Maybe you know this, or maybe you’re about to learn something — being on a ventilator, a machine that does some or all of your breathing for you when you’re critically ill, is BAD for you.

Those who know me, or have read my recent story, will be aware that Fae, my fiancée of 5 years, is gravely ill once more. (My Transgender Girlfriend Is in a Coma. Again.’) I say ‘once more’, because Fae had been this ill only six months prior.

His French business partner back then drove a Citroën. He would always raise and lower the hydraulic suspension just for me, because I loved it so much and laughed like the child I was. Maybe that’s why my father took me along to his business meetings - because I was a total car freak.

He walked away with nothing but broken ribs. Since then, he’s driven Peugeots. He says the French saved his life twice: once as a baby refugee fleeing the Nazis, and once when his BMW fit under that truck. Out of gratitude, he’s owned nothing but Peugeots ever since – though he still liked my Benz.

My husband’s musical memories and mine are worlds apart. I danced to Kiss in discos while he was analyzing Trio’s “Da Da Da” in elementary school music class. Ten years later, our worlds collided – and have been merging ever since.
My father is convinced this BMW saved his life. Years later, after our trips, the roof was shaved off by a truck he slid under.

I was allowed to park the car, and afterward I got ice cream. I can still park like a pro – driving too, of course – though for environmental reasons I’ve reduced driving to an absolute minimum. I experienced the “Neue Deutsche Welle” live as a child, in discos and at parties in Germany and France, when I really should have been doing my homework.

But there were also beautiful memories. The first song I ever danced to in a disco, at the age of eight, was “I Was Made for Lovin’ You.” My favourite song that year was “Ich will Spaß” by Markus. Sometimes we would speed along to the song in my father’s brand-new BMW 318i E30, singing at the top of our lungs.

Personal story in multiple parts. 1/7
I’m a metal girl, but I know there’s more than that. Because I was very tall as a child (1.76 m at eight years old), my father was always able to take me along on his business trips and disco tours. I had to behave impeccably and eat snails at his business dinners without complaining. If I managed that, and even got a French sentence out, there was a reward: ice cream or chocolate mousse.

Uncle Charles lived a rough life. His lack of responsibility, drug use, and alcoholism put a strain on family ties. For as long as I can remember, he’s been unemployed, heavy into drugs & alcohol, and house hopping.

Hiding Who I Am: The day I became a target [prt. 2]
[TW: homophobic violence, assault, police negligence]At 16, alone in a new city, I gave money to strangers thinking it was kind. But my bright hair and piercings turned it into a nightmare of homophobic violence. Police laughed it off. This is my story of survival in a hostile world.

From the time I was about 11, I understood that both religious traditions condemned me as evil and broken.
I spent much of yesterday in anguish, and I’d like to tell you why.

Reciprocity failed, leading to a block justified by personal weakness. This act feels like dehumanisation. When dignity is refused, speculation about the motive is a necessary part of self-protection.

Fae, since you’ve likely never met my fiancée, is a hippie. She smiles all the time. She’s creative, always drawing Hello Kitty pics, including one that’s a mash up with Aliens, with the eponymous Kitty asking her sarg ‘is this going to be another bug hunt?’

Fun fact: back in 2016 I had an offline crypto wallet with 0.1 BTC. Lost the key/password, and while I still have the phone, I never backed up the recovery codes. Today that’s worth about $11K.

Suha Suleman Lalani, 25, lost her maternal aunt to breast cancer due to cultural fears and late diagnosis.
She realized that if it could happen to her privileged family, countless others were at risk too.
Thus, the idea for PinkDetect was born.

I had rehearsed the words for days, the ones I knew would probably change everything. Mama, I think I might be…
But then, before I could force the words out, the world shattered around me.

A picture of a d10 with a story. (Repost from Pixelfed)
When I was in high school, I played a lot of Dungeons and Dragons. Think back to 2nd Edition with THAC0. Anyway, I played a lot with my best friends, who would go on to be one of my best men at my wedding.
While in high school, his had a house fire at home. I walked through his house with him the next day. Sitting on his charred, computer was his D&D dice. Most were so charred they were unreadable. Not the d10. It had a coating that looked like a toasted marshmallow.
He was going to chuck it, but I asked if he'd mind if I kept it. He did not.
I've had it since.
That was 26+ years ago. Used it last weekend playing D&D.

CW: CW: Suicidal Ideation
Suicidal Ideation A 🧵
I’ve suffered suicidal ideation for most of my adult life. It obviously stems from my childhood abuse and was reinvigorated following my motor vehicle accident.
Other examples are episodes of heightened trauma after my Millie was murdered, during my PhD etc.

How not to treat people with face blindness (and lose business goodwill at the same time) - insist that the person (who you know cannot remember faces) will "figure it out, so I'll leave you to it" and walk off smirking.
For me,this is awful to experience.
And fair warning: I will get some help, figure out who you are, and never - ever - refer people to you because you are neither safe nor compassionate and we work in allied fields. Because if you do this to me and you have met me, what will you do to someone with trauma, special needs, other challenges?!
Be kind to others, and don't play spiteful games with people, it hurts everyone.
Have a good, and compassionate, day.

The more I talk to other adults with ADHD who came to their diagnosis as an adult the more it makes me want to scream with rage how poorly we’ve almost all been treated by the medical profession.
Palmed off as depressed, forced onto drug regimes that make the ADHD worse, misdiagnosed and ignored over and over.
But I have this to say, it gets better - keep pushing - keep insisting you’re taken seriously.
