Studies find insomnia may precede and maintain depression. Super interesting article (I have severe insomnia and cannot sleep while I tweet this)
apa.org/monitor/oct05/…
List of things I have tried to fix my insomnia:
Anti-depressants (mild success, with massive side-effects)
Sleep hygiene (no screens before bed, nothing in bed but sleep)
Cold room
Black-out blinds
Yoga + Meditation before bed
Diet change
Reading/Audiobooks
Exercise
ZMA/Melatonin
If anyone wants to add anything to that list for me to try, I'm all ears, as the doctors I've gone to are absolutely clueless

Today is a day you almost never hear about - Holodomor Remembrance Day, where we remember the 8 million Ukrainians who starved to death as a result of the communist regime.
Any mildly successful farmer was known as a 'kulak' and were killed or expelled to Siberia. If you were even mildly successful in the USSR, well you must have stolen it from someone else.
The new farmers, who were poor and inexperienced, were then given impossible grain quotas which were to then be collectivized and sent to the cities. The farmers weren't paid for it, and weren't allowed keep any grain for themselves.

This is incredible, I highly recommend donating to @MAPS,
they are doing fantastic work.
68% of participants going through assisted MDMA therapy had their PTSD completely cured within 12 months. It's unheard of to even cure PTSD.

1/I don't think it's a good look for an organization like the APA to get this far ahead of the evidence just to make a point many progressives would LIKE to be true, but which is very much up fir debate. There are what appears to be SOME robust m/f diffs.

2/ This document isn't nearly as bad as the disastrous recent AAP guidelines on gender dysphoria, but same general flavor: Evidence for political/values claims getting overstated in what should be a just-the-facts-ma'am consensus document.



Of course
3/ "facts" is tricky! Nothing is apolitical. But when it comes to specific, fairly strong scientific claims, it's often pretty apparent that there either is or isn't sufficient evidence to justify those claims. Not a good sign when shaky claims make it into these publications.

I am so horrified by this. The more I think about it the more sick I get. It is - intentionally or not - evil.
They've been trying to hack us with algorithms. They've been experimenting, without any oversight or knowledge, with human behavior on a scale grander than anyone has ever seen. They've been using propaganda and priming on us all to bring about strange and grotesque outcomes.
Silicon Valley trust fundies didn't just let a genocide happen in Myanmar, then. They just wanted to see what would happen. Because who gives a shit about Myanmar except to go on a meditation retreat, right? newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/11/m…

'Christine Ford, the brave new hero to feminists, expects America to believe she needed a second front door for her Palo Alto home because, more than three decades after Judge Brett Kavanaugh allegedly tried to rape her, she was still feeling “claustrophobic.”
'Although, as she said, the two front doors are not, alas, “aesthetically pleasing,” at least the professor felt as safe as any snowflake college student with her coloring books and Play-Doh.'

I did the most #ADHD thing the other day. I took one pill then got distracted + took another, so ended up wired when one dose makes me like a "normal" person. I'm coming out as ADHD now after building a record of hard work bc there's stigma. Lmk if you have qs about pros and cons
I'm in good company with Michael Phelps and Einstein 🙂. Basically even without meds I'm able to hyperfocus on what I'm interested in accomplishing but if you ask me to do something boring I'll be incredibly inept. healthline.com/health/adhd/be…
Also #ADHD is linked with higher sensitivity to things like bright lights, sounds and textures. I was only diagnosed a few years ago and just thought before that knit turtlenecks were a medieval torture device.

I want to talk about one of the most important women in the history of tabletop RPGs, and about an aspect of RPG history many younger folks won't know about. Stay awhile, and listen. :)

Amateur press associations are one of the interesting kinds of social network founded in 1/
the late 19th century. An apa has a membership list. Each member writes up their submission for the next distribution ("issue", effectively) and sends a copy for each member to the central mailer, who collates them and sends the results out. You get a copy of each thing 2/
submitted. As you'd imagine, this leads to all kinds of funkiness. Some apas have themes, like comics or science fiction; many don't. Some have amazing production values, with work by people who literally have their own printing presses (or, later, sophisticated desktop 3/

For some reason, I’m being attacked about the Parkland shooting today. The conspiracy theorists refuse to give up their wild stories. So, here we go. A thread on Parkland. this is going to take a while and embarrass some people.
First of all, the official version. Nikolas Cruz, about whom authorities has more than ample warning, took an Uber to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School wearing the school colors, a maroon t-shirt with Parkland on it. He was carrying a backpack and a long black bag.
Inside the long black bag was an AR-15 that he purchased legally. He walked into the freshman building, where he encountered a student. As he took his rifle out of the bag, he looked at the student and said, You’d better run.” Then, he inserted a magazine and began his rampage.
