medication, fear
It appears as though today's medical toot day. So because of circumstances and health things I don't want to go into too deep right now I've been presented with the possibility of being reliant on medication for the rest of my life. And that scares me. Like I seem to have a deep fear of needing medication to survive especially at a young age. So mad respect to those of you for whom this is already reality. How do you do it? Like it legit terrifies me
Also wtf has it really been that long already? That's insane. Still remember it like it happened yesterday
And it's been like this for a good 2 ish years so my hopes of this discomfort ever going away are pretty slim. It's funny how we adapt though. It's gone from a thing I just can't stop thinking about to a thing that happens and I just kinda notice it sometimes when my mind isn't busy with other things
Reminder: Tone policing is bad.
You don't get to dismiss someone's argument merely because they fucking used a word, phrase, or tone of voice that you do not like. (see?)
Yes, obviously there are limits. But generally, if a person seems rude to you, try thinking why that is so. Are they perhaps the less-privileged party, frustrated because they are not being listened to?

Yes, subtoot. But also useful in general.
Thinking about alternative user interfaces that aren't graphical, I've often thought about how much I'm missing out on in a digital audio workstation or an integrated development environment because of things that were purely graphical. I know Reaper as well as VS Code are doing amazing things in that regard, they actually allow me to have a job doing code, but there are things that I wish I could do better, more efficient, faster... And now I really want to make this happen. Somehow.

I posted a thing about harmonizers a while ago and asked if I should turn it into a full song. Well, I did. Have a listen before I post it everywhere!
I code games and the occasional app, make music, record sounds, and generally exist overwhelmingly.
