The smell of beeswax ❤️

Also, the difference between the smell of yellow and green and other colours of beeswax (don't know if that's just a Polish thing, but I love it)

A haunted house for people with cPTSD, but it's just a room full of people saying "Everything happens for a reason."

Oolong

Any chance you still have a link to that research?

I'm a UX researcher and that is exactly how I feel about devices in my home

Anyway, the tl;dr to take away from all this is a thing I have been repeating for ages, which is that extremism symbols function on a plausible-deniability basis. People who use them 100% rely on normal people going "I had no idea, so maybe he didn't either."

Thought it looked familiar. If it's the lake I'm thinking of, both Kai and I have swam there while en route to other wheres

Gorgeous; would love to go swimming there

Or under the desk in case of earthquakes or active shooters; outside in a line in case of fire or after the earthquake. I see your point that it's more getting used to the idea of awful than actually doing anything about it

I Sverige øver små børn beredskab: Melker og Tristan er klar til evakuering og krig Svensk beredskabsuge har siden 2017 gjort svenskerne kriseklare og Danmark bør følge trop, siger eksperter

Fair :)

Tangentially, DR is reporting that Sweden is better at crisis prep and points to several activities as proof of that - eg the annual week in September which introduces families and kids to various kinds of prep scenarios. What do you think?

Not exactly confidence building

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

TFF. I got colours as spectacular as those at an MRI last year, and it took for fucking ever to go away

You know what? I was raised by peaceniks and wasn’t even allowed to play with toy guns and Thich Nhat Hanh is my go-to theorist on empathy so my reaction to a lot of this is different from some of my friends and I don’t think these articles telling people how to feel are doing anything useful

I'm in 🍿🍿

This entire thread ☹️

Does big kid get money (and if so, what does she like to buy)?

Rude 😤

Yuppppps: neuro immune everything all the way down. Also, always fucking histamine and connective tissue being wonky af.

I wish we could just plug my brain into a medical tricorder already and tell me what to give it; I'm sure it's both painfully obvious and easy in another timeline

Deeply familiar; agonizingly slow. Alas!

Already done; I found several mentions to deep neurotransmitter rabbit holes but no directions for research as such

I'm trying to puzzle my way through a similar constellation of dx's + the added bonus of multiple concussions making a bad situation worse

Do you have any research recs or threads about neurotransmitter balance? Because that's looking increasingly interesting and I feel too overwhelmed to know where to start

If you can read a story of this level of raw pain and come out the other side not supporting trans rights with your whole being, *you* are the one that has something wrong with you.

I wish my family had thought through this as thoroughly and supportively as you have; it's a lot of work and also, very cool to see how communicative your kids are

All of this matters also for L2 acquisition as an adult; if my spouse mirrored Dutch or Danish to me in similarly supportive ways (scaffolded them & my conceptual world building), my language skills would be much more nuanced and L1-like

I would love this so much. I share a lot of your dx's and also have had several concussions and I am so tired of nobody knowing what to do to help

(This is clearly better than bad help! But not nearly as great as plugging myself into diagnostics and getting the exact recipe for what would help)

the dream; come on fasterrrrr science 🤞🏻🤞🏻

do you think it would play nicely with mcas?
