he's making it sound like something bad, but he's referring to the content moderation service that bluesky outsources to! their system goes thru photos and scores for things like CSA, torture, rape, & other prohibted content.

rah's got a great thread here: bsky.app/profile/raha...

This is going around again and it is not true. Like every site on the internet, Bluesky uses machine learning to do a first-pass approximation of image classification to detect and label content. They have repeatedly confirmed outside services do not use Bluesky user data to train their models.

meds wishes!

i have less than a week of lysine left & i am completely out of the calcium bhb; it's part of the electrolyte mix that helps my pots dramatically and means i don't have to add salt heavily to all food due to salt loss from chronic anaphylaxis YAY

if it's from tightness/spasms, magnesium spray works well for me sometimes. (and not at all other times bc why are bodies?)

upside: my cognition IS noticeably better! (i've been on daily benadryl since 1998)

downside: pain since doing that is significantly worse; it was already at the point where the homemade medical mj tincture i take daily prn is used for treating end-stage cancer pain and i am struggling to deal

this this this wrt the studies about benadryl

it's me. i'm people.

rahaeli @rahaeli.bsky.social · 6d

A whole lot of people with MCAS are really, really fucking tired of hearing about those studies, because the latency of possibly developing dementia is measured in decades while the latency of dying of anaphylaxis is measured in minutes

THANK YOU.

so very seriously.

people keep telling me it's dangerous and NOT GETTING the reasons i cannot just stop it. there is nothing else i have that will stop severe reactions!

(i HAVE managed to go to 25 mgs/night, down from 50. unless i'm have an mcas reactioin. BUT)

alll the solidarity!

the biggest rule when i was growing up was don't mess with my grandma's schedule and never spring things on her unexpectedly, because she'd have "a little break down"

she found so many social rules utterly baffling. she'd explain to me as "it doesn't make sense, but [thing]"

Ineffably Chris @catastrfy.bsky.social · 5d

ooh, thank you so much! i'll dm you!

Ineffably Chris @catastrfy.bsky.social · 5d

Ineffably Chris @catastrfy.bsky.social · 5d

YES. famotidine is nowhere near as good. if rznitodine is an 8 to 9 fir gut reactions, famotodine is 4-5.

oh, also there is an otc supplement, quercetin, that is a mast cell stabiliser. not specifically for the gut, but generally thru the body 3/3 🫂🫂🫂🫂

are pressure points on the outer part of each elbow crease that can trigger gut motility. put one hand on the ipposite shoulder, fit the fingers of the other hand slong yhe crease of the elbow w the pinky right at the rlbow bone. massage for a minute or so, gently but firmly, then switch sides. 2/

i don’t have it, but it seems to often coexist with things like dysautonmia, pots, eds, and mcas.

in the long term, if you get nausea it might be worth talking to your hcp about trialing famotidine or another antihistamine that helps with gut mediated mast cell issues

in the short term there 1/
