fact of the day:
Sheb Wooley, the guy who wrote and recorded the 50's novelty hit "The Purple People Eater," also did ADR on an obscure Western known as "Distant Drums" and was responsible for uttering the scream that wound up being labled "man being eaten by an alligator."
you probably know it better as "the Wilhelm Scream."
Psychiatric pharmaceuticals I have known and... known.
The TMS is meant to sort out the area of the brain that's full of depression juice. My best guess, therefore, is that it's working "too well", meaning my current duloxetine regimen is now more than I actually need.
So it's good news, if annoying.
Psychiatric pharmaceuticals I have known and... known.
When I started on duloxetine, the first few days saw me getting ultra-strong urges to nap through midday, even while on dextroamphetamine. (Cymbalta overpowered Adderall. Sounds like a Pokémon fight, yeah?) This faded to merely occasionally feeling like I wanted to nap the day away.
Now that I'm well into TMS, that side effect is coming back with a vengeance. Today, I'm trying to fight it off long enough to make some business-hours calls.
PSA about prescription drug manufacturers
If a drug you're prescribed changes in appearance, it's usually because the pharmacy switched to a different manufacturer.
If you're feeling off and your meds changed appearance, it could be the meds! Check online reviews of that manufacturer and drug to see if anyone else is reporting similar symptoms. Arm yourself with knowledge!
You can look up the pill by shape, appearance & markings at this website to find the manufacturer.

Dumb Persona Joke
Thinking of the short story-snippet I wrote recently, where Lai builds himself a new body and tests it out.
The body is a cyborg: a lot of internal machinery but with flesh and fur on top, with a bit of gene-splicing to have better conductivity. Ultimately, Lai went with organic outerware because he wanted to enhance the skin sensitivity, and organic nerves are still more efficient at that than synthetic.
Besides, he didn't have any need to reinvent the feel.
sex and drugs and beton brut
last boost: dope, i'm now a trans antifascist brutalist apartment block. may all who dwell within me be gay and left as fuck, may laughter and pot smoke drift from my balconies, may my roof be a garden, may orgies and plans for insurrection and simple moments of quiet joy unfold within my walls. may i be not a JG Ballard novel but an optimistic queer punk zine.
Why do we always come here,
I guess we'll never know,
It's like some kinda torture
to have to watch this show.

The moon is hollow. (Okay, it has a HUGE cavern.)
Time to go there to wipe out the moon nazis who have set up a base there. (I can't actually confirm that there are moon nazis, but if the conspiracy theorists were right about the moon being hollow, who's to say they're not also right about the secret nazi base?)

@kelseyhusky @Kyna They call it Vitamin DD on the street. Bunch of bros got dosed at a kegger, woke up the next day part of a witchy communal-living polycule making cute tights for catgrrls.
