That's great to hear! Just recently diagnosed, and working on the meds right now.

So relieved to have a diagnosis and a plan. Really thought I was just super depressed and out of luck.

Had a hell of a time getting diagnosed with Type 2 narcolepsy. Not a lot of folks out there talking about it, so thought I'd share.

I'd been taking meds for depression since I was 19. Diagnosed with narcolepsy at 38.

She calls her naps "sideways time." Heard. I call them "going horizontal."

Total lunar eclipse March 2026: A complete guide to the next 'blood moon' A total lunar eclipse on March 3-4, 2026, will be visible in North America and will be the last total lunar eclipse anywhere on Earth until New Year's Eve 2028-2029.

March's full moon (the "Worm Moon") is tonight.

There will also be a total lunar eclipse, making it a "blood" moon.

So enjoy the blood worm moon, I guess.

Gross.

honestly, this goes in the war crimes prosecution file, a pretty clear declaration that the mission is not guided by rules rooted in the law of armed conflict

Hell of a thing.

Remembering a brighter, less cynical time when I didn't understand Josh's point so well.

There are some really solid "guy living in the walls" horror movies out there.

I think you just called out the root of my problem lol

That's awesome. I fully expected to come across one as a kid. A little bummed it hasn't happened yet.

Yes! I get it!

Mine too! I always dream there's one behind the fridge or stove of my childhood home. Brains are weird.

I secretly hope to find a secret passageway, preferably with a spiral staircase, whenever I am somewhere new.

Awesome movie! But we are watching Black Sunday (1959) this evening.

Watching an old horror movie where the characters discover a secret passage way in a home they've lived in all their lives.

How.

I walk the perimeter of an Airbnb to make sure the outside dimensions match the inside ones before I settle in.

Who is being foolish now, @joshuaerlich.bsky.social.

It’s been terrifying to have almost every year in the past 20 years be a lesson in how many people with power make decisions about who lives and dies with little thought or care or even a clear idea as to why they’re doing anything, and it’s terrifying that it seems to be getting worse

No! But I think I see where this is going, and I am very amused.

I had a microphone taped to my neck and some poor lab tech had to listen to me sawing logs for however long and write it up in a report . . . I am mortified.

The worst part of my sleep study results:

"Moderate snoring."

Right there in black and white.

I denied it my whole life and can deny no more.

. . . I remain skeptical.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

Nailed it.

I see you, Jerry. Great taste in jokes.

Why does this remind me of a Jimmy Eats World song

Tee hee Quattlebottom 😂

Ha, seriously!

It is like getting your first pair of glasses if you've needed them for a while.

"I can see the leaves on the trees! Do other people just *see* like this? The world is incredible."

to be fair, he was also screaming at @katieherrmann.bsky.social

I just Googled this condition - it sounds exceptionally tough.

I am def familiar with the common symptom of "nonrefreshing sleep."

I have PTSD. The quick REM cycle that accompanies narcolepsy can mean both needing a nap and knowing the nap could be a day-ruining nightmare.

How is ME/CFS treated?

There are! One of the meds used for narcolepsy I am already on for ADHD (Adderall).

But I am going to give modafinil a try in lieu of the stimulants.

It's a very specific request, but I believe in BlueSky lol

I can work with this.

He's a very sassy boy.
