Two weeks ago, I posted about the beginning of my ADHD treatment journey, and I talked about my first day on Atomoxetine, a sNRI medication for ADHD that is also sold under the name Strattera. Unfortunately, after some initially hopeful results, the rest of my titration has been fairly unremarkable.… Continue reading
I’m thirty-eight years old. Over the past several years, I have been noticing problems with my mental state that could be described as ADHD. I’ve had trouble with alertness, attention, focus, motivation, executive function, energy levels, mood, and cognition that I didn’t have before at this level; and those things… Continue reading

Shortly thereafter, I tweeted for the final time on Twitter. I had originally intended to test out several options for replacing the newly-Elon-Musk-purchased social network; but… Continue reading

Last time, we talked about the options for replacing Twitter if you want to “flip the bird.” I’ve made the choice to switch to Mastodon, at least to start; and I’ve really been enjoying it. If you’d like to make the jump, even if only to try it out, I’m… Continue reading
Replacing Twitter has become a bit of a topic over the past few weeks, for some fairly obvious reasons (well, one particularly notable one). In the last couple of days, with the continuing chaos surrounding it, this discussion has reached a fever pitch. Imminent potential downfall aside, I’ve talked previously… Continue reading
I’ve been trying to figure out what it is I find concerning about Elon Musk, but I think it’s this: he plays life like a game. The people I know in real life who play it like that are insufferable, but Musk has the money to force other people to… Continue reading
Hey! Let’s make some RPG player characters with AI! Let’s start with the face. Stable Diffusion (which you can use for free here) makes some excellent faces. In the game I’m playing right now, my character just ran across a teenage girl who turned out to be more powerful than… Continue reading
