@kitten_tech what you're describing sounds so much like the difficult amorphic internal obstacles I'm wrestling with every day. I really appreciate how you're doing internal investigation- to discern challges and work around them. All we can do is keep trying different strategies, right?
I don't know your details- for me, I'm pretty sure my chronic illnesses are part of it. But I'm pretty sure it's mostly my PDA Autism (and burnout). Maybe it's relevant 4u too? #PathologicalDemandAvoidance

I love them!
If you aren't familiar with AlokVMenon yet, you're welcome!https://youtu.be/1-SelRFhchM?si=zLk1QLF4ZELSuoTr
(And yes, I wish i could share them with a non-corporate link but someday...)
AltText:
Link goes to a youtube video. This is how the description there starts:
"Author, Performer, and Speaker Alok Vaid-Menon, sits down with Imara Jones as part of TransLash Media's 'Future of Trans' documentary to discuss trans futures and what they look like..." -
Guess the point of prev post was that even though several of my conditions might explain these symptoms (or other factors)
I'm feeling there's another u ndiagnosed medical thing happening.
Maybe its a dysautonomia- but there's no test for that.
Thus i need engagement from docs...#olddog

Yes, here too.
At the po i worked at (for 8yrs), i had 2 coworkers commit suicide and 2 more die of cancer, out of 50 staff. Every single clerk had been forced to repay thousands of dollars of financial losses we were blamed for (I'm very certain the ancient buggy software was at fault at least some times- but very hard to prove).
They almost killed me several times, too (denying my approved accommodations such as a break to take insulin etc), harassed, etc.

@viq @aceryz @nixCraft wow nice! So if i can get that vaccine for my SLE (MCTD actually), then it might cure my t1d also?
Sign me up!(For extra credit in willing to be cured of the hypothyroid also... 🐵😉)
So... I'd love to read more about that, if you have a fave source of info...?
(Ps- good luck everybody!)

Good luck folks!

@skinnylatte
(Re: ai, insulin pump/cgm, etc contd)But this is like any tool, right?
We have the responsibility to anticipate potential negative impacts and prioritize strategies to avoid them. (Especially the "we" that has the societal "power")*#diabetes #technobabble contd
🤹♀️:-re death, see "dead in bed," "severe lows", etc
-also, at least 2 common scenarios where the ai's "failsafes" fail.
If anyone's curious pls LMK cuz this is enough infodump here! 😁🙄😉(Part 3 of 3)

"Cafe Crip: Challenging Professionalism
Cafe Crip is a monthly gathering to talk about important topics within our disability communities. This month’s theme is Challenging Professionalism. To earn a living, Professionalism (ableism rebranded) often forces us to squeeze our bodies and minds into tight suits and tiny boxes. Let’s talk about that.

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:

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/

@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!

@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:

(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!

(contd)
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:

@sarahzedig im pretty sure i would've hated douchney anyway (racism- every ism) but when "Alladin" came out and everyone (white) thought I'd given my dog that name from that trashflick... that sealed the deal. Plus i was too young (and too white) to realize- #culturalplagiarism #culturalappropriation #coopting (Meaning no disrespect to Robin Williams of course). I try to not hate, but I'm totally fine with hating dis*y.

Re: https://www.democracynow.org/2022/11/22/imprisoned_egyptian_dissident_alaa_abd_el
As always I love Democracy Now and Amy Goodman's interviews and this story is really powerful for me because of the deeply humanizing way his Mom and sister Laila and Sanaa Seif share their experiences, both trying to help him stay alive and in continuing to work on civil rights and climate justice.
