I know that I'm still not around very much, but you Gamepad friends come to mind very often. I hope you're all getting through, and I hope I can do a proper catchup soon. #staysafe #bekind

Well, I didn't get long in #FFXIV, but I'm on the L15 "Envoy" questline. So I'm learning some crafts in Limsa, and will pick up a couple in Gridania when I move onto there. And I'm starting to like my new Miqo'te. Just need to earn coin to get (from NPCs) or make better outfit items. It's weird not having Marketboard access, but at least I don't get choice overwhelm.

For me, a road to death, that you're aware of, includes having personal dignity & being able to live out your last days/weeks/months/years with as much joy & comfort as possible. I don't believe that terminally ill people deserve lesser than humane, compassionate care. I believe in protecting their fragile conditions, supporting them(and some of their loved ones) on difficult days & helping them to plan their own end of life journey. #DeathDoula #Dignity #Respect #BeHumane #BeKind #BeCompassionate #TerminalIllness #HealthCare #Hospice

Good morning (albeit again late...) from Amsterdam! 🌷💖 I made it safely, somehow managed to get here with all my socks accounted for, and now I'm ready for Canal Pride! I'll be wandering the canals with a big smile, probably getting distracted by pretty boats, prettier people, and at least one bakery. Have a lovely day, everyone. Be kind, be proud, and stay hydrated. 🏳️‍🌈✨ Have a wonderful time at Pride! 🌈 #Amsterdam #CanalPride #Pride #GoodMorning #LGBTQIA #QueerJoy #TrainTravel #BeKind

I had to go shoe shopping a few days ago to find some fancy dress heels. I found a pair in the clearance section. They fit, felt good, but were outside of my style comfort zone (kitten heels, little strap, pointy toe). As I was looking at them in the mirror, nervously turning this way and that, the security guard (female) walked by and, unprompted, told me they looked amazing on me. Made my whole day. I am still living off that compliment. #KindnessRocks #BeKind #DriveByCompliments

Today I rescued a tiny stick bug that was about to drown in a bucket of water. According to some old Japanese folk tales, this is about the time a gift of an exquisite jewelry or something magically appearing by my bedside. I'll report back. #insect #BeKind

The death of Ann Widdecombe is a useful reminder to us all that we should strive to live our lives in such a way that when we finally shuffle off this mortal coil, other people are actually sad about it. #BeKind #AnnWiddecombe

Do you ever think about what the world would be like after just one generation where every human child was treated well? By @bethsawin@mstdn.social #kindness #kindnessmatters #compassion #empathy #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #ymhc #communitycare #bekind

If I've missed posts or replies the last few days, it's a combination of low social capacity, low energy, not much PC time and...forgetting to sync #OpenVibe which merges my Mastodon & Bluesky feeds. 🤦‍♂️ Now I've fixed that, it's meds & sleep time. G'night / #StaySafe / #BeKind

I haven't done anything for the 10th yet. I need to type up writing, then configure a new firewall and AdGuard machine for our home network, so that it's working by the time wifey and NJ get home on Saturday. I'd best go sleep. G'night // #StaySafe // #BeKind

Right, I have a ... thing to be at tomorrow, so need to force my body to sleep earlier than normal. Look after yourselves. And in this world where there is too much hate, prize your friends and tell them so. Love and support each other. The world is /not/ all hate. #StaySafe / #BeKind

Right, my (real-life) glasses are hurting my nose, which means head pain's on the way. Time to sign off and take stuff from the office to the house in case I can't get out tomorrow. But at least I've caught up on in-game events in two games. When I return to questing in FFXIV, it'll probably be on my second main to get used to combat again, I need to rework the muscle memory. For now, it's meds and sleep time. G'night // #StaySafe // #BeKind

Okay, it's time to do as my Belle #cat has done : curl up, shut the world out, and go to sleep. I've made tiny bits of progress on things today. But I need meds and rest again. G'night // #StaySafe // #BeKind

Right, well, I didn't get into FFXIV, because I needed to do some extra work in relation to where my LOTRO content is archived, then fix a few other things. It's 4.30am and I need to calm myself and my pain down, then sleep. Going to be working on a basic wooden bookmark tomorrow. So drawing and fashioning with my hands. Should be more restful. Once I can wake the heck up anyway. Good night, #StaySafe and please #BeKind. There's too much of the other stuff already.

One piece of good news is that I've almost finished reconstructing my #FFXIV apartment. I moved servers to join a friend who had an Eternal Bonding recently. But, in low light, remaking this was a late night worth having a couple of days ago. (Alt text will be by @altbot@fuzzies.wtf because I need to do pyrography and stop posting about things.) But I wanted to share. Remember to #StaySafe, and please, please... #BeKind. Someone's gotta, and it may as well be us. #FF14 #MMO #MMORPG #Miqote

Well, I had hoped to try some gaming tonight, but I needed to start getting my head around the direction of my serial fiction, and deciding on how best to timeline my next "novel-length" piece. I also thought I'd *lost* a chapter of the serial story. Thankfully, I found it again. I'm still fighting some illness and massive over-tiredness, but at least I can give all these things some space now. But it's now 4am, so I need food, meds and sleep. G'night // #StaySafe // #BeKind
