BCBS says that through self-guided CBT, I can solve Depression, Stress, Anxiety, & Worry, Insomnia, and Trauma, among other things, without costing them any money (over, of course, the costs of the grift they've alrady incurred by "partnering" with "learntolive"). Not that I play to test the theory, but it is hard to imagine how I could do myself greater harm than the actual person-shaped cognitive-behavioral therapist who managed to make my life long insomnia immeasurably worse.

I am excited about the ABS system in the majors this season. I think it'll be good for the game. But also, I am delighted by the prospect by an entire group of male athletes technically being able to challenge, but de facto forbidden to challenge because they are "too emotional." Enjoy them apples, fellas.

My opposition to capital punishment is definitely challenged by the fact that Canvas will not clear the notification that I have unread inbox messages, when I fucking do not have any unread inbox messages.

Reading about the current Cuba fever dream, my inner NYT Pitchbot spooled up and was working on an Op/Ed headline along the lines of "Does the US have an ethical obligation to the global community to stem the overwhelming tide of evidence that its President is a child rapist?" And then I realized that this Op/Ed has probably run in thirty different forms over the last three months.

Trying to navigate health in the context of medications over the next decade has yielded nothing but talking myself into side effects and really wanting to Grandpa Simpson rant about the fact that, yes, stupidity has never been in short supply on the interwebs, but JFC, it used to be possible to find pockets of smart, informed people. Now it's the fucking wild west of Woo and conspiracy theories. #Health #USHealthcareCosts #ushealthcaresucks #UShealthcare #Enshittification

Forgot, until really recently, that we had tickets for Maria Bamford. Forgot until we sat down that Jackie Kashian is reliably her opener. Great sets from both, but also didn't know that Maria and Scott were divorcing, and now I'm parasocially bummed. #Chicago #Comedy

Pain everywhere, including my teeth, which have decided to hurt recreationally for that added stress-level boost. Skin erupting into flames at regular intervals. No hope of even resting in bed (sleep is a fantasy), so I guess I'll read some more about the horrors.

Stress, worry, depression, medication side effects leave me without appetite for food with actual nutrition. My appetite for fudge is unaffected.

Can confirm that even in 1974, when I tried to break out because daycare staff made me go to my cot, missing storytime, because I refused to eat meatloaf, daycares locked their front door.
