Bashir is no longer stable so we are taking him to CARE in Charlotte. We dont know what the cost will be but they have cardiology on staff there it looks like 24/7 so the drive will hopefully be worth it.

PayPal is mday1221 and my venmo is mtday1221.

Hey, this is my friend. They've had so much happen so soon and just lost their other cat to heart issues. If you can help, please do.
Get her on some meds to help her but we dont know right now. We're still struggling and do not know the cost.

Bashir's vet vist Monday is gonna be $600, and we don't know what its gonna be tomorrow for Nibbler.

If you can help my PayPal is mday1221 and my venmo is mtday1221.

So much so soon >.< Argh
Do you have a crowdfund link or something?
I'm sorry I can't offer help more directly, I'm in finance doom as per usual
November 8, 2025 at 8:02 PM
Fuck, I'm so sorry >.< Not this shit again so soon

For years I mocked the psychiatrist for including "chronic sympathy for underdogs" in my psych eval when I was tested for ADHD at 17 after I went on rants about shit like the basic human right to housing

And only now did I realize she was alluding to Justice Sensitivity, an ADHD trait. Whoops.

I remember that constant refrain in my childhood being to pick my battles.
And they're right sorta and I have to but what they actually meant was that I shouldn't fight at all because caring was somehow wrong and the amount of battles they wanted me to pick was zero.
It's exhausting and frustrating.

No I don't think I am permitted to go garage diving for summer-appropriate footwear. Snoopervisor says no.
(Damnit snoopervisor that thing's shoved in a corner because it's broken!)

Ok I also got angry when I got back on said meds after a year off them because I'd forgotten and all the usual fog and unkind narratives about myself had crept back in but still
November 8, 2025 at 7:39 PM
10/10 take. No notes.
November 8, 2025 at 7:37 PM
And I got so angry when I got on meds the first time and got to feel this more consistently to notice that yeah the pride isn't there it's just relief. Somebody didn't plug that bit into my brain. It's not fair.

We don't feel good that a task is done; we feel the absence of dread now that it's no longer hanging over our head.

That's just the best we get - a temporary absence of stress or panic - and it just feels good by comparison.

Relief, not joy or pride.
I've been explaining to my mom what ADHD is like because we've got ppl in our lives affected by it and the looks of horror she gets when I get to the part about how the feeling of reward after completing a task is just not there and how that makes it so much harder to start the task -

... Oops. Things went click. I have possibly been hunched in stressed autistic raptor posture for some time.
November 8, 2025 at 7:35 PM
oh no! fuck I'm so sorry >.< It's not heart issues is it?

My stupid current govt has done a lot of stupid things of late. But this infuriates me in a shiny new way. They talk about making NZ an attractive business proposition, and yet they deny NZ literature and publishing it's moment on a global pedestal? Hateful, short-sighted, hypocritical f***wits.

As new folks are coming, I'm thinking again about the early accessibility conversations we had here, and I keep coming back to the thoughts in this thread.
So there's a book I love - This Alien Shore - that imagines a future where humanity has (because of sci-fi plot magic) evolved into a wide array of different forms.

I'd like to do a brief thread, and highlight two scenes, that are directly relevant to the design here on Bluesky.🧵

Here’s the bottom line for what’s going on with Grok - if the owner of the website is putting his thumb on the scale hard enough for the chatbot to turn into Goebbels, you should be deeply concerned about what he’s doing to the algorithm that you can’t so easily see, and what it’s doing to you

‘Some’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. AI needs to fuck right off out if education. It does not and CANNOT do what you’re pushing for. You want to do something for education? Take a hard stand against the usage of genAI and get it banned so students learn the skills they’re supposed to.

The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps.

It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

Some of this massive counter-reaction in Aotearoa is *because* we had a science-driven/community-focused response...

...since some demographics (rich, pakeha, male) FLIPPED OUT at being told what to do by people they felt they should only ever hear on THEIR terms. #nzpol
What's most shocking about all this is the speed at which it's happening.
We went from the science-driven, community-focused covid response to this unholy shambles in a couple of years. It's government by vibes and the reckons of a few greedy self-absorbed malcontents.

The widespread “of course I’m staying on the Sieg Heil guy’s website with the programmed-to-be-pro-Hitler AI chatbot” combined with the government’s “we have to destroy higher education in America to stop antisemitism” is pretty bleak, ngl.
I gotta say, as a Jew, it’s incredibly fucked up and sad that Elon Musk and Grok being Nazi sympathizers hasn’t caused a mass exodus (or coordinated boycott) from X.

I don’t like to shame people for what is clearly a failure of collective action, but honestly, what the fuck?
