I was given 3 1mg pills. I took one an hour ago, another a half hour ago, and just took the third. I'm feeling nicely weightless and worry free. And they've got what might be the reboot of Tron playing in the waiting room, while I'm reading a Scalzi book about collapsing empires and foul-mouthed Emperoxes. I think I'll be all right.

@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic Hoping the Ativan provides you some relief this time or that they have another great drug that helps you. I had an MRI years ago and I have absolutely no idea how I managed it.

@amro@strangeobject.space @actuallyautistic

The first one I hit the panic button after 20 seconds, and they documented that I was non-compliant and refused medical procedure. The second one they gave me Ativan - don't know how much - and when it did nothing gave me Versed. It's an amnesiac, so I remember nothing of the second, but I'm told I was very cooperative. Versed isn't an option this time, so it's just Ativan - but more of it.

@actuallyautistic

I'm front-loading my stress meltdown for my upcoming MRI. I have 3mg of Ativan to take for it, but there's a voice in my head that keeps telling me I don't react like other people to tranquilizers. I never have. And I'm flashing back to my first one (without medication) and the feeling of that restraint pressing on my chest, and the tube wall 4" in front of my face, and the noise...

I wish this was over. I wish I could stop thinking about it.

Shame on the Israeli Parliament for passing laws stripping their courts of power to block government decisions. This anti-democratic action sends the country down a dark path, indeed.

girl are you the Barbie Movie because wow a lot of men are angry that you weren’t specifically created to appeal to them

With practice, you can also use "OK" to be "You're completely full of shit, but I'm not going to argue with you." Leslie Jordan perfected it in the movie Sordid Lives.

@autism101 @actuallyautistic

Also, I can scale the intonation of the "ok" to fit how truthful I feel comfortable being.
"ok."
"ok..."
"ok!"

@justyourluck Really sorry to hear this. Sounds like folks there haven't experienced very high temperatures before.

Tips from an Australian:
- stay indoors
- if you must go outside, carry a spray bottle of tap water and spritz yourself frequently
- apply 30+ UV cream to all exposed skin
- walk on the shaded side of the street
- shade yourself with an umbrella
- wear a broad-brimmed hat
- do not get into a car that's been parked in the sun
- drink a LOT of water, around 2- 3 pints in 8 hours
- if you stop sweating, it's a medical emergency.
- if there's no aircon, drape wet towels over yourself
- to get more from your aircon, limit the amount of space it has to cool by turning off some rooms/ shutting doors
- if the aircon is not enough, turn on a fan as well

Stay safe, people.πŸ’œ

@KaCi

It's considered a safety setting. I also changed the setting the first time I had a power outage in the middle of the night.
The downside is that turning the wall switch off and on won't affect the lights, if they're not responding to signals from the hub. Like when your wifi goes down.

Shortly after midnight I woke up because a bright light shined directly into my eyes. I got up, totally confused and realised that all the lights containing the dimmable Phillips Hue lamps were shining at maximum power. This happened because of the settings in the hue app on how to react to power failures. If you are using these kind of lamps, maybe you should check the settings too.

Fuck Jason Aldean,
and if you’re a fan of his,
Fuck YOU, too.

Be a better person.
Listen to Tim McGraw; he’s a decent person whose art, music, and values are more in line with America’s best qualities and greatest promises.
