@grrlscientist it worked for me- maybe that bug is fixed? I'm glad i hadn't used up the 4 free articles per month that Forbes allows- not only did i appreciate your article but I'm also happy i could (hopefully) have a beneficial impact on your tally. (I accessed it in both the mastodon app and the Firefox app, so that would be cool if it counted as 2, but probably not, huh?)

The proposed (Eureka) ordinance raises punishments from minor infractions to misdemeanor offences with jail time, outlawing not only camping in public spaces, but:
-sitting/lying in any public space
-bathing or washing belongings
-lighting warming fires#NorthernCalifornia #humanrights #Houselessness
Pg 2 of 3
Here’s a link to the proposed ordinance to review before the meeting:

Activists argue that mask bans are “particularly insidious”, simultaneously criminalizing disability, health protection, and community safety while directly targeting social and political advocacy movements, according to the press release. “

Dear folks
YOUR INPUT APPRECIATED!Here's my idea for a funny meme, but its not quite right, yet.
So, an image (like the one below maybe) with the text of the "dad joke".(The text on the image now says "I have
"low masking" ARTism
(self- diagnosed)")What do you think? Not quite right, yet, huh?
Ps-
If you don't mind, please add if u have any neurodivergences. Or not, whatever. 🐵 (I'm definitely PDA or AuDHD maybe?)#chronicdiseases #PDA

@QasimRashid
Yes thanks!For example the #Hazara people:
"Well before the Taliban took control... Hazaras faced an escalating campaign of violence by the Taliban and Islamic State... also suffer particularly seriously from other Taliban policies such as their restrictions on civil society, women’s rights and freedom of expression... the Islamic State – Khorasan have continued a campaign of violence to cause maximum casualties among #Hazaras ..."https://minorityrights.org/communities/hazaras/

@agt @bookstodon I love that story so much (like so much of her other bittersweet wisdom!) Thankyou for sharing, and reminding me! Also, I'd heard that NK Jemisin had written a response to it, but somehow I hadn't gotten around to reading it. So, if anyone isn't aware, here's a link to that (although we probably want to just read the whole book of short stories it's from 😉) #UrsulaLeguin #NKJemisin #Omelas #HashtagsAtTheEnd

@StudioCaroline
Yes I hear that! I'm wrestling with a fun combo of trauma related repeating crises. Here, there are very few medical/ psych professionals, so the discernment/ diagnosis/ treatment is almost impossible. My favorite though, is the internalized voices shaming me for feelings etc, or often denying that my lived experiences even happened! 🤣By which i mean- the struggle is real! Good luck to u & us all!

@being ooh good job!
Also, thanks for the inspiration, i "fell off the wagon" a few days ago and i needed this "nudge" 😉

There isn't a FOSS version yet, is there?

@melindrea @actuallyautistic
Also thanks for using the term "spell slots"!I love that! I've tried so many times to explain "spoonie" to folks and they seldom *get it*, even when i think they're really trying. I've tried using analogies of cars running out of gas, plants' roots drying up, etc, and the "understanding" just didn't happen.
(A huge thing for me also as a t1d).
At least with "spell slots" the gamers will understand! 😃💜

@melindrea @actuallyautistic
Thanks for sharing such useful info!
I just took those tests but haven't gotten the results yet- good luck to us all- whatever that looks like!(IMHO diagnosis is not only a version of empathy/ vindication, but also a door to possibilities of a vastly improved "quality of life! Of course that may be a "silver lining" tactic, speaking as a ubiquitously depressed "juvenile onset diabetic" 😉)

@EvilGinger013
Thanks!
My friend tried a couple pumps and went back to manual injections. (Just so you know you're not alone 😉)His body runs on the edge of low all the time- maybe because he exercises so much. Barely takes any basal and still has to wake up for periodic hits from the gummy bear bag most nights. Very different from my situation, but... also sucks.
(Plus he always seemed to get the worst customer service people)
It really seems to "run the gamut" of ways to suck 🤣😥😒

@liminalfiction Dr Helen Magnus ("Sanctuary") and a mostly new team, continue their work in the "20 minutes into the future" setting of the Max Headroom show. Of course many of the "Blanks" were "abnormals" already, and even working together, they continue barely surviving the machiavellian hijinks of the corporate leviathon "Network 23".
It's maybe called "Blank-tuary?" 😒

@dwf there's definitely a lot less enthusiasm (among us white/ cis/het/ males) when it comes to acknowledging our own actions, making it our genuine priority to stop causing/ participating in causing harm, and to really work on repairing painful impact we've caused! Speaking for myself of course.
(😉 #yesALLwhitePeople!)Huh. Is this #whitesplaining? I'm thinking no, but i am also prone to that.
Ps- look! Look! can you see? I'm #oneofTheGoodOnes!
🤣I mean, thanks for the insights u share!

@Cat_LeFey thanks for your story and actions!
And what if one of the kids is diabetic and has a bloodsugar emergency and life-or-death-NEEDS that snack! (Which for me, would also mean that in my hypoglycemic cognitive impairment and emotional dysregulation, I'd have a really hard time asking for help!)
(Sorry for the drama, but 30% of the children born in the Us today are going to be diabetic, so, maybe everyone should learn about it)

@PaulDitz re: "too much sleep, not enough water, stand on 1 leg silently reciting alphabet backwards, etc":
Yes it's so freaking complicated. And almost anyone (incl: DOCTORS GRRRR! #§*%&☆!) rolls their eyes when u try to talk about it.
So, here is an article i love WAAAAAaaaaay too much:

The Amazing team at Arcata's Playhouse Arts has opened their new space for Free classes and hanging out, less than a block off the plaza. The tentative name is "(y)Ourspace".

It's the last couple months of the grant and I'm just starting to help the Street Outreach team (from Cooperation Humboldt) before it ends. It looks like we will be able to move a dozen or 2 people who've been houseless for a long time into permanent housing! I'm new but it's such an honor to help with the great work this team is doing!

The electricity to the whole county came back on last night. I do like candle time, but the free dinner for house-less people tonight will be much easier (at the D st community center, thankyou to the wonderful Arcata Playhouse!)
The main 6.4 quake was the night before last. I've been through earthquakes all my life, and this somehow felt bigger than any of the other 6s and 7s. Maybe that's because it was mostly an "S wave" not a "P wave"? #ArcataPlayhouse #Humboldt

(Intro contd) I'm probably the equivalent of a paralegal on federal disability laws, (APWU UNION YES), and maybe an honorary MD on the comorbidities of diabetes and PTSD, hyperlipotrophy, the Somogyi effect, Hypoglycemia Unawareness, catecholamine burnout, counterregulatory responses, the resulting autonomic failure, etc.

(intro contd) I'm as liberal as you can get while still being very clumsy at woke-ness, and I'd love to be your ally (or at least your pet "white savior"). I want to teach everyone and their kids how to do art, music, animation, etc on FOSS. I can't fix your computer or write a program, but I could help you plan a little potato garden, and/or save the world!

My natal chart is a basketfull of dichotomies and tidal waves, and I've been procrastinating whatever lesson that Yod has to teach me for far too long! My favorite job was TAing kids animation classes with Berkeley City College, I'm currently tutoring junior high math online, and volunteering for the amazing local nonprofit Cooperation Humboldt.#HashtagsAtTheEnd:
