happy birthday, master diluc 🌹

I've been informed that what I had thought was a still from the game was actually art by @hagihino ! It looks so good- kudos!

Start in femme drag- country girl looking but BUT

This is a drag king's set- bc the mommy milkers are just a snap on breast plate. At the last chorus-snap the bitch off saying "Man, I don't feel like a woman"

is this

BEHOLD!

I fucking knew it, I SAID it: they're making ADHD people the next culture war targets. They will 'just ask questions' until we lose every scrap of ground we've gained in the last decade and more. We may not quite inspire the same level of hatred as a sexual minority, but we can very easily be made to inspire disdain and that also works.

They will strip us of our accomodations and our medications and try to stifle any sense of shared identity, and if that kills some of us, oh well. So long as it fuels another outrage cycle, fine.

So many of the tropes they've been using on trans people work extremely well on ADHD people too! "There are too many of these people suddenly! It must be a fad! It spreads through friend groups! And online! People are going private for diagnoses and that's bad! They are using pOwERfUl medical interventions and we think it's freaky!"

I saw the first ripples of this in terf circles about two years ago. And of course it's spread.

6% of British ADHD people lost their jobs in the last year thanks to the meds shortage. SIX PER CENT! And that just made these ghouls go "ooh, tasty, what else can we do?"

Recently an 'expert' was on the BBC saying people see ADHD diagnosis as a "golden ticket." Laurence Fox has been ranting that the condition doesn't exist and threatening "'you won't poison my child's body [with ADHD meds] against my consent"

We have absolutely nothing to offer that reliably works as well as stimulant medication. In fact the way to avoid the sometimes dire effects of ADHD is early and reliable access to stimulant medication.

Negative effects like fucking addiction.

Yes, reliable access to stimulant meds helps PROTECT people with ADHD from addiction.

But insurance doesn’t want to pay for meds and there are lobbying groups fighting to make sure more people are diagnosed with or actually treated for ADHD.

God these people get SO PISSED when something works. I was copping shit for taking Gabapentin — a very old anti seizure drug that works for nerve pain — because “people end up needing to keep upping the dose and then they take it forever”. Because they’re in fucking pain!! It’s not addictive. It’s not an opiate. It only makes you feel good because fuck it feels good not to feel like you’re being bit up by fire ants all the time.

Specifically Ritalin is a C-II the same control tier as Adderall and opioids This forces prescribers to send a prescription each month since refills are not allowed. Prescribers tend to get around this by sending multiple prescriptions after an office visit but dating the different scripts for the next 3 or 6 months (if you got a prescription for today 5/12/24 they would have thay dated for today, fill asap, one would say do not dispense until 6/11/24, the other would say do not dispense until 7/11/24 since those would be the next soonest dates after today's fill. 30 days is the limit.

With the shortages some people have been forced to get less than a months supply- but they lose the remaining amount since you can't refill on a C-II even if there are tablets remainkng. Then they have to contact their doctor for a new prescription. If it's at a different pharmacy they also need a new prescription, regardless if it's the same chain of stores or a new franchise. They also won't be able to fill until you're done with the supply you received as a partial.
