Local white supremacist/anti-immigrant paper, not to be trusted. I’ve seen them using slurs in their top front headlines.

If I can’t believe my own experiences, how am I supposed to believe anything else?
I’m sick of people telling me that police-car light bars, ambulance light bars, school bus strobe lights, post truck strobe lights, turn signals, and all the other flashing “safety signals” are safe and can’t possibly cause seizures.
I don’t think anyone’s trying to gaslight me, but I still feel gaslit.
These things can hurt, blind me in the direction of the flashing, cause hallucinatory flashing in other directions, blind me in the direction of that flashing too, disorient me, unabalance me, and leave me with severe migraines for days afterwards and one time vomiting.
I think this best fits occipital lobe seizures with post-ictal migraines, but pehaps there’s another explanation.
I don’t think this fits pnes which tends to have motor symptoms.
Now I can’t conceive of how anyone could get hit with these or with modern web design and not get sick, but if some can, then maybe they can’t conceive of how someone could get injured or sick from … however they think of these? high-safetypower safetyweapons creating safety? harmless doodads? no different from a color choice? I don’t know.
I the meantme when someone talks about firing these weapons… sorry, “turning them on,” I’m going to react with fear and horror and point out that dangerous weapons are dangerous and shouldn’t be fired so recklessly.

pridestudy.org had promised not to send any more emails until their site was safe.
it’s still not safe.
It still leaves me with migraines and severe nausea due to flashing, modals, and slow sliding animation.

I’ve been taking baking soda. It seems to help with my post-exertional migraines, though not my other triggers.
I’ve been exercising more, and sometimes cooking. I could barely manage 2 furlongs/day before, without triggering migraines some time afterwards, 20 furlongs or so today.
I’ve sometimes been walking in circles, in the process. Maybe a vestibular workout will help with some of my other symptoms.

32 furlongs!
(which is 4 miles… so not that impressive)
Hoping I don’t have a crash this evening or tomorrow. 32 furlongs is about the distance to the library, one-way. I figure I need to be able to go 80 furlongs, and cope with more flashing, before I can start to go to the library again.
P.S. Crash. Hoping bicarbonate + acetominophen + tea can help.

I just realized a digression I started writing on the 1st has reached 31,000 words today. It’s been exhausting and I’ve done this while doing so much else…

Close to 2 hours. Loud construction noise and shaking and nausea from woodchopper and @#$%^&* idling @#&r87[-yu trucks.
P.S. Now painmowers too. I hate painmowers.

“I repeated the phrase, as instructed: Do I feel like I am taking advantage of him. I then paused and answered the question, telling him that I would never take advantage of Jeff, that he knows that,” she wrote.
“You can clearly hear how they removed the ‘do’ and started my shot with me saying only, ‘I feel like I am taking advantage of him’ as a fact. That is not even how I talk and you can clearly hear the questioning tone of my voice. I would also never say such a thing,” Olave added.
Ooof.
That’s Rock Bottom1 levels of dishonest editing.

Been struggling with severe illness since Tuesday. Pain everywhere, especially head, arms legs, extreme fatigue, no pissing, asthma, labored Kussmaul breathing, itching. Probably a bad reaction to new anti-migraine and anti-seizure med. This can affect kidney function, gradually leading to acidosis at high doses. Or in my case it seems immediately leading to acidosis at low doses…

I hate helicopters. I see there are plenty of articles on avoiding motion sickness while riding the blasters, but I can’t find any on avoiding motion sicknress while on the ground getting buzzed by the blasters.
P.S. Been going an hour. Repeated direct passes, yellow livery with blue patch near base of tail.
P.P.S. Another helicopter, six hours later.

This study indicates that cobalt blue lenses can usually prevent strobe-induced seizures:
I think something similar might help me. I currently use gray Polare Cocoons. I looked up the blue ones but they have an almost identical color profile. It’s hard to find deeply-tinted cobalt blue wrap-around over-glasses sunglasses. I wonder if either blue or indigo “color therapy” glasses woud work…

On friday, I was surprised by 3 dogs in the no-dogs-allowed area. Today, I was cornered by a 4th. Is it really so much for dog-keepers to stop walking their dogs through the few areas marked as no-dogs-allowed?

Why do some people insist that the police are a well-regulated militia?
They’re a professional armed force, not a militia. They’re also insulated from civilian law. It’s at best debatable whether they’re civilians. Calling it a FACT that they’re not a professional armed force, and not outside civilian law, doesn’t change the … facts.

And tonight, from about 11:50 PM, the midnight helicopter is making repeated low-altitude passes sometimes exceeding 74 dB. Last night it was around 2:14 AM. Previous night about 12:30 AM.
