with why my adderall was having such uneven effects and varying efficacy
and the weird pattern of what made it work and not work and if it was building up in my system or not
and fucking nobody told me I shouldn’t drink a glass of Kool-Aid to take the pills with
or eat fucking Pop-Tarts or Life cereal
this is the most useful information I have ever received from tubr and it seems to be confirmed by several other places upon searching
so this actually should be spread like wildfire like actually
Me reading this realizing tunglr dawt kom gave me more information about my medication than MYDOCTORRRRRSSSSSS MYYYYYYYY FUCKENNNNN DOCTORSSSSS PLURAL MULTIPLE DOCTORSSSSSSSS
Reblogging to spread this ridiculously important info
Generally speaking, your doctors actually may not know these things. This is the kind of stuff to ask your pharmacist about.
Are. You. Kidding. Me. I’VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH MY ADHD MEDS NOT WORKING SOMETIMES AND THIS IS WHY???????
well fuck
Chaotic Evil Me: Using antacids has the reverse effect.
Source: I used to rail those mfs
Also: from the Introduction section of this study. I had to cite the introduction because it’s the last part of it that I understand. I don’t think this was tested in a living human person, it’s like dog kidney cells and a blood/amphetamine mixture that they put through an Ultra-centrifuge at 435,000 Gs. Science is crazy.
“For example, when urine pH decreased from alkaline (pH ≈ 7.5–8.5) to acidic (pH ≈ 4.5–5.5), the amount of drug excreted unchanged in urine for weak bases, such as pethidine, methamphetamine, and mexiletine, increased up to 21-fold (Chan, 1979), 48-fold (Beckett and Rowland, 1965c), and 87-fold (Kiddie et al., 1974), respectively, whereas the renal clearance of weak acids, such as chlorpropamide (Neuvonen and Kärkkäinen, 1983) and salicylic acid (Macpherson et al., 1955), decreased by 99% and 97%, respectively… This demonstrates that the magnitude of urine pH effect on plasma AUC could be as significant as drug-drug interactions resulting from coadministration with a strong inhibitor or inducer.”
This probably wasn’t my original source for the pH thing though, cuz it’s been like 15 years since I heard about this
please don’t reblog this post a devilish temptress tricked me into making it and she placed a hex upon it so that every reblog removes a molecule from my body
The politicians sit in their ivory towers, debating endlessly on the plights of the common man. But when will I, the uncommon man, be addressed? When will my needs be debated and promptly ignored?
I cry a little bit every time I see this comic circulated. The man’s name is Martin Gugino; he’s a peace activist here in Buffalo. He’s since made a full recovery, and is currently active in local pro-Palestine organizing.

i don’t know man, i just wish that we could [suddenly realising i’m coming dangerously close to expressing a real and earnest thought instead of filtering everything through several layers of intangible running bits] blow up the entire world. or something.

🇵🇸 the University of New Mexico is camping for for a free Palestine!! 🇵🇸
UNM is not happy about this
our encampment lives!! we made it through night 1!!!
[ID: a cardboard sign saying “cops go home we’re staying”]
Day 3 of the encampment!! we’re still here!!!
Day 4!!! we are not leaving until UNM divests!!
[ID: A lamp post with the Palestine flag hanging from it. a sign says “the revolution will be incentivized feed the people protect the people house the people educate the people” a sign below it says “cease fire” in all caps]
Day 5!!!
numbers dwindled as dead week approaches. we only had ~11 people this night. cops left expired citations early in the night but left and did not return! one demonstrated real maturity (/sarcasm) by putting an L to their forehead while passing us
we are still here and we will be here until UNM divests!!
police raided camp, stole a bunch of shit we are allowed to have, and then assaulted someone at the camp.
day 6! last night police gave notice that we are not allowed to sleep there anymore. they harassed the group 4 times during the night to make sure no one was sleeping. people stayed overnight with little to no rest.
day 7! resident life and student housing wants us gone by Monday. we have no plans to leave. last night the cops visited several times but most of the time they left before reaching camp. one of the times that they made it to camp they pushed me around alongside at least 2 other people. no one was injured or arrested.
if anyone could support us with some phone calls we could really use some help. police have been becoming increasingly violent. in particular officer Nicole Thorn (badge # 1238) and Travis Lente (badge # 1252) have been violent towards students. please help by calling the following numbers and demanding that, at minimum, they be reassigned due to their pattern of escalation and aggression. PROTECT THE PACK! HANDS OFF OUR STUDENTS!
Joseph Silva, Chief (505)277-1933
Christine Chandler, Deputy Chief (505)277-1934
Arturo Gonzalez, Commander, (505)277-3065
Tim Stump, Commander, (505)277-1935
Pete Guevera, Lieutenant, (505)277-0992
cops came by again and shoved me again. this time not just shoulder checking me but using their hands to full force shove me. I was the only one shoved and I was not injured. they are planning to remove us tonight and if they’re using this much force in the daytime they will only use more at night.
