Add me to the list of people who think a space theme would be neat! Plus, it’s a nice tribute to Apollo. A name from this list would work nicely.

I do this and didn’t realize other people did too. I think it helps me from getting too overstimulated, especially in very crowded places.

I am experiencing the issue with subscriptions not showing up correctly on Beehaw as well, if that helps you troubleshoot anything. Thanks so much for your hard work!

Too many morons use the downvote button as a “Dislike/Disagree” button. It’s why I like that downvotes are disabled here. If you disagree with someone, you’re encouraged to actually have a discussion instead of lazily pressing the downvote arrow and leaving.

Welp, this kills Twitter for me permanently. I closed my account after Mush took it over but sometimes I’d check out tweets and replies my Discord friends would share. Big tech just keeps shooting itself in the foot lately.

"We had one legislator that said — oh goodness — he said, 'Why can't women just plan their pregnancies around summer break?'"

The ignorance of these politicians is just astounding.

Brain dead take by a more than likely brain dead conservative politician.

I’m having this issue as well. Remember to report it through Test Flight if you haven’t already!

Thank you so much for fixing the communities list; I can see all my subscriptions now. One question though, I can’t seem to find how to edit my own posts and comments. Am I missing something or is that feature coming soon?

 

Fixed in latest beta.

~~I’ve noticed that a few communities on other instances I know I’m subscribed to don’t show up in my list. Is this an issue with federation or the app itself? I’m also reporting this in TestFlight just in case it doesn’t get seen here.~~

This app is coming along very nicely and really reminds me of Apollo. Excellent job! -Posted from Mlem

Thanks to the DEA’s massive overreach, for the third time in 5 or so months I’ve had to call a pharmacy outside my area to get my Concerta. My regular pharmacy gave me what they had, which I’m grateful for, but that left me short 7 pills. I then had to:

-Find a pharmacy that had the medicine I needed in the proper dose

-Call my doctor to have him send a new prescription over to that pharmacy since you’re not allowed to just show them your current one

-Drive about 15-20 minutes to get there

-Wait in line, give them my driver’s license (which I don’t have to do at my normal pharmacy) and sign a bunch of shit before finally leaving with it.

I’m just tired of this song and dance. Concerta works best for me though and isn’t too expensive with a coupon. I just want the DEA to stop micromanaging ADHD meds. I understand some oversight is needed but they go way overboard. Feel free to vent your frustration here as well.

 

This will be long, but it’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time.

Has anyone else noticed that there are less avenues of support and resources for adults than there is for kids? For the purposes of this post I’m talking about mainly government sources. I’m aware there are some NGOs that offer help for adults. It seems like government agencies only have a lot of their neurodivergent resources and support for families, particularly children. While this is completely understandable, these children will eventually become adults, and it will be a rude awakening.

There’s still so many misconceptions about neurodivergent people that particularly hurt when a person becomes an adult, and it starts from childhood. Some of the things I’ve heard:“oh they’re kids, they’ll grow out of it” and too many neurotypicals thinking that we’re all invalids that can’t take care of ourselves and need to be institutionalized. Things would definitely improve (job wise and mental health wise) if more groups would stop thinking of these conditions as just something kids go through and expand their support systems to adults as well as children.

 

The link I shared has a lot of good information about this condition; it’s similar to dyslexia but for math. In school math was always my worst subject and it often took me multiple tries to pass my math classes. It baffled everyone around me because I was good at all my other subjects. I hadn’t heard of it until last year but it definitely explains why I’m so bad with numbers. I’m now wondering if anyone here on lemmy has it too.
