You can now stream the #EDS movie COMPLICATED from Open Eye Pictures at home for $14.98 USD. (Unsure about abroad.) I did, and bawled my eyes out, OMG! It's powerful! Have mast cell meds ready!

COMPLICATED
Children with complex illnesses and their families are labeled “too complicated” or torn apart by accusations of medical child abuse.

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.

I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion

People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

I made a tool that turns PCB designs into 3D-printable molds. you sandwich copper tape between the parts, sand the ridges, and you have a real working PCB. no etching, no chemicals. I am losing my mind

Every little bit counts. Three seconds at the most to hit the repost button. Why wouldn't you?
This is terrible misery—we are freezing. My child’s arm was broken when the tent collapsed, and with mitral valve prolapse I developed shoulder tendon inflammation from the cold. I urgently need 200€ for treatment and blankets for my 5 kids

Another day on Bluesky.
Another day of political posts that I can't read because people here hate disabled people & refuse to use #AltText. By the time I've passed the 10th image I can't read, the whole app becomes pointless.
I just passed 30 images on my feed, follow not discover, with zero #AltText. Yes, I counted. So I'm done with BS for the day. I'm not putting myself out there for everyone if the bare minimum of being accessible is so hard for all of you. Yes, you. Again, my follow feed. Thought y'all were better.

Black folks MUST PERFORM THEIR DISTRESS in a sanitised way because heaven forfend a white person become UNCOMFORTABLE!

God forbid a moment of reflection or twinge of guilt should occur! Unacceptable. Much better to block them and forget they exist 👀

Yesterday I watched an 1 hour 20 minutes of a movie, failed to write down when I stopped it, returned 3 hours later--

and it took me THIRTY MINUTES too figure out where I'd left off. Only 15 minutes were left and I watched close to 45.

I feel like I'm too stupid to.. watch TV?

I feel like I don't have a right to talk about myself here in public. But also I'm having a really hard time understanding people, or making sentences that say what I meant them to say.

Those go together *terribly*.
