what do you think about ketamine treatment for treatment resistant depression? Not to be the guy on tumblr that goes like WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE DEATH PENALTY!!! And stuff but I was just thinking about how wild it is as a drug user that suddenly it’s fine to be dependent on a drug if it’s in a hospital. Like suddenly you’re not a drug addict. You could say this about antidepressants in general as well or for adhd medication and it’s just crazy to me

ketamine tx doesn't work like that you usually have to go to a special clinic for an infusion for it like 2x a week at most. like even in people who experience long term effects of it, that's not because the drug is bioactive for that entire time. i think it peaks at like 10 hours or 24 or something. so we're not talking 'dependence' chemically in the same way that you can see with drugs that are taken daily or more frequently.

mostly what i find funny with stuff like "ketamine has an antidepressant effect" is like, depression (like every psych dx) is identified by how the person feels; there is no biomarker or brain scan or whatever. so really all we are saying is "ketamine makes people feel good" and then expressing that with terminology considered sufficiently 'scientific' to justify the observation. it's just another manifestation of the way medical and legal authorities are so squeamish about experiencing pleasure, and professionally dependent on regulating it, that they have to pathologise either the pleasure itself ('cheap dopamine' -> behavioural addictions) or the lack of it ('chemical imbalance' myths, getting diagnosed as aberrantly sad so that doing a drug that feels good is not self indulgent but medically necessary).

anyway personally i would deeply and genuinely rather kill myself in public than do any kind of dissociative in front of a) doctors or b) mba degree holders, so these ketamine clinics are not for me, but i hope everyone using them is having fun or whatever

-Oklahoma is native you can’t change my mind‼️

-he hates school because he was forced to go to a reservation school (for reference reservation school’s basically tried to erase native culture. Cut their hair, forced em to speak English, etc.)

-he has hair like down to his ankles, ohh it’s long long

-he can speak multiple native languages, even some dead languages

-he has a twin sister because before he was Oklahoma he was the ‘twin territory’s’ her name is Sequoyah because that’s the state she wanted to be, but she got rejected 😔

-he’s veryy overprotective of his tribes, because of what Gov did to them

-one of the few states that have a alive family and healthy(ish) family

-his family is the tribes

-sometime in like the 1910s Florida pranked Oklahoma by doing the lil hair dye trick. Oklahoma still hasn’t gotten the chance to cut it off, so now he has a lil bit of pink at the tips.

-strictly does not drink, (go look at a map for reference ) but for sure smoke weed.

-bros for sure bi-polar. I mean not even with weather, but with literally everything. Bros history is just straight-up bi-polar.

-one day he woke with a cat in his bed. He didn’t own a cat at the time. Now he does.

-he was literally legally blind at a time during the dustbowl, he should probably wear glasses now buttt he doesn’t wanna look stupid 🥲 (idiot)

-bros brutally honest. Like meanly honest

-bros got trust issues. Very badd trust issues. Like the Government broke well over 500 treaties with his people. Like good lord 🤠

-he’s the typa person to put his hair through the hole in the back of the hat, but it’ll still fall off (I worded that weirdly my b)

-bird cause why not? Specifically scissor-tail.

-I feel like he has ADHD but is undiagnosed. Like he also knows he probably has it, but he doesn’t wanna know yk?

-yk how him and Texas hate each other? I feel like they’re used to being around each other though so they unconsciously get close w/o talking (sorry it’s the Ok/Tx in me talking 😔)

-bros got hella endurance- cause yea

-he could for sure fly an airplane, but can’t drive a car at alllll💀

-one time he passed put during a meeting during a bad tornado, and everybody just sat there stunned for a second or two.

-We all agree the states can’t die right? (I think figured out sometime in the 70s/80s, cause Gov thought they already knew lmao.) cause I think this dumbass actually died a few times before they all knew, but he thought he passed out lol. Same thing w/ TX

WTTT Artists. I have a little thing for y’all if you need inspiration. 

I have this day calendar thing with different punny comics. And I was just looking through it because ADHD. When I cam across this one

[Image Description: A ‘The Argyle Sweater’ comic on a day-by-day calendar. The comic feature 4 state outlines, each one with their initials. The Florida (FL) outline is laying on the ground next to a ladder with swirls and stars coming from their head. The California (CA) outline stare at Florida. Behind then the Texas (TX) outline says “Do Something!”. The Maryland (MD) outline responds “How many times do I have to tell you, I’m not a doctor!” End ID]

Being a Table fan made the comic so much sillier. So I thought I would share it. And if any artists are in need of an idea here you go. If not- it’s still a funny comic

If you know me outside of Tumblr, don't tell my mom

I said goodbye to my old car last night. Vivid green 2012 Hyundai Accent hatchback. That thing had stellar fuckin gas mileage (for a non-hybrid anyway, I could squeeze like 40mpg out of it if I tried), hauled around way too much shit, played FAFO with black ice, was stolen in Amarillo, TX and recovered south of Oklahoma City, OK - and for context, I live in Indianapolis - back in 2018, and transported many friends and even some coworkers. It also has had kernels of dry field corn in the floorboard for the past two years. Oh, and I broke the frickin passenger side mirror by backing out of the garage too close.

