I have been fighting with #bookwyrm as a solution to recording my #reading and #book data. It is a little #disappointing. I want to use it, but for me (mass importing of data) it is too time consuming going through hundreds of entries that are either "slightly" different from what currently exists on the service, or is not on any instance networked and therefore throw up import errors.
Thing is, you look at what you've got and think: "That's correct data there, I've checked against multiple sources and all the names, authors and ISBNs are correct. Why can't I just push a button and import it all? I mean it's better than what is being suggested to me at present. Why is that <random book> appearing six times on my list against book I know are okay?"
A morning wasted. I don't need a solution, I have an alternative that isn't #goodreads or bookwyrm. But you try and support or use something and it's... It's like me having to recompile a Linux v2.2 kernel to get USB support around 2000-2001.
Fun fact:
When you criticize the way an #actuallyautistic person communicates, it's pretty likely that they don't actually change the way they communicate, they just communicate less.

@actuallyautistic @autistics #ActuallyAutistic been standing in line for over and hour and people just keep walking past and bumping into me as if i’m not standing here…
…same thing happens when i’m talking to people…
i’m sorry, is my existence too much for you to acknowledge?

You don't need a Boox Go 7 e-reader because you already have too many e-ink devices and you won't use it.
Note to myself
No not the Prather #book..
It all worked out. The #anxiety turned into a solid plan that kept me on time on track and on course. I got what I needed. It didn't cost quite as much as I #feared. I still have #energy left and I wasn't #exhausted physically or #mentally (though I did have to stop and regroup a couple of times).
Small wins.
I had an insanely good #coffee, and hammered out about 4 pages worth of thoughts. BY HAND. Writing by hand is #liberating. If you keep your #writing "reasonably" neat you can OCR it into a digital document later. Well, I OCR it. Very useful.
Reframing success
- “Am I #healing with integrity?”
- “Am I being honest with myself and others?”
- “Am I resisting the trap of pretending I’m fine when I’m not?”

@bookstodon Another comic I read when it came out, but I thought it was time to reread it. So this arrived today.
The 12 issues were collected two and two and published in six issues in Sweden, I own a mix of them, but not all.

Possibly my one and only post on P/politics
Speaking of #anxiety, #mentalhealth and so on.... I must profess to being in the minority when it comes to [the current year].
Or any year.
I've been disillusioned for the better part of the last 30 years. I do not want to "engage" with 'Big P' Politics, or 'small p' politics.
I'm struggling to get support and services for the injuries I suffered from a stroke. You know, typing and using your hands, not being perpetually exhausted, being able to see things in focus, not being over-stimulated by movement or sound (autistic readers are nodding sagely round about now...). It's taking up a lot of my mental time, energy and strength just surviving.
As a wise man once said, "I'm too old for this shit".
I may post some writing if I'm not feeling shy.

I know that feeling very well since decades, now I get meds for CPTS (still now for the time being but they want to crack that down) I resort to vaping Indica weed , Kush favorably as it calms and relaxes and get the fear for the unknown away. As very last resort if they take it all> will be alcohol again which of none of them I recommend but we are trapped in a vicious cycle due to youth traumatic events recurring more then once. Keeps me look young but inside I'm broken. Such is life.. I wish you best in any case.

Writing
I have started writing. It's not for anyone. It's a process. Words on a page, either typed or scrawled for me alone.
Maybe there is an audience, a reader outside my skull? I don't know yet.

What are roundabouts? A transportation engineer explains the safety benefits of these circular intersections
Whether you call them rotaries, traffic circles or roundabouts, they offer a safer alternative to the four-way stop. But the modern roundabout has been decades in the making.The Conversation

I need to spend more time looking into alternative searches.
The "web" went from SEO blogspam to AI slop in the blink of an eye and it turned functionally useless to literally pointless in moments. #NewYorkMinute
Perhaps that was the point though?
#Struggling with the after effects of a #stroke is incredibly #isolating. I have a #therapy session tomorrow. But that is more a case of "we'll help you find out what care you SHOULD have got and didn't".
