Truly even the specialists are winging it!! 🤷‍♀️

If you have the attention/energy for it, I have enjoyed exploring the talks and resources at migraineworldsummit.com – basically a buncha experts with lots of different angles and topics, aimed at non-specialists.

bodies: WHY!!!!!

(Which is part of why it's important to take medication early in a migraine instead of Toughing It Out – to help prevent said grooves from forming.)
November 24, 2025 at 2:22 PM
My neurologist explained it as migraineur brains developing, like, behavioral grooves – the brain gets so used to being in that state, an incredibly small trigger (that for other people, or a year earlier, would be benign) is too much: blammo!

(not meant as an anger complaint! except about my brain I guess, I will complain about that all the live long day)

a fun fact, looking at images of this kind of shit can trigger it in people whose brains are prone

ask me how I know, says the person who once walked by an art gallery full of paintings made by a lady about her migraines

One of my most favorite cozy reads (Hands of the Emperor, Victoria Goddard) does this masterfully – there's an entire giant catastrophe that pre-dates the events of the book and it's often referenced but never explained or detailed and she uses it SO WELL

in archery class last week I got SO MAD that when I slowed down and took calm breaths and grounded my feet and engaged my core,,, I hit the target right in the center

RUDE

I would love to see the range of responses this gets, it's like that time Elmo asked how everyone was doing

Also it's not even good??? I was like "well, I *am* trying to throw together a basic project tracker, that seems AI-able" but,,, no

Sure, but if I was city-livin' there's a good chance I'd need to wrestle it up stairs or into a weird back shed where removing weight would make it easier!
September 19, 2025 at 8:47 PM
OH ALSO, the batteries are heavy and removing them makes wrangling the bike into rack/car/etc MUCH easier. So we end up removing them almost every time we ride. (We're very rural, often driving the bikes to trails elsewhere.)
September 19, 2025 at 5:09 PM
We have two bikes and it's much easier to bring both batteries in, and charge them one-after-another, than to wrangle two chargers or swap the bikes' parking spot halfway through. (And it's so fussy to take out the battery, I also need the key to put it back in?? WHY)

we refer to this baptism as "mystery city water" and we have to ALWAYS assume it is innocuous AC water

the alternative is not worth contemplating

Maybe??? You should def go to one of Paola's meetups in JP, or Peter's in Cambridge in the meantime!!! www.meetup.com/circlesingin...

yeahhhhh I mean this is Jared Golden("all of Maine except the populated parts")'s exact strategy and it's worked GREAT for him

ALSO, and this tells you more about my psychology than I'd like to admit... I'd rather hang out in a place where I get to be righteous instead of having to be humble
July 14, 2025 at 8:38 PM
The target side sucks ofc, but at least I get to keep my discernment and clear thinking, and can so obviously see the hurts/pains/costs to the non-targets.
July 14, 2025 at 5:28 PM
I don't know if this is a rhetorical question, because no one has answered it! But I think there are ways that being on the non-target side of oppression really disconnects you from your own humanity, AND everyone frames it as "privilege" which makes it hard to recognize what you've lost.
