Welcome again to everybody! Make yourself at home. Sit down in that chair over there. Take off your shoes. I’m not cleaning mud off the floor. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We have our own Matrix homeserver at https://genzedong.org; you can make an account with any Matrix client (e.g. Element). We also have a GenZedong Matrix room (see the sidebar for more information), and there’s a general Lemmygrad Matrix room at .
Join our Discord if you are so inclined
Short reading list for new MLs here. To find theory (and other books), you can use z-lib, libgen, or Sci-Hub (for scientific articles). If an article is unavailable, try the Wayback Machine.
Oh damn I don’t know how you cope, the anticipation alone would have me shaking.
My nurse knows I’m a coward so she just gets me waffling about how much I hate tories and then stabs me when I’m distracted the fiend.
I’ve gotten desensitized to it due to years of constant injections and blood draws. I used to be scared when I was younger (lasted until I was around 10 years old) to the point that I would literally physically fight the nurses and doctors, though I was too young to actually do any harm to them. Even when something has to be injected into my face, the vasovagal reaction is not due to fear, at least not consciously, it’s just kind of a response to the weird sensation of feeling a liquid under my skin.
I don’t know what to say other than damn 🫂 i’m sorry 😭
