#I need a new prescription tho

[no-one-hears-me]

I wish I had good eyesight

[guinevereslancelot]

eye doctor was trying not to scare me today bc i have a sight threatening condition 🥲 it's probably treatable but i need to go to a specialist

[moonchild-in-blue]

also i have my optometry appointment tomorrow 👍

[minminambus]

EEK! Silly ramble below!

[lexosaurus]

Yeah the motion sickness stuff goes away in a couple days. It’s just your eyes adjusting. Lay down if you need to and enjoy your new 1080p HD vision!

Yeah I went on 2 walks/hikes and only almost faceplanted over roots like a few times! Definitely got a little queasy when there was a Lot happening around me but otherwise it was relatively fine and my eyes are starting to adjust already.

Thank you to everyone for the reassurances! Glasses gang unite!

my voice started changing SO fast on T like the first changes i noticed were around three weeks and now it's been like six-ish weeks on 0.3 (a pretty low dose) and my voice is noticably deeper and cracking when i try to pitch it too high. really wasn't expecting this to happen for like a year im really pleased :)

it's rly rly funny to like. have The Transgender Glasses (either the plastic tortoise shell round frames, the clear plastic round frames, or the harry potter round wire frames) and be like hmmm i gotta stop having the same glasses as every single other he/they what would be really different. maybe like the 2000s sort of narrower rectangular/oval frames??? and then realizing all the he/theys are also wearing those now, probably because we all had the same thought of oof time to change it up.

[collecting--stardust]

TIL that my right eye had gone haywire and shit

[arctic-hands]

Getting your payment a day early but being unable to pay rent that's due tomorrow because your phone is in the repair shop for who knows how long (they closed today still having my phone) and your bank's site never works on your desktop for some reason

[twopercentboy]

Have you ever hand once hand over one eye and had them both open?

Because of course I can still see forqard, but you're there too

Hazy and unfocused but still ever-present

and if I don't want to see the world

I can see you instead

and that's a world I can see with my eyes wide shut

PoetAnon

this is so cute 🥺 I do find it a little funny bc I read the first line and all I could think of was going to the optometrist bc of having glasses since I was 3 or 4 😭 "put ur hand over ur left eye and read the smallest line, okay now switch 😁"

anyway very relatable I do a similar thing at night when I'm trying to sleep giggle

also this is much more side tangent but I do this thing when I'm reading in bed where one eye ends up blocked (sometimes accidentally by a pillow sometimes intentionally covered) so my other does all the work to read (it's usually easier to read w just that eye too) and I recently realized that the eye that ends up covered is my weaker eye and that my eyesight in that eye has gotten worse the last couple years (and the other has gotten better) so now I'm very aware of that habit and the way it affects my vision (it also makes those eye patches they made me wear as a kid make a lot more sense)

point is (I don't think I had an actual point) a world that I can see clearly with my eyes wide anything is so foreign, it's always hazy and unfocused 🤭

[terranatior]

Frustrated that this appointment has taken over an hour now but the staff is being soooo sweet and nice and obviously I don't begrudge any of them but just. Rattles the bars of 2023 doctor offices.

Counterintuitively, Jason trafficking drugs himself, and the way he treats drug dealers in general is actually one of the core reasons I do believe he has a real moral backbone.

In Lost Days we see him mention that he killed his small arms teacher because the smack he was dealing was poisoned. In Nightwing (2016) Annual #2 Jason is particularly violent towards their enemy because he cut his heroin with other substances, leading to his mother's first overdose. In Under the Red Hood, his most important rule is 'no selling to kids', and he is specifically employing people who do sell drugs to adults.

Playing a bit of Headcanon Jazz here - listening to the notes Jason doesn't play as much as the ones he does - It feels really notable to me that dealing drugs is not enough to get on Jason's shit list. On some level Jason thinks it's okay to deal drugs. Even more importantly: Jason doesn't at all imply that drug users are at fault - nor that they need to have the choice to use taken from them 'for their own good'. Heck, I can't remember any instance of him saying that doing drugs is a bad thing.

