🎓 Doc Freemo 🇳🇱 @freemo@qoto.org

**I want to apologize to the whole #fediverse community, sincerely, for my recent behaviors over the last 4 months.**

If i have been rude or even short tempered with any of you my apologies you likely did not deserve it. Read on if you'd like to know the story and you can decide if I should be forgiven or not.

I know several months ago I made a similar apology, and this may fall on deaf ears, but I hope some of you will hear me out.

First off my last apology came at the face of an Israeli mob death threat on both me and my family. That added a lot of stress at the time and certainly led to me being a bit rude with some people, not an excuse but I do want to rehash it a bit for context. Many of you have noticed since then I do not go out without an open-carry weapon on my hip, this is why.

That said that is not the source of this apology but it is loose related.

I have been dealing with some health issues that, while not life threatening they have severely limited me in some ways. Specifically a very severe sleep disorder. The sleep disorder, and a brain fog that made it very hard for me to think and function normally. In and of itself these werent the root cause, there were underlying issues. But my attempt to treat the symptoms (since the underlying causes we unknown) actually led to a worsening of symptoms long term despite providing some help in the short term. I will explain.

Most of my life I had ADHD as a diagnosis, but it had never been a hindrance to me, in fact I saw it as something that improved my intellectual abilities overall. However this diagnosis allowed me to receive an adderall prescription to try to address the sleep disorder and brain fog, not to treat the ADHD directly, which I have been on for about the last 4 months. It was a low dose (20mg once a day in the morning to wake up). At first it addressed my symptoms with amazing results, but over time it led to a cure to my sleep issue but the brain fog got much much worse. In addition to that my irritability when interacting with people was worse and I have been quite dis-tempered with some of you, and I am deeply sorry for that if this describes you. It certainly continued to cure the sleep issue however and since normal sleep is needed for me to do my work i felt i needed to continue.

Recently however I decided to take matters into my own hands and stop relying on doctors. Instead I got labs through shady means to test for things doctors were dismissive of and wouldnt in the past let me get authorization to have tested. Namely my testosterone levels, thyroid hormone levels, and various blood sugar indicators. These tests revealed three underlying issues: 1) A severely low T-level (so low the tests couldn't even register trace amounts) 2) An extremely high Thyroid-stimulating hormone, 3x above the maximum normal range 3) metabolic disorder causing blood sugar and insulin irregularities (which likewise led to extreme runaway hunger).

At this point I found a doctor who was finally willing to listen to me, armed with a mountain of ill gotten blood tests and managed to convince her to test me properly for verification and finally treat my underlying diseases.

As of about a week ago I started treatment for my underlying diseases, needing to take injections of about 3 drugs, soon to be 4. Knowing that the root cause could finally be addressed I figured around the same time last week I could quit both the adderall and the sleeping medication entirely. Now that the underlying treatments are starting to work, and the old treatments out of my system I feel the best I've felt in years. I already lost 16 lbs, my brain fog has mostly evaporated, and while my sleep is still recovering it was quite improved last night... So while i have a ways to go to be 100% I am already back to my old self, how I used to be before the brain fog began. and certainly doing better than I was doing even 6 months ago.

I will do my best, going forward to treat you all with the respect and due consideration you deserve. Again my apologies.

So its done! I finally released a fairly easy to install (from scratch) Hugo based Static Site generator with full ActivityPub support.

It has step-by-step instructions on how to set it up for your own blog or static website.

One of the coolest features for me, other than having your static site blog posts show up as posts in the Fediverse is the support for interacting with those posts. Any replies you leave, likes, or boosts will show up in the "comments" section of the website on the page associated with the post. How cool is that!

To help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same. Add #introductions to the post.

So I got the raw 3d MRI source files from the hospital. Then I got the software needed to view the MRI in 3d. It let me rotate, slice, and even colorize the images. So **I** generated these images from the raw MRI. It shows my kidney, heart, and skeleton from 4 different angles fully colorized. How cool is that!

I also included some of just the heart and kidneys on its own from the same scan.

This is me

Harris lost in large part because she spent 4 years supporting Palestinian genocide... lets hope the democrats learn their lesson and might try to be decent humans next time we give them a chance...

#USPol #Harris #Palestine

Saying you are #neurodivergent / #neurotypical has become the modern day stand in for astrology signs.

Things never to confuse:

* kindness - weakness
* stupidity - mallice
* lust - love
* learning oppertunity - failure

I may not like Trump as president, but the one consolation is that Harris lost. The beauty of hating both parties is you always win every year since at least one of them always loses :)

I can never tell if a moley is holy or sacraligious...

You are god-like. You can literally do magick in your head (math) and use it to change the world to whatever great works you desire. The universe can not stand against you, any barrier it put in your way you can blow through like no creature has ever even imagined. You can create things the like of which has never existed in the whole of the universe...

You, a human, are one of the most powerful forces in the whole of existance, start acting like it.

You are always hearing people raving about how amazing women are and the "miracle of giving birth" and shit... I literally just took a shit that is easily twice the size of an average baby and not one person I showed the picture, not one, recognized it for the miracle it was! Sexism is everywhere kings, be safe out there

Interesting fact of the day. Invoking the 5th amendments right to remain silent can and will be used against you in civil court cases. The protection only really exists in criminal cases because in civil cases the jury is generally instructed to assume an invocation of the5th is due to the answer being incriminating.

You are not the king of your brain. You are the creepy guy staning next to the king going "most judicious choice sire"

@Ponygirl By the way, new thread (for tomorrow). I noticed you are a speech therapist. I recently noticed, through my own observations, that accent acquisition seems to occur **before** language acquisition. I notice this in babies who cant form words yet, but also in animals who havent quite evolved speech yet but can communicate, for example I have noticed it in both cats and dogs.

Any thoughts on this?

The vibe in the USA right now.
