Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

He beat the wrap.

Well, I do drink coffee, but it's a no brainer here, I ain't a scab. Plenty of local (and amazing!) coffee shops around, I suggest checking them out!

Aurora has been the subject of horrific national scrutiny over the last year, especially since now ousted (fuck yes) Danielle Jurinsky made national news by claiming that it hosted "roving gangs."

This is Aurora standing up and saying "no, actually, we love who we are and want to love us better."

I agree with this thread, but I also need to add one thing:

The idea that progressives can't win in conservative areas? We need to challenge that, and after this election, we can.

If all of you will excuse me, I have Dick Cheney's obituary to read with great interest. Also, I hear there's a new gender-neutral bathroom opening up shortly. Details to follow.

Hey, Colorado peeps, remember to get your ballots in tomorrow! Vote like everything depends on it (it does)

You just fired all your political reporting staff. Way to go. Not exactly Freedom of Speech or Expression. Who bought you out?

Why are you allowing Colorado State Patrol to assist ICE in Durango then?

He's term limited and doesn't care

WIshing you all the best on your recovery! While I don't wish what I have on you, I had similar symptoms, and it was recoverable. Fingers crossed!

This is literally what the spreadsheet is for.

I got into Battletech from the lore, probably should pick this up and see what I've missed, renew my rage at the Inner Sphere (really the supposed 'great houses') and the Star League and paint up some Periphery minis. Catgirls rule!

Also on that list: get the Partner a sleep study, because I know someone in our house who won't have a clean sleep study. (I mean, it's Ewok, he's part SharPei, they suffer from short nose syndrome, but partner could use one too)

In the past week, I've added "Sleep architecture study" and "contact MUFON" to the list of things to follow up on.

Well, crossed one more 'But her labs were fine' off the list.

Sleep study: clean. No apnea, o2 sats are good.

Fatigue causes still on the table:
Cardiac arrhythmia (inconsistent)
Other sleep issue
Narcolepsy, brought on by covid
Aliens
paranormal activity
ME/CFS AKA ruled everything else out.

Come stay with me, I can't remember the last time I was on instagram. My problem is that my medication stops me from eating, so my brain says we are hungry about X amount! We then only eat about 1/3 X, and you will feel solidarity and take home your food too because I am sad.

Hope you're paying attention. Stand up. Start doing things. The best time to do things was the beginning of the year, but the next best time is now.

The image is 2 panels in black and white. The top text reads "Hypothesis:" The first panel shows someone drinking coffee "1. Drink Caffeine" The second panel shows the same person fully alert, working. "awake."

The image is 4 panels in black and white with the words "Results:" at the top. The first panel is once again the person drinking coffee with the words "1. Drink Caffeine" Panel 2: "Body awake. Mind asleep" A person sits at their desk, clearly groggy, clicking their pen and tapping the desk with the other hand. Panel 3: "Mind awake. Body Asleep" The person is laying on the ground next to their chair. Panel 4: "Asleep" They are asleep in bed with their cat.

before anyone asks I do in fact have adhd

I am looking forward to just being able to put on a blankie once in a while (and snuggle my boyfriend)! I'm hoping to book some time at a nearby Japanese mountain spa getaway (there are hot tubs, and it's been way too warm for that)

I'll settle for a nice long autumn!

Specifically, I've had the *same*, partially managed migraine for the last 18 months.

And I'm realizing it as some of the problems I've had since the beginning are being treated, because they all have the same cause.

Don't let them gaslight you. You deserve better.

But the Topiramate is working. The naratriptan worked. The clinical presentation was inconclusive alone, but the reaction to treatment is clear. It's a migraine- a very atypical one, to be sure, but a migraine all the same.

On the other hand- 18 months. Six months of my GP gaslighting me and I just needed to wait a bit. That the headache would just take care of itself. That I wasn't having memory loss or vestibular issues. That it was anxiety, and I was just overreacting. 18 months of self-doubt.

On one hand, my new headache medicine is finally working. (topiramate. Plus a huge potassium supplement. Still titering up, but seeing results) Just realized that I'm less fatigued, and LESS HEAT SENSITIVE. This is life changing. 18 months this has plagued me. I'm craving less salt too.

I'm having the biggest love/hate moment with the medical profession right now you guys, I can't even.
