I’m old enough to make some of these jokes now.

One of the things that I love doing is monitoring my credit. It’s different in the different bureaus (which is, as I know, to be expected), but within the different… scoring models, is also different there, and when you have a sense of humor like mine, that can get amusing. Oh, why can’t all of these be the same? Why can’t there be just one credit score? (I know, I know. Seriously, I know. I’m old enough to joke and lament about this now.)

On to things that are very much not actual jokes now, though…

It still hits hard that Jason David Frank is actually gone, and why he is gone. I’ve still been trying as hard as I can not to actually talk about the cause of his death, which has been confirmed, because I don’t want to throw that into people’s faces — I don’t want to cause them distress or trigger them, so I leave it at the fact that yes, he has regrettably passed away. I did get the chance to watch the celebration of life that his loved ones allowed to be livestreamed on his official Facebook fan page, though. In the interim (November 22nd, to be exact), I’ve begun to develop almost excruciating back pain — sciatica — that I began treating with prednisone, which it was really rather responsive to, but I know that I can’t stay on prednisone forever due to the side effects… so it returned within about a day and a half of me stopping prednisone, and my care team has become aware of this. If sciatica came about due to the frequent prednisone use I’ve needed due to asthma and migraines, this would not surprise me at all, though… but this has become painful. I hate pain.

If Tumblr IP bans me for this, it’s for the best.

I’ve decided to make another account on Tumblr since it seems that no matter how much I warn people on social media about their critical site security issues, all of which continue to remain open (you know, the ones that I’ve periodically mentioned going back as early as May of 2022 when they were hacked and refused to mention it or patch the exploit that hackers were using to gain unauthorized access to their site?), I might as well make an account on Tumblr and use that account to discuss their site security issues. I am also open to discussing the other issues that Tumblr has that they refuse to fix, and there are no shortage of those. Again, it’s not going to bother me if their response to me doing this is to suspend my account and IP ban me from their site, as it will only prove that what I was saying about their site security issues — and other issues — were accurate. Tumblr has had some potential, and would have even more potential if they were ever amenable to fixing these issues, even if some people… make fun of the content that’s been up on their site (and the content that continues to go up on their site). That’s neither here nor there, I suppose. My favorite blog will always be here, though. This will always be the blog that I continue to prioritize. But for the sake of continuing to shitpost about Tumblr’s abhorrent site security and all the other things wrong with them…

Let’s see how long this stays up and what Tumblr’s official reaction to this if and when they find out about it.

I mean, in a truly nihilistic world, they could go the way of Twitter with no competent hands left on deck.

I can’t say that it’s not par for the course, but…

I’ve been continuing to have… worsening symptoms of migraines, so that’s being managed.

Why that suddenly decided to get worse after being stable for the longest time, I’m still not quite sure.

I’m not going to get into much more detail than that about them unless they get so bad that I have to go to the emergency room or become hospitalized for them, and I’ve been told when to present where for them. However, it continues to be a joke for any of those who think that I can hold down a conventional job right now… or at any time in the future based on how things continue to look. This is one of the reasons why I am not streaming right now (well, one of the main reasons if you extrapolate it into the whole health thing…).

I posted about them on Facebook though in the event that emergency room or hospitalization thing happen.
