I had a nasty face-plant into a wall last week, and spent much of the last 10days with a cervical collar, healing a neck sprain, and some face damage.
Thankfully I'm mostly healed, other than a sore knee that has been cutting into my afternoon-walk opportunities.
Ready for spring activities once I'm done with this.
Good reminder not to take one's #health for granted - it can change pretty suddenly.

Rainbow’s Week, Sept 18 2025
So, this is not exactly a weekly update, huh? The last one was September 7, 11 days ago. Oh well. This one can be Rainbow’s Almost-Fortnight.
To say hi, my name is Azure, and I’m a member of a plural system, which means multiple people in one bodymind. We share the name Rainbow and they/them pronouns. We are multiply disabled (autism, PTSD, ME/CFS, and others) and require assistive devices and caregivers.
This week-and-a-bit was actually even rougher than the previous week. I got majorly triggered twice again, and my executive dysfunction issues are even worse now. I think it’s because I changed depression medications. This new one does not seem to be doing much.
To follow up on the previous update:
1. The tasking hour did not work out. We can’t even handle an hour a day of tasks.
2. I’m still frontstuck (stuck in charge of the body).
3. The hair washing idea worked out! It actually works really well. I’m so glad.
New happenings:
1. I’ve been video calling a lot with people we’re close to. We’ve figured out a way to accommodate our autistic burnout: they speak, and we type. It requires a bit of gymnastics on Discord (I’ve been doing two browser windows side by side).
2. Four whole medical appointments and a vaccination (yay vaccines). I’m so tired. At least everyone accommodated our need to type instead of speak without question! I wish our phone had a louder speaker, sigh.
3. Lots of special interest time!! I’ve been working on our personal website, researching and using paid survey sites and stuff (which is, weirdly enough, a special interest), making spreadsheets, and writing blog posts about the survey/etc. sites.
Website: Since the previous “Rainbow’s week” update, using only online articles so far (as opposed to one-on-one help), I’ve added an RSS feed, a comment widget from online, blog post tags and tag sorting (coded manually), a custom domain, and a favicon (Wikipedia link). I have tried and failed to add mobile optimization… maybe later. I’m told it’s readable on mobile as is. Here is the website if you want to look at it!
Paid survey sites: I’ve been really excited about this! It certainly isn’t a well-paid job, but for what it is and how accessible it is to me, I’m impressed by how much I’ve earned so far. And I’ve just been having fun with it! I made a spreadsheet to track each site/app each day, just because I wanted to. I had fun with the functions.
Blog posts: I’ve only written one new one since last “Rainbow’s Week” update, but I’ve been updating the one I wrote last week. Now there are six sites/apps listed, with HTML anchors so it’s possible to click on a link at the top of the page and jump partway down the page. I think that’s cool! Yay organization!
Thank you for reading! I hope your week was okay!

Likes 3 Good Things, an exercise in joy …
Likes 3 Good Things, an exercise in joy – Sylvia’s Noodling Nook. A bit more joy on the Internet, yay! I’m obviously not going to do daily (posting here monthly is already a struggle) but here’s one for this week still: went to my city’s lovely outdoor swimming pool before it closes on September 1st…

#update #PersonalUpdate Haven't been posting lately because I've been SUPER busy, not because anything bad is going on - well, that kind of is, too, but the main reason is that I'm in the middle of doing a show a night until Sunday, and all of these require a lot of #prep ...so I've been in head-down mode. I will reemerge next week in all likelihood. -
overinformation cleanup
I have been overwhelmed recently, so I followed some of Tracy's practices:
Removed my RSS Reader from my phone's home screen (but not from the app menu, for now)
Unsubscribed from all large news sources and signed up for their weekly newsletter instead (wherever possible, I will receive the newsletter in my RSS Reader). That's L'Équipe, Les Jours, Le Monde and Libération

My goals for 2025
I don't really do goals.
Or rather, I make a giant list of more or less important and ambitious goals in December, try things out, and re-prioritize somewhere around my birthday (end of March) for what will be the closest thing there is to an actual yearly goals list.
For 2024, I had 8 goals. I achieved two, failed one, and the other five just… disappeared. On December 25, 2024, I can report

Not taking a break, just swamped with the volume of things requiring attention -- iow typical November -- which seems also to involve creating some redundancy in how I follow topics of interest. #PersonalUpdate

massive updates on my Now page
it's funny all that can happen in a month.
nothing too life-changing, just several changes where I usually update just one detail.
check it out: https://alexsirac.com/now/
and see you probably tomorrow for the monthly review, because today is shaping up to be hectic (and because I still haven't bothered to install Obsidian on my work computer)

I’m leaving Meta
Yesterday was my last day at Meta after nearly six years there (whoa!). It’s been an incredible journey during which I’ve learned so much − about localization, the tech industry, and myself as well.
A short look back
Starting as a Localization Editor was my first deep dive into understanding what makes French audiences unique for businesses. (Did this make me even more insufferably proud of my nat -
Auditing my social media use and news consumption
I'm following Elizabeth's example here, as I think her template is excellent and very easy to follow. My relationship to news and social media has drastically changed in the past couple of years, and I'm happy to say I've been having a much more positive approach to social media especially − I was extremely addicted and active a

100 day challenge: no more squats, hello photos
After 28 completed days of the « 100 squats per day » challenge, I have to stop. I started the challenge to gain muscle in my legs and reinforce my knee, which went great for a few weeks. Now, my knee is hurting again, clearly because it's too tired. It needs rest, and a 100-day challenge around one muscle set was not a

Torche olympique
Hier, j'ai porté la flamme olympique à Valence, et c'était vraiment très cool ! (Pour la « lettre de motivation » qui m'a valu ça, avec le soutien de Meta et de Coca-Cola, c'est par ici.)
Là, c'est moi avec la flamme, dans le centre des relayeurs, histoire d'avoir une photo avant de démarrer.
Ensuite, on s'est tranquillement rendus à nos points de départs, avec deux autres sportifs qui

Une petite histoire en 20 ans
Vingt ans d'histoire sur glace (et surtout à côté), en 500 mots tout pile, qui m'ont servi de « lettre de motivation » pour porter la flamme olympique, ce que j'ai finalement fait hier à Valence.
À quinze ans, après avoir fêté mon premier podium national en senior, j'ai quitté le foyer familial, arrêté l'école, et commencé à m'entraîner six heures par jour.

My weekend wasn't too bad.
Actually, pretty good.
Today: Good weather. Got a couple of little things taken care of outside that have been gnawing away at the back of my mind. Perhaps the cats will appreciate my efforts. Took Kayla to get setup for WIC, and had breakfast afterward, and did a little shopping.Yesterday: Breakfast with Kayla and the girls. Shopping, and cleaned some places in the house that hadn't had a GOOD cleaning for a bit.
