So after RFK endorsed Trump and told his supporters to vote for Trump, I laughed and jested: “What are they gonna do now if they want to fix the game, say that Stein pulled votes from Trump?” 🤣🤣🤣 omg sometimes it’s a curse to be this aware of macro-patterns 💀 https://image.nostr.build/bb05a12eceb3fd5ee959b476dfb0117da8516514dec254105c38c06b8c65f815.jpg https://image.nostr.build/7e5679a35dbb5691583590bdce699ccced647f93a0ed13f06205ed7831faa517.jpg

Part of me thinks they’re downplaying all the footage because it’s so unusual even for the current state of the climate. Like did you see the amount of sand on the streets and in peoples homes in St Pete?? And then up around Newport TN they had river stones stacked up 2-3 ft high on top of their fields - as if it had been dumped there by dump trucks and leveled out. Like not only did the storm move water, it moved sand and stone in a weird way.

If you’re not seeing a lot about #HurricaneHelene aftermath, I get the feeling that’s on purpose… look how it refuses to autofill on #tiktok for the video I just made - which is me showing zero front page stories about the disaster in NC or the relief efforts on Fox, CNN or MSNBC… anyway, keep Appalachia in your thoughts, especially western NC where there are 180+ fatalities and many hundreds more missing. Roads are washed out, supplies are being brought in by helicopters and hobby drones and mules. Many hundreds of thousands of people are still without power 6 days later. https://image.nostr.build/19ef23bdcad2ec3e38b0b0c384560d12001d53cfa8c59154b36ba02a27637e83.jpg

This chart also reminds me that low acetylcholine (which is made from dietary choline most prevalent in eggs) is responsible for autistic “stimming” bc we need acetylcholine in the ACC to control muscle movements a smoothness of motion. This is also related to methylation in the body. Thanks 🤙

2024-08-26 15:29:56

- reply

Right and that’s because most of it has been cultivated for high-THC! My husband gets wildly paranoid on high-thc cannabis but he is super relaxed on high-CBD hemp products. He is also more “autistic/rigid” than I am.

2024-08-26 15:08:35

This is ALSO the link between CBD having therapeutic effects on people with Parkinson’s, which causes a reduced ability to convert L-dopa!!! Yeah, I’m nerding out about neurology 😅 #note1ehk…nat6

2024-08-26 14:55:30

- reply

And just by the way, autism is a condition characterized by dysregulation (usually over-activity) in the ACC - anterior cingulate cortex. This is the area of the brain that changes sensory information into emotional information (thus the sensory meltdown exists). It also is used in error detection and rule-setting. To support this part of the brain we need to be getting methylated B vitamins, vitamin C and dietary copper. This study shows that THC lowers methylation, which increases available L-dopa (antsy-ness) but stops it from being converted into dopamine (motivation) or broken down into norepinephrine (chill), while CBD increases methylation and therefore assists with the neurological balance. Freaking fascinating!!

2024-08-26 14:45:45

GM 🌞 did you know there is new research coming out that might explain why certain people experience “reefer madness” while other people do not? Could be based on how autistic they are!
The most interesting thing about this study is that they’ve shown there’s a THC:CBD ratio threshold that can prevent cannabis-related psychosis, with high-CBD cultivars even acting as an anti-psychotic!
These findings are so important to help health professionals understand and guide medicinal and recreational consumers and not just label all cannabis as mental-health-antagonizing. 👏

GM 🌞 Sunday synchronicity story time: I have a friend in town who is a widow in her 70s named Flossie. About once a month I go help her in her garden. Two weeks ago when I was there, she gave me a birds nest and said: “I saved this for you. You never know when you might need a birds nest.” And I thanked her and brought it home and put it on my shelf of curiosities.
Didn’t think another thing about it until today when my husband yelled out in despair because he accidentally destroyed a hidden birds nest in one of our patio tables with the leaf blower - and terrified the poor baby bird inside.
I was like: wait, I have just the thing. Went inside and grabbed that birds nest and got the little dude back in his table. The parent birds cussed us out I think, but they are flying in and out of there now like they’re cool. 🤣 anyway, what are the odds? #synchronicity
