According to my Dr, my brain waking me up at 6 or 7 am consistently and not being able to fall back asleep, does not count as insomnia and I am just old now

Me (an xennial w/ years of medical trauma from dismissive gen x & boomer Drs): goes into Dr appt all spooked with a list of points to defend the validity of my symptoms
My millennial Dr: asks questions and orders what tests she can to confirm the comorbidities I came to get dxed with

About to jump on a zoom Dr appt. Really wish it didn't make me so anxious I'm shaking. But years of being dismissed and gaslit will do that to a person.
I already sent her a list of all the symptoms I want to talk about. And I have all my notes ready in front of me...

I've never found a hobby yet that wasn't hard on my joints.
And yes I'm saying I have hurt myself reading books...

Honestly, stacking tasks I'm likely to forget, like taking my supplements, on top of routines I won't forget, like morning animal care, is one of my best adhd hacks.

My back is pretty mad that my hyperfocus called me back to finish a second block. But that's turquoise done.
And I feel more emotionally regulated

Took the opportunity of my dad's phone call on my birthday to tell him why I think he's autistic, and his alcoholic dad probably was too. As a little treat.

Happy Halloween to all my fellow spooky spoonies.
I don't have any plans this year, and honestly don't want them after the horrible flu I caught going out to a crowded drag show last year despite being masked, and half the audience also being masked.
Nevermind my birthday in a few days...

One of the things I love about quilting solely with scraps saved from many decades worth of clothing and costume construction is the memories associated with each item made from those fabrics, and how magical it feels to stitch them into a quilt. Tho the garments may be long gone, outgrown, worn out

I tried to rest all day. But then the game came on and I retreated to my work room, where I ended up squeezing out 2 last crumb quilt blocks from my meager supply of yellow scraps

So close to finishing all the crumb quilt blocks I can taste it. But cranking out 6 in the past 2 days may have been more than my chronic pain can take. Might have to force myself to rest today.
Only 11 more to go!

Right-wing agitators at the Portland ICE facility appear to have committed multiple illegal acts on Saturday night.
Not included in this video is the crowd going to a resident’s apartment across from the ICE facility and live-streaming their harassment.

As a former vegetarian I wish I didn't have to rely on meat for protein, and miss when we could afford buying humanely raised & local from the farmers market.
But gods, the list of foods I can't eat is long now.
We're not even on SNAP anymore cuz keeping up with all the paperwork was overwhelming

“Just eat rice & beans! It’s cheap & healthy!”
I’m allergic to both rice & beans. I’m not alone
Some people lack the physical capacity to cook
Sometimes the most affordable option isn’t an option.
Food isn’t one size fits all & disabilities are complicated.
Believe us when we say we need help

Well, if I've learned one thing today, it's that I can't treat the feeds I follow on here like my groups back on fb.
Even tho I've made some "friends" thru random engagement, I'm just as likely to cock things up with good ol fashioned 'tism bluntness and overfamiliarity

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Kinda makes me wish I'd bought that unicorn inflatable I had my eye on back in 2020 when I thought it would be funny for social distancing
First, they ignore you. Then, they laugh at you. Next, they jack up prices to be you. Then you win.
The Frog Costume has gone from $25 to almost $40 on amazon over the last week. There's an army brewing.

This random hot day has my dysautonomia shit all flared up, perfect timing to go get the updated covid & flu vax I've been procrastinating. But I need to make sure I have enough days to recover before attending my friends' wedding on Sunday, so let's go!

I'm so fucking tired of being chronically ill and anxious about money all the time. The future is so uncertain for so many of us. We could have universal healthcare and universal basic income, but instead we have to fight creeping authoritarianism and claw for scraps
