Apparently if you just keeping telling it to connect you to a person it eventually does it.

I've never let my frustration get the best of me with customer service, but I definitely have with those "AIs".
You know some days I have zero doubts about my ADHD.

there was someone petitioning for some anti-trans bathroom bullshit outside an event I went to today and like couldnβt these people focus their energy on real problems instead of just making shit up?

Me drinking out of a Lego zombie (I think itβs a zombie at least) coffee mug
Me: I should get something to eat
Also me: scratch that, just more coffee
And then also me: why does my tummy hurt?

Unfortunately he takes barking cues from my other dog who has anxiety.
The number of people Iβve talked to who have had a late diagnosis and then had their friends tell them that they already knew is staggeringly high - and all these people say they wish their friends had spoken up because they had no idea.

I was looking for a particular book in my bookshelf that I wanted to reread and I didn't find it but I did find an entire pile of other books that I also want to read and really I wasn't looking for more things to do, but hey, reading :D

I just have to find a completely unused and large closet that is conveniently attached to the room and move everything in there. Thanks, dream, why didn't I think of that?
I do love when people absolutely refuse to see nuance in anything.
Like Iβm used to my own black and white thinking, but online discourse takes things to another level.
Maybe Iβm just tired.
Hun, the study cited paints way different picture since it includes suicide in those numbers and that makes up 69.2% of the victims. And rather than just pregnant women it focused on pregnancy related deaths - all still not good and something to be worried about. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36075083/
