Appointment got off to a greeeeat start. The elevators in the building were being repaired so we got to hike 5 floors.
Doc was pretty sympathetic, didn't blow off any of my symptom descriptions, asked a lot of questions. For now, he's put me on a *much* stronger antacid to try and ease up the pain, and he's scheduled me for a bunch of diagnostic tests over the next couple of weeks. About what I figured would happen, it's fine, at least something's happening at all.

So!! For the past couple of months, I have been working on a plushie of Assok, from @modmad's wonderful webcomic The Property of Hate :D
I hadn't used felt to make a plush since I was a kid, and this project took a lot of work, time and efforts, but I'm extremely proud of how it turned out. Very much a labour of love :'>
Special shout-out to @sharoo, who crocheted the little Assok sock on the trunk for me!
I started it around mid-April and we're almost mid-July, so this project took just about three months to complete– although most of the last one was spent waiting for the little crochet Assok to arrive, augh. The package spent 25 days in transit why.
The pattern was made by Voynart on etsy, though I altered it quite a bit to make it resemble Assok more.
Process and WIP pictures below the cut!
After modifying the pattern I had bought I made two rounds of testing (one with just the paper pieces and another out of cheap felt) to check if it all fit together okay! This took two weeks iirc? I only had a limited amount of wool felt and I wanted to make the plushie as big as possible, so I didn't have a lot of room for errors once I got going
The head! (plus one of the paws, I was testing appliqué stitches)
I made it first, because it was the most important part and I wanted to make sure I got it right
The body! I made all the paws different because they're not always the same colour in the webcomic (check pages 619, 620 and 637, for example!); likewise, I didn't use exactly the same thread colour on both sides of the body. I really enjoyed the fact that you can embrace visible stitches when working with felt, it's not something I did with my previous plushies :>
Fun fact: as I was sewing on the dark purple pieces on Assokaphant’s front legs, I had to use pliers to force the needle through both pieces of felt plus stuffing, and I managed to break the needle fdshgfds
BUT THEN I ran into A Problem: sock too big for they trunk. Of course I could've put it in the washing machine until it shrank, but, you know, I was afraid it would take a while...
THANKFULLY Sharoo came to my rescue and made a perfectly-sized Assok for me!! It's adorable aaa I'm so glad. Couldn't have done it myself, truly the cherry on top
New headcannon: everyone in that song is gay except the Piano Man who has no idea he’s playing at a gay bar and the staff and regulars have a betting pool on how long he’ll take to finally figure it out. So far John is ahead.
“The manager gives me a smile ‘cause he knows that it’s me they’ve been coming to see” also implies that the Piano Man is possibly an incredibly attractive but oblivious himbo, and if you listen to the rest of it imagining that, this all fits a little too well.
this makes too much sense. Also, the full quote is “Now John at the bar is a friend of mine. He gets me my drinks for free. And he’s quick with a joke or to light up your smoke. But there’s someplace that he’d rather be” Yes, your bed, he wants to be on your bed honey, that’s not a joke, he is flirting with you.
was talking to a coworker and realised i could not for the life of me remember his name but i was too embarrassed to ask because we've spoken multiple times so mid-conversation i started concocting a plan to nudge the conversation towards the ID photos on our building passes so that i could be like oh my ID photo is awful haha the camera they use to take these has a real talent for making me look as unphotogenic as possible and then he would say oh yes me too haha everyone says that (because they do) and then i would be able to say well let me see yours it can't be as bad as mine! and he would show me his ID because we are coworkers and why wouldn't he and this would allow me to see his building pass which of course would have his name on it and then i would be able to say well yours is perfectly nice it must be me that's the problem! and then we would have a polite chuckle about it and i would have his name without needing to ask for it and he would be none the wiser and all would be well but then before i could execute this fine plan a little voice in my head went "so this is some light yagami bull shit you are about to pull" which was such a violent reality check it shocked me completely out of my embarrassment and i went "hey im so sorry your name has slipped my mind could you remind me" and he did and it was fine.
"This is some Light Yagami bull shit you are about to pull" <- Littany against avoiding small embarrassing/awkward moments that don't matter with over the top ass mind games.

Gotta be at the office for the gastro consultation at 8:15, which means we gotta leave at 7:30 because interstates gonna be a huge pain in the ass, which means between my stomach and my brain, I'm probably not gonna be sleeping.
Today in australia they started senate hearings on the bill the government hopes will make enough disabled people die or disappear to make us all less irritatingly expensive for them. We had two weeks to submit feedback on over 400 pages of complicated legal terms. They don't care what we have to say and they don’t care that this will kill people and disenfranchise disabled people across the country.
There are 760,000 Australians on the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the system that - if they feel like it and your personalised plan says you get to have it - provides funding for everything from personal hygiene care to support workers to therapies to assistive technology. It's already very hard for disabled people to get on the NDIS, regardless of your disability. It's near impossible to access most support and equipment without being on the NDIS. And the government has announced that they want that number to drop to 600,000 in four years. 160,000 of us cut off the Scheme - and countless more denied access. This will cause deaths. People will die and people will suffer because there is no safety net. The NDIS is the only option for most of us. Even private health insurance doesn't cover most of these things. Nobody will swoop in to save us.
The bill wants to give the (non disabled!) NDIS minister basically unlimited power to cut our funding. They're already planning what they'd do with that power. What rights they'll strip from us. What dignity and freedom they'll remove to make their budget look better.
The bill wants to force people to try every treatment out there before they're allowed to be on the NDIS. Including if the treatment is literally impossible to access. There’s a lot of us living in regional areas or out bush who can't just pop to the capital cities for specialists. This will especially hurt disabled First Nations people in regional and remote communities, who already experience limited access to healthcare. Oh, and it includes chemical restraint, too. The government has directly refused to exclude chemical restraint from the required process, calling it "trialling medication".
If you're australian and worried, the ABC did a good breakdown of the proposed changes.
I know australia stuff doesn't really pop up on the radar on this site, but I want everyone to know what's going on. What we're fighting for here. Your australian disabled friends might be NDIS participants fearing for their life, rights, and freedom. They might not be a participant and afraid these changes mean they never will have access. We deserve better. The government built a system with no backup plan, and now they want hundreds of thousands of disabled people to pay the price for their bad planning.
Sorry we're too expensive to have rights, I guess.
If you don't already know how to submit a comment, I believe this site has information. But if anyone has better information, feel free to add on to help others speak up!
One of my least favorite flavors of OCD is the "Faker Spiral," where you get referred over a sickness, but it takes weeks or months for the appointment date to arrive and you get to deal with "But what if I magically get better on the exact day of the doctor visit and they think I've been faking all this time?"
it hasn't happened with this particular sickness, but there have been times before where I got so deep in my head over this shit that I can't be sure whether or not I might have sabotaged my recovery trying not to be a "faker".

Most of the cast of And Then There Were None answered this question with something like “Ooh I could never kill anyone. I’d have to poison them and run away”. Not Sam Neill.

I love it when someone asks you something and you respond in good faith and they *immediately* reveal they were just asking to be an asshole, but continue to demand more info. Like nah, dude, you failed sealioning 101, I ain't wasting more time on you.
