Oh I thought I put it in my bio. Will need to fix that.
This is my store:

I have to buy most things online since some stores are complicated bus routes, and I can only fit what can go in my wheelchair backpack and on my lap. I also appreciate online shoppers since I have an online store that is my only income.

Same. I get the “my grandkid has autism” when I asked how they knew without me having to tell them. Basically if someone knows an autistic kid then they see it right away.

I’ve been alright. Managing. How have you been?

On my Mastodon server we have 10,000 characters. On X I have 10,000 characters. So I’m used to that.

Bluesky is a bit hard to get used to. This app has the lowest character limit of all social media, so it’s hard to know what to post and how to say it in so few words. I’m not sure how much effort I’ll put into growing this account. Don’t have headspace to learn a new social media app.

They know they own me. I do whatever they tell me to do. I’m a very obedient servant because I just want them to be happy. 😄

I don’t know how much faith I have in Bluesky being around long term. The guy who created Twitter is following the same business model with Bluesky. It took him years to start monetizing Twitter. Close to bankruptcy because they couldn’t figure out how to turn Twitter profitable. Same as Bluesky.

I can’t take SSRIs. They turn me into a crazy mess. I’ve been seeing my psychiatrist for 2 years and he said there’s nothing else for me to take, unfortunately. He’s seen how I’ve reacted to many things over the years and none of the options do anything good for me.

All stimulants. They’ll all make me act manic. I can only do non-stimulants.

It’s only for people with private insurance. Uninsured may get up to $150 off 30 pills. They want their price gouging no matter what.

Thank you 💕

I think the same guy who created original Twitter also created Bluesky, so it basically is the old Twitter. Just with Mastodon style usernames.

The Bella Canvas 3001 shirts are made in Nicaragua. I sell them with print on demand and they cost me a lot more than the price in the screenshot.

Same. My psych said today there’s no other medications I can take and I’ll just have to learn to manage it as best as I can. His suggestion was self-help books and therapy. I have such a hard time paying attention when reading and listening to audiobooks, but I’ll need to figure it out.

Same. Online and phone calls and texting is my entire socializing. Unless you count bus drivers when I go to the post office haha.
Your old server is still online but pretty much everyone jumped ship. Some came to my server and some went elsewhere.

If you do come back to Mastodon you are welcome on my server. We have a 10,000 character limit now. I’m still on there every day. How do you feel after your social media break?

Dell makes their PCs in Mexico, so you won’t be hit with the tariffs as bad with them. When I custom ordered my Alienware PC it was made and shipped from their facilities in Mexico.

That is good advice. Especially with the way people are behaving lately.
