Here's my small collection lol, I use all of them at the same time every day cause I have very little access to sunlight and theyre used to treat my sleep disorder. Behind the smaller lamps is also a pair of light therapy glasses

Some things worth knowing: they can trigger manic episodes in folks with bipolar disorder, and won't produce vitamin d like the sun, as they shouldn't emit any UV, so if you have a vitamin D deficiency you'll still need a supplement or sunlight. And you need to sit within the correct distance from them for them to work properly, it will vary depending on the lamp and a decent lamp should tell you that distance in the user guide/manual

Try not to use them too late in the day, as that can screw with your sleep- if you dont have my sleep disorder you should be okay to just go by when the sun is up or has set, as a guideline for it being too late

Carex makes the nicest ones I've used by far (thats what the big one in my pic is, though an older model, they have nicer ones out now). There are some other brands that make less expensive ones, but they may not be as bright or have as ideal of a light spectrum. If you have any questions feel free to ask, I'm not an expert but my condition has necessitated learning a lot about these things

Interesting read, thanks for sharing

How is that not assault with a deadly weapon?

Is this actually shitpost? (I dont know anything about curling or what's happening in the Olympics 😅 did Canada actually cheat or is it a joke?)

Forgot to reply lol. The local kink community has social events often on a schedule I can participate in, and its mostly just queer neurodivergent nerdy folks, so thats been my big community connection so far, and has been really good for me.

I just recently started going to my normal event again after a weird stint on a daytime schedule. It was lovely to see and catch up with folks again, and I ended up making plans to go work on a car with a friend I sometimes see at that event. It was a blast and we replaced a starter motor which was super cool ☺️

I'd really like to have more opportunities to engage with community though, so I'm hoping to find more ways to feel connected :)

Thats so cool, thanks for the plant milk history lesson!!

I've heard amazing things about Rumble if competitive PvP earth bending in vr appeals to you

Is it a known thing that they were dishonest about speaking to a lawyer with that situation?

I've been meaning to change instances and find a new home, if it's known that they lied or mislead their users thats something I'd love to know more about

I mean, I'm not a big fan of the carsal justice system, I don't think sending this 80 year old woman to die in prison will somehow bring back the dead, but not taking away her license is kinda unreal

A no contest rather than guilty pleas and moving assets feel like they may be things she was advised to do by her lawyer but do feel additionally gross.

The culmination of it all definitely does not feel like justice. Though people in the comments here calling for her to die in prison probably ought to do some self reflection on how much they've bought into the notion that harming those who have done wrong somehow makes society or victims better off. Our criminal justice system sucks ass, institutional retribution has never been "justice" either.

What a fucking depressing story and miscarriage of justice.

Thats bit of history is super cool, thanks for sharing! I will remember that

While it is good to have empathy and understanding for less technical folks, OP may be in a better position to know what is realistic for their family and level of support they can provide

While that's true I don't think Bernie is trying to say every district, he's disagreeing with the broader notion from entrenched Democrats that these are outliers that can't be replicated and that the Democratic party needs to stay moderate (neoliberal) to win. The article lists a couple more races where we could see this pattern of more progressive candidates winning continue

Other progressive victories victories could be on the horizon in Maine, where Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner has had a double-digit lead over Gov. Janet Mills in polls ahead of the June primary and raised three times as much as Mills and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) combined in small donations in the final quarter of 2025; and North Carolina, where Durham County Commissioner Nida Allam is challenging Rep. Valerie Foushee for a second time after losing a close race in 2022.

(Nida Allam is up for vote where I am I believe. While Foushee hasn't been a bad representative I'm excited to do more research on Allam and think I may be voting for her :)
