This applies whether other designers require it or not, you include full text or just the name of the tool, you rewrite or paraphrase it, or you use one part of it or more. 1/2

#introduction
Try to be brief!

I'm Beau Jàgr Sheldon, creator of the Script Change RPG Toolbox, Turn, The Man and The Stag, + indie & other works at Thoughty.itch.io, IndiePressRevolution, & DriveThruRPG. DaedalumAP is with @johnwsheldon , my spouse & design partner. Assembludo is with my partner Thomas Novosel, & make dice & more at ShopJaydot. I used to run Thoughty Blog, now I do consultation, photography, & more. I'm disabled, neurodivergent, queer, polyam, & nonbinary-masc.

I spent the day hyping myself up to shower, but it fills me with deep fear & anxiety. Even with just candles lit, music playing, a shower chair, door open & only the clear plastic shower curtain there so I could see, I still ended up in tears, full body shaking, & massively in pain afterwards.

You don't know why someone struggles with hygiene. Shaming is never the best route to help. Providing info is great, but don't judge. (2/2)

If you have ever in your life criticized someone's hygiene practices, regardless of the issue you perceive, I'd like you to consider my situation today.

I needed to get clean, beyond just washing up with a washcloth. I'm disabled, & have physical limitations, plus trauma from being assaulted in the shower and bath. I also have a pretty intense fear of water, like a proper phobia. (1/2)

random thought: I know there are a lot more progressive younger guys than it seems, and I also think that largely younger guys are in a good position to be educated & encouraged to take on progressive perspectives and become allies. I genuinely wonder how unrealistic it would be to bring frat guys en masse to progressivism through autonomy, healthcare, & privacy rights. (I don't think fiscal would work as well.)

just kind of thinking aloud, not looking to debate.

I like taking photos, a lot actually, but I'm very slow to edit them because 1) all editing software is clunky trash, 2) my disabilities don't interact well with screen staring & fine motor movements, & 3) it makes me feel FEELINGS about whether my work is good or bad or just mediocre as fuck. However, I have like 1500 photos to sort, narrow down, edit the remainder, export, & backup...from ONE memory card.

I'm gonna die, frankly.(included: some faves from a recent park excursion)

Prescribed Bactrum, hopefully addressing both potential lymph node infection & likely UTI simultaneously, then I'll follow up w/PCP if the lymph doesn't fade, go to ER if the UTI spreads further.

They're gonna double check for chlamydia & gonorrhea just in case I somehow got reinfected. I need to major sterilize ALL of my toys, too, like proper boil or something, to ensure that nothing is carrying over bacteria wise, bleh. 🙁

I have like, a bunch of doc appts this week and next already, but I'm at urgent care because I've got some Fun Symptoms (maybe swollen lymph node, almost definitely a UTI bc my body is broken & my immune system sucks, and potentially some kind of virus or cold because of extra bad fatigue+pain+can't tell if these symptoms are allergies stuff going on. Doesn't look COVID, but with my luck, maybe mono or an infection otherwise. Ugh. I'd like a break from doctors.
