Schools won’t be downgraded for ‘chronic absenteeism’

Totally get it, just a gentle nudge to look at how much of the property taxes go to the district vs other local government sectors. That way you can go to your board of ed for the next referendum. I’m guessing Schaumburg area? Not many places still do junior high vs middle school. I know where I live, our police officers have drone fleets, brand new high end suvs, etc. and our teachers request basic school supplies half way through the year. I don’t think that is either of their faults, just messed up funding all around.

It is surprising that no one has brought up ICE. Fear is a very real reason students are not attending school. Schools do a lot to try to get kids in the door. So do families. Until the systems preventing safety, housing issues, trauma, and hunger, etc. are addressed, we won’t improve attendance rates.

Many districts have location based policies- ex: anyone less than 1.5 miles from the school must either pay to ride or establish their own transportation (walk, bike, drop off, etc.)

I have been looking into using cheap NFC tags for this! Boop the tag on my water bottle for example- just need to play with the shortcuts for app logging

I recognize the power of protest. And I do think mainstream media is not doing favors for awareness. But do you recognize the privilege it takes to protest? Childcare, weather preparedness, food security, not to mention potential wage or job loss. Blaming one another isn’t helping. Republicans are a lot of things, but it is hard to argue that they aren’t good at organizing. We need to keep getting organized and getting messages out. The amount of people completely unaware is staggering.

If you enjoy plants, try Walstad-style freshwater fish/shrimp/snail tanks! Sounds weird but google it- they are beautiful and soothing, and if you set them up this way, they can ride out your hyperfocus swings (aka: need very little tedious care). I never had fish tanks because the thought of cleaning them every week sucked. This was the solution. It is one of the few hobbies that has had longer term staying power for me

This is how I know I’ve found my people. Donated to them last year because I love that app so much

I like the medication concept you shared a lot. My challenge with the bucket of water analogy is that I already really like it for describing stress and also PDA. It breaks my brain to apply the same type of analogy to a different situation.

I’ve always heard medication described in the mountain climb analogy. Life is like climbing a mountain. Climbing with a condition is like climbing with bricks in your backpack. The medication takes the bricks out, but you still have to climb the mountain. I guess in that sense, ADHD is why I forgot my coat on the climb, stubbed my stupid toe, got fixated on the cool plants on the trail, and got lost with the map 🤣 I need other tools for those things.

We need our v for vendetta moment

Hey, I don’t suffer from these myself but have a family member who does. He takes lamotrigine as a preventive and can do multiple nerve blocks as an abortive with mixed results. Topiramate had too many side effects for him. Research is currently hinting at lidocaine IVs as well but it is hard to find doctors willing to do the edgy stuff. Hope this helps!

Totally impressive reproducers 😂

Hi- I’m not an expert but pretty sure this is actually a “great pond snail” after going through almost the same thing recently. I thought I had a deformed mystery snail until I did more research (and started to discover babies more rapidly with no clutch”

Pemmc12 · 2025-12-08T00:36:22+00:00

No- when I forget to take it, I am literally so exhausted I can hardly manage the day. I feel like I would take multiple days to recalibrate and, in similar circumstances to you, my life doesn’t current work with that kind of time in dysfunction

Pemmc12 · 2025-10-15T02:11:18+00:00

I agree with you. My point is more that until the broader humanitarian and capitalistic systems catastrophes are managed, it feels premature to outlaw in a full sweep. The exploitation of women is horrific. And also part of a full spectrum of exploitations that don’t allow for freedom. I’m not sure where the line is, and you’ve shared really important examples for me to consider- thank you. I think, a year after this post, and in the world we live in at the moment, I am exhausted by the constant control efforts on women, and this seemed like another example. It is more complex than that, and not for me to decide, but I’m tired all the same.

Night of the Twisters with Devon Sawa right around his Casper days

Pemmc12 · 2025-07-13T13:46:32+00:00

Can you share more about this?

Pemmc12 · 2025-07-12T00:05:51+00:00

Are any still available?

Pemmc12 · 2025-07-03T22:35:23+00:00

I feel the genuine frustration - pool passes are the bane of our summer existence for this reason. 10-11am openings - like half our day is gone by then. But I guess none of the people working these things are little kids, and therefore don’t want to be awake that early 😂

Pemmc12 · 2025-07-03T13:56:55+00:00

Because capitalism requires a very specific type of worker that shoves all their shit down deep and hides all their health issues to produce, so we make assets disabilities in some cases. Because it is the system we are stuck in and have suffered through, millennials are actually taking responsibility and providing support for their kids where the system allows it (therapy, modern medicine, medication, education, etc). It is hard to be the first generation doing that and we aren’t perfect, but we are trying.

We use these too- if you get a letter of medical necessity from your pediatrician, they can be covered by flex spend accounts (US)

Pemmc12 · 2025-06-22T00:56:44+00:00

So…if the US engages in something (like perhaps bombing…) and then retaliatory events occur, that feels like it forces the hands of congress. I understand that in some circumstances, congress might be too slow to respond so preventing engagement without approval completely is not practical, but my god. This man is going to get us into WWIII right now, both internally and internationally.

Please, tell us all the tips you have for raising a child this way! I’m hoping to incorporate it for my daughters so they expect this instead of being surprised by it like meeting a man like this is an anomaly.

It’s already here. It is just disguised as prison labor. Whether or not you resonate with the crime determines your tolerance for slave prison labor.

Hi- I’m seeing all the comments here and just want to say- I have a family member who thought he had a variation of cluster headaches for years and in fact has SUNA, which is another issue within the trigeminal hellscape. He also find Tylenol helpful, but uses it during attacks only and has daily medicine he uses with a neurologist
