Sir Terry Pratchett. Actually, probably counts as multiple because the opening to The Shepherds Crown makes me bawl like a child, and it’s pretty much a step-by-step guide for mourning.

Discworld has been my comfort series for a long time. I have read most of the books more times than I can count. Spent months tearing through multiple a day.

Of course, his condition was known amongst the fans, we had all known it was going to be sooner than later, but it felt like a long chapter of my life was closed. I had looked forward to every release, cherished them. The man’s work had been beside me through some of the hardest times, always bringing a smile back to my face.

Pretty often. I remember when I first came out exploring my gender identity, getting active on the Trans subs, I got hit by at least a couple. Felt really shitty, and wasn’t an uncommon issue from the complaints I saw surrounding it.

Technically speaking, working. But given that it takes at least 45 minutes to start on my next step, and there’s also inventory prep going on, I’m hiding out of the way for as long as possible.

I had to borrow a car, it was going to be a 20 minute round trip, person and I sit roughly the same way, so I didn’t think to adjust the seat. It wasn’t terribly uncomfortable, just not exactly right.

Ended up pinching a nerve in my back. Could barely move for 3 days, had to delay starting a job because of it.
