Recently purchased Deadpool on Xbox 360, Glad I got it just got to find time between trying out the BETA of Call of Duty, The Edit that I've been sitting on for the past 3+ months as well as Marvel's Spider-Man 2 releasing in less than 10 days.
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Individuals facing physical and mental multimorbidity and social marginalization are considered to have “complex health and social needs.” This study seeks to address the following question: what mental health care experiences are valued by individuals with complex health and social needs? Semi-structured interviews were conducted with fifteen individuals experiencing complex health and social needs, including homelessness. Interview data was analyzed using an interpretive description approach. Participants valued services and providers who cared <em class="a-plus-plus">with them and for them. Care for</em> service users with complex needs required flexible processes and individualized care planning and treatment. <em class="a-plus-plus">Care with</em> service users demanded genuine, collaborative interpersonal interactions. These elements were evident across steps in an episode of care, from intake through assessment and treatment to transitions and discharge. These findings highlight particular challenges in operationalizing evidence-based care in mental health care for people with complex health and social needs.</p>

Looking to dip my toes into Linux for the first time. I have a 2016 Intel MacBook Pro with pretty solid specs collecting dust right now that I think I’m going to use. Research so far has indicated to me that the two best options for me are likely Mint or Elementary OS. Does anyone have any insight? Also open to other OS’s. I would consider myself decently tech savvy but I am not a programmer or anything. Comfortable dipping into the terminal when the need arises and all that.
If you’re white “socialist” in the West who thinks Hamas is chill & you applaud their murder & kidnap of Israeli civilian, you aren’t a socialist. You’re not an internationalist.
You’re an orientalist in the classic white European sense of the word, and one who dislikes Jews.
@rml Blake, I’m sorry to say but your comment is out of line. It’s ignorant and untrue. I am a life long activist for Palestinian rights. I do not condone the genocide of the Palestinian people and do not equate anti-Zionism to antisemitism. I spend my days and nights promoting the delinking of those two things and am attacked daily by the Zionist right for it. That you would accuse me of that shows your bad faith and belief that anyone who doesn’t support Hamas is in fact the enemy of the Palestinians. Your claim that Hamas is the only Palestinian resistance to the State of Israel and Zionism is false. This is NO DIFFERENT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, or FORM to those who make the actually antisemitic claim that “all Jews are supporters of the State of Israel and that the State of Israel speaks for all Jews”. This is false. The Left opposition to Hamas is consistently put down, harassed, arrested, and killed. Hamas is NOT the resistance, the only resistance, and DOES NOT speak for all Palestinians.
Your own orientalist outlook shows with your outrageous and asinine post from your discussions of shihsa smoking to your mention of the Samaritans (who are not Jews, BTW). Your orientalist outlook fails to mention Hamas’s actual charter (not the 2017 fake one used to appease people like you) which is still the de facto position of its members and supporters, save some reformers. Your orientalist outlook ignores Hamas’ leaders domination of the Palestinian working class from their luxury homes in Doha. Shameful.
I encourage you to read my MANY posts on this issue, including over the past few days. Your aggressive and false accusations over my views and beliefs are EXACTLY what my previous post was about. Be well.
You're just making stuff up! The left of the resistance is the PFLP, which is in an alliance with Hamas since the 2017 prisoner hunger strikes!
The most widely beloved leftist leader in Palestine of the past decade is Basel al-Araj, a comrade of mine, was murdered by the IDF in collaboration with the PA during an operation in Balata camp, while being hosted in a Hamas safe house. I was in Nablus when it happened!
Not mention Nizar Banat, the most inspiring PFLP voice of recent times who advocated unity of Hamas and PFLP, and was subsequently assassinated by the PA.
Mini-thread 🧵 Just wrapping up the #German Studies Association conference in beautiful Montreal (with less than beautiful weather)
I have to say: an overstuffed program with 32 (!) concurrent sessions, starting at 8 a.m. (!) is just idiotic: the laudable desire to include as many talks as possible (ppl need to give talks in order to get funding to travel) becomes counterproductive at some point. The fact that some panels on related topics were given the same time slot also makes no sense 😩 1/n
@CitizenWald@histodons@NMW Hoping the book comes out in paperback so I can afford it, though I know how difficult it is with scholarly books. Congratulations on its publication!
Earlier this year I went to the post office to get stamps, and I saw a set of stamps in the Black Heritage series depicting Ernest J. Gaines. I had never heard of this man. Who was he, I thought?
I bought the stamps and headed home, but it didn't seem right to use them without getting familiar with his work which is clearly a big fucking deal if he's on a stamp. When I got home I googled him and l found his book "The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman" on Libby and borrowed it.
Well I just finished the book and wow! Phenomenal book. I absolutely understand why he is on a stamp and I thank whoever advocated for him to be on a stamp for introducing me to his work.
If you also missed out on Ernest Gaines' work in your literary education... go read this book! And more of his work!
Interact with the story by helping the main character make choices, complete tasks in the form of mini-games, and most importantly, find hints about their night out in this FMV.
The research found that kids with ASD and ADHD couldn't clear out BPA and another similar compound called Diethylhexyl Phthalate (DEHP) with as much efficiency as other kids, potentially leading to longer exposure to their toxic effects.
IF these compounds are more prevalent recently, and IF the toxic effects are what cause the ADHD symptoms, THEN we might end up with newly ADHD adults who don't get diagnosed as such because there is no childhood history of such.
BPA has neurotoxic effects and it would be interesting to know what "faulty" flushing of the substance does to the brain of an adult. Is it the same as for kids?
Shopping clothes is a huge issue for me. What I sometimes describe as "clothing store phobia", can perhaps be broke down to:
(Fear of) sensory overload: harsh lighting, music, advertisements, amounts of clothes and information to process
Anxiety because of uncertainty (e.g. about the available products and their prices)
Social phobia: Sometimes there are a lot of people in shops. Will they judge me for being "weird" (queer & neurodiverse)? Will I be brave enough to ask the sellers if I have some question? What if someone interacts with me and my brain shuts down?
Agoraphobia
Perhaps lightly traumatic experiences from sensory overload from previous store visits
After I broke down the problem, I can try to find coping strategies:
Try to find the product range online.
To counter overstimulation, wear protective items such as earplugs (and perhaps blue light-filtering glasses, which I still want to get), and stim rigorously.
Go at a time where there are less people.
Also plan in time for recovery.
If I can look inside the shop from the outside, discretely observe the place and the people; try to make an "mental map", so that I know where to go.
First time go only quickly, to get a better overview of the place; next time I'll have fewer fear of going to a new place.
Apply hyper-focus and only look for one particular kind of item (e.g. midi-skirts). That means that I also have to make thoughts which kind of style I want to wear.
Remember that I don't need to buy anything!
If I don't have spoons for fitting clothes, buy them and try them out at home. I can later either return them later or donate them.
Avoidance is still a viable strategy. Buying online can be comfortable, since I'm in a familiar environment where I can dim the lights and block ads & animations. I can carefully compare the sizes with my measurements, so that I have to return (and try on) less.
I previously wrote about this issue on Mastodon, and I included some of the advice I got from there: https://todon.eu/@maxi/110338158852163385 (Unfortunately, part 2 of that toot got auto-deleted, but it only was about how to find a personal style)
I also got a lot of good advice from hashtags and groups!
