It's finally upon us! We're moving to New York! All services will be down (including the site), starting Sunday evening (March 1st, after about 8pm CST), lasting through at least Wednesday morning (March 4th) but possibly later. I've shared more about it in previous posts but the gist is this: We're moving to Brooklyn, New York, to live with Uncle Cr4y, one of our best online friends. He's in the perfect position to take care of us long-term, physically, emotionally, and financially. He's doing a lot to help us, even before we get there, like making our new room sensory friendly and stocking up on our safe foods. He'll bring us into his health insurance long-term and help us stay afloat. He'll help us get on the disability fund as well - apparently it's MUCH easier in New York. Our bestie KD is going to help. On Sunday evening, we plan to have her help pack the car with anything left. The morning after, at roughly 7 AM CST, I'll meet her at her place and we'll hit the road. We already

Hello all! It's been a while since I wrote here, but this is the perfect time, with 2025 ending and the new year 2026 upon us. 2025 was rough on some, maybe even many people, especially because of a certain change in administration. But for us, our 2025 was positive, transformative, uplifting in ways I could have never dreamed. At the risk of repeating myself from some of my previous posts, I'm gonna do a recap: Where we've been (recap) TW: health crisis, medical system, mentions of narcissistic abuse At the beginning of this year, I was in a bad place. My wrist problems had been worsening for a few years, which I'd been hiding behind a wrist brace, but they got to the point I couldn't hide them anymore. Something else was brewing too, this sensation like the nerves in my arms would burst into flames if they touched something too hard. I wasn't doing anything wrong, but I ended up bedridden for a few months since around March of this year. I would spend every day in my bedroom, laid ou

It's our birthday! We just turned 25 years old. That brings with it some impetus to stop and reflect, and I wanted to share said reflections here, to anyone willing to listen to me ramble. This year has for sure been one of the hardest we've ever had to face. Harder than dropping out of high school, harder than hunting for a treatment for my mysterious pain after that, harder than any online relationship I've entered or exited, good or bad, and harder than slaving over a coding project for years and years. I (now we) have had to deal with an awful lot in the last 365 days. At about this time last year, I was comfortably chilling in my personal discord server, enjoying my time with games and such, although crucially I must point out that my wrists had already been failing for quite some time by then, and I would rather cover up the problem with wrist braces. The biggest worry I had to deal with was little online drama things, like inviting someone back there who'd wronged me and mana
