<p>7/17/23 - I still feel awful. I didn't do much. I listened to a lot of the <a
href="https://sadboyzpod.com/">Sad Boyz</a> podcast with my eyes closed. Its soft masc
goodness.</p>

<p>7/18/23 - My head is still awful, but my body doesn't feel punched all over. Progress! I
have a dr appt today. Radiology to test my bone density. This is due to medicine I am taking
that could possibly thin my bone desnity.</p>

<p>My usb came in. I am going to put Linux Lite on it. I want a more private OS/web
experience. I also want to archive websites/documents. Stuff I'm not sure will be accessible
in the coming years. Wayback/Archive.org is nice, but again will it last forever?</p>

<p>I'm even using Tor now! But probably best on a Linux OS.</p>

<p>Trying to download Linux Lite for my usb. Crossing my fingers, it already failed once but
I don't want to torrent. </p>

<p>I wonder if I should describe my entire testing linux lite saga. Its peak noob
foolishness. I didn't realize the Os would not save. I'm still not sure how to accomplish
this. I also activated windows bitlocker (windows is my main os currently) and was fighting
with my various microsoft accounts to find the key so I could get back into windows. Which
has all of my logins and some documents I want to back up.</p>

<p>I received a reading recommendation from grende184. I'm about halfway through it. I will
probably give it another go as I don't trust my sick brain memory. But what I did get, was
thoughtful and made me reflect on my own thoughts regarding folk like arts, artists, etc.

<p>Games I played before I got sick (online twine games):</p>

<ul> <li>I just played a game called <a
   href="https://cyberfemmeproject.github.io/StrangersContact/index.html">Stranger's
   Contact</a>. Its a Twine game that is intentionally unpleasant to play, as it is about
   being a 15 year old girl being pestered by creeps on the internet. The experience of
   clicking around and the text styling is rather slick. I recommend it as an experience and
   to see what folk can do with Twine.</li> <li><a
   href="https://8bqtndhc.play.borogove.io/">One Killer, Six Suspects</a> - I enjoyed this
   one, and its interesting how the murderer can change depending on your choices. A solid
   mystery.</li> <li>Now I'm playing <a
   href="http://astriddalmady.com/FaerieFood.html">Beware The Faerie Food You Eat by Astrid
   Dalmady</a>. Incredibly atmospheric. I keep dying horribly. It makes sense.</li>
</ul>

<p>Podcasts/Videos I want to share as they are really good.</p>
<ul>
   <li><a href="">Que Dijo? A Queer Latino Podcast</a> - I really like the light-hearted
   conversational tone of this one. Although some topics are serious like sexual health, to
   the much less serious.</li> <li><a href="https://youtu.be/6DHgkMYgp7w">The Mass
   Extinction Debates: A Science Communication Odyssey</a> - If you ever wondered about the
   scientific process or been confused, this is a long yet accessible journey towards what
   is scientific truth.</li> <li><a href="https://youtu.be/Tbj3oEthdpo">Why Does Greek Music
   Sound Eastern? - And Why It's a Dumb Question</a> - an hour long ramble of an Iranian
   regarding Greek music. Also his channel in general has some awesome music if you like
   traditional/classic music.</li> <li><a
   href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf2i23hONDQ&pp=ygUXRXZlcnl0aGluZyBNdXN0IEdvIDIwMTA%3D">Everything
   Must Go (2010)</a> - A free (at time of watching) feature length film. Its a dramatic
   film starring Will Ferrell (yes that one) starring a man who loses everything and the few
   days right after.</li>
