People with histories of drug addiction/substance use disorder should not be denied pain management.

I used to get an arguments on facebook and it bit me in the ass enormously because it turns out that when you get an arguments on facebook habitually, you'll be interacting with a lot of other people who get an arguments on facebook habitually, and most of these people are deeply unpleasant and they will be super mean to you in really fucked up ways. so for a couple of years I just sort of dropped off ever interacting with anyone who said things that I did not agree with. I would just scroll past stuff or I would get upset about it privately and move on. I did not ever engage. and the last couple of weeks I've started being able to say things in response to things I don't agree with in ways that I feel lay out what my perspective is but do not get overly invested in "winning" or "proving" anything -- I will say my piece generally for the benefit of other people who might be reading the conversation and need to hear what I have to say. and then I will turn notifications off and go do something else.

anyway. wow. y'all heard about this? pretty cool shit.

I made my post about Dean Highbottom and then as I was writing my tags realised that his Hunger Games counterpart is Haymitch. and now my head is in my hands and I don’t think I’ll ever recover

[supercantaloupe]

two tries on two separate days and i STILL can't get ahold of the new endocrinologist's new patient scheduling assistant argh. hopefully they actually call me back this time. on the bright side i did manage to get through to billing (despite their horrible phone tree and even more horrible connection, it sounded like they were speaking through a frayed wire) and get them to update my insurance information and actually bill my insurance for my recent telehealth visit bc there was no way in hell i was gonna pay their upfront unadjusted cost for a thirty minute zoom call with my pcp without them at least TRYING to ping my insurance first

Sometimes I feel like a centuries old robot in a scifi movie

The one that has to turn itself on every morning over the course of an hour, slowly waiting for access to each limb, waiting for the energy to just move

When it finally forces itself up it has to go through the routine of preparing for the day. Making sure it looks a little better, hiding all its rust spots best it can

By then it's battery is already back down to 75%

On a good day

On a bad day that might just take it out again, and it needs to restart the whole process

When it goes out, it tries to hide it. Pretends to be the latest model, maybe it's an alternate model from some niche production line, that's why it walks a little funny, talks a little different, processes things weird sometimes.

Maybe the robot itself can't feel pain, but everything it knows about it, everything it's learned, the robot knows that the pain it would feel would incapacitate a human. Maybe even other robots

It's good at hiding. It does it's best

But there are days when it's so clear. It's so obvious. That robot is different

Not everyone assumes it's old, the robot looks fairly young so it couldn't be old. Maybe it's broken. Or just lazy. Or faulty. Regardless

There is something wrong with it

It gets pitied looks, it gets yelled at, it gets dismissed.

And then at the end of the day if it's lucky, it has just enough battery left over to do something it enjoys for a few minutes

Then finally, with whatever small amount it has left, it plugs itself back in to recharge for the night. Each night it desperately hopes the next day will be easier, that maybe its waking up process will be easier, maybe its battery will last longer. Maybe it'll get some extra energy while it's out and be able to do more

It's all just fantasies of course. The longer it exists the harder things get for it. The longer it tries the more it wants to give up

The world doesn't have a use for an old broken robot body

But it's the only one he's got, so he has to make it work.

i always say im able-bodied bc i feel like it best describes my General Lived Experience but i do have that like. thing in my legs where if i walk briskly for some distance (like 500 meters) i get this crushing pain in my whole lower legs which gets worse and worse if i keep walking until i eventually have to sit down for a few minutes and wait for it to go away. which im still trying to get diagnosed bc so far artery scans and muscle ultrasounds render nothing. and ngl it is like, an issue often enough and is a pretty bothersome thing when it happens (like not only bc its extremely painful but also having to find some place to sit down in the middle of the street and having to stay there a while isnt awesome) so im not entirely sure "able-bodied" fully describes me but i also am not sure its a disability bc we dont know wtf it is. so i guess im kind of in a weird inbetween where i err on the side of just assuming its not a disability and its just like, an annoying body thing..

Praiser, advocate, understudy and pain manager

DID/OSDD ALTER TERMS Praiser

An alter that tends to fit in the caretaker archetype, they will prioritise praising alters and rewarding them when they’ve done good, usually they form due to a lack of praise/support growing up

Coined by: The unconscious

Advocate

type of protector but more intense. Will front and/or take charge of any and all situations where the systems needs are being overlooked or used against the system. Will often use words to stand up for the system and keep off others who may be attempting to bring harm to the system

Coined by: BiblioHalls

Understudy

An understudy is an alter that will take over fronting duties whenever others won’t or are unable to front. They are attached to the front and will often be close to the front at all times. Like a host, they find it very easy to switch into main front and unlike other alters, they enjoy and often prefer to be in front

Coined by: BiblioHalls

Pain manager

Please do not use this term if you are not Traumagenic, as the coiner has asked endogenic, tulpa and demo systems not to use it 

Coined by: BiblioHalls DNI NON-TRAUMAGENIC (NO ENDOS/DEMOS/TULPAS)

One of the issues I have designing encounters in 5e is that monster damage increases way faster than monster health, leading to an issue where if I go by CR I'm throwing a monster at the party that can possibly take down a player character in a single turn but that will ultimately be dispatched in two, maybe three rounds, before I even get to do anything super cool with it (also this one is on me, but wow do all monsters need at least one ranged option because if you don't have one it's pretty easy to get stuck in a place where you can't do anything). This becomes an even bigger problem when because of items or strategic thinking or just the general shittiness of the CR system your party is pretty good at punching above their weight CR-wise. Then things get really dangerous, because like I said damage escalates waaay faster and it's very easy to pull something that'll take multiple characters down in one turn. That gives me a really narrow line to walk if I want to set up an encounter that's challenging, risky, and fun, but also not something where I get one good round in and send them all to the shadow realm. I'm not necessarily opposed to killing player characters, I just don't want it to be a tpk because I (in my relative newness to dming) accidentally gave them way more than they could ever handle. It's one thing to kill a party with competence, it's another to kill them via incompetence. I think I just need to start home brewing every monster I use (mostly tuning up health and down damage) but I kinda wish I didn't need to do that? It would be great if monsters worked straight out of the box, as it were

My dentist confirmed what I already suspected, that my right TMJ is bone on bone.

But my teeth are very strong and healthy, so that's...something, at least.
