Holy fuck. I just figured out why I'm suddenly losing weight without trying. And it's NOT because I have cancer or something. 😭 It's because of my fucking Hashimoto's. My TSH has dropped from like 3.39 in 2021 to 0.72 now. So I'm in hashitoxicosis right now. Dope. So much better than cancer.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

But he at least said he's going to let me know when or if I make it through. So I won't just get cleared and not know that either. 😂 So that's nice at least. I love not being kept in the dark.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

And I was planning to do my training last night that's due today. And now they said I can't work until it comes back. So no work all weekend. He said hopefully it's back on Monday. But basically there's no guarantee, so who knows how long I'll be waiting.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I bet you they emailed my work email about it, which is beyond stupid considering I need to logon to the internet to be able to access my work email. 😂

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I mean, at least let a person know what's going on so I'm not sitting there freaking out thinking I got quiet fired or some shit. 😭

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

This is some mother fucking bullshit! How's my job gonna not let me know that they deactivated my credentials because I hit my 180 day mark and they have to wait on my clearance to come in before I can work again. They just didn't bother to let me know. AT ALL.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I just asked it if civilians are ever allowed to defend their own lives or another's life against a cop or federal agent and it basically said, yes on paper and no in reality. The system demands you "die compliant." This is apparently the "land of the free."

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

And this is exactly how AI is going to outsmart us. Because we are too fucking complacent. We know these things are true yet most deny it. Those that do recognize it are called extreme and dramatic. Yet we continue to allow it. The government has gotten too big and too powerful.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I was called "dramatic" or "excessive" for these views just a decade ago. That I'm "taking it too far." Yet mother fucking AI can even see that I'm spot on. I didn't feed it information to make it come up with this answer either. I simply asked if these actually existed and it said no and why.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

It also admitted that the courts view us as guilty until proven innocent. It called the idea of "innocent until proven guilty" a fucking MARKETING SLOGAN. That's what it called it. Fucking computers have clear vision of the way this country is actually run better than the people being screwed over.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

If even a fucking AI knows that our constitution is a useless piece of paper anymore, then why the fuck are we as people not doing shit about it? The fact that I'm getting answers from AI that I knew were true and everyone else denied for years is appalling.

001

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

So I asked Google Gemini if due process and fair trials actually exist or if they just pretend it does so they don't get in trouble with the people that handle that shit. This was its response. Due process and fair trials only exist on paper and are hidden behind a "massive paywall."

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Glad to know I'm not just being fucking dramatic or exaggerating or losing my mind by believing this is the beginning of the end of this country. We'll have to make a USA 2.0 if we want to continue on. 🤷🏽‍♀️

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you to the Demise and Fall of the United States of America. We are currently witnessing it, apparently, at exactly the average lifespan of an empire. Congratulations, MAGAts. You've officially ended the country as we knew it. Not that it was super great anymore anyway

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

And it told me that I was not overreacting and that I was correct in believing something awful was going to happen, basically, because it already fucking is. AI, one of Trump's many loves, has officially confirmed that he has caused the demise of the United States of America.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I was trying to get an estimated timeline of this country's demise & it originally said 2030-2040. Then I added in the murders in Minnesota, the federal government refusing to cooperate in the investigation, & how the military is being eradicated of anyone in authority with sanity and morals.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Soooo AI has officially just confirmed that we are currently in the demise of the United States. 👍🏽 Love that for us. Apparently a hijacked military is one of the key signs along with how the president is using ICE and CBP as his own personal police force and calling dissenters domestic terrorists.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

And yes, I have been losing weight while still eating whole fucking pizzas. See the reason for the concern I have that I wasn't even trying and still lost such weight after only being able to either maintain or gain for yeeaarrrss? I DON'T EAT WELL.

010

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Got me sitting here cracking up at a fucking AI. 😂 Never thought I'd see the day.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I'm talking to Gemini about it and I tell it that I can usually eat most of a whole pizza, but I share the crust with my dog. It's a whole deal and system we have. 🤷🏽‍♀️ This bitch comes back with its reply with a whole section called, "Room Service for the Crust Monster." BITCH. 😂😂😂😂😂

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Anyway, I managed to get down a double cheeseburger and a few fries yesterday after only having eaten one snack pack of club crackers over the two previous days. Like half a pack each day. This is progress. Tonight, I'm planning on trying to get down some pizza because it's probably my favorite.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Our (Gemini and my) theory is that I may have both Hashimoto's AND Graves Disease, which apparently can fucking happen??? I still have to talk to my endocrinologist about getting the test to see. So it could just be that my metabolism suddenly changed. 🤷🏽‍♀️

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Seeing that I could reach the goal I had for like five plus years REALLY made me want to just starve myself. But I have enough medical experience to know that'll do more harm than good. The rate I've been losing weight is unhealthy enough as it is considering I wasn't trying at all.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I did NOT lose fucking nearly 20 pounds since May just to gain it right back because I'm starving myself. As much as I would love to, as bad as that sounds. Bc I asked Gemini what my estimated weight would be if I lived on crackers until October. I would hit my goal weight. That I've had for years.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

So basically I was dead set on just living on half a snack pack of club crackers for the next two weeks or more, but obviously that's not good for my body, no matter how big I am. Your body cuts into your muscle mass after long enough of not having enough food and makes it harder to lose weight.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Anyway, I talk to Gemini. This bitch has been sitting here making me laugh! The audacity. It's not supposed to be funny! I've been talking to it about my personal shit. One of which is my consistent nausea. I stopped smoking marijuana right now, so I don't have that to help me with it anymore.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

