I don't *think* California is a slave state; it IS a slave state. Millions of Californians voted to keep slavery going in California in just November 2024, when I wrote my bio. We literally had an unopposed proposition to make slavery illegal and we fucking failed.

I got pneumonia two months ago because of this, and it triggered a hellscape of symptoms. Please understand how much you might be hurting others.

Regular reminder that when you go to things while sick, you are giving those germs to people with autoimmune disorders, you’re passing them to someone’s newborn, to someone’s elderly parents. It’s “just a cold” to you but it can and does severely impact countless people.

Still so confused how I and my Clueless/Buffy-loving friend had never heard of this until it started auto-playing after something else two years ago, which is why I like to post about it. Nice to have a spoopy movie on the roster when you don't do truly spooky.

BREAKING: Lula wins Brazil’s runoff, securing a fourth term. This is more than politics,it’s a lifeline for the Amazon. Under Lula, Amazon deforestation has fallen to its lowest level since satellite records began in 1988 (down 71% from the 2022 peak). The world’s largest rainforest stays

seems like "on the orders of a nazi every major news outlet on the planet hounded an innocent man to death because he's black" should be one of the biggest stories of the year

I love when people degrade self-diagnosis in ADHD. Do you know how many barriers there are to getting a diagnosis when you have zero executive function? Let me tell you about how I don't have insurance largely because I haven't been able to make myself make a phone call...for 7 years.

And would you also like to talk about the plague we're living through that causes brain damage which can lead to ADHD symptoms? My dad is literally on Ritalin for his brain damage. There are also other societal reasons why people are scrambling to explain ADHD-like symptoms. Leave us alone.

My friend laughed at me for only realizing I had ADHD at 30 because it was so obvious to her. What can I say? A lot of us only knew the "white boy presentation," and none of the adults in my life wanted to help me.

I'm sorry it hurts your feelings that someone asked if serving is a good job with ADHD, but there is absolutely no reason to disbelieve someone asking that. Who is harmed by being asked that? Even if they don't have ADHD, they surely have symptoms of it. Genuinely why do we have to be so skeptical

"Well, some people have just stopped diagnosing ADHD because now everyone thinks they have it." Fuck the psychologists who refuse to diagnose. They are the ones doing the harm, not the people who are trying to put a name to why they are struggling.

It is not lost on me that the people asking random women on the internet "if they really have ADHD" are cishet white men. Atp, it's a microagression. You have no business talking about ADHD if you refuse to acknowledge that the medical needs of marginalized groups are underdiagnosed.

We should not have to diagnose ourselves well into adulthood, but we do because girls tend to present differently than boys. And the medical industry basically ignores anything wrong with Black folks. These are the main groups I see talking about realizing we have ADHD in adulthood.

Non-American Exceptionalism is a helluva drug. Who cares if UK vaccination rates are falling below herd immunity if they get to talk about how bad their son turned out? www.theglobalstatistics.com/vaccine-stat... Hmmm, and I wonder how many years since most people in the UK have donned masks?

The amount of people who have been pretending a global pandemic suddenly became an American-only problem is a lot. Like if you're not even masking on public transpo and in medical settings, you're the problem too. Such a fun deflection, though, and effective, because the US is so trash.

But I still can't believe how many Brits are clinging to their Non-American Exceptionalism post Brexit. We get it, you have national healthcare and less gun violence. Congrats. There are still plenty of reasons to be embarrassed about your country, and the NHS is getting worse all the time.

Part of me thinks this hellscape of a country deserves to have a COVID strain named after it, the other part of me knows this is how so many exceptionalists who haven't concerned themselves with any of the previous waves since 2021 will view it.

Reading the 5th Anne of Green Gables, where Avonlea has just gotten a phone line. Anne and Diana discuss this while remarking about the annoyance of people listening in. Diana remarks that Green Gables has a new clock because she hears a distinct one she knows is someone else's. Wild to imagine now

Watched a WWII show awhile back where a character got a phone installed (15-20 years after Anne) and it was a shared line with several neighbors and I don't think I'd ever thought about that in my life. They had a different number of rings depending on who it was for.

So that would be done by an operator, right? That's why they were so vital, because so many people were on the same lines? Would operators have to manually do the amount of rings to indicate families?

Television. It's wild to see stuff that's not even that old and realize how many plots or characters were just lost because audiences were more casual and episodes were more self-contained. They really just left Mr. Turner in the hospital to haunt me until Girl Meets World said, "Look, he lives!"

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

I forgot to check for the last day of Jury Duty because asking me to check something 5 days in a row is too much, and it literally only just now occurred to me that I could have set reminders. Pretty sure they weren't going to call my group just for Friday, but now I get that anxiety.

Untreated ADHD is just so incompatible with living in society, which I barely do. They're not allowed to treat prisoners the way my life has been the last several years with weeks of not leaving the house. And of course lack of stimulation does wonders.

My god. This is 💔. Big humans are supposed to protect our little ones. But also, I can't wrap my head around the depravity of pediatric specialists everywhere, still pumping out papers blaming lockdown for everything while not even bothering to count & support these kids (see also #LongCOVIDKids).

Just saw an Israeli citing Hamas's lack of uniforms as an example of using civilians as human shields, saying militaries are required to wear them. What an infuriatingly disingenuous argument from someone who occupies a state which disallows Palestine from being a true country.

You can't fucking deny them a state and then hold them to the standards of a state. There is no military of Palestine. That's kind of a big reason why the genocide is what it is. You're attacking people without a bloody military and then complaining they don't have one. Racist twats
