October,

IT’S HERE!

What it’s like experiencing the beginning of fall on tumblr. 

EDIT: I know it’s supposed to be “1st”, I just did a dumb. ;3

Still alive. Still in the hospital. It's one thing after another here. I'll make a better post when I feel better. But just know I'm still around. It's actually been nice to be off social media for so long. Love you guys.

I know I haven't really been on today. It's been a rough one, health-wise. They're keeping me another night for the pending blood work results.

Declutter Tumblr

The new layout it a whole mess. Thankfully Xkit can already help with a bunch of this! I'm sure it'll give more options soon.

Vanilla Tumblr: (I have marked in red what can be removed. The tabs can be set not to stick, so you will really only see them at the top of your dash. Empty box on the left for hidden notifications and shop sparkle, i just didn't have any. I'm EU so no Live for me).

Xkit Rewritten Tumblr:

The settings I use:

I have to say, there's a big difference between mine and my husband's families. It seems like any time we ask something of his family, as in them coming to keep me company in the hospital, it's like a huge inconvenience for them. It's like they're going to keep dangling it over our heads. My family? My mom has been down right begging me to tell her when to come down to visit (I really don't want her visit with me in over a year to be at the hospital). And my dad. Just talked to him and he said that while he had work stuff lined up for the week, he would do his best to drop it all and come up to be with me if we really needed it.

Now don't get me wrong. I'm extremely appreciative of everything hubby's family has done and continues to do for us. But after hearing from his mom that his aunt that came yesterday felt taken advantage of and inconvenienced, etc, hubby just put his foot down and said we're not asking for any more favors from anyone.

More detailed update.

They did the ERCP on me yesterday. They managed to remove the stone and take the stint. The only thing is, they put a metal one in its place (the other was plastic). They're also now pushing to take my gallbladder. They were saying something about doing it tonight, but I begged for them to wait until tomorrow that way I can get someone up here with me. I don't want to be by myself when all this goes down. Granted, visiting hours don't start until 10, so it won't be until late morning before someone can come in, but still. I also found out I have abscesses on my liver. They're small, too small to biopsy, and I was told that antibiotics will take care of them. Apparently I had an ascending infection from the stones/inflammation from everything.

Quick update for those who care: horrific gallstone gone!!

I'll make a more thorough post tomorrow. Still very out of it from the anesthesia right now. Night night lovelies.

#personal #health #the big gallstone is gone babies!!!!

Officially being admitted again. It almost sounds like they're going to fix me this time around, too. I'm still going to be stuck in the ER room I'm currently inhabiting for the foreseeable future though, the hospital is full. But it will be really nice to get my own room. Or have one of the guys who's stuck in the hallway get his own room or leave. Home dude stares at me constantly. I have to walk past him every time I take a trip to the bathroom and it's uncomfortable. Even made sure the curtain in my room is completely closed so he can't stare straight in here anymore either.

A note to all creatives:

Right now, you have to be a team player. You cannot complain about AI being used to fuck over your industry and then turn around and use it on somebody else’s industry.

No AI book covers. No making funny little videos using deepfakes to make an actor say stuff they never did. No AI translation of your book. No AI audiobooks. No AI generated moodboards or fancasts or any of that shit. No feeding someone else’s unfinished work into Chat GPT “because you just want to know how it ends*” (what the fuck is wrong with you?). No playing around with AI generated 3D assets you can’t ascertain the origin of. None of it. And stop using AI filters on your selfies or ESPECIALLY using AI on somebody else’s photo or artwork.

We are at a crossroad and at a time of historically shitty conditions for working artists across ALL creative fields, and we gotta stick together. And you know what? Not only is standing up for other artists against exploitation and theft the morally correct thing to do, it’s also the professionally smartest thing to do, too. Because the corporations will fuck you over too, and then they do it’s your peers that will hold you up. And we have a long memory.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking “your peers” are only the people in your own industry. Writers can’t succeed without artists, editors, translators, etc making their books a reality. Illustrators depend on writers and editors for work. Video creators co-exist with voice actors and animators and people who do 3D rendering etc. If you piss off everyone else but the ones who do the exact same job you do, congratulations! You’ve just sunk your career.

Always remember: the artists who succeed in this career path, the ones who get hired or are sought after for commissions or collaboration, they aren’t the super talented “fuck you I got mine” types. They’re the one who show up to do the work and are easy to get along with.

And they especially are not scabs.

*that’s not even how it ends that’s a statistically likely and creatively boring way for it to end. Why would you even want to read that.

To go further, that was my first time having morphine. Right after she pushed it into my iv, the sensation hit in my back, across my shoulders. I can't even exactly describe how it made me feel. Just.....off. Honestly, I almost started crying right afterwards because it scared me and I couldn't stand how it made me feel. I'm only in a room in the ER right now, they haven't admitted me. There's actually a possibility they won't. But if they administer anymore pain meds while I'm here, I'm asking for something else. I don't ever want that feeling again.

Officially NOT a fan of morphine. Fuck that made me feel off.
