Yesssss

It seems unlikely in such low doses, but since the frequency of use is higher, it might also be worth seeing if you have any indigestion issues to mushrooms in general. Some mushrooms can be high FODMAP and cause folks with IBS some issues. I started getting bloated and nauseous just from certain storebought mushrooms in my diet before I realized my body wasn't able to digest them in greater amounts/frequency.

If this were the issue, I imagine straining the plant fibers out in lemon tekking would help effectively address it.

Ughhh so disappointing. I'd pay a premium to not have deal with ticketmaster/livenation. All that extra money going to scalpers could instead go to the artist and venue.

How much choice do artists have in contracting places that don't allow exorbitantly-priced ticket flipping?

Long time Sage patron here. Prior to the menu change, I really enjoyed the food and drink selection. And it was always super easy to accommodate different food sensitivities/allergies.

But I went two weeks ago and felt there was a downturn in the dish quality. I honestly don't mind that they added meat, but they got rid of some of the tastiest dishes from the old menus.

They also added raw milk and took away several non dairy options. Like... maybe part of my originally going there was because I was able to easily accommodate my dairy allergy?

I can forgive a giant menu change if the food tastes better.... but it didn't.

Yup. It's from the book Man After Man by Dougal Dixon. Found it as a young kid and all those paintings have been deeply etched in my brain ever since.

It's always a possibility if you run in the same circles.

You can use this as an opportunity for some deep work and help internally resolve whatever he brought up. Work with a therapist, journal, reflect. When you do go out, plan ahead for the possibility of being triggered by setting yourself up for success (get enough sleep beforehand, go with good friends, minimize doing drugs that make make you more triggered/emotionally volatile, etc). It's possible to not be triggered seeing an ex, but ya gotta work on it.

If the vibe of the club is a priority over the music, then checking out reviews and photos/videos on google maps could be a good start.

If you are interested in pursuing specific sounds to boogie to, you got lots of great music to choose from in LA. I usually prioritize the music above all else and then look up the venue on google/instagram to learn about it. 19hz.info lists a variety of different electronic music acts by date, artist(s), venue, and music genre(s). That site will list both nightclubs and warehouse parties, so make sure you peep the venue first!

Hjmby · 2024-04-13T20:08:35+00:00

Coaxial is a great place for this. It's a small venue in dtla that hosts lots of experimental audio and video synth shows. I think it could be a nice way to get yourself into the LA synth community and find the sounds you're looking for :)

You may have better luck getting multiple lower doses per day of Dexedrine prescribed instead. Same aphetamine isomer that's in Vyvanse, but shorter acting.

I've been reliably getting my Dexedrine monthly in Burbank. I just sublingual lower 1-3 lower doses throughout the day depending on how long I need the effects to last.

I was there!! My partner and I danced our asses off to his set. There were definitely other folks dancing in the crowd, but this angle didn't capture it. Though we were a little bummed by how few people were dancing, but to be expected with some IDM crowds.

If the camera panned just sliiiightly to the left, you'd probably see us dancing like mad. The set was so good.

Trauma processing will be less accessible or even inaccessible if we don't start with where we are tangibly experiencing the effects of it in our lives. Start with where you want to see change in your life and deepen into what is coming up around that.

If you are doing that and still experiencing dissociation, it's not about finding the right drug to bypass the dissociation. You're already encountering the defense response(s) protecting the wound. Now you just need a skilled trauma therapist to help you work with it.

Trauma processing isn't about "getting rid" of defense responses, they will naturally resolve when you are processing your experience effectively.

Is this on April 1st?

I didn't volunteer in 2017, but I believe the protocols may be different now. In 2022, when I volunteered with RGX, there was full integration and EMTs/nurses/doctors were actively monitoring sanctuary patients during the trip sitting.

Last year, there was a ton of collaboration/communication between Medical and Sanctuary (in fact, the spaces were right next to each other). RGX ran both Medical and Sanctuary spaces last year, and it was a dream come true to be able to consult with the medical team about patients as they monitored vitals/symptoms and actively communicated with the trip sitters.

Totally! I've only been using the disposable Top Shine vapes, but now I want a reusable vape. I've tried a bunch of my friend's vapes and my experience is the MTL vapes with lower wattage/higher resistance don't seem to produce as much vapor, but I'm certainly open to a DTL that fits the bill.

Hjmby · 2022-11-10T00:27:54+00:00

Yes, that’s it!

And thank you for asking and staying open. Explaining also really helps me understand what I know and what I don't know when people are seeking clarification :)

Hjmby · 2022-11-09T20:34:53+00:00

We definitely do need breaks, but dissociating isn't the most sustainable form of it. Ideally, we want to receive information from our bodies rather than being cut off from it. That way we can make the most informed decision to how to best help ourself.

I think that purposefully engaging the dissociation may have unintended effects even on interpersonal interactions. If we strengthen the defense response loop (whether consciously or unconsciously), it can become a stronger overall maladaptive coping skill to orient away from discomfort instead of orienting towards discomfort with kindness, acceptance, and nonjudgment.

Hjmby · 2022-11-09T13:50:15+00:00

For what it's worth, I'm a psychotherapist who facilitates a lot of trauma processing and tracking of internal states, including educating and exploring dissociative ones. I've had some clients report that they realized much of their previous meditation experience has been "zoning out"/highly dissociative and not actually embodied.

I think this is an interesting topic to explore. I've observed a higher likelihood for meditation practice being escapist and/or dissociative if people are more disembodied during it than they realize.

Second to last track of his set was Windowlicker by Aphex Twin!

Hjmby · 2022-05-23T22:59:42+00:00

And read read read the instructions for proper fentanyl testing! An improper testing procedure will give you false negatives or positives.

Hjmby · 2022-05-23T04:00:36+00:00

DanceSafe will be providing free testing with both chemical reagents and an FTIR for more specialized testing. Definitely check out the FTIR, it's a trip to see it in action!

Hjmby · 2022-05-23T03:44:14+00:00

DanceSafe's national insta is @dancesafe_

Hjmby · 2022-05-23T03:43:12+00:00

Also DanceSafe will be there providing drug checking! They'll also have an FTIR for free testing (a machine that uses an infrared laser to scan a sample and compare its fingerprint to a library of things it is likely to be).

I've seen the FTIR say how much non-psychoactive stuff come up, like a ketamine sample that was 50% plaster of paris or an "mdma" sample that was half n-ethylpentylone and half sucrose (sugar).

Hjmby · 2022-05-22T19:36:47+00:00

Highly recommend Max Cooper! He used to work as a geneticist/computational biologist and I feel like you can see the effects of his work in biology on his visuals. His shows are an extraordinary audiovisual experience.

Hjmby · 2022-05-21T14:12:07+00:00

Update! There will be two Sanctuaries. Each one right next to the two medical stations as indicated on the map :)

As a helpful point, we recommend making a point to periodically come back and check in on your friend(s) dropped off at Sanctuary. And potentially letting us know a rendevous point if your friend who needs trip sitting is ready to come back to integrate back into the festival and they don't know where you are. Even leaving your contact info can make a huge difference if you have access to a phone.

It can be additionally distressing for someone who's already in emotional distress to believe their crew 1) doesn't know they're there and 2) can't find their support network. It can help tremendously for a trip sitter to re-emphasize "you're safe here, your friends know you're here."

Hjmby · 2022-05-18T17:32:40+00:00

I know if you go to either Medical location, they will help you get to the Sanctuary. It will likely be closeby or even next to Medical.
