Anyways. Tomorrow I go shopping for a “professional” outfit. School has set up mock interviews with real PT clinics for our Professional Issues in PT class. 3 interviews in 1.5 hrs. Sounds exhausting. We are supposed to look nice. Suggestions for where to get such an outfit are welcome.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

There is A LOT of misinformation going around about the continued funding of ICE. It ISN'T a done deal. Yes, it passed in the House, but the Senate hasn't taken it up yet. That's the way this shit works. CONTACT YOUR SENATOR NOW AND TELL THEM TO VOTE THIS FUNDING DOWN.

No one deserves to be executed, which is exactly what ICE is doing to people. No one deserves to be kidnapped and detained. Deported without due process. Sexually assaulted. Denied accommodations and medical care. Don’t fall into the “perfect victim” trap. We all have rights or no one does.

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed. The next could be you. What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones. This is personal — to every one of us.

It’s supposed to, but it doesn’t for all bodies, fyi. For some of us it increases heart rate and activates the sympathetic nervous system instead of parasympathetic, increasing fight-or-flight feelings.

“Before COVID, I probably saw a few people on maybe a month basis, not more than 20 a year. I'm [now] seeing that almost on a daily basis, so the incidents have gone up tremendously.” Spoiler Alert: We have nowhere near enough dysautonomia aware specialists to handle this influx in patients. /1

Defunding schools who allow protests is some next level fascist garbage. But please don’t miss the “No masks!” Line. JD Vance instituted a federal ban on mask mandates. Many States and counties have banned masks with problematic & insufficient medical exemptions If you want to resist? Mask up!
Truth social post from Trump which reads All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Visited my mom today. Her partner died a few days ago. He was a wonderful man, gone much too soon. We hung some of the paintings he owned in her living room, reminisced, cried, hugged a lot. Grieving is so hard. Glad I could be there for her though.

My PCP was the one who originally prescribed the Metoprolol, not even a specialist… not sure why your doc won’t try anything! That seems silly to me. Trial and error is so much of how we came to my current med combo that works pretty well! If something doesn’t work, try something else!

Metoprolol and Clondine are the main ones I’ve been on the past 4 years, along with at least 10 grams of salt & plenty of fluid with electrolytes. We’re actually about to try a different alpha blocker that my dysautonomia guy says is often better for autoimmune causes; Doxazocin. We’ll see!

I notice that defenders of ABA like to present this false dichotomy; like if not ABA, there’s no other possible way to address issues of safety, hygiene, etc., when actually there could be a world of possibilities, any number of ways to support individuals that don’t need to involve ABA.

I’ll remember all the random small talk info people tell me, but not know how to respond if I don’t know them well. Allegedly ppl like to be asked about themselves, but what is appropriate to ask? What is too personal in a small talk convo? When does it switch to regular talk? How do you know? Etc.

I guess there’s stigma here (USA) but it’s at least somewhat context-dependent. At my job, many of my coworkers talk to themselves openly, as do I, and we’re all comfortable/fine with it, it’s very normalized in that environment. Helps us keep track of what we’re doing!

"Singer, who has been accused of making transphobic statements on social media, allegations she denies." Certainly can't deny it now, if she even could reasonably do so before. Judy Singer is an unrepentant TERF & deserves all natural consequences that go along with those views & that behavior.

It's $880 billion over the next decade. Still cruel, but ending Medicaid is too stupid even for the GOP to consider. So it is more like a 10% cut, which is still massive. Most of the budget and cuts are written that way. The tax cuts would add ~$4.7 Trillion deficit over a decade.

Some “moderate” Republicans flipped & ended up supporting this evil budget resolution. They voted to cut Medicaid & services their constituents depend on. The budget fight isn’t over. But if you are represented by any of these people that voted yes.. make sure they hear from you.

Tricky as hell with COVID and anti mask sentiment, especially for housebound and/or immunocompromised people. (I'm both.) Mask tf up. If enough people do, I can have the in person social life I deserve & won't have to be so dangerously lonely.