He has lived with and cared for someone struggling with an addiction that she died to, which would have made it really easy to take him in a 'no leniency, no tolerance, kill all drug dealers and burn all the crack so no one can smoke it' road. Yet that's the opposite of how he's operating.

And I'm putting all that together to get a Jason who firmly believes in harm reduction and that when it comes to drugs, people have a right to risk; they have a right to choose to use. I don't think it's too much further of a stretch to say that he thinks that those who do use should be supported by infrastructure ensuring that their drugs are uncut and properly dosed and that they should have safe places to use and well funded rehab options if they want to quit.

This whole thing is so important to me because it lies completely outside of his emotional conflict of 'I wasn't avenged'; it's proof that there was more to Jason's talk about running Gotham differently than simply killing people.

Factually, there are a huge number of criminal activities that could be used to improve the lives of vulnerable people.

I firmly believe that no government has the right to detain, imprison, deport, et.c. people fleeing violence and persecution in their country of origin. A criminal organization that genuinely had their best interest in mind who could provide access to new identities, jobs, housing, and paperwork for cheap could save and change hundreds of lives. Sex workers, especially survival sex workers who want to quit and move on to a new job, could benefit enormously from protection from the cops, and from landlords kicking them out, and the ability to get criminal charges purged from their records, and lots of other stuff. People who use street drugs need a lot of the same things, as do people who need access to medication but for whatever reason can't get prescriptions the legal way.

This is all stuff that is already a staple of organized crime - they just do it in ways that are insanely abusive and exploitative.

It makes sense that Jason would look at that and think he could make it work! Honestly I'd love to read a comic about him trying! He could be the pinnacle of Be Gay Do Crime! Sadly though, it's very unlikely we ever will, especially because his term as a drug lord was so incredibly short to begin with. Under the Red Hood, a tiny snippet of Robin (1993) and Green Arrow (2001) #69 - #72 is really all we get, and none of those really got into the politics of his organization either.

Tho, there is a tiny snippet we possibly see in Seeing Red, my favorite Jason run ever, and I will take any excuse to talk about it so here we go lol!

This is a comic in which Batman gets some things wrong about Jason, and might be straight up lying to Green Arrow in places too, so I don't think we can take his word for it when he says Jason is driving up the trade. Especially not when Jason hasn't given a single flying fuck about collecting wealth for himself in basically any other appearance ever.

Is he using drugs as a trading good to some capacity? Yes, that's a minor plot point here, however, I think justice is very present in his reasoning. I think Jason is being selective with which shipments he's keeping - testing each and destroying the stuff that's extra dangerous, making sure that what's getting used is as safe as it can be. Plus, he might be reducing the supply so that drug trade can't expand, while considering complete elimination to be flatly undesirable, since it could force users to go cold turkey, something that can be dangerous, or at least very painful.

Now, obviously this is still headcanon territory, we never really see into Jason's head about this specific topic, but I do feel like it's a reasonable way to fill in that gap!

Anyways, this is why I've never felt like Jason's disagreements with Bruce's methods were purely about his own emotional desires. There's too much else surrounding that which he clearly also cares about.

pharmacy tips from a pharmacy technician:

if you live in the US, check to see what your state laws are for emergency refills (there are multiple tables with multiple updates, ctrl+f to see your state)

if you have a drug that can't have refills (so you have to get a new rx every time you fill), ask your prescriber if you can get multiple prescriptions queued. ex: sending in 2 prescriptions for adderall at once, but with one saying "do not fill until 09/01/2024" on it. idk if every state allows this (and some prescribers might say no anyway), but it may be worth asking

dick pills are so common. they are so so common. the cute lady handling your tadalafil has already filled 5 others today for people younger than you. its mundane job shit. it wont be weird unless you make it weird

