chronically ill, overly earnest
interests include other people, #opera, traditional musics from around the world, bribing the neighbour's wee fearty barky dog into liking me and wishing i'd found a hobby besides trying to grow veg in a changeable and often shite climate.

rapidly repeating animations can be a seizure trigger for me. this isn't something i can participate in.

"There's enough sorrow in the world, isn't there, without trying to invent it."
A Room with a View (1908)

Edward Morgan Forster died #OTD in 1970.

Forster was a member of the Bloomsbury Group in the 1910s and 1920s. Many of his novels examine class difference and hypocrisy. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 20 separate years. via @wikipedia

This article describes my life better than I'm quite literally capable of. It's why the casual attitudes towards long covid upset me so much. I've given up urging people to wear their masks, it's too hard to take.

My memories of nursery all include, and often centre around, trying to negotiate a chaotic environment with this haze of brain sludge. I don't know what the cause is, only that it's been an impairment my entire life and it's becoming increasingly and unbearably hard to work around it.

What Makes Brain Fog So Unforgiving

Brain fog isn’t like a hangover or depression. It’s a disorder of executive function that makes basic cognitive tasks absurdly hard.

What's the setting to stop animated words? I've tried a few things but haven't found that one yet.
I'm photosensitive and can take seizures from repetitive visuals. It tends to be cumulative (like a glass filling up and then suddenly overflows from just a wee bit more) so it's better for me to just avoid as much as possible.
Thanks for any help.

Let's be kind to everyone.
