lose?
How many relationships? How much writing?
You may think this won't happen, but I remember when AIM went down and along with it, entire novels worth of interaction with my oldest friend.
IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. NO COMPANY IS INFALLIBLE.
Back up your files! Download anything you've saved to Discord NOW, before the API changes go into effect! And DO NOT RELY ON THEM FOR HOLDING IMPORTANT FILES!

Tora seems to be doing better after his stroke. He's currently on special food made for cats with cancer, and it's definitely helping him with his weight. Doesn't help that he's still a hospice cat with failing kidneys and hyperthyroidism.
As for me... hah. My bad arm popped really loud the other day and has been screwed up since. Work messed up my back. I have shoulder issues connected to the bad arm. My carpal tunnel and tendinitis are making my hands useless sometimes.
And on top of that, both of my veins that I get blood drawn from regularly collapsed today! Let's just add pain and stress to my current pain and stress, hmm?

Life is chaos. I'm so tired. My mom's arm is fucked up. My step dad is just... him. Tora had a stroke a few days ago. My stomach wishes to cause all sorts of turmoil.
I just wanna curl up and sleep.

public libraries in the usa offering free digital library cards to people not in their areas (as of october 2023):
brooklyn (13-21yo us residents)
seattle (13-26yo us residents)
boston (13-26yo us residents)
los angeles (13-18yo california residents)
san diego (12-26yo us residents, not the whole collection just commonly banned books)
these cards (part of the books unbanned initiative) get you access to each library's complete libby/overdrive collection (unless otherwise mentioned), no hoopla/kanopy/physical copies included.
ebook collections are expensive to maintain (many american libraries have annual fees for non-residents because of this) but because of an uptick in book banning (particularly brutal in mississippi last summer) larger libraries have opened their doors more, which is very kind of them!
i've used my seattle card for the last several months and their libby collection has about three times the books that my local library does, which is wonderful for accessing more niche titles or skipping a waiting list. would love to hear of similar ebook initiatives internationally!
i use library extension (firefox/safari/chrome compatible) to check all my collections (+ the internet archive) at once, works for several different countries highly recommend it.
spotify seems to be offering 15hrs/month of audiobook listening to premium subscribers and while that does seem useful if you're already paying and are after a new release with a long library waitlist, libraries are better for everything else.
