I’m about to start therapy (again) for pretty much the same reason… I joke that I don’t have good luck nor bad luck, just crazy luck. Only a few people closest to me truly know how wild it’s been the past 5 years? 7 years? I honestly lose track sometimes

Last time I went to therapy in 2021, I gave them a summary of the most recent traumas and completely forgot to tell them my sister had recently died. The next session, I mentioned it to them and their face… couldn’t entirely hide their shock. It was at least validating though

“What the fuck is up, Kyle‽”

I had never heard of the pinecil before, thank you! I’ll keep that saved for when I want to upgrade my dinky little iron

What do you want to eat‽

“Two sandwiches and some carrots” has served me well

And some of us weren’t old enough to understand the history of what has already been sown. Ripping weeds by their root is tedious, sometimes tiresome, work

I appreciate the reminder, and understand it’s not just a “U.S.” problem. But thank you nonetheless. I can’t truly apologize for something that I didn’t understand I was already a part of… but I’m sorry

I’m trying more than just “angry comments”, I promise. It’s strange to me; writing a comment and thinking about how it may be used against me, because of things. But here we are, and I refuse to give up my love for people. Sue me. Shoot me. Piss in my cheerios. I’ll remain as I can

I used to joke that my goal was to just make it to 65. Good enough for me… but I have new goals now. I’ma live till I’m 92, and godspeed. I hate living in interesting times, but I guess it’s what we’re doing right now, so fuck it. I’ll keep myself and remain kind for others, because hopeless doesn’t equal helpless

And Heyyy friends, if you’re reading my shit… good

Non-verbal, debilitating autism is extremely difficult. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. It’s like asking what’s wrong with schizophrenia and “why do they want to ‘cure’ it”?

Autism is a spectrum (for now; it’s the best terminology we have at the moment), and at one end you have severe debility. I don’t think a “cure” is possible in the way we think, but better treatment options would be life-saving

I’m some form of neurodivergent myself and have traits that overlap with autism. Someone I love is non-verbal and currently going through the straights with their disability. I see ways in which we share symptoms, but I also see a huge divide between us, in the severity of them

I would give anything to get the best help for my loved one, because they’ll never be able to have any independence without 24hr care. And that’s what we’re working towards. But if there was some “cure” that would allow them to communicate more… I can’t even describe what a miracle that would be for so many people. It’s a hard thing to see someone go through sometimes, and it can actually be a very big deal

You drip them to get ice cream and prevent freezing; it’s a win-win

Shit… does that equal back to 'One Punch?

Cleverly dumb. I love it

It helps to keep me lighthearted; the lightly-whimsical font (on just my phone) is easier on my brain. I work with a lot of intense situations that require a lot of critical thinking… so it’s nice not to see the same font on my phone that I normally see when trying to mitigate an impending crash. It’s just nicer for allowing my brain to switch gears between priorities… if that make sense?

I work critical care in a large hospital, and I’ve had to develop a bunch of coping skills to maintain my humanity/sanity as well as not bringing my work home with me everyday. Small changes can make a big impact sometimes

And I’ve learned to love the font. A lot of people may need the rigidity of a standard font, but I assume it’s a per-basis situation

I never clicked it, so unfortunately we’ll never know

I never noticed the HD option in Boost, thank you! I always just struggled through the pixels or gave up when it happened. Thank you again!

Cis straight here, same

Not trying to lessen your point, but people do be dying from sepsis all of the time still. Granted, we do have way better treatment and protocols, but it’s a fast killer if not caught in time and a lot of different things can cause sepsis

But polio, for sure way better. Never seen anyone with polio before irl

Also stroke treatment. Wayyyy better now than before. We didn’t really have anything except aspirin until the 90’s, and now we’re straight up removing the clots from the brain (when we can). It’s kind of wild how much stroke treatment has improved in 30 years
