Oooo thank you!

Truuuue that makes sense. I did watch a few videos on anarchism that seemed pretty rooted in theory, drawing a lot from Malatesta I believe. But it still didn’t really do anything for me, like it feels like I could poke holes in a lot of what was being explained about how it would work. But there’s only so much they can explain in 10-20 minute videos.

I’m familiar with the Zapatistas but not much else but they are based af. Or were, I think I read something recently where narcos have started to move in to their territory :/ I’ll definitely search and see if I can find out about more projects outside of the west though!

Ethel Cain???

NO WAY

In my state you can contact the state bar association and ask for referrals for your specific issue; they will then send your info to thr lawyers they tell you to contact and you should be eligible for a free 30 minute consultation! This MAY be specific to my state but couldn’t hurt to try

I gained a good amount of weight in the past couple of years which means more tiddy and thigh meat and…the summer chafe is REAL. Vaseline was my savior when I spent a week in Texas summer heat.

We can get through this

Finally time to crack this bad boy open. My partner found it in a lil free library. Hopefully I don’t give up 100 pages in, it’s like 500 pages.

I’ve heard that Service is an absolute lib but the book is actually pretty accurate so hoping to learn a lot

Oh man I wanna make these so bad to pass out to my clients; nights here get down past 65 pretty regularly even on 100 degree days so it would be awesome if they could recharge overnight without needing access to a basement or cooler

These comic strips are getting more and more relatable by the day

Thank you comrade. Luckily his bike hasn’t been stolen yet, but apparently his “friends” have apparently turned on him and are trying to steal it, and other people are targeting him because of it. People are so fucking desperate and traumatized into being ruthless, it’s all so fucked. Every day I’m outraged by this system as I sit beside people and hear their stories and shit they’ve had to live through. Glad that I typically feel that I’m someone they can talk to, though, and that I can try to be their cheerleader when they’re trying to take steps to better their position in the face of all the barriers they have

Thank you so much

Normally I can handle that kind of news pretty well; but I think with starting new medication I really got fucked up. All my clients are typically homeless with substance use issues and serious/persistent mental illness so this kinda thing isn’t uncommon for me to hear…but it never feels fair, especially once you get to know someone and hear about how cool their hobbies and lives are (were) and how many are just such funny and kind and gentle people.

Death to america

Started my Strattera yesterday, then found out one of my clients may have brain cancer, then another social services worker told me another one of my clients passed away. Yes, I started bawling in my office. Yes, I immediately sucked it up to help the next person bc the distraction is what helps. Yes that client immediately broke into existential crisis mode about everything being fucking hopeless because he’s homeless and has no stability and everything gets stolen from him and he gets assaulted and tracked down since he saved up 4,000 fucking soda and beer cans to recycle so he could buy himself a nice bike and now he’s a mark.

The flowers are so cute!! I feel like pitcher plants can be super finicky and yours looks great for growing from seed, I’m jealous

Yeah, I took my first dose this morning at 18mg. The first 30 minutes were pretty weird but I seem to have levelled out.

I already read up on a lot of the side effects on reddit lol but trying to keep in mind that it’s really life changing for some people with little to no side effects. I just hate the idea of having to stick it out for a month or two to see if I come out on the other side and it’s the drug for me or not. But better than nothing, I suppose

Hmm interesting. I’ve never taken wellbutrin but I’m currently on Lamictal. Do you experience any side effects?

This seems to be a lot of what I’m hearing which sucks :/ can I ask how long you were on it for and what symptoms you’re trying to treat? I took my first dose this morning, it was weird but I evened out a bit. Now I just feel totally unmotivated lol

I love reading everything you write on here. You’re so knowledgeable and I admire that as someone who really likes to research about mental illness and neurodivergence.

I met with my psychiatrist yesterday and she prescribed be ADHD meds, but said that I likely wasn’t autistic. It sucks because I dont really remember my childhood; I did well in school and had neglectful parents so CPTSD is definitely a part of my experience, so…the impostor syndrome continues lol