[ID: a sign with a duck on the left wearing a kufiya. on the right it says “UNM Divests Dislocate Declare These are our demands” in all caps]
the camp survived the night! happy day 8!!!
we! are! still! here!
RLSH still wants us gone today so we’ll likely be facing violence from the police. we’re very worried about the possibility of tear gas being deployed in camp. we are prepared for this but calling UNM PD is so helpful. let them know that the world is watching them and that they will not get away with harming us.
today we’re holding a rally and march at 6pm. we demand:
Declare; a public call for ceasefire and an end to the occupation
Disclosure; of all UNM investments
Divestment; from all companies involved in the genocide of Palestinians
[ID: a pillar in a building with art on it saying “FREE GAZA LIBERATION NOW” with a watermelon]
We took the student union building!!!! 🎉🎉
28+ state police cars outside, 10+ UNM PD, no arrests so far
multiple people were maced and arrested but we held the building until about 4am
camp is back up!
one of my friends was pretty badly beaten by riot police
camp is still going! it’s day 10? 11? I’ve lost track I pulled an all nighter yesterday it doesn’t feel like the protest was two nights ago. a total of 16 people were arrested and many people experienced police brutality. multiple people sustained injuries from the police. almost, if not all, of our comrades are out of jail

It’s day 15!!!! we are officially the longest occupation of UNM campus in history. I have mixed feelings about this- it’s amazing that we’ve stuck around for so long but I wish we didn’t have to. I wish our demands were met so we could leave.
😳 <- this emoji but without the blush or romantic connotation. im not blushing im staring you directly in your fucking eyes
if you excuse the bad editing it would look like this
can we hit 150k before this piece of shits one year anniversary
u know before yellow emojis took over as automatic, the one we used for this exactly was O_O . which has unfortunately become the shortcut for the stupid blushy one. but we also used to emphasize the emotion by making the mouth bigger, O_________O . there was also o_O , for when you’re weirded out, and o_o for small weirds or intrigue. you could use a period instead of an underscore for the mouth, o.o, O.O, which was a little more like shock.
there was also -_- for when you’re annoyed. -_-* for pissed. the asterisk is a forehead vein. a very bad day or very bad joke could result in -___________-********** .
anyway that’s your history lesson for the day, dont forget your roots.
chell, doomguy, link, samus, and master chief are all in the server and not one of them has ever sent a message in it. they all consider the others to be their closest friends
there’s a channel where Red sends pictures of all of his pokemon and they all get a Thumbs Up emoji react from everyone else
Eventually Link starts posting selfies in the most crazy places with monsters in the background about to hit him or closeups of plants and small critters. They also get a Thumbs Up react. Nothing else is said.
“This person has a secret onlyfans!” “This artist does NSFW commissions!” “This author writes porn on the side!” I cannot begin to tell you how swag and awesome that is.
So I started working again today, and me and my coworker had to squeeze lemons which usually is a really un fun job but TODAY. We had the mostly lovely batch of lemons to work with. So we rated how smoothly they cut and how nice the insides of them looked for about an hour. An absolutely marvelous time I gotta say
And in case anyone was wondering
Here she is. The most lovely lemon I’ve ever laid eyes upon
Just thinking about her. I can’t believe we had to turn her into lemon juice
bella was lucky she didn’t have a cell phone of any kind because you know ya boi edward would be blowing up that phone 24-7 going “saw a snail today…. effervescent” or some shit equivalent
sick of seeing hate thrown towards “baby gays.” let them wear rainbows. let them wear their pride flags like capes. let them make jokes about their identity and talk about it all the time. let them wear tails and puppy ears. let them do what is constantly deemed as “cringe.” let them be excited about finally being able to express their true selves. they deserve it. we all deserve it.

Wyoming, one of the most useless states in the union, has decided to make itself even more useless by disenfranchising about a quarter of the electorate in hopes of cementing its shitty republican majority and bloody senators.
any followers who live there and didn’t vote previously:
There are fewer adults over the age of 21 in that state than there are children in my local school system. What the fuck, Wyoming, you’re pretty and all but HONESTLY.
1) a very simple and genuine “i like your shoelaces”, which tells me that you are either a lesbian or a very cool ally
2) “i like your shoelaces” followed by the pronounced grimace of one recalling their past sins, which tells me that you were a 2012 tumblr user. i now hold the power in this conversation and you are at my mercy.
if you know about 2012 tumblr how do you hold any power in any conversation
well, stucky fanfic url, the trick is to not let them know that you are also cringe
I feel genuine sympathy for this dude. He killed his whimsy for love.
free him
BALANCE IS RESTORED !!
