Let's never stop talking about how even on good days, chronic illness takes up a ton of cognitive space with the fear that some benign choice will make everything much much worse.
(and learning to manage that fear takes up a ton of cognitive space too.)
((hello! if you're just meeting me, I collect chronic illness stories in long and sometimes meandering detail on my podcast, No End In Sight.))

Is there somebody in your life with weird health problems that you don't really understand?

Let me tell you a little more about the process of becoming chronically ill:

1/
Stage 1: Alarm

When you first realize that your symptoms aren't going away on their own. It may happen dramatically (with an ER visit) or gradually (nagging discomfort).

Many people will get into wellness protocols at this point: diets, supplements, exercise, more sleep.

2/
Stage 2: Symptom Validation

This is when you start pushing your PCP to investigate (which can be difficult). Many people will be given a mental health dx or referred to therapy at this point, at the expense of further investigation.

You wonder if it's all in your head

got distracted by a hopekook au featuring hobi as a dragon shapeshifter and kook as the newest dragon slayer slash knight sent to the mountain he’s occupied
he’s never actually seen a dragon before, but he’s heard all the stories of the dragons in the west, destroying kingdom after kingdom, leaving only death and ruin in their wake
kook is the bastard son of the king whose kingdom has dragon!hoseok flying sort of... menacingly... through the air and maybe sometimes stealing a goat or a sheep or two? he’s never actually... killed a human... as far as jk’s aware... aside from the previous dragon slayers

Depends on how magnanimous the Defendants are and how much $$$$$ R.Broly is willing to pay them.

Ty Beard did so bad at the TCPA hearing that I'd be begging for a settlement if I were in his shoes

I removed him from the @fsckemall blocklist after his hysterical whining, so instead he blocked me

Dude's definitely a b*tch

Cry about it

Good evening, #Threadnought. In the wake of yesterday's digital release, and today's A1-above-the-fold print release, of the DMN article about the @vicmignogna lawsuit, I thought tonight would be a good night to revisit a key issue:

@vicmignogna Is the clearly detrimental effect of this suit on Vic's reputation something that competent counsel should have anticipated before filing suit?
@vicmignogna I think this is worth visiting, in particular, both because the pro-Vic people seem to be blaming the defense for the news article and because they seem to be very upset that the defense has included things in court filings that make Nick look bad.

The accusations sending tremors through the Catholic Church are a concerted and dubious attack by ultraconservatives on Pope Francis.

This morning I've finished Scott Kellys (@StationCDRKelly) Book "Endurance" ( bit.ly/endurance-scot… ). Some thoughts below.
First, thank you Scott for sharing your story along with many personal insights from your time in space. It's great to learn more about the long path to become an astronaut and all the immense effort behind the human space program.
While reading Scotts book I got to understand the scale of the challenges coming with living and working in space better. It starts with having no gravity assisting you with daily life, keeping yourself healthy and alert for the hostile environment you are living in.

I think I want to talk today about what it's been like starting a partnership/fund from scratch.
Let's start with background. I've always wanted to do this. Wasn't sure 35 would be right age but here we are.
I've been into investment management since I was 19 in 1999. Ran the undergrad portfolio. Watched it go down 70% in 2000-2001.