google often tells you how busy a pharmacy is hour-by-hour. if you think there might be weird shit with your insurance, youre likely to get more attentive care if the techs arent doing 6 things at once. if you need the full attention of multiple techs and the pharmacist crowding around the computer, youre far more likely to get that during a slow hour

we know what goodrx is. we know this. i get why youre upset, i really am sorry, but if i say i've run it through the discount, i have. i am not getting kickbacks from the manufacturer, and have no incentive to lie and jack up the price. its worth asking why exactly insurance isnt covering it tho, cause maybe itll cover a smaller day supply or similar drug.... maybe

if youre worried that your family member may be stealing your drugs (via picking them up on your behalf and not telling you), ask the tech to make a note saying not to sell it to anyone other than you (or any other exception you wanna make). their system may also be able to send you texts whenever your meds are picked up

if you just got out of the hospital with an opioid script, ask if you can get it as a physical copy instead of them faxing it to somewhere. you cant transfer those to other pharmacies after its been sent, they would have to rewrite one for you. some places have opioids in time-locked safes and cannot fill them after certain hours, but if you have a physical copy you can just take it somewhere else

1, 2, 6, 27, 31 & 42 for the 50 questions ask game!

1.) What are three shows in your watchlist that you’ve been meaning to get to?

I answered this one already with more detail, but I'll summarize it again here: My list is pretty short right now, all I've got is Agatha All Along (even though I'm kinda sick of marvel rn, it DOES sound interesting), Pokemon XY (for some reason 👀🤔), and Rivals (SOLEY because David Tennant is in it, I'm not excited to watch it at all, it seems boring tbh. Maybe I'll be wrong and I'll love it, who knows 🤷‍♀️)

2.) Describe your favorite pair of socks

I don't have a favorite pair of socks, I HATEEEE socks. They are a sensory nightmare for me. Not a big fan of shoes either tbh. Especially close toed shoes. I am barefoot as often as I can be lol.

6.) What do you use to keep your place when you’re reading a book?

Whatever random scrap of paper I can find closest to me lol. Envelopes and receipts are common. Tbh though I mostly read on my kindle or phone nowadays. Lighter, easier to hold, lots of books at once, and I like that I can increase the font size (......maybe I need a new glasses prescription tbh 😂)

27.) Do you have any keychains on your home or car keys? Describe them!

Yeah I've got several keychains on my keys actually! The main/biggest one is a mini squishmallow keychain. Its light purple, and I think it's supposed to be a squirrel maybe? It's wearing a flower crown. Then attached to that I also have a coin purse keychain that I use as a wallet, it's got colorful stripes. Then I also have a little piece of black tourmaline crystal on a keychain. And I have a little tiny mini urn keychain with some of my dad's ashes. And all of those are all connected together along with my house & car keys 👍

31. ) What’s the last music video you watched?

I think it was Feather by Sabrina Carpenter, cuz I saw something online saying people were mad about it being filmed in a church, and I wanted to know why. (After watching it I still don't really get why tho 🤷‍♀️ ). I honestly don't watch music videos very much, I just listen to music on spotify instead.

42.) Do you have any games on your phone? If so, which one(s) is/are your favorite?

I don't right now! I tend to go through phases where I'll play them a bunch, then get bored and delete them. Then rinse and repeat. I do play a lot of the more mindless games sometimes when I just wanna relax and zone out, like match 3 games or merge games. But those are all basically the same game over and over so I wouldn't consider them my favorites. A few that come to mind that I remember really liking are Sneaky Sasquatch (which I think is apple arcade only), Wylde Flowers, and Cozy Grove (I think that was also apple arcade?).

50.) Describe your perfect sleeping conditions

Really cold (like...however cold you're thinking, it's probably colder than that). A little bit of light (I have a lava lamp I usually leave on). A fan going for air circulation. A super soft comfy blanket. And earplugs in so it's more quiet 👍

Thanks :)