I checked the guy’s Reddit account. He shaved it off because it was too high-maintenance and he was super busy after the birth of his daughter. Feel like the original Tumblr post is kind of implying that his wife pushed him to do it, which I’m happy to report isn’t the case!
some of y'all need to learn how to accept hospitality. stop assuming people are only offering to look after you out of twisted obligation that they don’t actually want to do. when you assume that, you are often denying someone the opportunity to genuinely show a friend or stranger love. even if you don’t really care about what they’re offering, it’s respectful of their desire to be kind to accept it anyways.
i had a bunch of girls i’ve never met over for a women’s group. every single one of them denied my offer to make them tea (despite already making myself a mug anyways), get them water, a scone, etc.
i can tell when people refuse to let me be a good host because they “don’t want to be a bother”. like no!! please be a bother!!! i want to serve you and make you comfortable in my home!
not to be like “we live in a society” but really do live in a modern culture than emphasizes individualism to the point where people will reflexively deny any help or kindness from others for fear of treading on their independence. newsflash: dependence on each other is what makes a community. next time someone offers you kindness, accept it instead of making excuses for why you don’t need it. otherwise you’ve robbed both yourself of being loved and someone else from showing love.
One of the things that really helped me make friends as an adult was learning that people want to be wanted, they want to be useful
Accepting help and offering help in return was key to deepening acquaintances into fully-fledged friendships
What up everyone Jack’s talking about the croissant thing again:
In 2019, I was very mentally and physically ill, and I was recommended to an IOP program, or, as I often called it, Suicide Prevention Daycamp For Grown-Ups.
It was technically a 4-6 week program, but I was not in a place where the counselors and I agreed that I was safe to graduate the program until about week #22 or so. So I was going to intensive group trauma therapy (to say nothing of all the other doctors I had to see), for 15+ hours a week for 5 months.
And one of the things that helped me regain and strengthen my will to live more than anything was going to the nice little bakery beside the hospital in the mornings before session started; buying 3-4 pastries, a banana, and a Lara bar (a gluten-free vegan* snack bar); taking one pastry for myself; and then walking around the morning meeting room at IOP giving away everything else.
* I’m not vegan for gluten-intolerant, but at least one person in my program was.
I did this once on a whim after about a month at IOP, and I liked doing it so much that I then continued to do it every single day I was there for the next 4 months. (I didn’t have a lot of extra money, but it was some of the best spending I’ve ever chosen to do in my life, and I have never regretted it.)
There were about 12-20 of us there in the mornings, depending on the day, and the interactions generally went like this:
Me: Good morning! Have you eaten?
Them: Uhh no.
Me: Okay cool! *I open up my white paper bakery bag like I’m a semi-suicidal Santa* So I’ve got a chocolate croissant, an almond croissant, and a banana left! Which one would you like?
Them: Ohh, you don’t have to do that, I don’t need anything…
Me: I didn’t ask if you need anything, I asked which one you’d like!!
Them: Someone else might need it more…
Me: I have bought these items for the purpose of giving them away, and if no one takes them, I will have to throw them out.
Them *with the most grateful look I’ve ever seen on a person, knowing they haven’t been completely forgotten and that it IS easy for at least one person on this fucking planet to be goddamn kind to them*: …the chocolate croissant. :)
Me *realizing that I want to spend the rest of my life chasing this feeling and showing people I care that they are okay and then realizing that I’ve suddenly started thinking of “the rest of my life” in the long-term again*: Awesome, here you go! :,)
—
And I like this post because it made me remember how grateful I am that those folks let me be kind to them because just by taking a banana from me and saying thank you, they literally helped me build up the will to live and to decide what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.
It was also a great way to remind a lot of thoroughly abused, invalidated, and neglected people [read: generally, most of us that end up at mental hospitals] that someone gives a fuck about them in a tangible way, and that at least SOMETIMES people offer help without secretly expecting guilt or repayment.
More than once, someone told me that when they came in on their first day, terrified and not knowing what to expect, they felt instantly more at ease after seeing me bustling about giving people high-quality snacks! And in a suicide-prevention program, feeling safe to stay in and be vulnerable in a space means a LOT.
- Comments like that one changed my entire self image tbh. The “croissant thing” gave me a tiny sense of control over my own life when I was close to death, and it showed me how just the tiniest amount of kindness and consideration can mean SO MUCH to people.
And none of that would have happened for me if all those folks hadn’t believed me when I said I really wanted to make sure they had something to eat! What a kindness it is to be allowed to do a kindness!!
i just finished making a pot of chili and my dear ex-wife @fallout-lou-begas made a pot of chili last week and all this chili reminds me of a conversation we had when we were still living together. i like to eat my chili with a peanut butter sandwich; lou usually makes corn bread to go with hers and thought my pairing was unusual. so now i wanna know:
