re: Personal mental health good news. 

For those who're coming into the saga late or could just use a refresher:

rTMS stands for "repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation", a modern treatment for severe chronic depression (and other things!) that uses series of carefully-directed strong magnetic pulses to... uh... shake loose depression crystals? The important part is that it's the only treatment that's ever actually worked for me for more than a few weeks.

I had a wildly successful run of treatment a little over a year ago, then my insurance provider at the time – Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield – decided I'd had enough wellness and stopped paying, so I had to stop treatment. As expected, I ended up right back where I started... semi-functional, and too irregularly to accomplish pretty much anything with my life.

So yeah, I'm looking forward to getting back on these treatments.

Personal mental health good news. 

Finally, something goes right!

By that, I mean that Kaiser Permanente will cover my TMS treatments, meaning I get to be something closer to healthy!

Perhaps I should be grateful, but right now I'm just relieved... and trying hard not to make guesses about when they'll yank this away from me like Anthem did last year.

For now, they did something right, and I get to imagine a future again.

THIS IS SO GOOD and i wish id looked for it BEFORE turning my family off of SU with the first few plodding episodes

some player characters - but trying to think portraiture through a little more, too!

The vast majority of computation on the planet is fuzzing the human brain for exploits to turn us all into addicted obsessive categorized click machines so we can be sold to the market for the benefit of 10 people.

Don’t fuckin tell me exploiting computers is bad.

Violets are red
Roses are blue
That knob you just twisted?
Not "brightness", but "hue".

Roses are burnt
Violets are damned
This exorcism’s
Not going as planned
