everything happens so much
man. a lot of things have happened since the last time i was able to log in here. my spouse got top surgery (yay!) so i had to take off work and be their caretaker, which has been both good and bad. bad because i'm terrible at being a caretaker/house spouse lmao (i managed, tho, they're still alive) and good because i REALLY needed a break from work. i've been so stressed with covid and everything and then right before my spouse's surgery some people got it in their mind to harass me because i dared advertise an anthology i co-edited for a ship they didn't like. it's not my fault that student/teacher can be very sexy, and there wasn't anything in the anthology that would be illegal most places anyway. really feels like ye olde ship war just dressed up in weird holier-than-thou rhetoric. so i've been laying pretty low and staying off most social media, which has been very good for me mentally.
i've been participating in an oc exchange event (not artfight, it was formed as a response to harassment the artist skumsuck received at the hands of artfight mods) and doing a lot of little ficlets and some art. it's been extra nice this year since it's also how one of my most inspiring creative relationships got its start, so this year there's been some pieces acknowledging the anniversary of our ocs getting together, lol. i'm still intending on doing the kink bingo, but honestly i needed a break from fandom stuff after that harassment. and i'm still trying to be careful, so it'll probably be a little while before i return to writing for a specific pairing. i refuse to let bullies stop me, though! i've got a backlog of ideas just waiting to be written and posted >:)
what with taking care of my spouse and trying to wrangle three cats on my own when one hasn't been fully introduced to the others and just. everything. i haven't had much time for daneposting but i did get my spouse to watch "happy birthday to me" the other night and i'm def gonna write a post re-evaluating my opinion of the movie. much more enjoyable watching it with another person, haha.
not looking forward to returning to work next week but we need the money :/ grateful to have been able to use FMLA but it's still bullshit that doing so means a pay cut. you'd think that needing medical leave to care for someone means your full paycheck would be even more important than ever...... i would be so much happier if i could work part time with the same level of access to health benefits (or better, but let's start small) but i guess for the time being i'll just continue doing the bare minimum at work. they don't pay me enough to care more, especially not when i have an MA and the job description only needs a BA. at least it's a foot in the door because it'll be easier for me to be considered for another job within this agency when i have the chance.
anyway, hope everyone's been doing well. i might make a more specific post about the harassment later once i refresh my memory on how locked entries work, or i might just forget about it because it really shouldn't be worth that much of my energy.
ETA: i also started playing disco elysium! i gotta pick it back up but the writing i've read so far has been incredible. i would've gladly read this as a regular novel but the interactive element does really enhance the experience (and of course there are some truly phenomenal harrykim fanworks out there).
