"If life gives you lemons, make orange juice and leave everyone asking how you did it."
I took my tripod out for the first time in about a year. I forgot how nice it was to just record with my phone without worrying about how my mic might handle the audio.
Honestly, I find that - when I'm in the UK and have a busy life - my need to be on Mastodon suddenly decreases. It's not even that I don't mindlessly scroll when I'm here; I do. But Masto is a computer thing, and I find myself at my desk a lot less frequently.
All that to say: hi! I exist and stuff.
So grateful that someone will take care of me when the world feels like shit. Been dealing with the worst ear infection of my life all day, and my partner has been my fucking rock through it all. in a world where everything else turns to dust, sometimes, just sometimes, love still somehow wins.
After an open mic this past weekend, someone came up to me to tell me that my performance really "touched her core".
I'm not quite sure how to take that, but I know that nobody has touched my core before.
Perhaps I should seek advice for @bermudianbrit ... you know... for science.
Hey, all. Looking for advice from people who have specific experience with this, so please refer if you can.
Partner and I have started thinking about lifestyle changes, and one of the things we're looking into is glycemic load and eating better.
Any referrals to good content creators who post about this stuff, recipe blogs or websites that focus on that specifically or possibly (though less preferable) books with paletable and easy-to-digest information would be so incredibly helpful.
Thank you in advance!
When I say this ear ache has been some of the worst pain of my life, I'm not kidding. It's worse than every cramp, worse than the IUD that stopped them. I am completely unable to live my normal life at this point and I am so over it. I wish I was angry or annoyed... I'm just sad. My system is on such high alert that I can barely accept affection from the one person I trust near me right now. I fucking hate this.

I know the Samsung washing machines are said to have braille and tactile start/program buttons, but I don't know anyone who uses one that I can directly ask. Also how easy is setup?
