Occasionally, I get to sleep with one less device attached to me. When this happens, I can sleep on whatever side I want without worrying about setting off a CGM alarm that makes my loved ones think I’m dying. I call this thrash sleep night. Happy thrash sleep night to all who celebrate.

May I offer you a salt and pepper hard boiled egg in these trying times? 🥚

She wanted to be an only child.

This story from @maxbernstein.bsky.social is truly remarkable. So many twists and turns! And finding family members that the government could not? Just WOW www.oregonlive.com/pacific-nort...

Hi friends, we back?

They’re working on isolating some good quotes for our news story. With sleepy eyes from celebrating her 17th birthday last night, one of them lamented, “This is just a long process.” It is. But the process is invaluable, and I am so thankful they’ve been part of mine.

POV ur going to mentor high schoolers for ONE WEEK but you need so much medical equipment you could fit in your luggage 🫠

Drag-A-Thon set out to beat a world record and raised $250k+ for the Trevor Project at the same time. It was the most glitter-filled protest I've ever seen. @oregonian.bsky.social

Lol jk diabetes wins again and I have to change my CGM (which talks to my insulin punk and tells it how to keep me alive.) but it was so wonderful and beautiful and what a privilege to see so many people be amazing performers and raise money for the Trevor Project!

About to spend 24 hours at the world’s longest drag show. Tell me about your queer experience if you see me and ya want. Love you have fun be safe. @oregonian.bsky.social

I’m so old that when I say, “It’s Destiny, like Destiny’s Child,” the youth does not understand.

It's podcast day! https://www.oregonlive.com/advice/2023/07/can-i-ask-the-person-giving-me-free-childcare-to-clean-up-too-why-tho-the-podcast.html @hellodestiny.bsky.social

Update on the pocket pancreas: it’s uh, in my pocket.

age 23, after being on my feet for 9 hours around boiling hot steam ovens: feeling pretty bushed but i think i can still go out tonight age 34, after sitting at the computer for 3 hours: i am more tired than anyone in human history has ever been tired before

guess where we’re complaining about it now bitch

I have type 1.5 diabetes and tonight we say goodnight to my final thrash sleep night (where I take off my glucose monitor and sleep however I want and use a new on in the am) because I am getting my insulin pump (thankful). So all sleep henceforth will be anti-thrash sleep. 🥲

Would you approach a stranger on public transit to tell them their fly is down? Me and @lizzyacker.bsky.social chat about it for her advice column Why Tho? in this week's Why Tho the Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCk4AFYdJd8&t=191s

What a fun queer time at Retro Game Bar! The Zelda-themed burlesque/drag show shared its profits with The Trevor Project and brought together Portland's drag and nerd scene- a personal favorite crossroad of mine. @oregonian.bsky.social

HEY! LISTEN! Went to a Zelda-themed drag/burlesque show last night for work called “Queers of the Kingdom.” It was equal parts hilarious (intentionally) and lovely. Article up later, make up was good.

All my homies on antidepressants take the heat seriously, we're more susceptible to the heat (SSNIs and SSRIs). My first post being about depression and complaining about heat is, tbh, so on brand.
