Do you think I can ask my doctor to put ‘her job is based on federal funding’* in my chart so they can stop asking me about why I’m stressed/have high blood presssure

Had my first real therapy appt today (last week was a consult), which was overall great & so much better than I expected given the dread that came from previous Christian counseling I was forced into. But now I feel weird that I talked to someone for an hour & know basically nothing about her.

I need more people to understand that their running lights are only in the front, so if it’s foggy or raining and I’m driving behind you, I can’t freaking see you. Stop relying on the auto-setting for your car lights and endangering both yourself and the rest of us.

So per instructions I called the practice from yesterday about an ADHD screening. Had to leave a VM. They called me back & asked me a bunch of questions I feel like I answered on the intake forms & I got so flustered I forgot to ask about ADHD & now I have a therapy appt I didn’t want next week.

I reached my OOP max for my health insurance back in April & today decided to try and get screened for ADHD before it resets in January. So I spent time figuring out how, finding a covered provider, completing intake forms and a questionnaire, & now they want me to CALL them

Saying that someone doesn’t deserve to be a senator isn’t canceling them, that is the public opinion candidates are subject to in a democracy.

The unrepentant face of someone who woke me up at 2:23am barking so I would refill her food dish, and then, having not eaten a single morsel, followed me into the bathroom and growled at me until I followed her back to bed. Where she promptly fell deeply asleep.

I’m not saying this makes sense, but a piece of information I cannot retain for longer than five minutes is that Anton Du Beke is a distinct, actual person and not a drag act inspired by Ant & Dec.

The way I woke up two hours before my alarm stressed out of my mind AND came to work 90 minutes early AND today is the most productive workday I’ve had all week AND somehow my to-do list is longer at the end of it AND on a Friday?!?

refusing to accept this isn’t just about “purity” or whatever, it’s about effective politics. someone who thinks it’s practical to cave on trans rights misunderstands how politics works, they don’t recognize that public opinion is forged by perseverance
Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader?
I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.

I hate working from home but I also hate how 90% of the people in my office actively refuse to use headphones & put their volume up so loud I can hear their calls through my walls/door/music I’m playing through noise-cancelling headphones.
