Oh god not another one of these

Right okay I’m a queer trans parent ADHD gym rat techie nerd.
Alternatively, if you have an ironclad Place Your Wallet Must Always Go or else it will Never Be Seen Again, maybe you have AuDHD.
Confused whether you have ADHD or Autism? Take this test:

If you have the same wallet you’ve owned since you were 10, you have Autism

If you have 2 wallets of the same type and one stays in a drawer in case you lose the other one, you have ADHD

I swear to god the two most effective migraine treatment strategies I have are weed and intense exercise

Throwing this out there for the #disability folks - anyone have resources for the science of burnout & recovery, if any? Failing that, I’ll take anecdata about what worked (& didn’t) for you.

All right, I’m playing with fire here, but I’m going ask for medical advice:

anyone have tips on cutting through migraine brain fog?

Ow, my feelings
The witch made him hot chocolate.

"They say I'm strong," he said. "And I am."

He took a sip.

"They say I can overcome any hardship."

"Mm," said the witch.

"And I can. I do."

The witch said nothing.

"But I shouldn't have to!"

"No."

The witch held the hero as he wept.

"No, you shouldn't."

Today we get to find out whether getting blood work done during a migraine/exhaustion episode yields interesting information.

This depends, unfortunately, on me getting my ass to the lab.

I have just finished an 18 year stint of working at the same company.

Now I’m like “oh I’ve started enjoying food again, that’s nice” and then “waaaaait when did I stop” so I think I’ve independently discovered what burnout is like.

Me, unemployed: I could chat with friends. But I could also reschedule those events in favor of napping…

@dieworkwear.bsky.social has taught me a lot about menswear, and it’s been really useful during my gender transition.

Also now I have a well tailored off the rack sport coat, which I feel good wearing with a more casual outfit because it’s a rougher, patterned fabric.

The kind of person I am is that I binge watched Wayward and spent half of it squinting at the scenery before finally confirming yeah, no, this was not filmed in Vermont.

I could NOT have told you what I was seeing to tell me that. Well, not until the rocks. The rocks are all wrong.

This morning Pallas, our simple cat, got herself stuck in one of the drawers in our bed. The meowing was MOST piteous. Francie actually came to bother me on her behalf.

Just realized that Wikipedia is be the only web giant I can think of from the old days that feels like it’s still doing what it set out to do.

I’m slightly embarrassed to say that Apple TV has now caused me to enjoy shows about first football and now golf. What the hell, dude.

I have thoughts about causing and repairing harm when you can’t necessarily promise to just not do it again. Also on when to fix vs when to step away.
Not sure if this is quite the thing, but there are times when people’s needs just conflict and the way to resolve it is not about apologies and doing better but about deciding “we cannot coexist in [whatever environment] without harming occurring, so I will remove myself from the environment”

Please someone adopt these dogs before my partner can. It is less than a month after my top surgery, adopting one of these absolutely adorable pups would be a bad idea.

For us, anyway. You definitely need a dog.
A Meet The Puppies Thread, cause they are 6 weeks old and in another couple weeks need their own homes. They're near LA, transport available along the 5 to the Bay Area. 395 to Reno a possibility!

I'm 3 weeks past top surgery and when I look at my chest in the mirror, I'm starting to be like “oh i think that’s going to heal nicely” and not “my chest is made of underbaked dough and body horror, am I okay”

I just got the steri-strips taken off my incisions! I can see all the cool Frankenstein scars now!!! I think next they’re gonna remove the stitches!

(I’m waiting in the appointment room between people coming to poke me)

The amount of medical nerdery I’m getting from this process is…large.
January 22, 2025 at 8:37 PM
I don’t think one should be allowed to get a cold while recovering from top surgery. And by one I mean me.

Nothing like waking up from the same dream several times, each time more alarmed and agitated that hey THIS ISN’T WHERE I’M SUPPOSED TO BE

Moose people is the name of my next band, though.
Former Yellowstone National Park Employee here. Do you know how many people I’ve seen almost die because they think moose are friendly?

DON’T GO NEAR MOOSE PEOPLE

Speak to me of your favorite smoky whiskeys. Smoke note is important and I love some brine, but I don’t necessarily require strong peat.

These flavors seem most common in Scotch-qua-Scotch, but recs for other whiskeys are welcome.

According to everyone, I am too perky and healthy for how much surgery I had. This is somewhat tongue in cheek.

But it’s also accurate, and highlights the very real risk of me doing too much a fucking up my healing.
