@TruthSeeker I’m asking again, please do read that link.

You can’t make them earlier than 48h in advance and a recent update post on social media says there have been high volumes of calls and people actually having difficulty even getting through.

I did not say it's wrong. Please actually read the link. I was thinking like you before, too. But it's actually really harmful. Even if unintended.

Please don't: Why you should stop saying "all lives matter," explained in 9 different ways

Folks here with comorbid ADHD who feel like they struggle even more than usually and feel like their brains have literally stopped working, there's a reason: Polyvagal Theory: Why ADHD Brains Can’t Get Anything Done in Quarantine

As an sorta kinda outside inside observer.... I doubt it. This isn't the first time. Neither of a POC murdered by a white cop. Nor protests. Remember what all the March for our Lives protests accomplished? Exactly. Maybe I'm just cynic. I'd love to be proven wrong. But at this point, after...

Have you been diagnosed with ADHD? I know you have a OCD Dx, if I'm not completely mistaken? Emotional dysregulation (including RSD) is a major part of ADHD, one that unfortunately is still not widely acknowledged/known by many PDocs and Ts, who tend to exclusively focus on the hyperactivity...

I read that linked article back when you posted that other one about Mongolia, from the same author. I had considered posting it but then decided against it to not be inflammatory. And because I just didn't have the headspace to actually formulate my criticism in a proper and civil way and...

June 1-4. Tian An Men.

Welcome! You will find a lot of support and a lot of understanding, here.

Happy birthday pretty girl!!! I can absolutely second this. We had the same experience last year when we ended up with a sudden $2.5k bill for acute pancreatitis in a cat who's pretty much never been ill for 15 years of her life (minus one unfortunate encounter with a dog and the usual teeth...

I was just about to share this article, too. While I’m wary of medium.com articles and really have some issues with the repeated mention of “high rates of blood clots” (because...reporting bias! Yes, there were an unexpected number of cases with these, but compared to overall infection rate it’s...

Our state keeps opening up with more things being allowed starting next week. One of the things are pools. Something I've been looking forward to for 2 months. Until I read the regulations/restrictions. You have to make a reservation at least 24h in advance. No same-day reservations, no...

With everything that’s been and is going on the world, watching the SpaceX launch was a welcomed distraction for a moment. Major goosebumbs

Interesting article, I'm gonna read the original publication in a bit. However, one thing stood out and lets me take the entire study with a grain of salt: While obviously PTSD seems to be acquired as a result of adversity, there is a lot of factual evidence that depression, anxiety (as well...

Hey, I usually listen to just plain shuffle of my entire tens of GBs wort of music library when out walking/hiking, but for my walkman for swimming I actually need to limit it to 4GBs and I'm uncreative and SUCK at making decisions, so all suggestions are welcomed. Bands, albums, specific...

Really useful summary post on FB

I don't know if anyone else is with Kaiser, but I just wanted to share that Kaiser is currently gifting 1 year for the Calm Premium App. I've been using Calm for quite a while already even before and really enjoy their sounds; haven't tried their meditations, yet (not big into meditation)...

My coworker from pest control is taking his job reeeaaaal serious ?

Considering that the article says it's an Austrian study, while Flinders University is in Australia (the meme world is lolmao'ing right now), I take the entire article with a BIG dose of salt. Professor Nikolai Petrovsky - Flinders University I obviously haven't read the original study, but the...

The more I read about, especially with the recent reports of inflammation in children, the way it inflames the alveoli in the lungs, and the EXTREME discrepancy between cases, from asymptomatic and mild cases for the majority and really f*cking severe cases for another some... ... I can't shake...

Would you be able to put away just a really small amount each month into “vet savings”? Also pet insurance? Our youngest’ (3 years) is $35/mo and I do realize this is a lot of money when already on disability- but it’s a possible safety net for emergencies. Under normal circumstances, vet...

New Zealand!!! I also really would love to see more of China + go back to places there I’ve already been and grown kind of fond of. I used to travel a lot. Ever since I moved to Hawaii that’s been cut short for logistical (money, mostly) and visa reasons.

I feel this so much @Justmehere I feel I'm stuck between two extremes. The "this is just a flu and every restriction is just a total overreaction" folks on one end (let's ignore the conspiracy theory nutjobs for a moment) and the "this is the worst disease ever and these are horrible times, the...

Following, not because I have a solution, but because struggling with the same thing. Leaving a :hug: in solidarity.
