Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.

Been a minute. Again.

September was rough. October was actively bad and November showed every sign of being worse. Sometime around the end of October I made an appointment with my doctor to talk about antidepressants.

I had intended to try them once I got my job situation sorted out. Then again I had intended to have my job situation sorted out long before it got this bad. The thing about me and depression is that episodes always have an external trigger. It's not precisely something that's a part of me. Except for how it's always lurking, waiting for something to go wrong badly enough that it can slip through.

Long story short, I've been on Wellbutrin for a little over a week. It's been ... good? The week or two before I had reached the point of strugging with getting up off the couch to do anything fun, because I couldn't conceive of enjoying anything. That particular weight is lessened. I'm baking, and generally making decent food, and reading things for fun rather than "because this is what i'm reading now".

It's disrupting my sleep, I think. I'm waking up three or four times a night rather than once or twice. I am sticking with it for at least another week in the hope that this sorts itself out; if not, there's plenty of other flavours of drug I can try.

So that's what I've been up to for the last couple of months.



Other than that ... reading, playing with and sitting with Mr Tuppert, applying for jobs. Some boardgaming. More videogaming than I care to admit, less Getting Outside or Seeing People than I would like.

Hanging in, I guess.

Happy birthday-plus-one to me.
