Yeah that kid will look back in 15 years and wonder why the fuck his parents didn’t try to hold someone accountable. So many people failed to protect this child, he doesn’t even realize it.

The electric chair built in 1912 - Its fine tho, they tested it in Sept!

Smdh. Absolutely barbaric.

Everytime i test a battery like this, my wife just shakes her head and reminds me that I’m definitely from Kentucky lol

No, its weird to me as an American too. Its not the fucking wild west here, very few people are catchin stray bullets in family cars lol thats not a real world concern, its security theatrics

So I’ll never not have the feeling of a credit card being slid through my brain when i have a headache for the rest of my life, cool

The ambient panic is a bit louder now.

Thats incredibly frustrating.

I take adderall for narcolepsy, and my docs office says its pretty well understood that many people need help to wind down off stimulants.

I hope it gets easier.

My doctor okayed THC use for me (to wind down at night), so i test positive for that + adderall. Ask, it might be okay

Its 100% crazy bullshit that we’re tested like this

doesn’t have the mental fortitude to live in reality.

Perfectly said

Further south, right on the KY border

It suuuuuuuuucks

Well to be clear were in Ohio now, so my standards for ‘queer/trans friendly’ arent high, but the area we hang out in has been nicer than our current place, more affordable, everything we want.

Its no west Hollywood haha but its a start

Its not haha, its Bloomington IN. I cannot believe how queer that lil town is, its amazing

I cannot recommend basic yoga enough for wonky balance.

I have terrible proprioception, i run into corners and bump my shoulders constantly (even though im a smallish person and it makes no sense). Yoga made it easier to close my eyes in the shower, catch my balance, not sprain my joints, so much within a few months from like, 20 min twice a week. Free youtube videos. I’ve saved myself from serious injury more than once.

Were about to move to a smaller but more queer friendly town for this exact reason. My city seems indifferent at best, and I’d like to live somewhere that actually likes us.

We’re DINKs, we pay taxes, were good neighbors pretty much any way you look at it, but were visibly queer & barely feel tolerated here.

and the trans person gets assaulted in the bathroom they are ‘supposed’ to use! Its just an excuse to banish us from public, there is no right answer.

I make about 55 in a low COL area and it is absolutely not middle anything. I rent and i can’t afford to fix my teeth even with dental.

I 100% thought this was another pizza glue

No one i know under 50 years old wants a giant truck or suv, and thats all they wanna sell us. My only friends with new car $ bought a small wagon, which is all I’d want myself.

Those huge electric pickups are too heavy for our guardrails on top of everything else; it’s insane and dangerous to let the big three make car culture here even worse.

The book ‘Picking Cotton’ is a hard read, but its nonfiction about a woman realizing she identified the wrong man for SA. Its excellent.

Yeah i had that realization when i lost my job and actually caught up on sleep- if i get at least nine hours of good sleep a night, all the time, and don’t live in constant burnout, i have almost no symptoms.

I’m sick from trying to live up to their standards. I’m just a sleepy critter, not a broken person ffs.

When people around me complain about being worn out, i cheerfully remind them that we’re about the only critters that don’t just fucking REST when we’re TIRED.

Why the FUCK is it normal to down stimulants ‘like an adult’ instead of napping?

I’m narcoleptic, and I’ve been defending my need for sleep my whole life- but mostly, its me reminding people that I nap when my body feels fatigued, like every other mammal I’m aware of, and perhaps I’m not the unusual one.
