    • trigger warning: diet, weight, eating disorders
      • it was 2017 when i last lost a huge amount of weight. i lost about half my weight.
        • i used keto
        • eventually i realised, sometime in 2018, that thinking about food all the time and counting calories in an app was disordered
          • i've struggled with bulimia in the past, and various other mental and dietary issues
            • i was sectioned a number of years ago, so i try to be careful about cultivating new and interesting disorders
        • i decided to stop dieting, to let myself gain weight and not feel bad about it
        • i have a blood test from 2018 which shows my blood sugar was fine
        • so now i know that giving myself a break has literally given me diabetes
        • and the way to live with diabetes is to go on a diet almost identical to keto
        • what an exciting new challenge
        • what a depressing, yet thematically sound, series of events
    • i've been sick most of this week
      • physically
      • though mentally i am not doing well
        • i am not looking forward to the next part of my life
        • i don't know how to cook for myself without rice
        • i don't know how to be alone
        • sometimes i have this warm and comforting daydream where i die in my sleep
    • i set up backups on my laptop and the snoot.club server this morning
      • i'm using borg
        • because fox told me to

          • basically borg and restic is where the deduplicated encryption backup stuff is at Foxboron

        • it is a cool piece of software though

    • i was going to look into adding a gutenberg sidebar for the indieweb Post Kinds wordpress plugin this weekend, but instead i closed my laptop and had a lie down
    • i bought the Besley* and Jost* variable fonts from indestructible type* for my weblog
      • Jost* is the variable futura of my dreams
      • here is another great font: https://www.dafont.com/w95fa.font
        • i'm using this as my system font at the moment. it looks great.

    • remember when they reanimated bob monkhouse's ashen corpse so he could appear in an advert on terrestrial television
