Amy (not spooky yet, but hopefully getting there)

Watching the Rent special from last night, I kept being struck by how the natural progression of time meant we got to see these characters known for dying young, at the height of the AIDS crisis, as middle-aged adults, at a time when we have PREP and PEP. IDK, I'm a little emotional about it.

My doctor's appointment reached out to say "he's out of office til 11/2 but you can schedule an emergency appointment for a refill if you want," but so far I've found enough 25 mg pills to last me six more days at my normal dose, which if you think about it is basically the story of Chanukah.

I found the pill bottle! It was in a box of Disney pins, which I'm sure has some kind of internal logic. I found it while looking for my water bottle, which has disappeared.

Can someone with a passing understanding of time travel please head back to last Monday and explain to Past Amy why "throwing the pill bottles in the general direction of the drawer they go in" is not the same as putting them away? Thanks in advance.

I decided I am following the letter of the law if not the spirit by taking two 25 mg of expired pills instead of one 50 mg curent pill for tonight, and Tomorrow Amy can deal with finding the last pill bottle.

"It seemed like a good idea at the time" No! No it didn't! It seemed easier than standing up and putting them in a drawer! That is not the same thing! I am giving myself such a headache.

Where do I find the Alex Cabot girlies on bsky I need more content I need it injected into my veins

The problem to me is that so much of this requires a full societal restructuring of how we understand not just learning and collaboration but also more broadly that no single solution will be good for all kids.

But also I've only learned over the past few years how much my OCD impacted my learning style, and if someone could have IDed that when I was six or seven it would have helped me SO MUCH when I got older, but that is expecting a lot of specialized knowledge from a lot of overworked professionals.

-I went to academic summer camps for gifted kids, and at the end of the summer I said that I didn't think I was one of the smarter people there and asked if my parents would be mad at me for that. (My dad shared this like it was a cute story. It was not.)

One of my foundational media beliefs is that media teaches you how it is supposed to be read, and in that context let me tell you that VisionQuest is FUCKING ME UP. I genuinely can't figure out what the show is saying because I can't figure out the correct lens to use.

Honestly everyone should be very thankful for @tbqtalks.com who is my current Show Analysis Ritual Sacrifice Friend. The Greatest American Hero theme song came on and I completely fucking lost it.
