After giving it a lot of thought, I’ve decided to join the Coven of Satan (and Queer Satanists) rather than affiliate with The Satanic Temple. There were certain things about The Satanic Temple that did not sit well with me, although I continue to like the work that Shiva Honey does within The Satanic Temple. It’s all really confusing. However, I feel like it’s the best thing for me to do right now — my values align with the Coven of Satan and Queer Satanists more than they do The Satanic Temple, so it only seems fitting and right that I affiliate myself with the coven (or group, or temple) that best fits those values. I think I’ll keep the flag that I have for The Satanic Temple in my room and the certificate that says that I am a member, but over time I may cover those up with Coven of Satan stuff. It all depends. I need to check their shop out sometime, heh.

And as for my birthday, which is coming up, all I want is Etsy gift cards. I want kandi bracelets and perler necklaces. I’m finally living the life that I want to live and dressing how I want to dress (as when my mother bought me clothes and jewelry, it was never anything that I could actually wear, and it was apparent that she was dressing the daughter that she didn’t have because I was not and never would be that person).

But I mean, shouldn’t I have expected this?

Predictably, that comment that I reported to that dude’s Human Relations department “didn’t violate Facebook community standards”, even though his own job thanked me for reporting it to them and told me that the HR department and his manager would be speaking to him about the inappropriateness of things he said on his off time that reflected poorly on the job as a whole (which hilariously caused him to delete the entire comment as though none of it happened). This doesn’t surprise me though. Facebook didn’t take down a comment I’d reported like… eons ago, when it happened, where a man stated that he wanted to commit arson on a child support office with the workers inside, and then their Oversight Board literally refused to do anything about a violent threat. At this point, I don’t expect anything substantial from Facebook any more.

Facebook doesn’t like leftist advocates, especially when they are AFAB or women, and it really, really shows.

I am never taking this stuff again, I swear.

The amoxicillin that I finish taking today has given me some of the worst migraines of my life, so I’m going to ask at the next consult of mine that requires the use of them if… something else other than amoxicillin can be given. Usually Fioricet helps to a point, making things bearable even when it does not fully help, but we’ve been at the point now where it is not helping at all. Without consulting my medical history, someone asked me “if I could take aspirin” or “if I could take Ibuprofen”, not knowing that my asthma reacts to those and that I would have to be on albuterol, Benadryl, and prednisone to even have a shot. If this keeps up though I’m going to single-dose prednisone to make life bearable until I am actually done with this antibiotic. Although I concede that amoxicillin helped with the gum and jaw infection that prednisone… gave me, I do not want to have to take the poison to “get rid” of the poison. This is literally the name of the chronically ill game, I swear.

I hate the side effects of prednisone, don’t get me wrong, but I really hate being in severe pain. It is what it is.

And I actually mean it when I say “I’m never taking this stuff again”. I’m asking for another antibiotic.