Her name was Arachnaverde because she was green and I kept an anatomically incorrect spider skeleton (halloween decoration) on the dashboard. Spood's job was to let me know when I was taking a turn too fast. He would skitter away if I did.

Prior to Arachnaverde, I had a 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme that I called Madame Blueberry. She was a lovely teal color, had two doors, and I once forgot an entire watermelon in the back floorboard in college and it rotted and stank so badly. -4/10 do not recommend. Also her trunk had loose soybeans from when I took a few dried soybean plants for some reason or another. ADHD be like that sometimes.

Prior to Madame Blueberry, I had an unnamed charcoal gray 89 Mercury Grand Marquis. This car had one interesting anecdote, and 3 notable events.

In the long long ago when I was still in junior college (2 year college for people who live in states that don't fuck with junior colleges), I left it overnight in the college parking lot for some reason I no longer recall. When I retrieved it in the morning, someone had used car window paint to write "HOOPTY" on the back windshield. To be fair, it was.

That car was how I learned not to leave a can of silly string in a hot car. Did you know if a can of silly string gets hot enough it will straight up explode? I didn't until I found a really messy plastic bag and blue spatters all over the roof of my car.

I used to park under a specific tree in front of the house, because I lived with my parents on a farm, and the garage was for my mom's vehicle, no one else's. Dad's main ride parked in the patch of ground between the barnyard fence and the garage (dad's parking spot, mostly), and the farm truck parked in the barnyard. Anyway, point is, I parked under a tree which worked quite well for many years except at the very end a large fragment of dead tree pierced my car *right* in front of the hood so I had a rough rectangle of Missing Car for the tail end of my ownership.

Anyway, I've known for months that I needed to get a new car. Needed new front struts, a replacement sensor in the steering column, new back brakes, new front tires.... I tried back in May but for some reason the car I found just didn't vibe with me (Mitsubishi Mirage). It was kinda noisy, very basic. Also very cheap.

Last week, the stars aligned and I found a hopeful prospect with low mileage, decent mpg, and within my budget.

So now I have a new-to-me brick of tofu (white Kia Soul 2020).

I have said my farewells to the green beast, and look forward to what kind of adventures I'll get into with the as-of-yet-unnamed toaster.

So far the best name I've come up with is Tofungus because I am awful. I definitely want to give it a black horizontal stripe and add the "Fujiwara Tofu Shop" decal to the side because i'm a fuckin weeb and also did you know there's a sequel to Initial D this season? I'm enjoying it.

As for the second rule, please be kind! Allow me to add a side note, if you ask me why I don’t want to talk about politics/religion I will gladly answer that question. Please respect my boundaries. I do not want to block anyone, but this is my safe space and if anyone continues to violate my boundaries after I have politely communicated them, I will have to block them. I love you all, and I hope that we can have fun thirsting over men!

Sincerely,

Clay!

[inconveniently-discorporated]

My first time going out of the country was an accident, and we were detained. I mean, it must've looked pretty suspicious when an older man and a teenage girl with no ID said, "Sorry, we weren't actually trying to go to Canada, we were trying to go to Texas."

Yeah, I know -- so, what happened was that we were moving to Texas from California.

Yeah. I know.

See, before THAT happened, when I was 9, my dad took me on a cross-country road trip, because he didn't trust planes, and we were all visiting family. My brother and mom flew to the east coast, and my dad and I had the absolute best time. I wrote a lot of poetry (which really impressed my dad and was the beginning of a lifelong passion for writing), I saw a lot of different, amazing things, including an intense lightning storm (that happened as we were passing through the middle of nowhere, nothing in sight, with tornado warnings on the radio -- that was terrifying, but still amazing).

So, when I graduated -- the same summer we were going to move -- I requested another road trip with my dad. I wanted to visit where he grew up, which we did. Amazing memories I still have to this day, going through all the little towns as he talked about his storied past. For the final act, we went to Niagara Falls -- it was beautiful, and also the thing that led to us being detained while our car was completely and totally tossed by Canadian authorities.

Since we were moving to Texas, we wanted to go and take a look at potential places to rent. My mom was going to fly there with my brother (she had bad knees -- car trips were excruciating), and we were going to begin the trip down after visiting the falls.

