I really don't know how to post an #introduction, because I think that no one would care about one single thing I say but I'm somewhat anonymous here so ... no risk no fun?
I'm a very chaotic they/them :Blobhaj_Flag_Nonbinary:, very forgetful, probably dissociating 24/7 :blobcat_fearful:(hence the forgetfulness), and currently stressed about [insert thing].
I love cozy games, especially stardew valley (I wish abigail was real...), portal has a special place in my heart :blobcat_thinkportal:
My friends mean the world to me, even though I'm mostly not able to communicate that. :blobcat_heartshow:
I have various mental... problems but mostly struggling with the big sadᵗᵐ
I wish I could donate my boobies to someone who wants them, rip :blobcat_derp:
coping through humor and sleeping :blobcat_moremeltiie:
#caffeine addict level ♾ :blobcat_sippy: I really am not myself without the jittery juiceᵗᵐ (even though I don't even know who I am, most of the time)
I guess that's all I can say for now... my favorite color is green, even though I'm beginning to appreciate blue :D
If anyone has any questions, I'm open to answer anything (even though I don't expect anything at all).
thanks to anyone who took their time to read through this mess :blobfoxcomfysip:
Coffee consumption decreases the connectivity of the posterior Default Mode Network (DMN) at rest
Investigators found that “certain changes in brain activity were attributable only to coffee, while others were attributable to caffeine as well.”
The scan study revealed that “drinking #coffee increased activity in parts of the #brain involved in short-term #memory, #attention and focus, whereas ingesting #caffeine on its own did not.”
My neurologist recommended to avoid #caffeine at all costs. So I'm trying out caffeine free cereal #coffee. It's coffee made not from coffee beans but from wheat and rye. 🌾
I love this arch decorated with images of the Green Man over the entrance to James Miller's 1896 Saint Enoch Underground Station building in central Glasgow.
It's now a coffee house and I wonder how many people going in to get their daily caffeine fix look up and see these wonderful little sculptures as they pass underneath.
Sometimes I have trouble getting to sleep at night. Some nights I don’t sleep at all. Tonight was one of them. Apparently insomnia is more prevalent among autistic people but I can’t blame my autism tonight. No, I dosed myself with too much caffeine because Final Fantasy XVI released at midnight last night.
Catherine and I have both been looking forward to the game, especially once a demo became available a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been a FF fan since I was 12 and after Cat and I got married she got dragged into it.
It’s also how she got into power metal and symphonic metal.
She doesn’t have the patience to play the games herself, but likes to watch the cutscenes. She’s there for the music and melodrama. But since she’s a sensible woman and wasn’t jacked up on caffeine she eventually needed to go to bed.
I joined her rather than play without her. Except I couldn’t get to sleep. My usual methods didn’t work. I ended up reading the last third of Fires of Azeroth by C. J. Cherryh with a little USB-charged reading light on its dimmest tolerable setting. I got up twenty minutes ago because in addition to the birdsong outside the house’s open windows I could hear our dog scratching at the door because she wanted out. Never mind that it was around ten after five in the morning.
Maybe she wanted to go out and piss before the garbage trucks started traversing the neighborhood? She always gets a little crazy on Thursdays; we suspect but can’t prove that big trucks are part of the reason our rescue dog is such a trauma puppy.
Regardless, I’m awake and having some more caffeine. My usual bottle of cold-brewed matcha in the morning should keep me going until nightfall and as long as I don’t have any more caffeine later I should be able to sleep tonight.
‘Cause I’m not 19 anymore. I got away with going three nights without sleep to play Final Fantasy VII back then, but I’m entirely too old to even consider such insanity now.
The game will still be there if I sleep tonight, as will my day job. But I’m damned well taking today off from work. Not to worry; I had told management I intended to take today off a few weeks ago.
There’s just the question of how to amuse myself while I wait for Catherine to wake up. I still don’t want to play when she’s not around to enjoy the story.
I guess I’ll tinker with my website. I’ve been meaning to change the way I generate my links page; I want to be able to generate an OPML file, mainly so that I can import my subscriptions into any feed reader that will process OPML. I figure others might find such a file useful as well. And if not, tough shit; it’s my website and I’ll do with it as I please.
And I’m all over the place, rambling into my text editor. This, kids, is why you shouldn’t ingest any caffeine after noon if you want to get a decent night’s sleep. At least the dog is settled and I’ve got a cat in my lap.

In my attempt to accidentally prove @twwk right about me...let's talk about Prime Energy.
I was at the grocery store over the weekend and saw the entire shelf of #PrimeEnergy empty except for a single, orange mango. So, had to snag it.
My opinion? More mango than orange, which isn't bad per say. Very sweet. Also, if you have drank something with coconut water added for sweetness and electrolytes, you may know the subtle taste that it adds to everything. That's here too.
The vast majority of teabags are bad. But the other day I saw one that broke some kind of record for being pointless and absurd. It contained a mix of rooibos, the well-known #caffeine-free substitute for #tea, AND GREEN TEA. And it was flavoured with one of those absurd combinations, like licorice and root beer or some such shit.
The caffeine finally kicked in. Yuck I have too much of a tolerance for this stuff. I do like coffee but I want it to work and be yummy. #rant#coffee#caffeine
@seth This is not an ad, more an admission of addiction. These days it takes three cups of espresso on top of an americano to get going in the morning. I used to call it a hard start, now it is just another Tuesday. #caffeine
