I finished getting up & ready for my day - I’m in clothes I can wear outside, I put anti-itch cream on all my hives I get from taking the medicine that keeps me awake enough to do those things - sent 1 text & I want to get 🍱
I need a nap now
sigh
I also have metabolic dysfunction making fatigue worse.
I produce overdoses of insulin. Insulin naps put me out. There is no willpowering myself awake.
I’ve set up my life to minimize the times postprandial insulin knocks me out so I can, sometimes, do things.

“Don’t feed the trolls” can play out a few ways.
If they’re safe to ignore, do.
When they post plausible sounding bait that’s damaging, 1 good faith reply from 1 person who can address their claim is warranted. If GFR activates troll, burn with 🔥, then block/ignore.
Interpreting “Don’t feed the trolls” as “ignore only” can backfire.
Trolls want attention & chaos. They argue to argue. They post bait, not truth.
Fascists rely on trolls to spread seeds of distrust & disinformation. If these seeds root, it makes identifying truth difficult.

The rate of deaths in US car accidents dropped *significantly* after Obamacare, insufficient though it is, was enacted because the formerly uninsured young adults who hadn’t gone to the ER after car accidents could go to the ER.
Notes: 1) This (see OP) is not a verbatim transcript but a “recollection/interpretation” made by listeners. 2) The white house likely released the least damning version 3) This version is crazy with implied threats and quid pro quo statements
