Meet the Artist · 2026

Anyway, I had a bit of migraine aura (not sure if it was drug induced or what, but important to note) and after about 20 minutes my pulse got quieter, my shoulders relaxed all their tension, and I was able to drift off to sleep. And I actually got a decent night's sleep! (The day before I was running on only five hours of sleep because my entire body felt like it was on high alert.)

It has now been a little over 12 hours since I took the Zyrtec and I'm starting to feel that body and chest tension again, along with some twitchiness in my arms that makes drawing difficult. So I've got my airplane earplugs in (another weird experiment I'm conducting to see if it reduces barometric pressure fuckery in my earmeats), and I'm about to pop on the ear defenders as well.

If all this POTS fuckery is because my body activates an immune response to changes in air pressure and temperature, then I have to say that's ridiculous. But Covid did cook my headmeats something fierce, so signals have definitely gotten scrambled.

Ten minutes later: Oof! Nope. Can't do the ear defenders too. Causes too much pressure difference and makes the shoulders and back all tense. Gonna stick with just the airplane earplugs. The ones with the little filter that allows for miniscule pressure changes to pop through.

Weather this week in my neck of the woods is going to be obscenely hot. I have cooling contingencies in place. So it'll be interesting to see what happens. So far, it's turning out that summer has once again taken the top spot in my most hated seasons chart.

Art Fight 2026

My first time doing this and it was so fun drawing people's OCs. And seeing the revenge art of my OCs always makes me squeak with joy. This certainly kept me busy over the last four weeks!

See below for character names and links to their creators' respective Art Fight pages and tumblrs (in parentheses).

The pressure rise is slowing down a little and my body is considerably less cranky now. But during that 22:00-23:00 hour I was very incapacitated. It's a good thing I got that cane.

Microbarom on Wikipedia

This line was particularly interesting: "the aerologists working at the marine Hydrometeorology stations and watercraft drew attention to the strange pain that a person experiences when approaching the surface of a standard meteorological probe".

Strange pain from absurdly low frequency sound?!?! Yeah! That's what I experience almost daily now.

I haven't bought FH5 or FH6 yet, (WANT 6 BECAUSE JAPAN!!!) so I reinstalled FH4 on my recently revived Linux gaming PC and have been terrorizing Britain at high speed in a Subaru. It's been great!

My Forza Horizon driver now has her Bames Nond suit and a free lakeside cottage. No Aston Martin (yet), but I do have a Bentley. (Oh I want a sim racing setup so much! Brings me back to the days I was driving on the Pole Position arcade wheel as a kid.)
