confession:

whenever someone new tells me they love me it feels like success, because I can count one more person who will care when I die.

it's not that I want people I care for to suffer, but I'm so deeply scared of people not knowing me/caring when I'm gone, that it offers a comfort to me.

it's always one of the first things I think, like ticking off a little box on an ever-expanding rsvp list. even if they grow to hate me later, I figure they'll still turn up to get some closure. 🫢

I swear I'm not trying to engage in toxic positivity, but with something that scares the crap out of me like brain damage, it's a lot easier to handle if I look for the bright side. I'm stuck with this, maybe forever.
Initially I had more issues with language and long memory, and moderate executive functioning issues (ADHD-like symptoms). Now I seem to have regained most of my memory abilities, and have less chaotic/more [entrenched] language issues, but my executive functioning seems to reach a new low each week; that's a little worrying, because while it can be just frontal lobe damage, the same clinical manifestations can happen as your brain loses overall [cooperation/cohesion/conductiveness]
(that's the joke)

Although I may stumble over my words, and have long pauses while I churn through possible options when I lose words, I feel like the speed and intentionality with which I have to speak now forces me to be a more deliberate communicator.

Though scanning written communication has gotten harder, so I do leave behind an annoying abundance of unnoticed and unfixed tropics

The nice thing about having brain damage is that I have lost all my egotism, and have gotten good at being humble when I speak with others. Like when I pestered my Speech Language Pathologist this morning for a telehealth link, thinking she had forgotten to send it... only to realize the appointment was still 24 hours away.

She was very gracious 😩

@admin this wasn't a rhetorical question & it's something none of y'all have explained which shows not one of y'all is actually qualified to be handling something as sensitive as radical server instance

Your silence, incompetence, lack of accountability is driving people away from the instance while y'all act like this is normal & people praise you for being unpaid admins endangering us all with wildly irresponsible data practices & absolute lack of a duty-to-inform

People send out alertas within 24 hrs if they even get an FBI door knock

one of y'all got raided & we weren't told for 2 months and y'all just go "sorry, things have been hectic lol uwu"

Why you should be careful with how your app crops text that’s too long.

"Illness- you point out- is the only possible form of life in capitalism. In fact, the psychiatrist, who is wage dependent, is a sick person like each of us. The ruling classes merely give him the power to "cure" or to hospitalize.

Cure- this is self-evident- can't be understood in our system to mean the elimination of illness: it serves exclusively as the maintenance of the ability to go to work where one stays sick."

-Sozialistisches Patientenkollektiv (SPK) as quoted in Health Communism

My nesting partner made food before I woke up, and I had to reheat it, since I had a late night. He said it hadn't been seasoned yet, so I'd need to doctor it.

I turned the heat up and asked it if it was sure it wasn't just imagining its pain, and if it was actually just substance seeking.

He says he wants a divorce. 😅
