Hey folks 👋
If anyone wants to know how we're doing today, let's just say it's more than a little warm :HotFace:
And please note that, like most Brits, we do not have any kind of AC. Plus our house is a heat trap.

Gay nya-ight folks 👋🩷
Whilst we sleep, please recommend some emoji packs you think we should add to the Cult of Shiv server :minecraft_heart:

We're so queer, we accidentally just typed **bi-election** instead of **by-election** 😅 :BisexualHeart:

You need to get an authentication code, so you open the relevant authenticator app.
As you open the app, the code countdown timer is down to about 1 quarter remaining time.
What action do you take?

We've been fortunate: zero brain zaps at all.
Our reduction method (12.5 mg every 2 days) has been slow enough for our brain to completely avoid them, apparently.
We've definitely felt the effects of the lowering mood, but the bupropion has completely compensated for that, and it's only getting better now we've start sertraline 🥰
For the first time in we don't remember how long, we can actually somewhat function at a half-decent level 😲
Edit: ... until we push ourselves too far and crash (yay for being AuDHD!)

SleepyCatten's log.
Earth date: 2024-07-04.
We're down to 125 mg venlafaxine daily, along 50 mg setraline and 150 mg bupropion.
We've made a minor adjustment to our original scheduled regimen. On 6th July, when our venlafaxine dose decreases to 112.5 mg, we'll up our setraline dose to 75 mg then, rather than increasing it straight up to 100 mg on 12th July without an intermediate step. (It helps to have a precise pill cutter.)
What's kinda funny is that the longer we're on bupropion, the more we're acting a bit more like a stereotypical combined / hyperactive ADHD person on ADHD meds allowing them to focus. But unlike how other ADHD meds work (i.e., they may be short-lived, or last for maybe part of a day), the effect on bupropion is constant.
We're still having to be careful, as despite having the mental energy to do more stuff, we keep pushing ourselves too hard and overloading ourselves, particularly our speech centre. (Yep: we can go completely non-verbal if we overload.)
NGL though: bupropion is awesome and it's a disgrace that the NHS won't prescribe this in the UK. It could help SO many people with ADHD and depression!

Gay meowning folks 👋🥱
Until this morning, we'd been mishearing part of a line in Texas Hold 'Em by Beyoncé.
Actual lyrics: So park your Lexus
What we'd been hearing: So pop your Lexus
We thought it was some weird cultural language thing, like popping (opening) the hood or the boot of car.
We were also imagining actually popping a Lexus with a pin or similar.
This continues the trend of us mishearing Beyoncé songs, going back to "all the single lettuce".

Tired non-binary trans girl heading back on train.
Very le tired.
Sold a bunch of stuff, made a lot of folks happy, and shared some useful knowledge with others about various things.
Was nice to hang out with colleagues in person for the first time in ages too. Our colleagues are all very nice.

Did a quick test with the 3M 9332+ disposable mask that folks suggested whilst collecting shopping.
It'll get a real test tomorrow at Pride In London (aka London Pride), but we're pleased so far with how it feels.

We made a new silly meme template for you all.
Just insert whatever word(s) you want in place of the original "get angry" and "angry".

Usually it means overheard, but can also mean other half.
e.g.,
OH: "You're two sandwiches short of a biscuit."
That is something we actually overheard an ex-colleague once say.
He was awesome.

Okay. We're gonna poke the bear.
We're currently on Windows 10 on all our machines. All our family members use it too. We're not going to upgrade to Windows 11.
We're sure there will be a Windows 12 at some point, with built-in stuff that we don't want and can't easily remove until someone hacks it out.
So, if we were to attempt to make a move to a Linux distro where:<li>we'd get a Windows-like experience (minus the shitty bits)</li><li>we didn't have to ever use a command line console except for very advanced tasks</li><li>all our PC games would run</li><li>we could find Linux compatible versions (or compatibility layers) for decades of WIndows-only software</li>
... where the heck would we even start?
#Windows #Windows10 #Windows11 #linux #LinuxDistros
**Edit:** Thank you so far for all the helpful suggestions and replies! We seriously do appreciate this, as it gives us somewhere to start gradually researching over time!

Us: "We currently have too many things going on to take on anything new."
Our mind: "We should start learning Welsh now."

Hey folks 👋
Apologies we've been pretty absent recently.
We were just starting to do better, then we've gone and caught an infection of some kind, which is giving us a rather sore throat 😞
Fortunately we always have strong painkillers and lots of fluid on hand 💊🥛
We are not currently sure whether our throat will allow us to do our Twitch stream tonight, or whether we'll even have the energy (as the infection may drain us).
We'll do an update in a few hours... unless we fall asleep and forget 😅
