Last Notes npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…p25k If the API works, but the site doesn't, that's definitely strange. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…p25k Interesting! That would imply it's not a DB problem, but then, they have a much larger DB than I've ever worked with, I'm sure. :D npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…p25k They've been having problems for a couple of days. I'm a cynic and assume it's because someone pushed an AI-written change that took everything down. That's what I assume now when anything goes down. :D npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…d6wc That is toxic AF. I hope she keeps away from him. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety Appointment to find out if it’s a tumor postponed to next Tuesday. I hate waiting at the best of times. This is not the best of times. I even took off the day so I could go with my mom to the appointment. Instead I nap and write I guess. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…dyu0 Americans bra size perspectives are terribly warped. Most women are wearing the wrong size. Larger bands and smaller cups than we actually need. (I dunno if it's the same other countries.) DD is NOT huge, but the way our society talks about it, you'd think that would be the max. But it's so not! npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…e4ry All kids need attention. I felt so neglected in sixth grade. I tested out of English and was in the math group where we taught ourselves. I was hungry for someone to treat me like a kid, not someone who had to be self-sufficient because they couldn’t afford to give me attention. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…6ljh The real reasons to forgive have nothing to do with the other person. It’s about letting go of the burden of keeping the score of the pain they caused. At least in theory. I’m not feeling particularly forgiving about my boss these days… npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…e4ry The US military. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…xytr This is why I get so mad at my coworkers who are all "If you're not coding in your spare time, it means you don't really love it and aren't worth hiring!" (Well and the industry standard of that as well.) I actually do love coding, but I also love balance in my life. If I'm coding all the time, I'm not refreshing my brain in other ways. So annoying! npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…xytr "Off-label." Gee, I don't want my patient to die from COVID or develop serious, long-term complications. How can I possibly prevent that? Certainly not the vaccine designed to do just that! That would be off-label! God damn this fucking country. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…6ljh It makes sense to a point. The worse it gets, the more of a priority it becomes to stop it. We only have so much capacity to pay attention. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…6ljh Yeah. And for everybody, you have to find your own line. I used to run a Potter fansite. I've since donated my denim Hogwarts jack, because I don't want to be associated with her. But it took a while. There were even times I spent money on HP stuff thinking maybe I shouldn't, but justified it to myself. It "helped" that she has gotten worse and worse to the point it was impossible to ignore. Also <insert nazi bar analogy here> npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…6ljh For me, it was a bit of a journey, but seeing how her hate and actions escalated were part of what convinced me. Perhaps just presenting her with facts of what JKR has said and done might help? Like from https://theweek.com/feature/1020838/jk-rowlings-transphobia-controversy-a-complete-timeline npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety Delicious #mlem. #dog #DogsOfMastodon https://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/115/560/097/899/884/136/original/8543cdcf242dfbc1.jpeg npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…xytr I mean, will it? They fly 9 flights because there's the demand for 9 flights. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…xytr Stress results in inflammation, and asthma is inflammation in the bronchial passages. Seems easy to explain to me... npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…6ljh Hm, interesting. I wonder if it’s partly because it’s easier to capture visuals than audio, smells, or touches? Or are we just good at it because it was the priority? npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety Jojo keeping the neighborhood in line. #dog #DogsOfMastodon https://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/115/452/872/755/372/101/original/3e1d85e43d58aa92.jpeg npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…vwpk @nprofile…jhy3 Which I assume means those are some of the usual things that shingles causes. Why not prevent them if you can? npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…qjt0 I’ve known some pretty aggressive libertarians. :/ npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…qjt0 I learned a little about it a while ago when reading about how Grafton NH has a bunch of bear attacks because of this project. Every now and again I think maybe I should move to NH because it's somewhat cheaper than here in MA, but then I read about things like that and figure I'll stay put. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…qjt0 I’m watching the Dusten Duren trial via Reporting Live From My Sofa. I am, of course, behind, because I keep having to talk to my coworkers. Alas! npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…xytr TBF, nobody was checking the reports for accuracy or biases before AI either... npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…ukrr That's not actually socialist. The right likes to call it socialism because that term triggers people. They call anything that might help minorities "socialism." It's a pattern. Basically anything they decry as that is just so they don't have to let Black people have it. (And anybody else, but mostly Black people.) npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…ukrr You could argue they never did, as the poorest states are in the south. You could also argue that you have to look at racial divides, because any economic change is going to be unevenly distributed. With the end of legal segregation, that started to change some, but there are still many impediments to racial equality. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…eag4 I am behind and may get further behind as the day goes on. I’m still disappointed Donna didn’t take the stand, but more for the drama than because I think she could do anything to help herself. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety At least I can dog songs while dealing with tonight’s #insomnia npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…eag4 @nprofile…y2ay It's a really interesting experience. It makes me kinda want to serve on a jury, though I dunno if I'd make it past selection when they ask me what I think of police. :) npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…3x9q @nprofile…fd8l Paywalled so I can't read the full thing, but given that I laughed out loud at some stuff in Poker Face recently, I don't think it's dead. I've heard plenty of good stand-up, too. So ... if there's a problem, I'm not seeing it. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety Amidst all the awfulness, we at least have dogs. #dog #DogsOfMastodon https://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/115/022/899/231/750/278/original/41cf310d164eba97.jpeg npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety I really wanted today to be Friday. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…et2z It's not the signs discouraging people getting help. It's the insurance companies' predatory practices. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…85tn This one resonated with me as someone who did restore contact with my dad before he died, only to realize afterwards that he was lying to me about a lot of stuff and keeping me at the same emotional distance as ever. My sis had kept disconnected. She had a much easier time with his death than I did. So I don’t begrudge anybody not caving in to renewing contact. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…et2z Well and teaching requires so many hours and is super stressful and gets harder and harder, with more and more burdensome admin. A cousin taught for a year and gave up, in part so he and his wife could afford the IVF they needed. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…ukrr I do and it's so nice not to have to listen to ads. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…et2z Of course they don’t work. They’re used by people who are willing to let an entire group of people be treated as less-than-human. And while the current concentration camp plan is barbaric, the Dems are as complicit in maintaining the current busted immigration system that created this situation as the GOP is. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…2uaj Well, the cousins also call Kraft singles “poop cheese,” but they don’t know why either. And our parents on that side have both passed. Lost to time, it seems. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…2uaj Hm, I could check with the cousins. There's probably other stuff I'm not thinking of, so I may ask my brother-in-law what are some things we say that he didn't know the meaning of. :) npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…2uaj What if we use it but have no idea of the origin in the family? We call Kraft singles type of cheese "poop cheese" but there's never been a story anybody told that explained why. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…et2z It will also get people killed, especially minorities but also women, because it has the same biases baked in as people do. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety Annie making sure it’s safe to back up. #dog #DogsOfMastodon #mirror https://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/114/786/649/440/380/170/original/9a085f7e23f4eb5f.jpeg npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…et2z Not just for dementia, either. I was shocked to learn I’d have to hire a nurse, not a home health aid, to manage my mom’s tube feeds, and at rehab it’s the same thing, but I’m supposed to do it at home. But sure, let’s cut Medicaid and instead start another endless war. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…3s66 I think it should also be a warning for the regular World Cup. The US is not a safe place to have major sporting events, or much else really. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…et2z Or Zuckerberg could just actually go to therapy. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…xzjz My mom’s had a lot of anxiety since her surgery. I don’t really know how to help that. Especially when it keeps her from sleeping, which keeps me from sleeping. It’s definitely not an easy thing.

