I can always tell when a show takes place in Florida because everyone has a New York accent.

Drs constantly ask if I’m seeing a therapist. I have. Then started to not be able to find one. Local hospital is all BCBA. Private tell me they don’t have expertise w/ my complexities & to travel 40 miles to X big city. (Assuming I drive?!) Dr’s turn to refer if it’s so vital.

My partner just read: “2% - 4% of people who contracted Covid will develop POTS” My response: “I’ve been getting most of my recent info from LCers! They get better treatment than me!” #PreCovidPOTSie

“Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. And those with neither, create AI.” Skill set to create good prompt is the same many Lib Arts students possess. If you want continuous learning, be a creative. If you want good pay and to steal others’ skills, do coding.

What's one thing you wish people without chronic illness understood about the daily struggles you face? For me, we don’t get to pick and choose what days we feel sick or get flare ups, it just happens when it happens.

i get really frustrated when i am unwell as an autistic person because my interoception is so bad that i can’t tell whether i’m physically unwell or i’m just burnt out or unhappy or what is actually wrong

I dislocated a rib about three -four weeks ago or so. Will it ever slip back in, or at least stop feeling like I’m getting sawed through the chest? The first couple weeks were annoying and now I’m just exhausted from ignoring the pain.

Put on a bra that had been feeling pretty uncomfy for the last 30 min. Took a deep, slow breath filling my lungs annnnd sternum & collarbone popped while my rib slipped back in…… and now I’m comfortable. Lord help me when I take it off. I think it’s holding me together.

When I saw a doctor about consistent and brutal pain in my pelvic area, my then male doctor told me I had gas. I switched doctors and got a bunch of tests done, turns out I was suffering from chronic endometriosis.

Technician appt w/ window of 9am - 12pm. We have subscription for priority scheduling. Haven’t started anything as w/ ADHD my projects take up substantial space. Tech won’t be here til noon. Factoring in “time accountability”… only 1hr to do chores today, so no chores today.

Any advice for those that can’t wear ear plugs, but going to need to be admitted to psych if I can’t get some sleep? Exhausted from being woken to hard shoes stomping up wooden stairs, slamming dishes out of dishwasher, scooping litter echoing up the vent.

Twitter isn’t fun anymore. I tried Threads, but it’s the same shit, different app. Still not deactivating my acct, but retreating to Facebook/IG where my feed is consistently relevant. DM if you need help finding my profiles.

Julie Poptart There is quite a bit of evidence that police officers misreport race in exactly this way. Typically the effect is that it makes traffic stops look less skewed by making the population of those who are pulled over look more white than they actually are. elizluh.github.io/papers/notsobl…

Two months of Glo Fiber and back to the same shitty service as Xfinity was… we’re without service for the second day. And Glo Fiber is jerking us around. Wait ‘til I send them my invoice of MY lost wages. Customer service is rude & worthless. About to go buy a hotspot & ditch

Any other Orrstown Bank members locked out in their shitty upgrade have been locked out of their accounts? I haven't been able to get in my biz acct all week. I've tried reaching out to them multiple times over this week. They promised all members would be contacted. Nope.
