do not like the idea that we can only be proud of our madness if and where we reject notion of illness. first it's false; second its needlessly epistemically limiting; third it reproduces the precise kinds of normative hierarchies we need to overcome.

Friendly reminder as the weather heats up: if you take SSRIs or SNRIs, they can make you heat intolerant. The fix? Electrolytes. Liquid IV, Gatorade, hell just some extra salt on really hot days - took me a couple years to figure this out.

Covid tests are not reliable and you're probably doing them wrong anyway.

My only story about Macklemore: Macklemore came to Chicago for some social justice panel. He was on the panel with a Black woman who community organizes in Woodlawn. She didn't know who he was and he never met her. She told him to donate to an organization and he did.

Still alive, still not well, frequently crying without any specific prompting, no ability to control it in public so you know, that’s a thing now. honestly, would not recommend.

i’ve seen police beating women.

So a lot is happening in my life. Health wise, and otherwise. Words are hard today so I'll keep it simple. Please share and/or donate if you can/wish. Thank you.

probs my most radical belief is that there should not be a class of ppl who are privileged enough to access knowledge that the ppl they help cannot access themselves.

This is good actually! If you're poor or undocumented, arrest & suspension can utterly derail your life. The people who can afford to take risks should be taking them the most.
