Probably because of the Orange Turd that we called a President here in the US, I'm guessing.
I originally posted this to my Twitter, but I wanted to share it here with some slight modifications before I went to bed. Didn't feel right not to also share it here, y'know? My audience is bigger on Twitter, but at the same time I feel the LGBTQ community here is more tight-knit.
To all the LGBTQ folks out there - you keep doing you, and you keep being proud of who you are.
Regardless of your sexual/romantic orientation, gender identity, gender expression, etc.
YOU ARE VALID, and you have the right to be who you are.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
But if you're a company, and all you do is change your banners and colors for a month? Post a message of inclusiveness and diversity with no action?
Fuck that. That ain't pride at all.
You have the power to DO SOMETHING. To make life BETTER for LGBTQ+ people.
Put up or shut up. Do better.
The experiences and pride of LGBTQ+ Individuals are wonderful. I love seeing those from people. And every year it seems like I see people I didn't know gain the courage and confidence to speak out and share their stories. So that's the part about this month I like.
So, it's LGBTQ pride month now. I have a love/hate relationship with this month. A big reason why I hate it is because every single company comes out and just pays lip service to the idea of pride without actually DOING anything. Even thought they have the power to make changes.
Oh my god Google that is not what DDNOS means.
For anyone curious, DDNOS means "Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified"
AI being used in this way sucks.
Well, here's one that isn't great - this is effectively confirming the biases of anyone making the search even if the information is technically correct.
Was wondering if I could get Google's AI feature to give incorrect information on Dissociative Identity Disorder. So far it seems to give textbook information and nothing too far blatantly out there, at least.
Been struggling with identity a bit lately. I think we all have, and our emotions are all over the place. This is where having a therapist who specializes in dissociation would be very helpful, but we haven't found one yet. Having a three day weekend has been very helpful, however.
Our Cen indeed. But only ours. Doesn't belong to anyone else.
Oh thank gods, I can hear Liz again. Not very well, but I can.
That is a person who needs more Lalafell in their life.
Even other DID/OSDD/Plural systems might not understand this... but people who are twins might. It's why the two of us compare ourselves to being like "twin alters", rather than simply just host and co-host.
Not being able to speak to the most important person in your life SUCKS.
Ended up frontstuck, so @androidliz.bsky.social and the others aren't able to communicate with me. This happens from time to time, but every time it's difficult. It's especially painful because I've been cut off from the one person who knows me better than anyone else.
Over 28 minutes to schedule medical transportation rides for what would have taken five minutes on the website. Thank you for cutting costs and switching providers, healthcare. Really appreciate that.
Got appointments scheduled to follow up with my doctors about my back. Unfortunately, my work is insisting on having me do overtime that is likely going to hurt the very same back and hands being impacted by arthritis. I'm kind of baffled by this, to be honest. This was sprung on me out of nowhere.
Guess this was foreshadowing to me taking the morning off today. My back is in a lot of pain still.
Feeling extremely down emotionally right now. My body is hurting me really bad right now, and while I can take pain meds for it, I still have to go to work tomorrow. I may need a steroid shot, but it would be a minimum of three days to get one due to the medical transportation...
My eyesight is not very great too, and I know the reason why I don't feel worse is because I've simply got decent sleep for a lot. I am probably severely overworked and trying to do too many things at once. Not sure what the solution is.

I talked about this on my Twitter, but the ad is awful more so because it's just a terrible and un-Apple like ad. Why go through so much effort to destroy stuff with a hydraulic press when you can convey how awesome the iPad is in much more Apple like ways?
I, I, I hear those voices always calling after me. Feels like I'm trapped inside. Running in my head, running in my head, yeah...
I, I, I'm always chasing shadows never wait for me. Feels like I'm way behind. I'm running in my head, running in my head...
Happy Mother's Day. Especially to all the wonderful moms out there who stand by their children no matter how unusually weird and eccentric their children may be, and never given up on them.
Oops I'm at the final boss of Hades 2.
Oops he kicked my ass.
Making huge progress into Hades 2 so far. Moreover, I'm also getting VERY GOOD at it.
This ad is stupid, sure, but what exactly is there to be outraged by it?
Oh no they crushed a bunch of stuff into a tiny tablet. This is CLEARLY symbolic of… crushing creative expression… or something? I don’t fucking know.
No I haven't put nearly eight hours into #Hades2 after buying it last night. I have no idea what you're talking about... also DEATH TO CHRONOS.
Betrayed Shipt for Instacart. I have committed the greatest of sins. But I wanted the greater variety of shops and they offered me a deal on Instacart+
There shall be no escape from this sin.😭

I think we can all agree at this point that the Activision-Blizzard and Bethesda purchases should have been blocked. It was a mistake to allow them to go through given the damage they've caused.
I love how I was just talking about how massive the brand damage those closures were, and here Microsoft is going to do even more of it. Good job, Microsoft.
Here's what's really going on at Xbox this week: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Microsoft’s Xbox Is Planning More Cuts After Studio Closings
Xbox is offering voluntary severance agreements to producers, quality assurance testers and other staff at ZeniMax as part of a broader cost-cutting initiative
www.bloomberg.comEh, Occam's razor and all that. Most logical answer is that shareholders wanted costs cut somewhere, and this is where they decided to do so. Not realizing the long term implications of doing so.
The brand damage from Xbox closing those studios is massive. It feels like it’s all anyone has talked about in the gamine industry since it’s happened. The long term benefits of closing those studios couldn’t POSSIBLY have been worth it at all. What did Microsoft hope to achieve here?
There used to be a time when a burger was $4-5.
But now unless you live near an In-N-Out or a very good local place, that time is long gone. Burgers are like $8-12 minimum.
Our wages haven't gone up tho.
Tango Gameworks literally made one of their best games EVER with Hi-Fi Rush and Microsoft is SHUTTING IT DOWN?!
What in the unholy mother of fuck?!
I rarely buy books on Kindle, as I prefer Google Play, but this book is one that both @androidliz.bsky.social and myself wanted to read for very personal reasons. It was also cheap to buy a digital copy as well. I do wonder if the author is still alive. We may wish to thank her.
Learning more about Shirley Mason (Sybil) has been an interesting experience. There is a lot about her that goes beyond just her experiences with Dissociative Identity Disorder and plurality that you just don't hear about. Especially from one of her closest friends.
Just introduced @kiraqueen870.bsky.social to the wonderful world of Nihon Falcom music.
This thread is so weird. Seeing a bunch of people pinning for a pre-smartphone life that never actually existed. The idea that people someone "disconnected" more and were more engaged in the world around them is EXTREME rose tinted glasses. People were in their bubbles before smartphones.
I have discovered the wonderful world of Vertical Tabs + Tab Stacking on Vivaldi. I don't think I can go back ever now.
Look at this absolute beauty.

That being said, if the meds stop working before I see the other neurologist, I'm in trouble. Both me and the neurologist agreed that I cannot tolerate the side effects if we were to increase the dosage...
