TFW you're all "Surely you remember the FidoNet Days" and they're all "I didn't exist yet" or "my tiny baby fingers were ill-suited for typing"

I just napped on the floor of my office cause it's the only room in the house under 85 degrees (29C for those of you not using Freedom Units).

On a more serious note, the Spinal Specialist did a few quick physical tests involving muscle strength, and determined just from that (wow!) that I have some nerve damage in my C6 nerve canal. He's also believes C7 is at risk for nerve damage as well because I had pain in my lower arm, but no wekening.

He's decided I'll need spinal injections to bring down the swelling on C6 and C7, as well as physical therapy to get my strength back up in my left arm. Waiting for them to call me for the appointments for the spinal injection shots.

If there's anything that will kill Threads for me is its lack of a fully functional web interface. 95% of my social media is done on a PC web browser.

I'll assuming, like Instagram, it's coming. I'm hoping it doesn't take as long....

Much to the chagrin of Sonic fans, the one Sonic Cartoon I really enjoyed: youtube.com/watch?v=rTwqBYPRdj

First Spinal Specialist appointment:

"Well, let me see here. We've got some arthritis in your spine, no big deal, some very minor stenosis on C5, that's just age, not a big deal and, and C6......DEAR LORD WHAT HAPPENED HERE JFC KID WHEN WERE YOU RUN OVER BY A STEAM ROLLER?!?!"

I may be paraphrasing, of course.

attention and : allow, for just, a moment your elders to pass on to you the sweet, lilting refrains of an anthem of seasons past. let it lift thy spirits and inspire both young and old to persevere in times of darkness.

Mastodon dunking on BlueSky who is dunking on Threads who is dunking on Twitter. Meanwhile, I'm all "LET'S TRY THEM ALL!"

Well, not Twitter.

Me, standing atop a cherry-blossom-swept bridge, re-sheathing my katana

You've tried Dungeons and Dragons but have you tried Forests and Felines

cishet techbros think fedi is failing because nobody interacts with their posts

they don't know the secret:

Confronting your fears takes courage. That is obvious. But doing so also takes compassion. You must understand why the fear took hold in the first place, and be gentle with the part of you that shrank away from it. You must attack your fears, not yourself for having them.

Threads in the streets
Mastodon in the sheets

Well, I'm on Threads. "jenndolari" Let's see how long this one'll last.
