My first day on Ritalin it put me to sleep and I was so upset. I'm already so tired, all of the time! And even prescription meth (ylphenidate) wasn't enough to wake me up??? Yeah... my psych's response was "dx confirmed. let's up the dose."

FYI your reporting is what made me stop procrastinating getting a consultation for top surgery and actually getting it scheduled.

Yeah, infantalizing and internalized racism? Since this is a public convo I want to make it clear to others it almost certainly wasn't a white person who put that content together and posted it. I'm far too tired to get deep into organizing spaces so just learned what "wrecker" is ... and yup. That.

... The burbs don't have the same issues as DC proper with lack of local control. Would like to see them aim higher than "make the kidnapping go as smoothly as possible for the person being disappeared."

I once accidentally pissed off an INS officer who then made things immeasurably worse for the couple I was accompanying to their check-in. My missteps directly escalated the abuse of the people I was trying to help. I do get that concern, but...

I took their training months ago and it was very similar to HWD's copwatch training. Basically what to do if you come upon one person being questioned and possibly detained, nothing about chasing ICE out of the community.

Earlier iteration of ICE tactics is spot-on. Their training addresses what happens when you are witnessing one person get questioned or detained, and was very similar to the copwatch training I took. It's not for blanket raids or chasing ICE out of the community altogether.

If this is an astroturf marketing account for chirp, I'm just letting you it's working.

My shoulder likes to play my ribs like a cartoon skeleton xylophone all the time; I can definitely see how one might get stuck.

I have an "OnlyPosts" (no reposts feed) in Bluesky itself, in case you want to enable that while you search the third party options.

the LIGHTBULB when I realized my lifelong habit of bisexual sitting was because i was subconsciously fending off POTS flareups.

My right femur keeps trying to escape my hip when I walk and I have not figured out a good brace for this yet. Taping was magic until it took more of my skin with it than I was comfortable with. The search continues.

"Sorry I have to cancel our plans I threw out my bac—**POP**—huh, ok um... I just threw it back in or something. See you soon."

I grew up in Kingwood and just... oh my god, those poor kids.

Sometimes I think I should get more plugged in... and then I see second-hand references to discourse or memes that I'm so glad I haven't been exposed to.

Just forwarded this to my bandmate who is on their way to spx. 🫡

Fwiw it looks a bit like officer Jeremy Brady + crew to me, who I filmed harassing folks just a few blocks away from that intersection last week.
