I love genuine questions and people putting in the effort to love and understand each other better. If you come at me just wanting to argue I’m going to troll you back. FAFO.

  • Honestly this is my take as a gnostic towards the Zionist Christians (like my parents). You mean you’re really gonna kick off the Apocalypse and drag Jesus down here like a toddler demanding attention from daddy? Like they’ve told me what’s going on in the middle east is just part of Jesus coming back. Even if we genuinely assume all of this is 100% true when interpreted 100% literally how in the actual fuck do you think Jesus is gonna be happy to have to be dragged down to save us TWICE.




  • So. Fun educational fact about sleep hygiene!

    You’re supposed to wake up a tiny bit every 2 hours every night (4x if you’re getting 8hrs!). There’s various States of consciousness that are SUPPOSED to occur over a 2hr sleep cycle every time you sleep and one of them is a slightly lucid state where a healthy body shifts position to avoid pressure ulcers!

    So if you find yourself waking up at night just use the minimum an amount of consciousness you can to think about which position you’re in and pick one of the other flat positions in this picture to put yourself in. Then will yourself back to sleep as well as you can.

    Go forth and do yourself some sleepmaxxing!



  • A rare success story with a $25 online doctor was having them confirm my knee pain was from squatting wrong at work and how to correct my form and which exercises to do while idling. It helps that I had the background to google the muscle anatomy of the knee, pinpoint which muscle / ligament felt wrong, then google what usually causes that, see frequent squatting on the list, and immediately correlate that to the experience of being a nurse on a unit where none of the beds are motorized (on a proper medical unit the beds just raise the whole patient to working height. I have to get my whole self down to that level if a patient requires more intensive care, which is why we’re not supposed to get patients that need ADL assistance but I digress).







  • Most anything when you program in the right Pavlovian triggers. Essential / scent oils make some of the best sensory triggers for a trained somatic response because they’re so varied and you can usually pick a super specific one so you’re less likely to trigger it randomly in everyday life.

    Literally just meditate or do something low energy but flow state where your heart rate is low while running it through a diffuser. Do that at least 3 times a week, but ideally daily for a few weeks. Then you can start carrying some saturated swabs in a small sealed container and just whip them out and sniff them when you need to calm down a little. You do have to make sure you keep meditating / chilling to the scent more than you use it for distressing situations because otherwise it becomes programmed more to the distress.

    Hint: it’s mostly toxic masculinity about a man letting (possibly another man) touch his balls or butt. Also your man boobs can get cancer whether you’ve got em or not (technically all of you got em whether obesity has offered them some extra adipose or not, hence the cells available to possibly cause cancer).






  • I’ve had some baller dreams now I’ve been on clonidine for a bit then started trying Valerian again. Clonidine helps prevent nightmares (so does prazosin, another blood pressure med) and valerian is famous for great sleep but with weirdly vivid dreams so I’ve just been having the craziest adventures every sleep for a bit and it’s great.
