Day sorted though had to cancel one person’s shift so I could take the day off or mostly off. Now for more ziprasidone and hopefully finally some sleep. Hoping our bipolar organism will settle though it doesn’t feel terribly unsettled aside from the sleep challenge… a warning never to be ignored.
David@davidmordecai.com · 19h agono sleep yet. mood feels on the high end of euthymic. i have been losing weight without trying and am wondering if I have a thyroid thing going on. Levels checked within the past year and were not of concern to my doc, so I donno. sigh. off to try some more. Six people working tomorrow, yikes.

I’ve brought the firehouse back online, for those who enjoy seeing every post at once (it’s interesting). Right now the site is running +4 positive affect, which makes me think I need to check my math

I was in too much haste, and now have no time left.
Lord. And on these and other measures, in part how the Overton Window has moved dramatically rightward to the point that we're now in some retrograde Fugitive Slave Act/Robber Baron without the "good stuff"/Chinese Exclusion Act-Operation WB-Trail of Tears/Jim Crow/Night Rider-Klannish hellscape.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoQ: This is at least the 5th time you turned off airstrikes against Iran since April. What's your message to your American people about what has changed this time? TRUMP: Well, I don't know. I want to give them every last chance before decapitation.
I can’t believe we’re doing another cycle of pretending to have a deal with Iran. This is so stupid.

PRN meds or not (I just took them), I have to be honest and admit that I haven’t seriously tried to sleep yet. Not having a deadline to get up for isn’t always good for us.
Once I entered my late teens, and particularly after escaping homophobic Jamaica for much more progressive Ithaca, New York, I had a clear sense of living a magical life, despite AIDS, the end of the Cold War, etc. I do look back gratefully at 1985 through 2000 as an amazing time to have been young.
Annoying that some IG content loads a preview card and some doesn’t. This explanation of whiteness and white supremacy is powerful. #TheUnbearableWhitenessOfBeing #ThisIsAmerica

My first great experience of grief and loss was the death of my grand uncle Alan. (Spelling, @refracting.bsky.social?) His and his wife’s care and their ancient house shaped me in many ways. At 14, I took to wearing his shirts, and thus cut a rather unusual figure at school. These were my dad’s …
Yesterday and Thursday were brutal, and will have to work for chunks of this weekend, but enjoying a home spa hour… (Our toes are not pretty but we are working on that!)
Taxes done (quarterly sales tax filing due). Now for a stronger dose than last night, and a much earlier bedtime.
David@davidmordecai.com · 5d agoNo luck with sleep though I can sense bipolar mood declining. Up now working on tax filing and other admin. We had a great week so one miserable day is par for the course. Will take larger dose ziprasidone tonight which will hopefully set the stage for a better day tomorrow and a good long weekend.

David@davidmordecai.com · 5d agoIt’s also a big day in terms of work because we have a tax filing due by midnight. I’m going to try a tiny dose of ziprasidone now in the hope of five hours sleep and energy to work later.
Rowling's on an ever-growing list of awful people I hope to outlive. Amnesty will likely come to regret this more than they can imagine.

Friend’s mother’s funeral is later this morning. Ideally, I also should have taken my mom to the airport last night. Bipolar mood is euthymic in terms of affect and most indicators, but despite 0.75 mg clonazepam plus my regular 200 mcg clonidine, I have hardly slept. Not feeling safe to drive. 😢
Thanks to ADHD I often misplace things. and I dislike having things on me, so I tend to put them down. Strangely, I rarely fully lose things. Yesterday someone returned my wallet to me despite it being full of cash. Today I managed to retrieve my phone hours after leaving it behind in a washroom.
*standing up on the plane* healthy participation in fandom demands the ability to engage with a text from two different directions simultaneously, in which it is BOTH a piece of media in the real world of which you are obligated to permit public critique, AND an imaginary landscape where you are God

Last night, I had the best night's sleep I have had in months thanks to 20 mg of ziprasidone. And today I had more energy than I have had in months... very tempted to do it again.
I have been nagging this friend to get professional help for at least ten years. This makes me so happy!
