I just got every record of my interactions with psychiatric services in NL. This includes an interview with my mother about my childhood. I had never seen this before.
It is the most magnificent short work of fiction you will *ever* see.
I am flabbergasted by how wrong it is. Lost for words.
Wow.

I really will be sad to move from my GPs catchment area. They are excellent, even at 8.30 in the morning. I can't think of another GP I've been able to say that about in 25 years (and many GPs, I've moved around a lot).

That thing where a fair proportion of your friends are in 'civil discourse' mode but you've moved to 'let it all burn' mode on a hot button issue.
TBF it's entirely possible other people don't have that mode at all? Maybe that's why they can't recognise or engage with it.

Am exceedingly grateful for feeling normal for 15 minutes this morning, but have spent the rest of the day lying down because my spinal fluid is leaking. *frowns at spine* stop that.

Woke up feeling... normal?! Luckily it didn't last long. Otherwise I'd be suspicious. Now, internet, tell me what I should eat for breakfast that involves eggs, but the bread's run out? Google thinks I want low carb recipes. I do not. Just... different carbs.

Happy to see the female equivalent to the terrifying crocheted jockstraps of yesteryear.

A month and a half without muscle relaxants has unlocked a new un-skill: mashing up avocado is apparently really hard now?
2 minutes of mashing gives me the hand cramp you'd usually get after a two hour written exam.

Youtube decided to serve me 15 year old content (which I loved at the time, so it's probably my own fault). How is this STILL SO RELEVANT?! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eBT...

Oof. Things are not going well, pain wise. I'm currently at the point where I'm taking pain meds, waiting a bit, then taking the rest. Without a muscle relaxant I feel like I'm being slowly squeezed to death by my own body.

I am dipping my freshly baked samosas in hummus. New cross-cultural delight? Or some fresh Frankenstein's monster?
We shall see.

Why does the fb logo suddenly look so faded and glitchy when you load the app on an iphone? Can't screenshot it, it happens too fast. But it looks proper odd.

All research skills seminars need to include this kind of thing. Academia has been on the back foot to the fake information machines for too long already.

According to a thing I just saw, it only takes 250 corrupted documents to break an AI. Can we do that please? To all of them? Human gullibility has reached terrifying levels.

More than a week of huge illness flare (thanks for deleting my account, amzn), and now csf leak fun times (this means horrible cognitive issues and much lying down). At least allergy has sodded off?! Must've been leaf mould after all. Phew. *lies down some more*

I'm tired. Got some of my brain back by tweaking my bipap settings. Genuinely amazing. Three days later hit by a huge allergy attack where I cannot identify the culprit and it's still there three weeks later. Just can't win. So tired.

Slightly incandescent right now. Asked amazon to delete an inactive account. They deleted my active account instead. You can't even get the customer support number without logging in. Books gone, prime gone, everything.
