Just got diagnosed with lupus and now I have to explain to people that I have to take extreme precautions when out and about because the sun can fuck me up super bad.

That's an idea lol. The only birds that don't like me are parrots. Ducks and chickens are fine

 

She doesn't like me very much

Haven't used Amazon in two years. I don't even have an account anymore. Doesn't stop them from sending me emails 3x/day to sign up again. I try to shop local, but I do have to go to shitty corp stores for some stuff.

I was put on hydroxychloroquine a few months ago and it's great, but having a formal diagnosis now is making it scary.

You're good. I appreciate the advice. :)

My doctor has given me all sorts of info on it. I was looking for more first hand account kinds of things.

 

I got a diagnosis today after trying to figure out what's wrong with me for twenty years. My grandmother died at a relatively young age of lupus complications and she had to end her whole career at 36 because she was so sick. I'm 27, and I am terrified I'm going to end up like her. Her quality of life was absolutely awful for the entire time I knew her. I don't want that for myself.

I work as a helpdesk tech and I always say that I killed a task in task manager when writing up ticket notes.

You're welcome. I haven't read it in years because it's so sad. I have a copy sitting on my shelf because it's genuinely a good book, but I haven't cracked it open.

It wasn't a short story, but a book that told a story in poems. The mc struggled with writing poetry and then he watched his dog get hit by a car and that made his poetry good or some shit. A room full of 5th graders wept. Book is called Love that Dog

We also read Old Yeller and cried collectively.

My 5th grade teacher loved that reoccurring theme, I guess? Dude was weird as hell.

There are so many great expressions in the crowd in the last pic

 
 

My friend and I want to play modded Minecraft together. We used to use Hamachi when we both had windows machines. Now Hamachi just isn't working. We can connect and communicate on the LAN we made, but I can't connect to the direct connection. There aren't any error messages that help. It just says it couldn't connect. I have a steamdeck and my friend has a Windows desktop. I've done research about it and I am thoroughly lost on what to do. We want to try to do this for free or hella cheap.

Has anyone here encountered this issue and found a workaround or anything?

She isn't even close to be fully broken and I knew the risks going into it lol. I got back on after she threw me and we finished the session on a good note. Getting more protective gear to prevent injuries like the ones I'm currently dealing with, since I expect to be thrown again during the training process.

 

Got thrown out of the saddle by a horse today and got mildly fucked up. I want to invest in more protective gear than just a helmet but there's so many options. I want elbow pads and wrist guards definitely because of the bad scrapes and sprains I got. And maybe some kind of vest to protect me from any gut punches the horn of the saddle will give me if the horse tries to throw me again. My stomach has some nice big bruises from the horn.

 

He's always trying to see my phone. Gives off "you got any games on your phone?" energy. He splashes me when I give him water and tries to steal the end of the hose. He also demands pets as soon as I enter the barn.

 

She gets offended when I make her listen to me, but we're still buds. She gets excited to see me because she knows I take her outside to graze when I'm there lol

Getting therapy for the emotional damage from being unlawfully fired from a job almost two years ago.

There's 3 months left in the statute of limitations. My therapist really thinks I should go after my former employer for this shit.

Idk if I should. I am employed at an amazing place rn and can't really afford time off, but I also want justice for myself and anyone else who got the same treatment I did.

What do y'all think?
