Me to a MAGA: "Have you checked out the Epstein files?" MAGA: "No, I don't care about people's personal lives." 🙄😒 The party of "pro-life." 🤡 We're going to force you to have children, but we don't care what happens to those children after they're birthed.

Made some really flavorful rice today, for the rest of my curry because I ran out of the pre-packaged stuff. Rinsed my rice for the first time today too 🫣 And then also stumbled upon this great YT video on whether or not you should be doing that: youtu.be/B3CHsbNkr3c

Hey folks, if you read my recent blog post, you may be surprised to hear this but unfortunately my main source of support has abruptly ended today and I am scrambling to figure out how to replace both boring support (like help with dishes) and emergency support (when I have serious MCAS attacks).

My hair is *finally* getting longer! 🤩

Hello old friend. Is has been a while. I can’t even begin to describe what it was like playing this game for the first time in 1996 following 15 years of playing games on a 2D plane. I think it’s nearly impossible to grasp how mind blowing it was unless you were there.

I think rejecting these injections is outright stupid. But I will say this: as someone who regularly injects vitamin B12, and I have injected B12 from several different countries now, the US really needs to clean up its injectables. For some reason, Europe has figured out how to make

All right, so as is typical after an abdominal surgery, I generally check to make sure that the machinery still works. 😈 What sort of took me by surprise, is that some long-standing sexual dysfunction seems to have resolved itself. I had seen men in the group talk about

Fight this. I guarantee it's going to be a gateway to getting rid of universal healthcare all together and transferring to a private only system, like what the US has. You don't want this system, trust me. My last CT scan was $7,000, and ins is refusing to pay.

When you look like the stereotype of a scientist. 🤪

They should stop making new games for like 25 years so I can start to catch up

We are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.

Made this vegan curry in my instant pot tonight! Hope that red curry paste that's been opened for 8 months in my fridge is still okay lolol. pinchofyum.com/instant-pot-...

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black. And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act. Sit with that.

He takes the name personally. 😤 "Did you just call me basic?" This Common Yellowthroat seems to take real issue with his species name. He is staring me down like he’s ready to fight the entire ornithology department. #birds #commonyellowthroat #nature #wildlife #photography

Has anyone here discontinued nortriptyline? I'm on the lowest dose of 10 mg, and I was told I can just stop it. I've been on it for two or three years I think? We are trying to figure out if I do have a little bit of pots or if this medication has increased my heart rate. Literature says

I have one more venogram to put on, but I will do that after I get some sleep. I also need to get the disk, but I might be able to do it another way with a screenshot. But yea, things arent looking good for this stent. The orange curve when I was first stented is a beautiful demo of the fluid

Yea, this is basically trending like I thought it would. The stent is getting clotted and worse with time. Still need to put on the data set for when I was first stented, which should be very close to the top line. The red data set is only 6 months after I was stented. 🙄

The way to my heart, is through a chart. 📈🥰

"Your stent is 'open.'" The 'open' stent. 🙄 Got a few more venograms to add. Ill bet anything this is the remainder of the leg pain and blood pooling. red line is my stent green line is what your stent should look like Not even close 🤣 Resurrecting this issue, bc I deserve to be back at 100%.

You know you're an academic when you look for every opportunity to publish under the sun, including your own rare diseases. 🤣 Hoping I can switch career paths into the vascular compressions space somehow, even though I'm not an MD.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

NO. ABOLISH! Also, the absolute horror of imagining a child dying from sickle cell disease. 😭😭 It is a very painful disease. 💔

More comfort games on a smowy Tuesday 🌨️ Today I'm playing the best 2D Mario game.

What?! Nooooooooo 😭😭

Disappointing how many liberals *only now* realize we're sliding into fascism when we raised the alarms on Palestine & the ongoing eugenics of the pandemic response years ago...these same people have been silent about both

Yup. There's a creator that I follow for keto type stuff (she's on a weight loss journey, I'm not), and she had a snack that was 83 g of protein. 😱 HARD. PASS. It's hard on the kidneys, and I now have a reduced requirement with one kidney remaining.

I love these emails coming from the electric company on how to lower our bills, because the electric bills are catastrophically high in New York. The advice they're giving, is to turn your thermostat from 70 down to 68. 🤣 Um, my bedroom is at 58°, and the rest of my bdrm is at 50. 😭

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop. It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities. I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

Send it in the same format as the Epstein files. Huge black boxes covering the entire page. All of them. 🤣 /s

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

With the exception of the roughly 7-in long incision in my lower pelvis, the rest are on the left side. And unfortunately, I still cannot lay or sleep on that side yet which is driving me NUTS. 😭

Tutorials are for learning tools, but to do something with your tools you'll need a process. That's what we practice by making freeware games together in DevPods.gg

The disabled.social server that I was involved in creating is looking to recruit two to three new moderators! I am stepping down as admin (Aidan has taken my place!) so that I can focus on other things as I start to heal. It was a great team to work with. We definitely need to grow the team

When you go to heat up dinner, and then you go lay down on your right side two weeks out from surgery, and you feel something pull on the left side 🤢 (yes, it is normal to feel twangs and pulls every once in awhile) But the sensation 😵‍💫

Stunner!! 😍

NGL, I low-key enjoy all of the influencer videos about Valentine's Day decorations lol. Just looking at decorations, and also seeing pictures of how other people decorate, is bringing me joy. 🥰 (this is what I do for Christmas too, bc I don't decorate anymore).

We are all in close proximity to becoming disabled. I used to be an elite athlete, ate all organic, clean, etc. The rare diseases still found me, with zero prior warning or health problems. Struck out of nowhere, bedridden in unsurvivable amounts of pain for half a decade. You never know.

I've never really had nausea post-operatively like this before. It is INTENSE. I am smoking through my 3-year-old Zofran stash. 😭 Definitely looks like something related to this surgery specifically, and constipation is not helping my situation. Every third day, I have to take

One of the things that I'm really struggling with post-operatively, is appetite and staying hydrated. I only want pizza, and for fluids I crave soda which is weird because I don't drink that, whole milk. And that's pretty much it. 😅 And water is really turning me off right now, unless it's

Yes. The influencers who post this type of stuff are obviously seeking validation from the crowd that dropping precautions is OK. 🙃 They know it's wrong, but they crave that external validation. And then aggress those that call out the 180 behavior. 😂

Post-op recovery now has me craving Gushers and Fruit by the Foot lol

Called my Senators and Rep again today. Takes 5 minutes and well worth it. #CallCongress Highly recommend saving your Congress members in your phone’s contacts. Makes it very easy to call.

I am RAVENOUS for carbs lol. If there is a carb in sight, I am going to find it, and I am going to eat it. Same thing for ice cold water. I have a very strong thirst signal for that. I haven't had hunger or thirst signals in several years 🤣

There are zero policy changes that would ever convince me to have children. Noped right out of that with a hysterectomy 🥳

We've got Lovenox injections in the back of my arms, B12 into the thigh. 😭 Although, definitely like them in the back of my upper arm vs my stomach. Warfarin has been started back up, but have to wait until I'm at the proper INR before I can stop the injections. Also have my abdominal binder

It is extraordinarily difficult to transfer to my wheelchair. I am usingy legs more and more to transfer, and they don't hurt!!!!!!
