“Stop calling us Nazis!” Stop breaking into peoples homes and putting people, including CHILDREN, some of who witnesses say were naked, into the back of U-hauls in the middle of the night for no reason other than that they’re not white tinyurl.com/wna7mm2f
Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down their doors overnight, pulling men, women and children from their apartments, some of them naked, residents and witnesses said. Agents approached or entered nearly every apartment in the five-story building, and U.S. citizens were among those detained for hours. In the South Shore raid, neighbors said federal agents used flashbang grenades to burst through the building and several drones and helicopters were deployed. Ebony Sweets Watson, who lives across the street, said it "looked like hundreds" of agents were outside her front door. Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers, she said. "It was heartbreaking to watch," said Watson. "Even if you're not a mother, seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible."

Screenshot from Facebook Marketplace for an item listing labeled “whimsical porch rocks”. There are several gray rock sculptures with open mouths and sets of fake teeth. The rocks do not have any human facial features besides open mouths with teeth, so no eyes, noses, ears, or hair. The price has been reduced from $15 to $10. Bottom text reads “Listed over a week ago in Harrison, Ohio.”

I don’t want it. I don’t want ANY of it.
screenshot of threads post by scretladyspider. Text reads: “I don’t want to bomb Iran. I don’t want my tax dollars to fund a genocide in Gaza. I don’t want to watch another generation be lied to and emotionally manipulated into going to war for 20 years, only to leave things worse than when it started. I don’t want to see families ripped apart by secret police because of their skin color. I don’t want to watch my friends break their bodies for rich CEOs just to barely scrape by. I don’t want it. I don’t want it. I don’t want it.”

“I thought just 1 bowl of cereal with soy milk would be okay”, a story of hubris in 3 CGM screenshots 🫠

just 69 days until I see the endocrinologist about my blood sugar dropping into the 40s after a bowl of cereal.

69 days… hehehe… nice…

I’m so tired. I’m so tired all the time
A continuous glucose monitor reading alert that says "Rising Fast - Your reading is rising 2-3 mg/dL per minute." The reading is 144 mg/dL, which would be a normal reading about 1 hour after eating, if it were not rising so quickly. A continuous glucose monitor reading alert that says “Falling Fast - Your reading is falling 2-3 mg/dL per minute." Reading is 76 mg/dL and dropping. A continuous glucose monitor reading alert that says “Urgent Low" and has the numbers in red, with a reading of 41 mg/dL, which is severe hypoglycemia.

still ace; still demisxual; still gray ace; still not allo.

microlabels can help put community to experiences that ALMOST fit a bigger definition. and that feels good.

but sometimes I wonder if labels are more divisive than good.

feeling this essay today. it’s a few years old, but, idk.. just, being demisexual can be really isolating in spaces I never would’ve expected before I came out. that is all. carry on. happy pride. stay safe out there… remember, all we have is each other.

updates on #hypoglycemia

PCP tried to say I “shouldn’t worry about the numbers”

but not only do they explain a lot, the lowest I’ve gotten to is 38

that seems worth being concerned about

still I am so nervous to see the endocrinologist in August

idk what to do if they don’t take it seriously

Today I ate two smaller bowls of cereal with soy milk as a late lunch. Healthy stuff, no added sugar, gluten free. Soon after it felt like my body was made of lead, so I decided to lay down. turned off the CGM alarms in order to rest.

Woke up to find this happened.🫠

Last nights reactive hypoglycemia:
140 mg/dL to 50 mg/dL in 2 hours. Screenshot taken during first low of the day. (140 after eating is normal btw). Thankfully sleep helped. It usually does. #reactivehypoglycemia #endocrine #theothersugardisease
A Dexcom blood sugar reading showing a reading of 140 mg/dL. This is a normal reading for an hour after eating. A Dexcom blood sugar reading showing a reading of 50 mg/dL at the time of reading. This is hypoglycemia.

Yesterday’s reactive hypoglycemia:

164 after eating on the way home from the doctor to at/below 40 in about 4 hours.

What did I eat? A gluten free “low sugar” protein bar thing and some tacos with Diet Coke and water.

I’m not diabetic.

I see an endocrinologist in August.
Two Dexcom readings. On the left, a Dexcom blood sugar reading showing a reading of 164 mg/dL. This is a normal reaction to a higher carbohydrate meal. On the right, the Dexcom reading just says LOW, meaning blood sugar was at 40 or lower. Hypoglycemia starts at 70.

Here’s the thing, Ben: they keep doing things they “can’t” do and NOTHING EVER HAPPENS. I am tired of people saying “but that’s illegal!” as if they’re not already kidnapping and deporting people without any due process — which is really just human trafficking. #FascismIsAlreadyHere
Threads post by Ben Sheehan: “I’ll make this simple: Only Congress can suspend habeas corpus (the right to go before a judge to find out why you were detained). And they can only do it during a “rebellion” or an “invasion.” The president doesn’t have this power — and especially not when there’s no public threat. Hope that helps!”

A story in two acts
Two posts by Austin Peterson (at APALiberty on Twitter). First post, July 24th 2024: “I'm voting for Donald Trump for the economy. And to own the libs.” Second post, May 8th 2025: “Well there went my shoe business. I don't understand why the tariffs have to eliminate the de minimis exemption. Why does government punish small businesses in this country knowing full well that Nike and all the big brands will be fine paying the taxes but Steffi and I get wiped out?”