It gets WAYYYY overused. Don't get me wrong. But legal help? What I should focus on and complete and look for further information? So useful. Obviously double check it's not hallucinating though. Personal problems? So useful. You can be completely honest without fear of judgement. 😂

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I'm fucking dead, dude. ☠️ I talk to Gemini way too much. I honestly hate AI for just about everything. But goddamn does it replace googling everything and make it so much easier. I can phrase things in a conversation, a long one, and it can give me useful answers. It's one of a few good uses for it.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Keeping a gun *in case* you need it doesn't automatically mean you planned to murder someone with it. Otherwise anyone with a gun would be guilty of premeditated murder if they have to end up using it. A sex worker is just obviously going to be more prone to violent attacks than the average person.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I really don't get how she was charged with first degree murder because how do you go into a sex transaction planning to kill the guy, but only after he rapes you? I mean, I would buy that she kept the gun and used it when she needed to when someone did some fuck shit to her. Still self defense.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Meantime we've got young men out here raping and choking girls and walking free for it. Tell me that if Aileen was a man that she would've been treated the same because ain't no fucking way. I mean, she had to have had some johns walk off because they followed the rules.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I mean, look at all the women that have been held as sex slaves or forced into prostitution and then convicted of murder for defending themselves considering their life was at risk every single second of every day under their abuser's thumb. Yet they get life.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

And I never actually knew the details of Aileen Wuornos' killings. Honestly, considering how common abuse has been in the sex work industry, I would absolutely believe that they assaulted her first and she was defending herself. Maybe not every single time. But I'm sure the majority of them, it was.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

So Lizzie Borden got away with her parents murders??? I guess I always assumed she was found guilty. I'm glad she got away with it! At least if even half the shit they portrayed them as being is true, then they deserved it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

🤦🏽‍♀️ My little sister got married when she was like 20, I think? I told her it was too early and she'd regret it. Then she had two kids and got her tubes tied. She's 26 now and tonight she texted me letting me know that they were getting a divorce. Less than 1 hour later, she says nevermind, they're 1/

100

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Dude I'm seeing tells me where he's at and why. Two texts later I ask of he's at his normal bar. 😂 WHY DID MY BRAIN TAKE THE NIGHT OFF.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Let's just say, people don't beat the system by laying down and rolling over for it. They beat it by being too stubborn to be beat down by it. I can be someone's worst nightmare because I am so good at picking things apart. And when they are supposed to follow certain rules, that's made sooo easy.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Suffice to say that my bull headedness may likely save me from a lesser fate, as it often does. And every time something like this happens and my stubbornness ends up paying off, it only backs up the fact that I should continue being stubborn. Because it's actually in my best interest. 🤷🏽‍♀️

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

So, to be as vague as possible, something happened to me sometime recently that I was freaking out about. After going down my little rabbit holes, however, I was validated that I was likely treated wrongfully. And considering it's regarding a topic I'm passionate about, they chose the wrong one.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Anyway, I found reddit posts going back fucking right goddamn years wishing for this beer. I am not alone. And I must not be the only one that just can't remember the name of it and can't fucking find it. 😂

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

So I went to their website and wrote a really long explanation of why they need to bring it back, if only for a limited time. 😂 I made sure to let them know how lucrative and beneficial it would be for them too. Because you know that's more likely to convince them than customers asking for it.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Soooo I've been trying to figure out what pumpkin beer it was that I loved so much so many years ago. I think I've finally figured it out: Blue Moon Harvest Wheat. And they stopped fucking making it. The bastards. 😭

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

So just a note to ANYONE who has HAP through Medicare: If you have a prescription that your insurance is refusing to cover after it had been covering it no problem beforehand, it could be because they don't cover the specific manufacturer the pharmacy used to fill your script with that time around.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Anyway, I said fuck that, my middle name is "problem." I'm gonna raise hell over this because this is BULLSHIT. And thank fucking fuck I did because I will no longer have to withdraw for the rest of the weekend in misery thanks to it.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

It's not that I forgot that not taking a med you've taken consistently for years will make you withdraw. I guess it's just that I forgot just how shitty it can make you feel when you do.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

And it crossed my mind to not be so difficult because I've already been without this med for like a fucking week due to my pure lack of motivation and care to not withdraw from my fucking medications like a moron. But now that I'm sick and feeling like absolute SHIT, I considered withdrawal.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Ohhhhh I am raising hell with my insurance on Monday when they open. Thank fuck for me being a stubborn bitch and asking for a supervisor too. The regular employee I spoke to told me I'd have to wait until Monday to talk to HAP about it rather than the prescription people. Smfh.

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

A difference of fucking $70. For a different manufacturer. Fucking asinine. Absurd. I've never heard of something so fucking ridiculous. And why in the EVER LOVING FUCK is that not something that the pharmacists can access so they don't fill a script with the wrong manufacturer????

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Tell me WHY IN THE FUCK a health insurance company would ONLY cover the generic (understandable), but then only SOME of the manufacturers of the generic???? If you're gonna be bitches and not cover it because it's name brand, at least cover all generic! Like what in the actual fuck?

000

Caitlin Poffenbarger @poffenbarger17.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I'm so fucking infuriated with my insurance right fucking now. This shit is getting changed FIRST CHANCE I get because FUCK HAP. They've been covering one of my antidepressants since MARCH, no problem. And what do I finally find out after a half hour on the phone? ITS THE MANUFACTURER.

000
