I'm (regrettably) in the USA. Today I had a farewell lunch/dinner with my queer dear friend across the street before I move out of the area. My close friend is non-binary, and their wife is a trans woman.
My close friend said that they have had to hole up in their home the last few months. For my friend, they might be able to pass for one gender or another. But for their wife, she wouldn't. They are very afraid for what could happen to them if they appear in public.
This is the same couple that proudly had a pride flag adorning their home just last year.
These are very real-life struggles queer families are facing in conservative towns/cities. I'm lucky I'm moving to a city that is purple or purple-adjacent, where I don't have to fear the neighbors quite so much.

@nprofile…g2yn Was TR one also? On the Tandy Color Computer, there was TRON and TROFF for trace on/trace off. Maybe the "TR" prefix could be a keyword.

@nprofile…adzx Best of luck to you in selling your home! I hope the market is good in placing a fair market value, and you find the right potential buyers.

Three good things:
-> I am so delighted by the love emanating from my sweet Belle girl kitty. Since my ex moved out, she no longer flinches when I touch her. And she is very vocal, and is doing that amazing thing of customizing her perfect sounds in interacting just with me. Really warms my heart!
-> On Monday, we officially close on selling the house, and on Tuesday, Belle and I move into our new apartment! It was cool to see at the MOD Pizza near my new home that, right by the register, there was a MOD Pizza logo with the background of a pride flag. Made me feel safe and welcomed in what could be a more conservative area.
-> Overall, making great strides forward on the many aspects of my health with many different providers. I am still amazed at finding my two physical therapy (PT) team; I've been trying for years and nearly gave up on PT.

@nprofile…0frq This is equally lovely and brooding. Bravo on a great photo!

From a recent visit to an ENT (ear, nose, throat) physician, it appears I have a painful condition known as trigeminal neuralgia aka tic douloureux. It is resulting in it being very painful to eat, drink, swallow, brush teeth, smile, sleep, and even breathe sometimes, and has been intense for a few weeks now.
And a first-line treatment (the drug Trileptal, -- oxcarbazepine) that I am taking for a mental health condition could instead be doing the opposite reaction and exacerbating the condition.
Does anyone have any stories you can share about the condition and possibly treatment that worked for you or someone you know? It seems to be less discussed in the non-clinical setting.

@nprofile…y3mz Congratulations! Hope you find it soothing, and maybe a bridge to further open stimming!

@nprofile…3cq5 Great combination of colors and textures; I hadn't thought of including pumpkins seeds with bananas and apricots.
Oh, and you could easily be a professional food photographer (apologies if you already are!).

@nprofile…x759 Not sure if it meets your criteria, but Jac has been recently sharing some yummy BBQ recipes for us vegan folks.

It was recently brought to my attention thanks to the YouTube algo that female cats have being maternal wired into their being. Also, with basically everything changing in my household very quickly, my kitty will want some stability.
So, enter the plushie for Belle!

I have hearing aids in my near-term future to help with my APD (auditory processing disorder). My audiologist highly recommends the Oticon Intent 1's. Anyone have experience with these that you can share?
I'm going to be spending a lot of money to get them, so I want to make sure there are no glaring issues with them.
Thanks!

@nprofile…gu7x Los Angeles, right?
It was definitely like that when I lived there in the early 90s. When I returned about 10 years later, it was extremely noticeable at the change for the better.

@nprofile…kgju I don't yet bake, but I thought I've heard that applesauce can be a good substitute for egg.

@nprofile…uxf3 Thank you so much for your kind words and validation.
I'm a little surprised Finland wouldn't jump onto the remote work train to allow more work opportunities offered outside of your geographical area.

@nprofile…uxf3 That's great that you have an accommodating helper worker! Kudos on your resilience.
Sounds like the administration in your country hasn't evolved to the new market and job possibilities remotely.
I wish I could work, I really do, but I need to be on disability/early retirement; I just can't keep a job for any length of time due to my health issues. I've hurt too many companies and people way too long in my zeal to be an employed person.

@nprofile…uxf3 The "looking for work nearly all the time" requirement for some unemployment agencies can be very difficult, especially in your circumstances.

I had posted a few days ago that I got my diagnosis for ME/CFS.
Since then, I've had a conversation with the neurologist. In her notes, she only referred to ME/CFS, not also fibromyalgia. So I asked if she adjusted her diagnosis. Her response was that I have ME/CFS but more fibromyalgia, and that it is a spectrum disorder.
That's the first time I heard that fibromyalgia is now considered part of an overarching ME/CFS spectrum. I hadn't seen research that redefined fibromyalgia, just speculation that it was possible.
Does anyone have more info on this, please? I really want to trust my state's resident ME/CFS expert.