Why the pushback? Prolonged grief disorder is NOT the same thing as grief. Yes, a lot of people have stupid ideas about grief, but most people don’t experience it as a disorder. It’s like there being a difference between being down for a few weeks and having major depressive disorder. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @nprofile…xzjz @nprofile…pgme My sis makes really good orange rolls, and she puts some of the orange zest in the icing as well, which helps carry the orange flavor.

I already wasn’t particularly happy with where my mental health was before this. But trying to do something about it with the weight of it pushing me down isn’t likely, is it?

That includes removing them all from office. Seems like a bad thing to vote in favor of if you like your free vacations and RVs and suchlike. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @npub1zdp…vqv8 @npub1hq5…qqsd Hmm that sounds like it would be too tight for those of us who like baggier clothes. :) npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @npub1ht0…dyc3 How is what you described not police brutality? npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @npub1ht0…dyc3 Filming the arrest was helping. Police brutality has so often been ignored because it ends up being the cop’s word vs the arrested person, and we are primed to believe the cop. But with video, that is no longer the case. Interfering with an arrest is typically a crime, so recording it is the safest way to help. This is exactly what played out with George Floyd: the officers ended up convicted because of bystanders with phones. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @npub1nlt…t44t Yeah, she was unimpressed. :) npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @npub1nlt…t44t So far we have not connected telepathically, but not for lack of trying. ;) npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety The forehead wrinkles are so powerful! #dog #DogsOfMastodon https://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/110/998/355/176/602/438/original/8734e4416697858f.jpeg npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety The DNA results included pug, American bulldog, and pit bull.

Granted, it also has a dummy being yeeted from a fire engine, but that’s really a bonus. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @npub1zdp…vqv8 Yep toxic masculinity says they are already inferior for being nerdy. But it also says women are even more inferior, as evidenced by them often getting told things like “you throw like a girl.” They find something they’re good at, and it gives them a sense of a “but at least I’m good at X and have a place as a man.” But if a woman can beat them? Their carefully-crafted place in the masculine order falls apart. 1/ npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @npub1hvz…mle9 I wonder if someone was really excited about it and was trying to push the organization ahead of where it was ready to go and had it blow up on them to the point they couldn’t even reach back out with an apology of some sort. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @npub1vpr…n5tn If he does not fix the utter garbage ending he gave Donna I will strew his paths with Lego bricks and steal his shoes! npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety Star Whoas #HorseAroundWithAPlot #HashtagGames npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @npub14uk…2erc I totally agree with this. Especially since the degree is often treated as a joke, because it’s unlikely the athletes are able to spend enough time outside of training and playing to truly learn the material. Seeing soccer players in their late teens making debuts in English Premier League games probably did away with the last shreds of any resistance to the idea I had. There are under-21 teams there, where we have college teams. Their players get paid, ours don’t. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @npub1ht0…dyc3 @npub15wt…7rek There have been consequences. He is on his third marriage. He is so toxic financially that only countries like Russia and Saudi Arabia will have anything to do with him. He can’t run a nonprofit in NY to get extra tax benefits. He lost a defamation suit. He lost the popular vote twice, was impeached twice, and lost the presidency after one term. His backed candidates continue to lose their races, meaning no Red Wave happened. npub1dgmdvpw7cqk47ctul89npcmzjh20fu7kgl3rnshmrzjxhyjekcps4cwmyc Queen of Anxiety @npub1jup…77gr Let’s not tell them that Moscow is built on a swamp.
