Everyone's probs sick as fuck of hearing it but a magazine for Black voices stopped publishing today, it isn't abstract.

This morning I accidentally took 75 mg of pregabalin (my nighttime dose) instead of the usual 50 mg and Google AI confidently told me I should call poison control. Girl I don't think so
