This is part of the same process where I take time to COLOR code and BOLD emails to people.

Folks seem SO overwhelmed with information I swear I spend 50% of my time, just making it clear.

A lot of this also helps me with my neurodiversity because I SEE information this way.
My brain races to TIMES, DAYS, ACTIONS.

It breaks down sentences into "INFO", "FILLER", "ACTION".

It's so hard for me to just read through emails that are all over the place without a clear CALL TO ACTION.

So when I create documents/emails they are Organized like my mind.
My entire 2018 book was in a guide before I wrote a single word.

My mind sees entire projects at once.

It's really hard and it makes it difficult for me to stay in sync with groups of people.
Sometimes I'll just prepare a timeline so people understand what is being done by who, when and why.
These timelines can also be used for family / emotional things.

Once I was having problems with in in-laws so I created a chart of how I saw our relationship.
Another time I had to see two doctors and finally create a chart for a third to understand and take my sickness seriously while in Europe.
When my husband was up for a promotion, I built him a chart to show HIM, HIS Career.
I had a friend that was super anxious about starting with a new therapist.

So in about 15 minutes I dropped the last 30 years of his life into a chart for his new doctor.
I just see things in this interconnected way over time.

It makes having relationships hard because I see the gaps before I see what is actually there.

I'm really trying in 2023 to accept my #neurodiversity and share my experiences.

I'm fortunate to be where I am now.

A lot of people talk about the health care collapse but I don't see a lot of messages about veterinary medicine.

Here's my nightmare journey last night: Emergency vet 3.5 hrs away, poison control fees, DIY care with ChatGPT advice. #vettwitter
Arrived home at 10pm to chaos:

100 joint pills missing, puppy's vomit all around.
Urgent search for help begins.

Every vet in the Capital region is full, won't consider seeing us until we call animal poison control. Image
The @ASPCA has a line for animal poisoning. It costs 95.00 to tell your emergency to a stranger, who gives you a number for a vet to access to get their advice.

A real racket if you ask me, I won't be sending any more money to them yearly. Image

How are you so prepared for COVID?

I buried my lover in 1993 due to HIV AIDS after spending six years helping out with activism, drugs and policy.

So I knew to do a few things in January 2020 to now. 🧡1/6
1. Started wearing masks, because protection from infection is rule one.

2. Started stocking up on food, and medical supplies, because it wouldn't be there (and it wasn't during the early stages)

3. Started informing my friends and family to be safe. 2/6
4. Built a system to keep my neighborhood supported with volunteers, skills and supplies.

5. Started researching alternative meds, supplements.

6. Got vaccinated day 1 I was allowed. 3/6

Out of all the technological hacks I've used to better the quality of my life, the single most painful yet effective way to increase wellbeing, throw people out of your life who do not align with your values.

Don't wait; the soon, the better.
I'm not talking about disagreements; I'm talking about fundamentally how we treat each other when we are communicating & solving problems.

This means freedom to express all your feelings, not just some. Especially the ones you're afraid of sharing because of shame or confusion.
Yet, while my skill for expressing myself in person, online and onstage has increased exponentially over the past decade, my ability to not be isolated by these skills has continued to dwindle.

The irony of maturation.

I know "google" is building a site, but until then I used @Nextdoor and @airtable to mobilize my neighborhood of 800 people.

Find out who had what skills, resources and talent WE have.

Beds, equipment, meds.

Don't wait for help people. #COVIDー19 #digitalhealth #stayhome