Now, I couldn't go to the Canadian side, because my parents hadn't actually let me start driving, nor had I gotten any kind of official picture ID. Why? I don't know, I'm actually still bitter about it to this day. I was quite a responsible teenager, the most wild thing I did was skip lunch and spend my lunch money on Lord of the Rings merchandise at the mall instead. And I didn't have my student ID, because I had undiagnosed ADHD at the time (I still have ADHD but it's now diagnosed), and was QUITE ready to be over and done with anything having to do with any academic institute.

So, when my dad and I got our fill of the American side of the falls (I'm told it's not as good as the Canadian side -- oh well, I at least got dippin dots, which by the way have yet to become the ice cream of the future), we climbed into the car, loaded up "Austin, TX" on our GPS, and set off on our next adventure.

It was one of those really old newfangled Garmin things, because my dad never taught me how to use a paper map (remember that), and besides, my dad was freshly retired (they had kids later in life) and he wanted to know what it was like to experience some of the latest advances in modern luxuries.

This thing wasn't Google. It was a dumb smart GPS. There was nothing, apparently, telling it "avoid going outside of the country for this trip". Although, looking back on it, I suppose there could've been a setting for that. We certainly ASSUMED it wouldn't take us out of the country. Maybe we were the dumb smart ones. But, I digress.

We started seeing signs for Canada. But, our GPS kept trucking on. We got a little nervous, but surely it would know? There must've been some other road, another exit? By the time we realized that we were wrong, it was too late. There was nowhere to turn around. There was nowhere to get off. We were in it and we were headed for the border, we would just have to hope that they would let us pull a quick turnaround and let us get out of there.

Well, they didn't.

My dad was immediately very apologetic when we got to the window. "We're really sorry, we didn't mean to come this way," he said, "we were actually trying to get to Texas. This stupid GPS took us this way and we didn't know, could we please just turn around?"

LOL, no. The agent was immediately suspicious. And, I mean -- fair.

He wanted to see my dad's ID (which, if you remember, was from California). He then wanted to see my ID. I didn't have one. Did I have another picture ID? No. Did I even have a student ID? Also no.

"I have a library card," I offered.

"Does it have a picture on it?" the agent asked.

"Oh," I said. "No."

"Okay -- sir -- could you please pull up to that building over there?"

So, that's how that happened.

They were really quite confused, and my dad was increasingly more stressed out by the minute. His go-to coping mechanism was always humor, so the GPS suffered a lot of (polite) abuse and besmirching as we were questioned by a couple agents inside.

Finally, one of the agents had pulled out a map, and had figured out what the GPS was trying to do. You see, there was a road just barely inside of Canada that went around the falls, and that one was apparently much faster than just turning around and going the stupid old American way all the way through. So, the poor little thing was really only trying to help, it just ended up costing us much more time than it was going to save us.

And so, at last, with my dad barely holding back the sweat and the contents of our luggage strewn about the car, we were permitted to leave, so long as we left IMMEDIATELY. And we did, swiftly.

I'm happy to report that the rest of the trip was quite uneventful.

That's not to say that our MOVE was uneventful. No, that was Detained in Canada 2.0, only instead of getting detained in a foreign country, we busted up a bank drive-thru trying to turn around after getting lost in a random Los Angeles neighborhood at night, because my dad didn't pay attention to the clearance sign and wasn't used to driving a box truck.

Why were we lost in a random Los Angeles neighborhood at night? Because my dad didn't trust the GPS anymore, so he decided to only use paper maps. Only, he got impatient with the Los Angeles traffic, and tried to go around it, then making me copilot navigate using a paper map that didn't really show a lot of detail for surface streets, when I had never used a paper map before.

I still remember him yelling at me, "I just need to know if these roads connect! How do I get back on the highway?!"

"I don't know," I yelled back, squinting at the paper held right up to my face, because paper doesn't pinch-zoom. "I think it connects?! It looks like it?! The lines are touching??!!"

Spoiler: it didn't connect.

But we made it through. I lived down south for a whole year, but I barely count it, because I was borderline agoraphobic at the time and went outside maybe ten times.

So, anyway -- that is the story of the first time I technically left the country, and was subsequently detained for an hour.

(PS: I did go back to Canada, properly, about ten years later, with my husband. We royally fucked up though, and thought we could stop at the duty free place to get some Canadian money, because we had NO idea what the hell a duty free store actually was. We were then forced to leave the country and re-enter. We almost didn't, but I was DETERMINED to visit Canada this time, and besides, we had a bunch of Canadian money. The whole time, I was thinking, "Here we go again, we're going to be pulled over and searched. Hopefully they just turn us away."

They didn't. They weren't exactly friendly about it, but they let us through again after explaining. It probably helped that I had sufficient identification that time.)

(PPS: We never ended up having to pay damages for the bank thing, somehow, unless my dad just covered it up out of shame. I was just glad we made it to Texas in one piece with all of our stuff, most of which we ended up throwing away because we didn't want it anymore by the time we got there.)

(PPPS: Canada was lovely. The second time, not the first.)
