Got an email from Meetup. They've finally zeroed in on the sort of groups I'd be interested in.

When I was a kid, they made being smart sound like it was the most important quality of a human being. Turns out that was a crock of shit.

capitalism observation, "torment nexus", death mention, fascism mention, squid game
it's funny how there are shitloads of cautionary and historical tales about ppl being forced to fight each other to the death (tributes of panem, gladiator, etc), all of whom have basically fascists as the antagonists, and noone would have ever considered turning these into a reality show, bc that's just so bad and terrible and yea don't make the torment nexus.
but then a show of exactly this type comes up, except their fascist antagonists are neolib-painted and have a happy corporate style, and suddenly it is acceptable to turn it into a reality show.
the lesson is that making a story about ppl being murdered "real" is socially acceptable as long as the murderers are neolibs

The problem with having ADHD in this society is that I need accommodations to help me advocate to get the diagnosis to be able to get accommodations with
Especially because they (intentionally??) set the system up in such a way that the people who need it the most have the most difficulty accessing it
Please I literally have an executive function disorder please don't make me do things that require initiative and checking in to make sure I have /actually/ been put on the years-long waitlist
@Dee "the", implying there is only one
@rune @phoenix@chaos.social Yeah, this does not sound fun to manage at all...
burnout, writers block, unsolicited advice
@toni A bit of unsolicited advice, in the hope that it helps: on the face of it that sounds like burnout, and for me the most effect way to deal with that has been to just immediately declare the day "over, impossible to salvage", and go do whatever else I feel like doing for the rest of the day.
Sometimes I'll magically become inspired again later in the day, due to the weight of "performance stress" having been dropped from my shoulders (now it's just something I *can* do, not something I *have* to do!), sometimes I won't. But either way it helps a lot for me to recover :)
Trying to 'push myself past it' only worked for a while, and eventually started becoming counterproductive... of course this may work totally differently for you! But it took me a long time personally to figure out the "declare the day over" approach, so hopefully I can help to save others from that delay :p

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Main thing is, don't use flexible hoses for a permanent installation, and if you *do* use flexible hoses, they need to be replaced every few years, even if they still *look* fine
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Honestly the risk isn't actually *that* big if you use a safe hose setup, and have a CO detector

surprised no one's drawn much of a link between the state health and social care has been in in the UK over the past couple decades and the fact all the jobs going unfilled are the ones that require able bodied people
@phoenix@chaos.social @rune 3k users is like, almost nothing though?
@pastelpunkbandit @tobi Conway's Law probably applies here

whether you're cis or trans, if you accept trans people but ignore or think less of or ditch the ones who aren't cheery all the time, aren't your idea of a "cute trans person", or have struggles that require you to accommodate them, you're actually still just a transphobe
