Late diagnosed AuDHD with multiple chronic illnesses. I will likely say something that's not quite right, so please be patient with me. My brain goes faster than my mouth does, and I don't get all the words right every time. Don't ask for my real name.

Or why poor folk actually have to pay MORE for everything because of "installment fees" and shit.

Yeah . . . Speaking from experience, a downward trajectory is far more common. My parents were working poor, occasionally dipping into poverty. We were definitely white trash, but we were the "invading that not quite so nice suburban neighborhood" white trash. 1 step up from trailer trash.

I cannot even with this garbage. We could eliminate poverty just by taxing Elon Musk!!!! That man's about as useful a period product designed by an all male research team. Tax him into lower middle class life!!

We've been in a crisis since congress decided that they didn't want competition and created laws around federal elections making it impossible for third-party candidates to participate in any meaningful way. We just got told that's the way it's supposed to be.

And right after that, another comment had the nerve to call me privileged simply because I needed to utilize the space in a different manner than others might. So I got nasty. I don't actually like when I get nasty. I know it's necessary sometimes. It just feels aweful.

. . . well, then I shouldn't be driving. I never said I couldn't. I said it's not as as pulling in and backing out. I didn't add details about driving a Jeep Patriot with shit site lines as a 5'1" woman before because I shouldn't have to. Putting words in my mouth was so infuriating! 6/

They go online looking for someone to take their angers and frustrations out on, whether they realize it or not, so nothing I said was going to matter. I figured they'd move on. But they didn't. And I snapped. I snapped when a man told me if I "couldn't" back into a parking space . . . 5/

But on to th part that I am not proud of . . . This has actually been ongoing now for a few weeks. I made attempts at first to politely explain more context, though I really shouldn't have to, but eventually started ignoring them because they clearly needed a "villain" 4/

People started ripping into me as if I had suggested they have no need for parking spaces at all. The strangest part is that we were talking about parking spaces that are specifically constructed with adjoining aisles on the passenger side, so this is making use of MY aisle space. 3/

only read as far as my admitting I will park with my passenger side wheels in the hash marks if absolutely necessary so I can exit and enter my vehicle without struggling or pain. I did explain that I will only have them slightly over in that area. It's still very usable by others. 2/5

It's often required by insurance companies. I will admit that my most recent ultrasound would have been better as an MRI, which my dr & I discussed, but I now panic so badly I need full sedation. We did the ultrasound.

AuDHD Chronically Ill @megcastiel.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
What's really ridiculous on this one is that because I have a rare recurrence of a benign growth (7% of patients) I had to go to the Mayo Clinic for removal. Because there was no MRI done, they had to do one. That gets expensive.

AuDHD Chronically Ill @megcastiel.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Agreed. I will never stop being angry over the fact that I had to fight for a biopsy of a tumor on my face because insurance companies insist on CT scans before MRIs so the doctor couldn't see the 20+ OTHER tumors in my face and neck. He thought it was a lymph node.

Insurance company thinking: Always require the following steps - 1) x-ray, if nothing shows up and condition continues 2) Ultrasound, see 1 3) CT scan, see 1 4) MRI 5) Complain about cost of chronically ill patient who needed MRI from the start but got 3 useless tests first.

I get that physical attraction can be important in relationships, but love is about that individual and who they are as a whole. That's not changing. They are finding more confidence in themselves and that is beautiful and sexy. Their body may change, but they are still the person you love.

It's happening with various outlets. Centrist media outlets do this about progressives. They're just. More subtle and right now they have a bigger problem to worry about. Progressive outlets will use this tactic against mainly Conservatives and Libertarians.

I cannot handle killing mice and rats since learning about how compassionate they are towards one another. Sentience in one thing. Foxes are clearly sentient but they are total assholes, like the billionaires of the animal kingdom. Compassion is another level.

I have Narcolepsy, chronic migraines, and multiple conditions that cause chronic pain. I also have cPTSD. My books are either audio books or digital books with an audio function. They are ON MY PHONE. If I have a hard copy I use a scanner (pen or PHONE). 1/2

This only matters if we hear genuine acknowledgement from the Democrats that THEY are the problem and not the voters. There also needs to be some serious conversations and bridge-building with various marginalized communities, low wage workers, and the poverty stricken.

Looking back, I think that might have been the moment I kind of lost interest in anything more than friendship and flirting with him . . . He was attractive, and had a deep, sexy voice that could make my knees all wobbly (It's the resonance) but I grew up on Hans Solo, Leia, Kirk, and Picard.

Oh, I grew up loving Star Wars, but it was mot considered "cool" to enjoy Star Wars until the re-release in, was it 1996 or 1997? I was a freshman in high school. A guy there in my group actually asked how they made Harrison Ford look so young 🤣🤣🤣🤣
